An Art Treat

Awesome art installations by Robert Bengtson at Burning Man in 2008 and in 2009.

I so love what he does.  His installations involve the people who come through them in ways that will warm your heart.

Also heartwarming are the accolades he has gotten.

He’s looking for help with FLIGHT, the project for this year, coming up in late August. Go to his site and click on “Art Installations.” On that page, click on “The Art of Detail” for a slide show of his very special, wonderful photography.

Filmmakers: MUST-ATTEND WEBINAR 6/29

I am floored at how good this is. What has cost anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars in classes and private consulting services with Marc Rosenbush, my film distribution mentor, is now available for chump change in his LIVE ONLINE WEBINARS. If you’re going to go the DIY route to distribute your movie, or want to determine whether that route is for you, Marc is the go to person.

You’ll understand what Marc is up to if you listen to him explain it:

(He doesn’t say this, but you can keep the sessions to refer back to, which would have been a boon to me.  Also, if you miss a live version you’ll won’t get the interactive aspect, but you can buy the recorded one afterwards.) This is the first one. I personally guarantee double your money back if you enroll and don’t find it to be super valuable:

See the ball stop. Stop, ball, stop.

In the movie, we talk about balls of light that are seen skimming across fields. Sometimes, right afterwards, those fields turn up with circles. What are the balls? Are they scouting the fields? Or what?

We have footage in the film of one of them. What’s not in the film is footage of another one, shot by Kerry McKenna, the singer in my movie (her website says “Artist::Musician::Visionary” — I’ll vouch for that!). The footage isn’t as clear as it would have needed to be to have been used in the movie, but you get it after the explanation Kerry gave me.

First, Kerry sees the ball in her viewfinder, moving along. You’ll hear her commenting. Then, it stops. She changes to a longer shot, where you see that people who don’t see the ball have passed where it would have intersected with them. After that, it resumes moving along.

Soooooo, the ball is under intelligent control. It knows to stop to let the people pass. A giant WOW!!! Have a look:
