An interesting video short about Redding artist Eric Podtetenieff. Seeing it, locals will recognize some of his work from around town. Nice job on the video production, by Tyler Faires.
Art video, it’s Really Redding.

Very well done. Kudos to all involved. Eat local. It’s Really Redding.
An abstract music video with score by Craig Padilla and me.
An appropriately hypnotic video by visual artist Zrnho set the music Craig Padilla and I recorded in 2010 using analog synthesizers.
Set the controls for full screen and full volume, and get ready to space out…
Nice to see this indigenous Redding music translates across the Atlantic. Pleasurable listening right down to the cerebral cortex for me, as it brings back fond creative memories. Thanks Zrnho. Your work is inspiring. Check out many more clips at his prolific online video channel. Gotta love the interweb.
Should mention too that you can buy this CD directly from Craig, and get a better fidelity recording along with the cool cover art. CraigPadilla.com
The Water
A little Norwegian time lapse, set to Moonlight Sonata. Perfect before bedtime.

You may have seen it, but I had to share it here. It’s beautiful.

The Ski Park looks pretty nice today, although there is no night skiing tonight. Had to post this webcam snap to make up for the drier one I posted earlier in the year. This looks like good Spring skiing.

And here’s a recent terrain park video from earlier in February:
Pleasant winter days in Redding, and this awesome Ski Park is just about an hour away. That’s Really Redding.
Video of a quick motorcycle ride up Buckhorn
Ran across this interesting video the other day. Highway 299 is the road from Redding to the coast. The Buckhorn Summit is characterized by some tight corners along the mountainside. This rider strapped a video camera to his bike, and went for a fast ride.
For years, I drove this road weekly. Going back to when there were one-lane bridges in Trinity County on 299. The road is much better now, but Buckhorn can be a challenge. Before you try a fast ride, just be aware that the road is particularly unforgiving. Misjudged corners can easily become fatal errors. Not only that, but you never know who, or what, you’ll find in your lane as you go round. You feel lucky?
Stunning time lapse of Yosemite
Just about anything having to do with Yosemite is stunning. This qualifies. Good time lapse photography is harder than it looks, making this effort all the more admirable. Best viewed full screen.

Lovely work, and I can imagine how much work it really was. Although nothing compares to Yosemite in grandeur, I would put our local Trinity Alps near Redding on a level similar. The granite, the sky, the solitude. Some time lapse imagery of Morris Meadow and Emerald Lake would be excellent.
A Short Film About Ice Fishing
You could use a chuckle today. Sometimes even a simple fishing trip can end unexpectedly.

Our thanks to film maker Jason Shahinfar for lightening the day. Excellent work.
Oh, the places you’ll go, when you go to the Black Rock Desert
This is epic. You may have already seen it, but I just have to curate it here. Nicely done.
The Black Rock Desert playa is almost directly east of Redding. Scroll west and you wind up in Lake Shasta.

A Christmas Party for kids put on by the local REALTORS
Here’s a video I did of this year’s Christmas Party for special needs kids put on by the Shasta Association of Realtors along with the support of the community and local businesses. We hold it at the Elks Club in Redding. 2011 marks the 39th annual party. As usual, a great time was had by all. Watching the video is a nice way to get some holiday cheer today. Our great thanks go out everyone involved. Merry Christmas!
