This is the first of many video I am creating for Platinum Realty Network, but if you wish to see it, please head to their homepage at scottsdalehomesforsale.tv to view my video. I also created the animated logo in the beginning and the score for both the logo and the video were both composed by Thomas Hinman.

Nikon Window Mount

In my recent endeavors trying to find ways to get smooth footage neighborhoods & shopping centers, I found this gem at Sportsman’s Warehouse.

It is technically made to mount a spotting scope onto a car window, but it works great for small cameras. It is a metal body with rubber/foam pads on the clamp as well as on top of the quick-release baseplate. It is structurally sound however I have not tried it with my 60d yet. Here is a sample clip I took today with a flip camera going at about 15 miles/hour. It can handle faster speeds (I’ve tested up to 30) however everything moves by very fast.

The shots come out great for a $45 gadget, how ever you definitely look and feel like a major creeper cruising through neighborhoods with this.

Starting Fresh.

I couldn’t take how the old website was looking, so I decided to start fresh and get a little bit more of a blog vibe happening for time being. I won’t have pages a long the top, instead I am just going to be posting projects as I complete them and just categorizing them. I believe it will work better.
