I found this extremely comical, especially since it involved the camera tower! At the USC practice yesterday the players were wrapping up when they heard a yell from the camera tower, looking up they see a guy jumping from the lift forty feet in the air. (That is where I film from). The players looked [...]

From 70 to 40 in Two Days!
T-Shirts and Shorts were the clothing of choice at last weeks practices, however today quickly brought out my entire arsenal of winter clothing. Granted the temperatures weren’t terrible (around 40), but the winds forty feet up in the air don’t mix well with colder temperatures! So today I pulled out all of my “Arctic” gear [...]

Disney Design: Forced Perspective
In this edition of the Disney Design Posts I’d like to let you in on a little trick that Disney uses to make things seem “larger than life”. Does that castle look massive from the train station? Do those shops lining main street seem several stories tall? When you enter the park does it look [...]

Disney Design: Setting the Stage
At Disney World it is all about the “Show”. The employees are called “Cast Members”, the customers are called “Guests”, anytime a Cast Member is in front of a Guest they are considered “On Stage”. It is this unique difference that makes Disney a theme park on a whole other level than any other theme [...]

Disney Design: Tower of Terror and Morocco?
A new series I’m going to do here at the Blog of Blake Adams is a look at some interesting Design features of the Disney Parks. Some of them you will have heard of, others are more interesting and things even I have just discovered. It’s amazing the time and thought process that goes into [...]

Lunch Break: Awesome Chalk Drawing
A chalk drawing someone did on a City Sidewalk. If you stand in the spot the picture was taken you will see the image, it would probably look very awkward from a different angle though. It’s really cool though! Find more by searching for Sidewalk Chalk Drawings on Google!
This is a part of the “Lunch [...]

Also as filmed from [...]

Origin Cribs
Here is the “Cribs” episode we shot while in Destin Florida of our Pent House! We didn’t have a lot of time so there isn’t tons of B-Roll (extra footage), but it still gives you a pretty good look at the “pad” we had while in Destin! Check it out!
