De Roltrap | Musings of That Escalator Vlognik | Episode 10
I was not sure it was possible, but these escalator pieces are finally growing on me. After having been merely baffled by previous weeks, I found myself actually enjoying this one.
Bizarre, but Keep Posting!
Vlogging itself is a little bizarre and I guess sticking to a subject is even more. In fact I was inspired by The Phoneguy series at http://thatphoneguy.com/ Which of course is something completely else than an Escalator, but pretty much bizarre too. (The Phoneguy does not use a cellphone but his wallet. I am working with a lot of found footage and mixing my own footage with it. I also use a text into sound translator to make the voiceovers, which is pretty bizarre too, because you can translate any text into english, german, french and spanish, using this tool.The best way to work with it is to write words phonetically. Like: If I want to hear ‘De Roltrap’ the voice has to pronounce it as ‘The Roll Trap…’
By the way: De Roltrap is the dutch word for The Escalator. Crazy enough it might seem a bit connected to Booby Trap for english ears.
I’ll keep posting!
Cool.
In my case when I was small, my father spoke Dutch a lot of the time, and although I don’t recall ever discussing such things, it was obvious without even thinking that De Roltrap is Dutch for escalator.
Are you interested in collaborators? can we send you escalator footage from our own parts of the world? If so, do you have a preferred size/format/whatever?
Sounds like another great Semanal Game to me
Seems great to me. I’m already working on some collaboration with Milt. He want to do an interview with me in the same way he did this with Ryanne and Jay and others. We figured out the best way is to make footage with the questions and add footage with answers and mix the two. So… if you have any escalator footage… that would be great.
Another idea I have is to collect footage of people who tell something about their passions while standing on an escaltor. (The Elevator pitch principle). So lets take a look at what we can do together! It would surely add another dimension to our semanal stuff!
Movs will do best! send them to huubkoch@gmail.com
Yep, pretty crazy. Huub, I’ve been meaning to tell you. I really like the word Roltrap – what a perfect word – it describes exactly what an escalator does, and yet it’s dutch – yes?
Anyway, I wish you would go to Washington DC. The escalators there are amazing. I’m thinking specifically of the escalator coming up to Dupont Circle. It’s sooooooo long. In fact, it’s a bit scary because if you look down, or even look too far up, you start to feel dizzy. I haven’t forgotten about the interview – just busy with a bunch of others. soon.
Yes we have that sort of Escalators in Rotterdam too. Its in Episode 9, one the last scene before the starts of the next episode teaser. When I was a kid a lot of my friends did not even dare to use it. And then we were supposed to take a bicycle with us to take the tunnel that goes underneath the river.
Ce projet Roltrap : magnifique !!

I have been trying to see. See colors, shapes and lines. See accidental art and intentional design.
I did take a design class a few year ago. I think I failed it. But I keep plugging along and bit by bit I see more than you think is there.
here is week 10’s combo of dance and basketball: pure pataphysics.

the eiffel tower made my hands sweat. i’m not good with heights, esp open air heights. yikes! but it was definitely worth it.
It really is high. I have a lot of trouble with heights too. But it’s great to see it.

Here’s FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein talking about Net Neutrality. He discusses the need to think about how we ensure open broadband network, especially in light of the recent network management that Comcast has been doing. It would be crazy to allow corporations to decide how our most important communication system is to be used, when they are by nature only concerned about short term gain for a small group of people.
(by the way, I’m loving the videos this week. hard to beat last week’s videos.)

I really enjoyed hearing the philosophy expressed by danceanywhere’s channel. I’m always interested in different types of art and the energy and joy that can be derived from experimenting with some of its boundaries.

Hey this is a video of an international peace project that my wife, Jamie and I do. It’s called – THE BEAD PEOPLE and it’s been traveling all over. So far there are bead people in the USA, Germany, Canada, France, Poland, and they are headed to Nicaragua. Hope you like these little guys. If you want to find out more – go to The Bead People
Lovely project Milt!
Thanks Huub, it’s really so much fun, we just can’t help ourselves. BTW – if you would like to read more about the bead people, and the educational concepts that we are working on – you may wish to go to Jamie’s blog

It was a fairly active vlogging week.
I thought I’d showcase a Hawk eating breakfast vlog. But if you don’t feel like watching nature in action, perhaps one of these other vlogs from week 10 of Semanal would be to your liking.

Happy birthday to me!
Yes today is my birthday, Im 32 today.. WOW I certainly dont feel 32? I suppose thats a good thing though. With it being my birthday I had a few things to get done. I needed to get my drivers license renewed, had to do some stuff at the town hall, and we were getting low on fruits!
With the travels I decided to be BAD and pick up some stuff for lunch. I grabbed a small pack of hot dogs and a Mt. Dew. OH it was good. And for those who arent from New England you may not realize that Hot Dogs are SUPPOSED to be RED! Yes real hot dogs are red.
Well my birthday lunch is done, so I guess its time to get back on track and loose this weight and get back under 200Lbs! Im thinking I should exercise this afternoon before I pick up the boys.. Perhaps chopping ice?

At Least Someone’s Taking Off
Last Thursday, I was supposed to be on a flight to Houston for work. When I got to the airport I saw an email on my Blackberry that said “Don’t go. Please confirm receipt.” The dilemma then was that I couldn’t go home due to traffic and HOV restrictions so I had to find something to do.

From: http://www.makevideo.org.uk/2008/03/13/semanal-week-10-pruning-our-cherry-tree/
I had no time to get out and film anything this past week, so this Semanal piece is another edit of some old footage from 2006.
When I bought my house about 15 years ago, it came with a cherry tree about as tall as my shoulder. Over the years it has grown, and now gives us a lovely crop of juicy red cherries every spring. By August 2006, though it was a bit wild and overgrown, so we hired two men to come and prune it back for us.
This video was partly filmed by me and partly by my daughter Elizabeth.
