This weekend we rented a beautiful cabin on the coast of Oregon. Andy, Zach, Mellisa, Aiden and I.
I wanted to try to film on my Canon 7D without a lens attached. So I tried. With one hand I held the lens and tried to adjust the focus with my finger. In the other hand I held the camera.
It was hard to get a solid, focused image, but it created a beautiful, washed out kind of look.
During Aiden’s nap on saturday I took the iPhone and guitar into the bedroom to create a moody song for the video. I used the iPhone microphone to record the guitar parts, added an organ drone, violá!
Hope you dig it. Now, with DSLRs and iPhones we can all pretend we live in Tumblr every day!

Here’s some quick thoughts on why I think this keyboard/iPad combo will be important for me: read more →
Takes a while to get into, but I think it’s good. Right?
Upular (Pixar Remix) from Nick Bertke on Vimeo. I’d embed it but he doesn’t allow it.
Watching this, these excellent scenes, the rich colors, the closing of the book on the words things I’m going to do, the brazilian beats, the sense we all have everything we need in the sun and the soil and each other, and then the break in the beat where Doug says hey, get off his roooof… It’s all so wonderful!
