The Hunter Project

I'm finally getting my hands dirty with some video work again! It's pretty fun to get back into the swing of things with some of my faithful working buddies.

This project in particular was actually commissioned by my family. We're interviewing the last living children of my great grandfather and great grandmother who just happen to be my grandmother and great aunt. If any of you know anything about my family and I, I'm sure you know how special our Hunter heritage is to us, and that's why it's so exciting to be working on this project in particular.

So, heads up everybody! Be looking for the final documentary sometime in the next two months. I'll let you know how it's progressing from time to time.

The Photo Shoot Extravaganza!

UPDATE: This event has been rescheduled to occur on April 7th. See here for more information: http://www.wmiii.co/2013/04/photo-shoot-extravaganza-update.html

I can't wait! This is going to be such a fun event! As it says on the flyer, we'll meet at the Noble Coffee & Tea Company on the Noblesville Square. We may pick up some balloons and carry them around with us all day so we'll be easy to find. 

To register for your own time slot, please email me at wm.smith.3@gmaildotcom (gmail.com) with Promo Shoot in the subject. If you have any particulars for your session, be sure to let me know in your email. Otherwise, we will work as usual and shoot to our hearts content.

We only have enough time in this 5 hour window to book up to 12 sessions at the most, so don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. March 10th will come upon us before you know it.

If you've never met MJ (highly unlikely) or seen his work visit www.mjphotogfgg.blogspot.com to get an idea of his awesomeness. We work together on a lot of Ripplewave projects too, so if you've seen one of us in person, it's highly likely that you've seen the other.

Hope to see you there!

Fun With Ambigrams II - Liberty & Justice

After the fun I had with the "yeah" ambigram, I thought I'd give it another go. This time, I wanted to try two different words instead of just one. So instead of one ambigram saying yeah, it's one ambigram saying "liberty" one way and "justice" the other. Because of the nature of the ambigram, I wanted to pick two words which can seem opposed to each other sometimes, but really need each other to survive. I guess you could say it is anti-dualism. 

(It took quite a bit more sketching this time than the last)

 (I finally started making some progress here)

Filmonaut XI

Something odd happened to one of these rolls... the coloring has turned either entirely blue or has blue streaks across them. I'm thinking the developer is probably expired. Another roll looks a little fuzzy from sitting on the shelf a little too long before being scanned. So they all look rather fun this time through. Enjoy!
