I met Caroline at a party and shared my dreams of a light saber vs umbrella all girl dance fight that was derailed by the deaths of Debi Reynolds and Carrie Fisher, a few days before. She listened somewhat amazed by the creature before her and asked the inevitable question, this device of which you …
Blog
This is the glorious, from my brain to the electronics to you, un-ordered thoughts as it comes from my brain to yours. As I go along, I will share thoughts as they pop from brain onto this page. Some of it relevant to the matter at hand, some of it background to the bumps in the road.
As I go along, I’ll organize the posts into a rational order, I am not feeling now.
August is here
So in all the excitement, I’ve been somewhat slow about updating this site and getting it moving in the right direction. I’m down to my last three weeks at Safehouse for the Arts and like you, my gentle reader, I am beginning to wonder, where are the videos? The idea behind this artist residency is …
Man on Mansplaining
Today I had one of those traumatic flashbacks from the bad old traditional days of the San Diego Comic Book Convention today known only as Comic-con. Star Wars was out and after explaining the intricacies about the making of a movie I had not scene, I inadvertently outed myself as a comic book geek to …
A short demo reel
This is a short demo I put together from the my last performance with LEVYdance and some performance footage. It’s about a minute and shows some of the capabilities of the device. The main thing for the non-videographer to watch is the stability of the shot and the level changes. For the professional videographer, the …

The Device by any other Name
Given the web-site is called Flow-cam.com it would make sense to call the device Flow-cam too – no? Probably not. the first and foremost problem is there is a registered trademark device called Flowcam that looks at Algae of things. And no, I’m not posting images of the device so you can see the difference. …
Martial Arts in the Park
I’ve been running a martial arts class under the Jeet Kune Do banner for about eight years now. The class is free, but you do need to sign up for it through meetup.com. I’m mostly friendly. It’s geared more towards the curiosity seekers than the hardened veterans of MMA, though I do get those too. …
The Device Workshop Now Though August 21
I’m conducting a weekly series of workshops for dancers and videographers in the use of my device. The day and times are Monday, Noon to Three PM. This is held at Safehouse for the Arts. The purpose of the workshop is to develop best practices for the use and training of the device and developing …
Safehouse for the Arts
Safehouse for the arts is a non-profit performance and rehearsal space founded by Joe Landini that is currently moving to a new location and a new collective model. I’m better known there as an occasional videographer, and man about town. The great thing about about Safehouse is the supportive nature and as long as you …
