The Mac, before and after

24Jul11

6:20 At the start of the Race to Mackinac I was several miles out from the shoreline, photographing competitors from the press boat. Occasionally a missive would come across the radio from the race committee. “Argo this is Breaker, we see 19 boats.” “Copy that Argo, we also see 19 boats.” Once all the starters [...]

I’m really pleased that after a ton of work the Dear Chicago series launched on WBEZ last week. The radio pieces will continue to air over the next month on 848, our morning news magazine program, and in a slot in either Morning Edition or All Things Considered.

A Radio Station in the Barbershop

21Apr10

Here is a sneak peak of the finished barbershop piece! I am pleased with it, especially given it was my first foray into video/multimedia production since college. When I was in college I considered it a flaw that my “video” pieces were more like radio pieces with still shots (and poorly executed animation…never did learn [...]

More Barbershop

09Feb10

The barbershop project continues. I’ve been back twice more now to shoot b-roll, take a lot of still shots (which I plan to “animate” and set to music) and to interview Bert.
