Be Luminous Yoga

I produced this video for the Be Luminous Yoga studio in South Lake Union, partly in exchange for a year of yoga! ... oooommmmm (-¿-)  

Allrecipes / Herdez

I shot a new series of videos for Allrecipes.com recently, this time in partnership with Herdez Brand, featuring their Mexican Cooking Sauces that they're just introducing.  Allrecipes brought in one of their users, Diana, who I worked with once before on an episode of What's Cooking, and she did a great job... better than many on-camera professionals I've worked with actually!

I didn't get to shoot in the kitchen that I really wanted to... but we ended up in the community kitchen of an apartment building on First Hill and it worked out great.  Here's the Enchiladas video...

There's also LOBSTER TACOS, CHILI, and TORTA AHOGADA.

And also... they exist!  I saw them at QFC last week:

Trip to the San Juans

The lastest installment of David's Vacations in Music Video Form has been released!  The song is Beat Connection - The Palace Garden 4am.

Previous installments include Japan and Bainbridge Island.

Limeade

I've been working on a series of client testimonial videos for Limeade, a startup in Bellevue that helps businesses design and implement wellness programs for their employees. 

The first two videos are up, and are featured front and center on the homepage!  They feature Limeade clients Swedish Medical Center and Jamba Juice.

I love the way the backdrop for the two Swedish Interviews turned out, looking out from one of the "twin toasters." It looks so Seattle with the towers and freeway ramps poking through the trees.

Welcome World Cuisine

For the past year or so Erik Dinnel and I have been producing a show for Allrecipes.com, called Welcome World Cuisine. 

Allrecipes built its business on step-by-step recipe instructions, while my thinking has always been to tell a good story first and worry about the details second.  I think with this series we were able to combine the two in a way that really works.  If you want the step-by-step recipe instructions, they're there, but if you want to just enjoy these videos for the story and for the "food porn," that's there too.

Up until now Allrecipes has been posting these to a dedicated page on their website, but they just started releasing them on youtube so I figured I'd share a couple of my favorites here.  

First is Pork Dumplings, from Liana's Cafe House in the International District.  You can buy these dumplings frozen, by the bag, and I highly recommend doing so!

And then here's Pho with Eric Banh of BaBar.  Eric was a realy interesting guy and we got two really good videos out of him (we also did Vermicelli Bowl).

You can find the rest of them on youtube here (they're saved as a playlist on allrecipes' main account).  They've posted 10 so far, and I'd imagine they'll be releasing more in the near future.
