My roommate is officially, like, Wes Anderson and Roger Deakins rolled into one. Oh and he has a blog now: hellapixels.com/blog/. Check it out.

Being good at web video…

…is important.

My roommate, Eric Camacho, is a developer at Slack Barshinger. We’ve also worked on all kindsa’ freelance stuff together that many of you know about.

He made this video of our camping trip:

And this video of him on his bike:


Biggie Strokes from guambomb on Vimeo.

He’s clearly pretty good at this stuff, and made some low-quality video look damn good online. More than just being pretty to watch, these videos illustrate a key competency that digital agencies and digital groups within agencies are going to need to have: a digital media expert. Someone who both knows how to make these types of videos, and knows what people will like to watch, and knows how to get them running online. Someone who understands that a conscientious, creative eye for the final finished product has a big impact on how things are shot and produced.

I know a lot of the bigguns have this in-house already, but many of the smaller/midsize shops don’t. Having someone like this in your shop makes it a whole heck of a lot easier to do quality web video. Just something to think about.

Camping

Jun 23, ’08 2:32 PM

This weekend I went camping in Wisconsin with my friends.

This was my breakfast. Those bagels are dipped in bacon grease, mind you.

We had a camp dinner.

We played bags.

We drank summerbrew.

I tested my new sleeping setup. It’s a Mountain Hardwear Ultralamina +32°, an Outside Magazine Gear of the Year winner. And a Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite. Very comfy.

We looked around.

We played with fire.

Just what I needed.
