My Zombie Video Commercial

In the spirit of Halloween, I wanted to post this zombie-themed video commercial for the Gopher Express convenience store. I did much of the writing, directing, and editing for the video with a lot of help from some very talented people. I was definitely making a deliberate nod at director Edgar Wright's work on Shaun of the Dead. I think it shows.

My zombie vide is titled, "Luuuuuuuunch." Watch it now!

I was extremely honored when this video won a Communicators Forum Maroon Award in the "electronic media, video" category in 2008. The video was also submitted this year to the Zombie Short Film Festival in Toronto. With some luck, my co-creators and I will be able to add a "double award-winning film" to our resumes.

[Fingers crossed.]

The isometric "3D" cube shown in the demo is created using HTML and CSS transforms available in Firefox 3.5, Safari, and Chrome. Users of these browsers should also see some video on one of the faces of the cube thanks to the new HTML5 <video> tag.

A detailed blog post about the isocube was published on hacks.mozilla.org as part of their Upgrade the Web in 35 Days series.

Video: Frigid Vacuum of Space (aka Minnesota)

On Thursday the air temperature in Minneapolis, MN was -20°F, or really damn cold °C for our European friends. Random fact: -40°F converts to -40°C. Would I lie to you?

My friend Colin sent me a message saying that he was going to try throwing a cup of hot water into the air to make snow. I was skeptical until he said his experiment was a success, at which point I rushed downstairs with a mug of near boiling water. The results were so entertaining that I went back inside for cameras and other water tossing volunteers crazy enough to go outside in this weather. Embedded video evidence after the bump.
