Holyoke Art Film

This instant classic includes artistic flourishes galore, such as: a “swing’s-eye” view of swinging people, a “sidewalk’s-eye” view of walking people, a normal view of people reading e-books (!) on a laptop, and that’s about it.  It’s only 1:17 in length for heaven’s sake.

More Video from Massachusetts Cousins Visit

Well it took us a week to edit it, but here it is, YouTube video of the Masachusetts cousins at play last Sunday AM while the rest of the world slept.  OK, we admit, we didn’t really edit it, but just posted it (which is less work).  Guest directors in this video are Kien, Tien, and Leah.

Pi Day Podcast

Well it’s Pi Day (3.14) and in honor of that we created the podcast below, which is rather long.  In this early morning creation we discuss a pending visit from Tien and Kien, Isaac’s new friend Oakes, Leah’s new friend, a balloon, and that’s about it.
