New Steelhead Alley Short

Well, as promised, I was able to deliver my very best at the Indiana on the Fly Show held in Indianapolis this past weekend. Now, I understand that might not be saying much, but it was the best I had to give in a very short period of time.

The presentation went very well and was packed out with people attending the conference. I started it out with the new Steelhead short and followed it up with a powerpoint presentation to impress and teach.

Based upon the feedback, it was received very well! I am my own worst critic, but my wife said it was good....and believe me fellows/gals, she doesn't pull punches with me. So, I rest assured that the video came off well and accomplished it's simple point of highlighting our fishery and the excitement that it brings to peoples lives!

For those of you who weren't in attendance, you can watch it below. Oh, and my partner Greg dares you to only watch it once : ) I think he has now watched it like 73 times.....honestly!

At any rate, here it is....I hope you enjoy it at much as I did making it.

Now if I can just get back to the computer to pic

k up where I left off.....hopefully sooner than later. Until then, stay warm and get out and shoot some winter scenes.

Getting Back to the Mac

Finally, I have had some time to play through some of my footage from the fall season. I only wish I had more time to do so.

In less than a week, I will be making a presentation to those willing to listen down at the Indiana On the Fly show in Indianapolis. As a part of this presentation, I wanted to throw a short high energy video of Steelhead in to get things started right. I just finished the piece....nothing special, but is short and sweet.....of course, I am the videographer, editor, etc, etc, etc, so what else would I say about it.

No really, I am excited to be getting back to editing a bit. It feels good to mash the keys and watch the time filming on the water come together to tell a story of what we do. The other exciting thing is that the short is edited to a song written by a good friend who I don't get to hang with much. However, I have been able to hang with them at a couple of shows recently where they have debuted their newest album "The Great American Midrange." If you are a fan of classic rock.....Rolling Stones, Black Crowes, Jimi Hendrix, etc.....then check these guys out...they have played with some big names like Peter Frampton, Dave Matthews, Goo Goo Dolls, etc. Here is a video of one of their new songs entitled "Back to Indiana." It played during the Indianapolis 500 last May on ABC....good tune, but you really need to listen to their album. Their website is www.theelms.net and here is that video....

I will post my new video here after my presentation this weekend....I don't want to show it publicly before the big show down in Indy.

Well, it is about time for me to jump back in the truck to go plow the unbelievable amounts of lake effect snow that is falling. I think we have nearly 2 ft on the ground and it is still coming down hard.

Until next time,

It's Been A Busy Fall!

Well, Fall has now given way to old man winter and white can be found all around. Fishing has kept us busy which much to my chagrin has kept the video camera out of my hands on more days then I would have liked.

I did however get the chance to go out and do some more learning recently. I don't know about you, but I take any chance I can get to learn new things and expand my horizons. Recently I had the privilege of doing this with a seasoned videographer who has made quite the reputation for himself. His name is RA and he operates Beatty Outdoor Productions.

RA is a cool guy and he was quick to give pointers and help me out with what most would consider basic stuff I'm sure....but hey, I am from the school of "the only dumb question is the one you don't ask!" So, I asked and he was quick to answer. Thanks RA for your willingness to help a new guy....it was much appreciated!

Not only did I get questions answered, but I also got to watch him film which is always a learning experience because everyone has their own way of doing things.

We did get some steelhead action on film this year, and I hope to edit some down this winter. With any luck I will find the time and put together something to enjoy.

Another project we worked on for a couple of days was filming with the guys from the Orvis Company....their product development guys were down for the weekend and we tried to roll film for a couple of days and got some good footage.

Needless to say, we have some work to do as time allows.

Have a Merry Christmas and a great New Year's!
