The Accolades Continue

Our eighth Editor's Pick out of eight uploads on TripFilms.com. We don't take it for granted, we're up against some stiff competition. Check out the 3-minute video on the BBQ Film event Derelicte Fashion Show. The event centered around the film Zoolander. Good fun. BBQ Films is thinking of throwing a Christmas event so stay posted.

SeaScape Manor B&B Video Wins Editor's Pick Award at TripFilms.com

Nomadic Frames' most recent video, SeaScape Manor B&B, was awarded Featured Video and Editor's Pick on TripFilms.com! This is our sixth video posted to TripFilms.com and our sixth Editor's Pick award. Very excited.

This one is a bit more "commercial" than most of your videos but we felt it was the best way to show this unique B&B in a tranquil, Jersey Shore town. Highly recommended and you can take a ferry to the town from Manhattan. A wonderful escape!

Third set of photos published in Austrian Press

Two of our photos appeared in the Kronen Zeitung Salzburg newspaper, one of Austria’s biggest daily papers (tabloid-style). Thanks to TripFilms.com and The Austrian Tourism Board for inviting us to photograph the event.

Photo in the Austrian Independent

This looks like a word for word copy of the article that was in the Austrian Times. Not sure if its owned by the same company or if they just published the same press release but what is important to us is that it is the second Austrian publication to run one of our photos. Sweet!

Three Photos on Austrian Tourism Board Website

Three of our photos appear on the Austrian Tourism Board's website. Was a fun six-hour shoot, snapped over 2000 still photos and it took 2.5 days to process 97 selects. Good stuff.

Thank you Ranger John

Ranger John saved our day after our bicycle lock would not open. We were at the tip of Sandy Hook National Recreation Area in New Jersey, 6.5 miles away from civilization. Storm clouds were quickly approaching and we had all of our film gear with us. This delayed our day by about 2 hours which was unfortunate because we had much to shoot. But all in all, a successful three days of shooting with our new Canon 5D Mark III, as well as our Canon Mark II.

The bikes (and the lock, sorry) belonged to the Seascape Manor B&B. We had a great stay with them.

Happiness is a warm 5DM3

The new Canon 5D Mark III has arrived. Can't tell you how excited I am. Lots to set up, we need to start shooting tomorrow and I'm going to spend my night at a Radiohead show in Newark, New Jersey. Tomorrow I teach an all day Final Cut Pro class at Downtown Community Television. So much to do, so little time.

Here is the first shot I took with the new 5DM3 and the Canon 50mm f/1.8 II lens of my Mark II and other goodies on the couch. Can't wait to experiment with the shallow depth of field this set-up will give me!

5DM3

Bit the bullet and bought the Canon 5D Mark III today. Considered the 7D and 60D and even the T3i but in the end we broke the Nomadic Frames bank and bought the best. The Mark III joins our Mark II to help us shoot our documentaries world wide. We're in an undisclosed location in New Jersey this weekend shooting four short docs for TripFilms.com. We'll let you know when they are done.

Best Travel Film: The Way

My favorite travel film in recent years, The Way (2010). Directed by Emilio Estevez staring his father Martin Sheen whose character is inspired to hike the thousands of years old, Medieval "El Camino de Santiago" Pilgrimage through Spain. Do yourself a favor and see it. Have tissues on hand.

Cordoba, Argentina
2006

Two laptops, multiple hard drives, Lonely Planet travel book, too many plug adaptors and Yerba Maté tea got me through the edit which we uploaded to Current TV on questionable Internet lines. Good times with Global Transmission Media.

The video I was editing, A Patagonia Refuge, is up for a 2012 Trippy Award. Would love for you to follow the link below, sign up for a TripFilms.com account (very easy, no spam) and vote for it. Its under the 8th category down, Destination Profile. Thank you.

The Peace Boat
South China Sea
2004

Filmmaking isn't easy. Sometimes you have to go the extra mile. I was shooting a fashion show on the Japanese Peace Boat (www.peaceboat.org) back in 2004 when they asked me to be in the show. They gave me the Kimono but not the Samurai sword I asked for. Good fun.

Sea View Game & Lion Park
25 minutes outside Port Elizabeth, South Africa

Vân playing with a baby lion. Similar to a heavy house cat but much more intense. We could have played with these little guys all day (there were three). If you make it to Port Elizabeth, South Africa, you need to go to this place.

Cusco, Peru
March 2001

Vân & Morgan (and random pooch) standing beside the amazing Sacsayhuaman wall outside the Peruvian city of Cusco, the former capital of the great Inca Empire. "Scientists" believe hundreds of men dragged each of these stones to the site with rope but we all know it was aliens who built this. One of the most impressive things I've seen in my life, maybe more impressive than Machu Picchu itself.

Spent the weekend on Fire Island scouting a possible travel story. Great weekend, thanks Pete & Sarah.
