Go Big! Digital displays at the URMC Discovery Ball

For the URMC Discovery Ball, we created several huge displays. This one was about 20 feet wide and was the scrim that then opened at the transition to the dinner hour. It is 16×9 format HD and it included a timelapse of a two hour sunset from the new Wilmot Cancer Center building.

Over about 10 minutes, you could see the sunset through the windows, while people came and went, cars drove by and the lights came on… it was a big hit and guests stood there just watching it. The display then included some of my ‘beauty views’ of the new building from the outside fading toward sunset.

Thanks to Ron Cronk for his help during the 3 hours we worked on this shoot!

This display of our work was 5′ tall prints (thanks to some great help from our local Kodak friends!)

The goal was really to bring the new building to the guests.

Thanks for the fun, creative projects Kim & everyone at URMC & the Cancer Center!

URMC Cancer Center Almost Done!

My associate Ron Cronk and I snuck into the building (OK, Security let us in

and we did a time-lapse series of the sun setting through the windows of the new building at the WIlmot Cancer Center.

We had a blast as always and grabbed some outside shots for Leslie White’s publications as well.

I think the Duct Tape bracelet makes the photo (thanks for the shots, Ron!)

Me ruining Ron’s shot.

The craziest thing was when an orderly and a patient (totally hooked up to machines and IVs) wheeled by to see the building progress and we chatted.

Photo Slideshows: PulpMotion and BannerZest

I use Boinx’s FotoMagico for my pro digital image shows. It has wonderfully smooth transitions and lots of features, but I just bumped into PulpMotion from Aquafadas software.

Aquafadas has a slick little Flash program that’s part of the current MacUpdate Bundle Deal (check that out too!) and I bumped into PulpMotion from that.

It uses the ‘theme’ idea that’s ruined many such products, but these guys are like Apple… their design sense rocks. And on top of that, some of the themes just seem to be simple transition and text settings.

I’ll demo it and let you know if it’s as cool as it looks. Check out their site for videos of the shows created with PulpMotion.

Colin’s ‘Instant Cheeseburger’ Recipe

Instant Cheeseburgers

Bring 40 lbs of diced venison to a boil. Once it is fully cooked (Rudolph’s nose will turn black when safe to eat), sprinkle with salt, dried peppers, onion powder, garlic powder and talcum powder, then drizzle with hot sauce. Mix everything together in a bowl, and a chemical fire will erupt and burn it to a crisp. Then pitch it and go to a McDonald’s drive “thru” and order some cheeseburgers. Because you get your burgers right after ordering, they really are instant, right?

OK, a lot of this stuff looked trashy, but they were on to something funny in a few of these things… Only at RIT would the graffiti include HTML tags!

… or deep thoughts like this.

Thanks to the two guys that ‘held it’ whilst I shot this.

I’m still process if I thought this was stupid or not ((thinking))
