I know I’ve been mostly absent from this blog for the past little while. This has been a pretty up-and-down year. I was promoted to Art Director at my 9-to-5 earlier, but I’ve also seen my memoir, RAISED BY A DEAD MAN, struggle to find a publisher. I’ll probably write about that frustrating journey at some point, but not quite yet. Suffice it to say, hope is not completely lost, but it’s been rough. More later.
Meanwhile, I thought it might be fun to show off a little of what we’ve been up to at my place of work–the non-profit AIMS Education Foundation. One of my mandates this year was to increase our video production values. This little demo reel shows off both behind-the-scenes clips and some finished shots, along with some of construction we’ve done on the (still not quite yet finished) sets. This is 6 months worth of work in under 5 minutes. We’ve come a long way from not quite knowing which way to point the camera.

That video is awesome! Erin is amazing in the video clips. And the set looks great. I think your hard work here really really shows.

Thanks so much, Karen! We know we have a long ways to go, but we’re pretty proud of the work we’ve done so far.

You have a very cool day job! I’m fascinated by video production and using it as a tool to explain things and tell a story. And being a hands on learner myself, I probably would have benefited from your non-profit when I was in school. On the other front, I know we all have our own paths to walk, but I found this blog post encouraging http://motherhoodandwords.com/2012/10/when-the-waiting-pays-off/
