No matter what you call it, everybody loves a parade.
Here are some highlights from the 2011 Parade of Lights that traveled through downtown Tulsa this evening. The zany snowman sponsored by Fab Lab Tulsa stole the show with its snappy soundtrack and authentically smoking corn cob pipe.
And a couple more photos….
I snapped these with my Pole Saw Picture Taker using a Sony A33 with an infrared remote. Worked great until the camera battery died. D’oh!
Winding Road recently published a blurb about the most influential cars in movies. Not “car movies” mind you, but cars in a movie. I clicked the link expecting to see iconic automobiles, which I did.
Along with a couple of head-scratchers. A BMW 5-series from Ronin?
But most noticeable was what the list was lacking.
No mention of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang or Herbie the Love Bug? I’d dare say the Model T from Grapes of Wrath should muster an honorable mention.
In all fairness, they did hit the mark on Vanishing Point and the Mustang from Bullitt. Have a look and see what you think of their list of the Ten Greatest Movie Cars.
I was in need of more storage for my video files and shopped around for a new external hard drive. My current drive was a 500 gig Smart Drive that had been very reliable. I was planning on buying another one when I came across a great deal on the Western Digital My Passport Essential SE Ultra Portable.
This is a tiny unit that uses a 2.5″ laptop hard drive.
I’ve been using it now for about a month and have not had one hiccup. Transfer rates are excellent and it has a whole terrabyte of room for me to fill up with raw video footage of silly things.
And isn’t that what life’s all about?
I’m happy to report Oklahoma’s only motorcycle-related-documentary-style-television-travel show will return to viewers’ living rooms tomorrow evening. Two Wheel Oklahoma will be broadcast on Cox Cable three times a week beginning August 31st at 8:30 p.m.
Here’s a handsome poster to help you remember- or share it with friends and colleagues!
In case you’re not familiar I’ve included a link to our demo reel below.

Maybe you already do!
MP4 has become a popular format. In fact- that’s what powers most of the videos you see on You Tube. Many cameras shoot MP4 native, and more editors are capable of working with it. But the best part is it looks great and makes small files!
If you’ve been asked to provide files in this format and thought you could – check this screenshot out:
If you have a video on You Tube, then you can easily download a copy of your clip in MP4 format. No matter what you may have uploaded originally- You Tube converts everything to MP4!
Just log into your account and click the link to your videos (upper right-hand corner). Now expand the arrow beside Insight and you should see a “Download MP4” link. Click it and forget it!
