eVolution of Entertainment

The development of online entertainment continues to flourish. How it settles as part of our everyday life remains to be seen. I think this will evolve for some time to come. In the past 15+ years the revolution of the internet itself has completely changed the way we carry out our everyday lives. While our entertainment is well on it’s way to changing along these lines there is still a long way to go. One thing is for sure, the television networks are going to need to define an online strategy and do it early to keep their market share of audiences. Keep an eye on the .TV eVolution.

Mike Rowe on Dirty Jobs, War on Work and Safety 3rd

Mike Rowe is by far my favourite presenter on TV to date. The way he gets into his work on the Discovery Channel with Dirty Jobs captivates me with every episode. It’s the most simple of concepts of presenter being followed by 3 camera men and they film Mike doing a “Dirty” job for a day. It’s simple but works very well. Now this is not the most high quality of content but in my eyes it’s 50% content and 50% the endearment for the presenter, which on the Dirty Jobs show seems to work perfectly.

Apart from being a great presenter he is also a great speaker on stage as shown in the video below at a TED conference. Mike claims we have declared WAR on work as a society. He discusses his own misconceptions of work he discovered working on Dirty Jobs and that the people who do Dirty Jobs are happier. I do have to disagree with his opinion on NOT following your passion. I couldn’t be happy in a job if I wasn’t passionate about the work and the achievements within, dirty or clean. Check out the video for yourself and make up your own mind.

A Lego Christmas

I thought I might wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with a short but fun little animation. Shot with the Nikon D90 using stop motion and masked video. Enjoy :0)

It’s been a big year, Merry Xmas and looking forward to a big 2010.

Sunrise Time Lapse at Dicky Beach (Nikon D90)

Sunrise Time Lapse (Nikon D90) from Bruce Levick on Vimeo.

This sunrise at Dicky Beach Ship Wreck in Caloundra, Qld, Australia was taken with a Nikon D90. One photo every 7 seconds. I think the next one I will make it a shorter time frame between photos. That would make for a smoother looking motion. I have a few more time lapse videos I am putting together, so keep an eye out for them. :0)

Motivational Video

If you’re struggling for a bit of motivation or recently experienced a failure, then this video will surely get you back on your feet. Just goes to show, even the best fail before they succeed. If you’ve never failed, you’ve never lived. Life = Risk.
