The past few weeks have been a treasure chest of amazing freelance video production work. Xeni at Boing Boing brought me into to shoot a few episodes of Boing Boing TV at the recent Maker Faire. Here’s some of the results.

I was also tasked with riding along in the back of kidnapper van, destination Google, to capture this collaboration between the BLF and monochrom of Vienna, Austria. This just happened to be the day of Google’s shareholder meeting and there was a bit of controversy around Google’s censorship with China. Behold the “Great Firewall!”

I was asked by my fine friends at digg to shoot this wee little project for them. It’s in response to a lip dub that Revision3 had brought. Yeah, the lip dub meme is a bit old in Internet time, but it’s a great team building exercise and shows what you can do when you get a bunch of silly people in room together. Mark Trammell masterminded and organized the thing, and most all of the digg staff participated. This was easily one of the more fun video projects I’ve done in awhile.

Perfect timing for Flickr’s launch of video. I had been grabbing lots of short clips of sea creatures, both above and below the water. Full set here. Photos here.

San Francisco’s annual Bring Your Own Big Wheel event took place yesterday in my neck of the urban woods. Here’s a quick video I shot of the action before straddling a pink Barbie Extreme Cycle for a couple heats (thanks Ali!). Scott has the usual assortment of awesome pix and links over at his blog.

It seems as though the Double L gyroscopic undead attractor was activated last night which led to countless zombies converging on the San Francisco library where a debate among mayoral candidates was taking place. One mayoral candidate didn’t make it out alive. Chicken John Rinaldi was captured and turned into a zombie as this footage indicates. Best to stay away from the west coast of the US at all costs.

Frank Chu stopped by the San Francisco Apple Store for the iPhone launch. Here’s what he had to say about the current state of events.

This is just way fucked up. At the May Day immigrant rally in Los Angeles, the LAPD completely went overboard using batons and rubber bullets on peaceful protesters. This video put together by GameJew captures the rawness and realness of the situation in away that mainstream media generally can’t.

This is the button to turn off the Internet, and genius thinking, there’s a Google ad under it.
