Chicago - Architecture

iPhone woes

I was not having fun at the AT&T store.

I had just received my new iPhone and it was broken - DOA. The sales people told me I had to return it to Apple to get service...what? Huh? You just gave me the phone. If you want the full sob story, send me a note.
PS Where did my chin go?

Just a little video I made with some of the footage I made while in LA recently. Everything including the green screen stuff was shot with my Canon S3-IS digital still camera.

The Turkey Song

A little video I did for "The Turkey Song", written and performed by William P. Hitri of pop poppins fame. Believe it or not I found the turkey at Fry's. I did the lip sync to Bill's song. I used After Effects to lock the lip sync performance to the turkey. I also...
