Unemployment Logs postponed this week

No Unemployment Logs this week.  This is because I wanted to show you a piece, but to illustrate it would take more time than I have this week.  So I'm just gonna postpone it.

In the meantime, check out some older episodes.

See you next week!

The Unemployment Logs: Fuel for Athletes

Ever notice how TV shows aren't even trying to hide they're product placement anymore?  It's getting annoying, really.

On that note, this week's episode features a commercial.

Side note: I forgot to disclose that we did not work with Gatorade for the commercial. It was strictly a school project. Please don't sue us!

And the relevant links are:

Product Placement

A typical NASCAR presentation (it's uploaded by a fan who cut it up and added music, but that's the basics of the camera angles they use.)

The camera we used: JVC GY-HD250

The difference between 15, 30, and 60 frames per second

The Unemployment Logs: Angel of Vengeance

The Emmys are over, but that doesn't mean we're done with award winners.  Back in 2009 I worked on a little project called Angel of Vengeance, and we won a few awards at the Art Institute of Washington's Visually Wired Film Festival.

And here's some links just for added flavor:

The Unemployment Logs: Big Wheel Texter

It's PSA time as I bring you todays episode from the road. Bear with me for a bit, as I go off on a tangent with the history of text messaging and highway safety.

Enjoy!
