Hi gang!

Just thought I'd post the link to my latest short, which I made for an istockphoto.com contest (to win a sweet camera!!). There was a 3 minute running time limit.
Shot on miniDV and onlined using the techniques described in Stu Maschwitz's DV Rebel's Guide. I tried to keep digital effects minimal and realistic.

The contest theme was future technology, and since it was at a stock photo website, it got me thinking about how we might take pictures in the near future. Then, for some reason I started imagining a future where pictures might be the most important thing, something worth saving, something more valuable than anything else...
