Today is our second day of shooting for Portable Stories. We’re doing the office scenes and maybe some street level stuff if things go smoothly. I’ve also been hard at work on one of the sub-projects of PS, the Fort Street Project which will eventually find another home at the new openspace.ca website I’ll be building in the new year. I’m basically building a 3d version of the end of Fort Street that we’ll use in some special effects shots. Crazy.

In other news I signed up for a nifty Flickr Pro account so that I may be more like my friends and people I admire. My latest shot is entitled “but Drew had never seen a camera before.” and it is awesome.

There have been a few occasions in the last couple of years when the question of “where to host ___” comes up. There is a sense among those of us who have our own domains registered that to host something on your site implies ownership and that can make for awkwardness. But really, who wants to host a site on google pages or… ugh, tripod?
Jimmy Wales to the rescue. Free hosting, free bandwidth, but best of all… a decent host name and some real control over the look of your site. I’m going to load up an animations gallery and focus the page on VJ stuff for the time being. I haven’t gotten access to the ftp side of things yet (apparently the service is not yet up and running) so I can’t say whether or not it’s worth the time investment. Who knows exactly how it will all play out, but I have faith. Faith in Jimmy that is.

Register yourself and come along for the ride,

Tomorrow night T Clark has an opening at Deluge (636 Yates St) of photographic works and it promises to be quite a smashing time. Chaindlk.com has a little bit of text about it here. Smashing.

In other news, we’ve started shooting Portable Stories and I’ve started on the animations as well. The first shoot was on November 30th at the Bibli Ophelia with Russ and Erin.
