Nick’s outtakes

I stumbled upon this on my hard drive. It is from a few years ago. Nick had a school project where he had to make a video about “how to” do something. He chose “get ready to go skiing.”

We set up a camcorder in the family room and Nick had all his ski gear and narrated choice bits of info about the equipment and such while I read him the outline, ran the camera, etc. After we gathered the footage we sat down and created/edited his movie, which we then put back on tape and sent off to school with Nick.

I deleted the actual main part of the movie for presentation here… but left the even longer collection of out takes I compiled at the end of it. To me, that was the most enjoyable part of the whole project. 😉

New BioDiesel Feedstock found.

Saw this link on Digg.com. I love the idea that alternative feedstocks are being found. I’m not too thrilled that the industry is looking to agriculture as a primary source. I would think that the secondary source of WVO would be more logical, and more in tune with a conservation ethos.
