During SXSW I recorded a number of interviews and I record a number of vlogs where I talk to the camera. This is one of those vlogs, where I talk about my feelings about approaching people for interviews.

SXSW Interactive vs. Film
Thu March 13th, 2008 at 10:53 amBlogging, Filmmaking
As you know I recently went to the SXSW Film Festival. Being the geek that I am I also joined Twitter and went to a number of panel in the Interactive portion of the conference.
For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about let me quickly explain. SXSW is really three conferences in [...]

Last night I got a Canon HV20, which is a really nice, very small HD camcorder. So I had to record something, here’s a 5 minute ramble about SXSW’s photo/video policy and the new camera and how my wife is awesome. Not in that order.

No Photography At SXSW Panels
Wed March 5th, 2008 at 5:36 pmBlogging, Filmmaking
So I found out today that you can’t shoot even still pictures during film panels and video is a no-no. This is different from SXSW Interactive’s photo policy.
Ron,
In order to shoot photos during film panels, you must be credentialed through a media outlet (but that deadline has passed). You would not [...]

WARNING: A very stream of conscientiousness post ahead.
Just two days till SXSW and I’m already suffering from information overload.
I’m a geek, OK. I program for a living. I have multiple websites. I blog. I surf the internet way too much.
But I’m not a big social geek. Wow, that doesn’t even seem to make sense. [...]
SXSW -3 Days

Just a few more days till I’m off to Austin for the South By Southwest Film Festival. I’ve got mixed feelings about it. In one way I’m excited, in another I’m already feeling disappointed. And lonely.
Here’s a long shot. I wish I had some other people to share the experience with. So if anyone [...]
Beauty and Brains Shoot
Sun February 24th, 2008 at 1:29 pmFilmmaking
Saturday we did the first shoot for Beauty and Brains. I was pretty intimidated beforehand.
On Monday I had 7 models who’d said yes. On Friday I had 3.
I went to pick up the gear and it was really cool. Very professional, and way beyond me. Intimidated again.
While picking up the gear I did [...]
