Mustang Sally on the Santa Monica Pier from David Zentz on Vimeo.

A few weeks ago I borrowed my friend Matt’s 5D Mark II to try out its video capabilities. I hadn’t shot video using a DSLR, so I thought we’d go out to the Santa Monica Pier to give it a try. Of course it turned out to be cloudy, but there was enough going on that I could test it out at least. Fortunately we found this kid dancing around to a rendition of Mustang Sally, which is both entertaining and gave me some natural sound to cut the video to. Enjoy.

Drinking wine at Paradise Pantry

Two weeks after attending the VJ Multimedia Workshop in Ventura, I returned with Erinn for a nice little day trip. Having only been there for the workshop, much of which I spent holed up in a computer lab, I thought it would be a good idea to head back up and actually take a look around. We spent much of the day strolling Main Street, ducking in and out of shops and grabbing a bite to eat, and a bit of time out on the pier, where I found this man and his dog napping in the afternoon sun. We then decided to drop back in on Paradise Pantry, the shop I had done my multimedia project on (see previous post), and spent a good hour or two sampling some great local wines and an excellent assortment of fine cheeses. Seeing as it’s only an hour north of here, I’m sure Ventura will become a nice little getaway in the future.
