CHS Video on Current

Current TV

I posted Episode 1 of CHS-V on Current.com about a week ago.  Out of 9,000+ viewer submitted videos on the site, it started at #25, and has VERY slowly been moving up since then, it's now sitting at #20.  If it does well enough online and the Current people like it, it could play on Current TV (comcast channel 125 in Seattle) and I'll make some money from it, which would be a good thing.  Here's the link to the video on Current, "vote it up" and leave a comment if you like it.  Hopefully you can also find the video on the top 20 videos page.

UPDATE (1/4/09) - Well the video made it as high as #16 last week, but now it's dropping.

Snow!

CHS-V Ep. 2 - Snow Storm '08

Carmela was gone at work all day and I was stuck at home with the snow, this was the result.  All these shots are taken within about a 3 block radius of our apartment, I was planning on going farther but I got tired of carrying my tripod in the snow, and my camera was getting pretty wet.

More Flyp

I forgot this morning in my post about the Deb Manuma piece in Flyp, that another interview that I shot with Leatrice Eiseman is also in that same issue, from p. 24-27.

I can't believe how much of the interview they used, There's over 30 minutes of the interview in there, with no B-Roll!  Overall I'm really impressed with Flyp, but I can't really imagine anybody that's not in the color forecasting field watching that much content.

Deb Manuma

Deb Manuma in Flyp Media

I interviewed Deb Manuma last Saturday for flyp media.  She is the woman from the PI Article a couple of weeks ago, who was being kicked out of the rental home that was being foreclosed on, even though she always paid rent on time and had been living there for 6 years.

Turns out she found a new place to live, and has made it her personal mission to raise awareness about renters rights issues.  She's even been invited down to Olympia some time this session to tell her story to the legislature.

Here's the link to her article/ interview that I shot, she is on page 3.

For anyone out there who knows about media law/ etiquette... Since flyp hired me to do this interview, I waited until the flyp article was released to post this update on Deb on here.  I knew that flyp wasn't going to use the part about her getting a new house, they just wanted her back story which was already written about in the PI article above.  Could I have posted the update right away, or should I have waited?  I am the one that found Deb, and arranged the interview.

First Episode

The first episode of CHS-V is up, on the Capitol Hill Seattle Blog.  I interviewed Justin Carder of CHS, Scott Durham of Instivate, and reader contributor Seadevi who also writes the Capitol Hill Triangle Blog.
