A couple friends have asked me over the last week or so to see the entire office. I have really only shown my desk, because it is my desk. Here is a couple pictures and a video of the room in whole. There is still some clutter that I need to clean up. I seem to accumulate a lot of stuff, and wish I could use the entire room. I will get rid of the boxes in the second station and my be the treadmill.

So I got 3D glasses in the mail and kind like them. Needless to say I got carried away. Although I couldn’t where these glasses for an entire movie, they would kill my eye sight.
I decided today I needed to find out the shape of The Cabin. So I took off by myself to the hidden cover on the shore of Great Slave Lake about 15km south of Yellowknife. It was peaceful and quiet. I got some stuff done around camp. Like actually digging out the front door, which was covered in snow. I broke a new trail to the cabin from the lake in by foot so when I go out again the snow will be hard packed enough for my snowmobile to drive over it. Much easier than trying to drive through a narrow path in 3ft of power snow.
There definitely was lots of power snow. While looking for the new path in I ended up getting stuck. Stuck good. The sled was completely cover in snow. A took a moment and caught my breath and slowly and comely dug it out and was able to carefully drive it out without getting stuck… again. Lesson learned, always drive faster.
Here is a quick video I shot while out there. Do you have a special get away you go to for peace and quiet?
Earlier today my brother came flying down the stairs to ask if I would take him to the hardware store. I reluctantly said yes and off we went. Once there we started discussing how we would make this device. We spent a good half hour in the store trying different things and seeing what might work best. When all was said and done we have what we needed all for under $7.
Here is what we got:
We attached the 2 “L” shaped mounts together with the 2 smaller bolts to make what looks like a “C” or “[” shaped mounting device. Attaching a video camera was easy once we drilled out the hole to 1/4″. We then screwed the wing nut on the 2″ bolt backward. Once we did that we then put the bolt through the “C” mount and screwed it into the tripod hole in the bottom of the video camera. When the bolt was in as far as it could go, we tightened up the wing-nut to the bottom of the mount securing the camera to the mount. To get rid of the sharp edges and to make the device a little more appealing we covered it in electrical tape. Before we covered the handle we wrapped it in cotton and then loosely covered it with tape.
What the video of the process of making the Camera Handle Mounting Device:

I received my podcasting equipment yesterday from Cliff Ravenscraft the Podcast Answer Man. I decided to film the unboxing once again.
Hopefully I will have a video of the studio setup some time soon.
I received my new handheld camera this even. It is the Kodak Zi8 and is their answer to the Flip Mino, which I currently have. I will use both but there are several reasons I wanted the Zi8.
The video I recorded of the new camera, from the Flip, is as followed:
