This week’s episode of the Art of Life explores the world of drones, in particular the Lily Camera Drone, which is a personal drone. The uses of drones are many and will continue to grow as well as the implications and issues around matters like privacy, criminality and airspace. The Lily Camera Drone, which is in pre-order phase, won’t necessarily fall within that, at this stage, and looks quite cool. [youtube]https://youtu.be/T93zNkj8MFM[/youtube]
Second episode in the reincarnation of Art of Life, a web series that I do with Steve Slotow. This one is on the documentary about Kurt Cobain - Montage of Heck. Cobain is one of those artists who, even if you weren't into the music he created, you still kind of knew of him. He's also part of what some have labelled "The 27 Club" - musicians like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and, more recently, Amy Winehouse, who all died at the age of 27. I have yet to see the documentary but it is high up on my list, especially after hearing Steve talk about it and watching the trailer. Somehow, Steve even...
About two and a half years ago, two guys, who often bumped into each other at tech and other press events, decided to create a web series/vlog, which they called The Art of Life. They called in two friends to shoot the web series (for free) and proceeded to slowly churn out episodes - every couple of weeks/months. One of the guys is Steve Slotow. The other is yours truly. Our trusted crew consists of Quinton and Heine. We eventually shot and posted about 14 episodes, the last of which went up over a year ago. We are back with an approach that will continue to ebb and flow in response to our...
I haven't shared the Art of Life episodes lately - well, in reality, I haven't really shared anything lately. The end of the year is always the most intense from a work perspective and with all the writing and running around I've been doing have left very little room for blogging. I've stopped beating myself up about it. This is something I will continue to do and build on - sometimes, consistently, other times not. It is what it is. To close out the year, check out the last three episodes of the Art of Life. I continue to believe there is a growing space for web series/online programming...
The 9th episode is done. Shot, edited and finally up on our YouTube channel which you can check out and subscribe to HERE. We generally shoot a couple of episodes in advance and then it is the process of editing and uploading. It would be good to get feedback from those of you who interact with the series either here, on Steve's blog or on YouTube. The intention is to keep going and see where it'll take us. Maybe we'll throw a party with Episode 50, or something. Anyway, in this episode, Steve and I chat about the Sony Action Cam, which is going head to head with the Go-Pro range of cameras....
