First off, I will state that I am what I call a Sasquatch 'Hopeful'. I am as skeptical as the next guy but it would make my year if one was caught (humanely hopefully) and or some great great close up video not shaky and 100% irrefutable.

With that said, I saw this morning that there was some new video from two guys camping in Provo Canyon in Utah. I pulled the video and did some stabilizing, slowing and zooming to get a good look at what the two guys saw. I'm about 80-20 on this video. 80 being believable and 20 being not-so-much.
The 'Sasquatch' looks good as far as behavior, body proportions (arm length).

The 20 that makes me skeptical is that it appears to be late Fall, a little snow on the ground (seen when guys are running) so I'd have to assume it's pretty cool if not cold and the guys don't seem to be dressed for the cold. I say that without actually know the temp and/or the exact time of the year or the situation. It's just a thought I developed after watching the clip about a dozen times. Otherwise, it looks pretty good.

I made this video to show the steady-cam I made as well as show a little footage shot with it. If you are looking at purchasing or making a steady-cam device I have one piece of advice (more like a 'warning'). They almost work too well. I mean they can be SO SMOOTH that they allow the camera to move so easily and slightly. Don't despair, with a little (a LOT) of practice you can get great shots. They pretty much REQUIRE two hands to operate effectively and get good shots. The one I made went through a few different design changes until I was satisfied. It turned out to be very smooth and fulfilled exactly my warning above. If you are serious about getting smooth walking shots, you can pull it off with a little practice.

I just finished up shooting video at the Nike Fieldhouse here in Omaha just 2 blocks away from the College World Series (CWS). I hooked up with a local photographer who was hired by these guys working for Nike. Today is Monday. It started last Wednesday at a baseball field in Ralston NE (Orval Smith Field) where the Skills Challenge took place. Then when the CWS started Saturday the 18th, the Nike Fieldhouse opened up in a retail space just two blocks from the TD Ameritrade Park, the new home for the CWS, I shot video for 2 hours on Sat, Sun and today (Mon) all to make clips for a 2 minute internal promo video for the guys that ran the Nike thing here in Omaha.
Right now it's 10:00 and I just got done capturing video off two Mini DV Tapes. I'll probably edit tomorrow for it is bedtime.
I have to say it was fun to a point but today, the video session ran into some other things I had to do and I had to push them back to tomorrow when I could have got them done today. It's fun to do what you love and when you can make some money at it, why not? But since last Wednesday till today I discovered where my 'line' is when it comes to working for someone else.

Last Saturday my family and I were invited to a birthday celebration for our friend Pat Wilson. Cameras of both kind were in order and a video was born. It was a fun time, I even got to play some ping pong.

I saw this nice morning scene the other day. I tweaked my cell phone camera (HTC Incredible, 8 MgPix res)for a finer photo and snapped it off.

Today they brought up the Chilean miners that were trapped for 69 days. I watched at work in a live pop up window from CNN. It was cool to see the end result.

Last night I showed my girls how to run the lawnmower and cut the grass. I know this, my son knows it now now the girls do. Now there are four.

Thais past weekend the family and I went to Vala's Pumpkin Patch for our annual pumkin experience. This year we got to take our exchange student Rachel. She had fun as well as our kids. The weather was perfect.

Today is about as perfect as a day can get. Only myself and two others roode our motorcycles today... shame, y'all are missing out.

I think I have a new favorite camera. This beauty is under $3,500 and tapeless. It records onto 2 HCSD cards at 1080. I won’t go into all the details, there is a link below for all that. Wish with me for this creature to be in my possession in the near future. Oh yeah.

After the two snowfalls we had last week (the latter delivering much more snow than the first) we get freezing drizzle this morning which means... scraping.
