Happy New Year everyone!
Jesse Holmes blogs about my approach to YouTube
April 27th, 2009
Another catch-up post. We had another ROM / OSC / AGO shin-dig. We (AGO) hosted this time. Jesse Holmes wrote a comprehensive post about the session where he described my “talking web page” approach to YouTube videos:
“On top of making the page content more accessible and interesting, I’m also really impressed by the thinking that has gone into the formatting of these spots. They’re essentially short, sweet vlog posts, comprised of a single shot, that introduce a character that you may encounter when you visit. Talk about leveraging some of your best assets.”
Thanks man! Here’s a recent one:

Call For Participation ~ Suspension Performance
July 31st, 2007
Seeking performers, videographers and photographers for street-level performances to be staged late-summer 2007 in downtown Toronto.
During morning rush hour in the financial district, supported by ropes around their midsections, performers will lean at odd angles into pedestrian traffic. Crowds will form to observe, photograph and wonder. After five minutes the ropes will be released and the performers will fall to the ground, collect themselves and disappear into the bustle.
A minimum of four performance/documentation teams are needed for this happening. This follows a successful single-team Suspension performance in November 2006.
