My video for the North Toronto Cat Rescue

Here is a video I just finished up for the North Toronto Cat Rescue. At the shelter their are some wonderful folks who generously donate their time to help animals. The North Toronto Cat Rescue is a no-kill, no-cage shelter, started by Donna Cox. Hear her amazing story of how she started the shelter after finding a group of abandonded cats, and nursing them back to health. Please support them as the shelter survives solely on donations.

Thank you to Moby for the use of his song “Blue Paper” in this video.

Filming postponed for today

I was going to go take some “B” roll footage today of a painter friend who is doing a mural outdoors, for a short video I’m making about his work. But, the temperature here has headed south the last couple of days and it’s too cold to paint. So, we’ll do it next week if the temperature cooperates! It’s below freezing again, after being warm enough that a lot of the snow has melted the last few days.

Friday night it was very windy here. I took a look outside in the middle of the night, and the clouds were racing incredibly fast past the full moon. It was very dramatic and a bit eerie. One of those times I wished I had a camera handy…! It was a perfect scene for a werewolf, or a flock of vampires, to make an appearance.

John Oswald OCAD Talk Oct. 2010 – part 4/5

He’s a pioneer of sampling and the audio cut-up with Plunderphonics, most famously with the Michael Jackson reworking of Bad – “Dab”, Negativland, U2, William S. Burroughs, etc.

I caught his talk in Toronto in October 2010, at the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD).

Sorry for the bad audio, as it was noisy in there and he was not lav’d.

Full Moon+Lunar eclipse+Solstice! Videos!

Tonight is a big night…there is a full moon, a total lunar eclipse and the marking of the Winter Solstice. Could there be other significant cosmic alignments? Most probably. This is a very interesting time to be alive to witness, so let’s make it a time of love, compassion and kindness!

Eclipse starts to happen (partial) at 1:33 Eastern Standard Time
Total eclipse coverage of moon starts at 2:41 until 3:53 a.m. EST
Eclipse ends at 5:01 EST.

[edit] Here is the video I made of it!
