Vimeo – b.rox

Moving video around the web has gotten a lot easier over the past decade. Studious types may remember that YouTube launched the same year Katrina hit: 2005. In remembrance of the ten year anniversary of these twin catastrophes, I’ve re-upped the three episodes of the ROX “Katrina trilogy” in full quality. There’s really no reason to […]

I gave this presentation yesterday. Digital Activism from a Planetary Perspective on Vimeo.

ROX 98 is complete and available for your viewing pleasure, and I use that term advisedly. This is our first venture into the heady world of high-definition video, so I’m going to go ahead and link directly to the spot on Vimeo where you can watch the episode in all its glory — cuz I’m too cheap […]

We had a wonderful Lammas. It has emerged as probably my favorite holiday, which is kind of funny considering I never heard of it until two years ago. It’s taken a few weeks but I finally got some photos up. And as an unexpected bonus, we even have a short movie, which contains the very […]

Here are two cool videos that have bounced into my life over the last 24 hours. Hola, B! This comes from someone I’ve never met, a guy in Philadelphia. Sometimes with all this “cultural production” I do — not sure what else to call it — I feel like I’m whispering down a well. Why do […]

Thanks to Sean for turning me on to this animated short. The Waif of Persephone from Nick Cross on Vimeo. At first I was thrown off by the complete absence of Demeter, but it becomes clear that Mr. Cross has quite a different take on the old story. Amazing work! I’m getting the DVD because, […]

Here’s a short video I shot and edited featuring three sixth graders at the school where Xy teaches. Problem Solving on Vimeo The girls are Kamaria, Tekiesaine & Destiny. They’re singing lyrics of their own, inspired by Xy’s “life skills” lesson, to the tune of “Show Stopper” by Danity Kane. We’re also sending this video […]

Back in the late 80s, when I was just getting interested in video production, I shot some stuff at the County Line Mall in Indianapolis with my friend, Butt. (Yes, yes, that’s his real name, his last name. I will refrain from telling his first name in order to spare him potential Google embarrassment.) He’s […]

Ever had the feeling that all the pieces are coming together — but none of them fit? Like maybe some wiseacre at the factory mixed together a bunch of different puzzles as a prank? Yeah, me too. I stopped by Michael’s house after work yesterday to talk with Roy Bragg of the San Antonio Express-News. […]

Eleven Months Post-Katrina on Vimeo Also on YouTube. This video seems a little disjointed to me, but hopefully you can connect the dots: We personally are OK, but as a city we are not OK, and we’re trying to make it better in any little way we can.

For our ten month update, I turn the helm over to Xy. Also posted to YouTube, or you can download the 5 MB QuickTime movie, but you’ll need QuickTime 7. See also: Nine Months, Eight Months, Six Months, Five Months.

Here’s a short (two minute) video for the nine month mark. I uploaded it to both Vimeo and YouTube, so take your pick. The YouTube one was looking funny so I’m embedding Vimeo’s here, but you can access either via the links above. And just to give you more options, you can also download it […]

It’s been eight months since Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the Gulf Coast. Xy and I made a little (two minute) video to mark the occasion, as we did at the five and six month marks. You can watch it here: Or, if you have Quicktime 7, you can download a higher-quality version here. (Note […]

Six months after the storm. People are taking stock. Me too. I’d describe my mood as one of tightly bridled optimism. I’m not sure if that puts me in the minority or the majority. There’s all kinds of polls flying around, mostly worthless because the Katrina diaspora and the lack of functioning landlines in New […]

Xy and I made a little video to mark five months since Katrina. It’s kind of like our own miniature state of the union address.
