Wild Versus Wall 2010 Revision


This is an updated version of Wild Versus Wall, produced for the Sierra Club by Pan Left member Steev Hise. The film, which was first released in 2008, concerns the ecological effects of new enforcement infrastructure on the U.S./Mexico border. This new revision includes the newest footage and photos of wall segments, construction, and effects, as well as messaging about the current presidential administration's failure to halt or reverse Bush-era policy.
Narrated by David Yetman.

The Desert You Never Knew

Last summer, I got paid $120 to work a few days as a grip and sound guy for a production crew from Montana. They were hired by my supervisor, Kirk Astroth (the Director of AZ 4-H Youth Development), to produce a science-based short for kids about desert life. Kirk is also behind a larger project called TerraPod. Here's the final piece.

Video Postcard to OBAMA (abridged)

VideoObama.mp4

Here it is! Our Video Postcard to OBAMA (much shorter of course). On January 17th this year we had a great event over at Pan Left to celebrate Obama's inauguration and there was almost 2 and 1/2 hours of footage! This version I managed to whittle down to 5 and 1/2 minutes so you all can see some of what everyone had to say. We'll send the Prez both versions cut and un-cut on the DVD. Thanks for everyone who came out! We'll see how the next 4 years go.

The Air Car!

Yah! I finally figured out how to post a video from YouTube.
(if you want to know just ask me)

Anyway, I thought this Air Car sounded awesome, so I thought I'd share.

Do you want one as much as I do?

Charismatic Megafauna Non-Debut

charmegfauna-Sequence 1-MPEG-4 300Kbps.mp4

At the end of February I was supposed to perform live audio and video under my pseudonym, Charismatic Megafauna, at the Dry River experimental art festival, FLOOD. However, I was so busy that I didn't have time to prepare, so instead I showed a slide show with narration that humorously "explained" why I wasn't able to perform, then played a previously made video piece. For y'alls entertainment, this is that slide show turned into a video.

Q: Why? A: FOOD

Personally, my own health has been on my mind lately which luckily I was reminded about author Michael Pollan. Pollan is someone I have been paying attention too for a while, and I have yet to read his book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma (anybody lend me a copy?), but whenever book excerpts and articles arise with his name, I'm right there.

Passage final edit -- sneak preview!

Passage_peek.mov

"Passage" is a study of the contrasts between the inequalities of urban human life, and the raw purity of the natural world. It reflects my fascination with both -- and ultimately, seeks out those places where they intersect.

Shot in Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil in 2004 and 2005.

Musical improvisation by Nick Luca at Synaesthesia 2007.

Produced and edited by Sonya Angelica Diehn.

The final cut will premiere at the Synaesthesia DVD release show Friday, Feb. 1 beginning 9 PM at El Ojito, 340 N. 4th Ave. (see prior post)
