I am buried in the edit room.
We may get one more ski in, but I should cut.
Have a good Weekend!

Kids Art


So I am working on this documentary about artists, dancers, musicians and the like, and I am hanging out with the artists talking about kids art. I said grade school art is probably more interesting than high school art. Someone talked about an artist that had to hide his kids artwork in his studio because people visiting his studio were more drawn to the kids' art rather than to his art. Anyway I get home and my kid has this amazing kangaroo haha! Brilliant!

The Talking Fly (dot com)


Look up the talking fly dot com and it should bring you right back here. I was on a shoot and I told the people I was invisible (we goofy documentary people always say that, like it is possible even with a small documentary crew --haha!) then I told them I might ask a question here or there and if I do I guess I am a "Talking Fly" they all laughed and thought it was funny and if gave me an idea, "The Talking Fly" not sure what I am going to do with it but now I own the site.
Speaking of flies, this still is from this video, a 30 second promo for Fuel TV made with real junk archival film, an ice pick, tons of tape and real dead flies.

A Day with Bob Burnquist


I shot this quick and dirty video a few years ago in Australia. It was a great trip with a week in New Zealand and a week in Australia. Bob Burnquist is one of my favorite skaters so it was cool to film him. I call him a brazilian hippy with a rubber man style if that makes sense. Anyway, enjoy! and thanks for the gig tim and oakley. Happy Wednesday

4th Annual Bicycle Art Show, Salt Lake Ctiy


My good friend Brent, the owner of Salt Lake City Bicycle Company, is getting ready for the 4th Annual Bicycle Art Show, just so you know. It is fun to roll around Salt Lake City on bikes and look at art, also you may want to send him some of your bike related artwork.


A few years ago I had some photos of Lance Armstrong in the show.

This video was in the show a few years ago and it is one of my favorite art/bike videos of all time, this thing is brilliant.
Happy Tuesday

Twitter.com/SteveOlpin


Twitter, not sure what to say about twitter.
I read an article about Steve Martin that made me what to try it and follow a few folks.
I was also quite intrigued by Lange Armstrong's Twitter.
Producer RIch Patch talked me into it, Thanks Rich.
For me it is a place to post random photos.
I check out Steve Martin's Twitter.
I also like to check out what Casey Neistat is doing through Twitter.
You can check out my Twitter here.
Photo: I posted on Twitter this snapshot of the first professional documentary I worked on as a student.
We were at the Salt Flats with a New York film crew for a week doing a documentary on Art Arfons and his car the Green Monster.
Happy Monday.
