This is the one thousand fortieth posting on the Ok Oh web log. This is the one hundred seventh of the current incarnation, which is designed to be a daily video experiment. It is time for the proverbial breather in order to work on other things, to simplify yet more other things and to let the coffers fill up again. Thanks for watching.

Some very recent work for Converse and Footlocker. There is an increasing reliance on "guerilla" style production in the advertising world. It has to do with higher production value being associated with lower cost technology and the ever-expanding "ease" of the digital work flow. It is an exciting time to be part of the transition, with all the digital SLRs and Red and Phantom stuff that necessitates a steady post-production hand to make sense of it all. But there are pitfalls, hiccups and some very real misconceptions about just how "easy" it has become. But when it is done right, it is very fun. The talented director Laurent Briet shot this in Milan and helped navigate all the normal bureaucratic mushiness nominaly referred to as the "advertising process" from his perch outside Paris. The energy he captured is very real and after listening to this track a thousand times I think I might have found a house-style dance track I really, honestly enjoy.

There was once an exciting blog where Kelvin Freely would weigh in on diverse topics, expound upon literary peregrinations and post up little movies culled from his wanderings about the globe filming wildlife. Unfortunately for most of us, he has given up on the rigors of web logging, but today, over tea and coffee, I caught the elusive Freely letting slip a little knowledge. Vive Le Boxshoe Rottén.

I always knew the tiresome habit of carrying around a camera would come in handy in some sort of unexpected, celebrity laden way but I never gave it too much thought. However, when it comes to that particular fruition, I have to say, it feels great. To bump into a childhood hero, let alone interview him, well, that's a rare treat.

Of all the plug and play effects I've come across lo these many years of making video, the kaleidoscope effect never fails to ensnare my interest. Perhaps a hold-over from the green and silver splotched cardboard tubes full of beads that dot the memories of my youth, or maybe simply a lingering flashback from that short burst of years so epochal for their drug-aided exploration that inflamed my later teens. Either way, no matter how hackney or fleeting, this sort of visual arrests me every time. I stumbled upon the "in-camera" version of my little iPod thing this morning on the train.

I've always liked the phrase apres le deluge.
This is Waltz Op8 No4 by Mangore. The track does not specify the guitar player, however, a little sniffing around makes me wonder if it is not John Williams
