Where oh where have my blogs gone

Collin | June 6, 2008

Hey,

Long time no see. I know it’s been a while and I’m sorry about that. Things got somewhat out of hand. I went to work on a new website for the company and have been unable to link back to the blogs. I’m sure I’ll get it figured out sooner or later. Until then I’ll just keep posting in the sublime delusion that someone is actually reading. Ah, I just love the internet.

House Bound

Collin | April 17, 2008

This last week I was lucky enough to get to shoot an installation/performance piece called “House Bound”.

“House Bound” is an intimate kinesthetic salon of installation and performance with roving audience participation, in which five women artists investigate the tension between solo and connectivity, individual and relationship, freedom and claustrophobia.

I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect because I had not been to, or filmed, an installation performance before. I found it fascinating. The range of perspective and the contrast of the 5 artists made for a well rounded project that came together to create a nice coherence of concept. What I mean is that, all 5 artists were very different from each other, yet the show came together to form a complete picture.

All in all, great show and I wish them all the luck.

Moving Right Along

Collin | March 16, 2008

Well things are coming right along on the production of this new show. We are trying to work a deal to film a webisode at Bob’s Red Mill . I was also able to take some still photos at Limbo. It looks as though we will be shooting a pilot episode by the end of the month.

America’s Outdoor Journal

Collin | February 11, 2008

Well, I’m in the middle of editing an episode of “America’s Outdoor Journal” for the Outdoor Channel. This episode is great. They went to the Big Island of Hawaii. The host, Bitsy Kelley’s family, run the Outrigger and OHANA resorts and hotels. So, they got to stay at a great place on a beautiful island to film this show, and it shows. Great footage! Blue pheasant. Boar, and ringneck pheasant all on Parker Ranch. OH, and some killer turtle footage for me to use too. I love my job.

Tiger Food Press

Collin | February 6, 2008

Tiger Food Press I just discovered, is run by my friend Clare Carpenter. I hopped over to the site, and found some really cool posters and great crafted books. This one is my favorite. Definitely worth checking out.

Structure

Collin | February 3, 2008

Well, I have been working all day to try and flush out some structure for “monkus.net”. I think I will make “monkus.net” the portal to all of the amazing things here at Monkus Studios. There are going to be programs that need separate blogs of their own, as well as a main one for my cinematography and editing business.

I have to say, I have found Wordpress to be perfect for this. I am able to fully customize each blog to my liking. I can add features like a shopping cart for sales, to a widget that follows me through my twitter account (look to the right). I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Stepping into the Producers Pool

Collin | January 30, 2008

Here we go. I am putting my toe into the shallow end of the Producers Pool. I have had an idea for a television program for some time now. I have a couple of meetings tomorrow with some people key in making my show come to fruition. I am very excited about the prospect of creating my own half hour show. I cannot go into many details at this time but will be letting you all in on all the excitement as things progress.

After editing and shooting for national television for the last couple of years I have seen and experienced enough of the process to feel confident that I too can create an exciting, and intriguing program worthy of national broadcast. Time to get wet.
