Art Wolfe Travels To The Edge

I was on the team that just launched a new website for internationally known nature photographer Art Wolfe. The new site will support Mr. Wolfe’s new television series, Travels to the Edge and is located at http://www.travelstotheedge.com/.

We created the entire website, including design, development and unique hosting concerns related to management of such a highly trafficked site. We also created, wrote and edited all of the content, from interviews with Art Wolfe team members to the final copy edit. I acted as executive producer and art director.

For the multimedia sections of the site, we used Adobe Flash in a complex configuration to serve multiple video streams, utilizing XML.

Major sponsors for the program include Canon and Microsoft. The program is produced by Oregon Public Broadcasting and distributed by American Public Television.

Red Menace

I need one of these cameras. Or two. This is the deal; entrepreneur Jim Jannard who is famous for founding the Oakly eyewear company started Red Digital Camera Company. This is a company that seems to be doing everything right. They even nabbed red.com.

All the buzz about this camera is because it promises super-high resolution at consumer prices. No one can get their hands on one just yet, but Peter Jackson ("Lord of the Rings") shot some promotional footage with the camera and supposedly loved it.

With a 4520 X 2540 resolution, this Super 35mm is a mind-blower at 12-Megapixels.

Where the Hell is Matt?

I was on the team that just launched a website for Dancing Matt from WhereTheHellisMatt.com. He is currently on another round-the-world trip, this time seeking out others to dance with him. Check out his site where you can follow him on Google Maps.
