Fire Season Creeps In Earlier

Going out to my car this morning I see whites bits of ash on my windshield. Even with my coronavirus mask on I can smell the fires surrounding the Bay Area. This sadly has become the new normal in California. I know the story of wild fires too well having documented the aftermath of the 2018 Camp Fire, the deadliest wild fire in modern U.S. history. We plan to release the short 360 virtual reality documentary titled Silence in Paradise on the two year anniversary of the fire on 11.8.20.

The Irishman Criterion

Criterion’s The Irishman Bluray (out 11.24.00), probably my favorite film of 2019, contains a new 4K digital master, approved by director Martin Scorsese, with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack. It comes out 4 days after my birthday. Currently, I have a DVD screener from Netflix but the Bluray cover art looks so much nicer. To be honest, I’m only really interested in the Bluray for the bonus features. The DVD is filled with features including a newly edited roundtable conversation with Scorsese and actors, a documentary about the making of, a program on the visual effects created for the film, and archival interview excerpts with Frank “the Irishman” Sheeran and Jimmy Hoffa. Yes, most of these things can be found on YouTube but come on look at that cover art. Maybe I should just get a poster made instead…

It’s the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and many are spending it indoors due to the stay at home orders. It has been over 40 days since the coronavirus pandemic has changed all aspects of human life. Here’s hoping you have a nice secluded hiking trail in your neighborhood and that we can get back to some semblance of normal life. Here’s a drone video I shot a couple years for the inauguration of Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin. Back when people could go outside together

360 video from the conference filmed and edited by Kevin Kunze GDC Day 2 we saw a lot of Nintendo love in terms of costumes.
