One of the last projects I had left on my plate from this summer was creating a reel for Stream Media - or Stream. It's the production company that I first started working with straight out of film school and a place that I still edit for regularly.
Stream Media just finished redesigning and upgrading their website so this project was really the last piece of the puzzle. For me it was a reminder of just how many projects I've been a part of and how our work has become even more diverse in the few short years that I've been there.
It's what I've loved about working within a small team of very creative people, I've always felt like I was directly involved in the outcome of many of the projects I was fortunate to be a part of. Working with clients like the Canadian Forces, Encana, the Medicine Hat College, the University of BC, Medalta Potteries, etc. continues to present a lot of unique challenges that ultimately improve my editing and approach.
This was a fun edit to do for a lot of reasons, but I think what I enjoyed most about it was that it's a clear signal that we're still moving forward, we're attracting bigger projects, and we're catering to more styles and venues than ever before. It's a great job.
The power went out at work this morning, so I spent the time snapping pictures while playing with the light reflecting off of the glass in my office. Turns out I'm no better than a cat fascinated by a laser pointer.
As long time fans of his show, it was a dream come true for my sister and I to see Jerry Seinfeld live in Lethbridge on Friday night. A few weeks ago we had been discussing when a good time for me to come to Lethbridge to see her new place would be, and when this idea came up it seemed like the perfect opportunity to make the trip.
Seinfeld performed at the Enmax Centre, which isn't exactly the ideal location for a comedy show. We weren't quite as close as we would've liked to be, but it didn't seem to matter as we found ourselves continually laughing out loud. The very fact that Jerry Seinfeld even came to Lethbridge made the event seem special. His commentary on everyday oddities seemed as identifiable as ever, and feeling like we were somehow connected to one of our favorite shows for even just a couple of hours had us both buzzing - or was that the drinks?
It was nice to meet up in Lethbridge for a change and see Alison and Steve's new place. My sister and I don't get a chance to hangout one on one all that often so it was also just nice to get a better idea of what things are like where she lives. All and all it was a really fun night, and I shot lots of pictures of our weekend adventure.
