Madame Tussauds Hollywood

Parked beneath Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Dave and I joked about the frenzy of tourists that we were about to join above us. We walked up the stairs and entered a plaza with Madame Tussauds on one side and the Kodak Theatre on the other. With so much going on around us it felt a bit intimidating at first, but the reality and excitement quickly set in. We had made it to Hollywood.

After exploring the boulevard, we made our way back to Tussauds to close out our afternoon. Having seen my share of wax museums in the past, Tussauds, and particularly this one in Hollywood, was top-notch. There's something satisfying about losing yourself in the stereotype of the entertainment capital. Should you ever find yourself there and feel like paying the steep admission, you're sure to fill your camera with campy, memorable pictures just like we did.

For more, check out some of the old footage I shot of Hollywood Blvd. in 2004 and my complete photo set from 2010. 

Singapore Recap

After several months have passed, I always like to review my edits to see how I feel about them. I start to think about how I would've edited them differently or if there's another video that I could make with the footage, etc. The process also gives me a chance to appreciate the edits as a viewer, because my head isn't quite so wrapped up in how I assembled them.

My Singapore edits were an undeniably memorable side project from this year and I still get a kick out of watching them. So, with everything about the experience now in context I thought it would be fun to recap the posts from Singapore 2010. Simply click any of the banners to watch the videos, read about the locations, and share in what was one of my major highlights from earlier this year.

Clumsy Claus Stills

After reviewing a few of my past Christmas projects, I thought it would be cool to share a few of the stills from Clumsy Claus (2001). I can still remember sharing this project with friends and family almost a decade ago, and also remember how I was just getting into stop motion animation over the course of that year. I haven't really followed up with many more animations since (outside of film school anyway) but revisiting things like this makes me think about giving it another shot.
