B-ball B-board

By Jon Roemer On 21 Dec ’11 · 2 Comments

Rubber baby buggy bumpers. Basketball billboard, basketball billboard, basketball billboard.

Hot off the non-linear editor – Fordham University’s “College Basketball – New York Style!” billboard rises on Manhattan’s west side, overlooking Riverside Drive and the West Side Highway.

Fordham is featuring it on their YouTube Channel,  two of their FaceBook pages,

In the Jungle, the Mighty Jungle

By Jon Roemer On 18 Dec ’11 · Leave a Comment

Friday night, somewhat on a whim, I decided to upgrade my Mac Pro to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. Lest that seem haphazard or foolhardy it wasn’t quite that spontaneous. A Mac Pro has four drive bays and I always have a full clone of my primary HD with the OS. I also made sure [...]

Today’s New York Times Sunday Book Review includes Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow in its 10 Best Books of 2011, calling Kahneman the “world’s most influential psychologist.”

Psst, Psst… HISP

By Jon Roemer On 8 Dec ’11 · Leave a Comment

In early November I spent the day with Taiye Lambo of eFortresses, a data and information security training and certification company. To a non-corporate person like myself that’s a mouthful but if you live in the corporate world and your job intersects with data then you are likely to know and call on [...]

By Jon Roemer On 7 Dec ’11 · 1 Comment

On location yesterday in NYC to shoot time lapse segments for a short video. Out the door at 5:15am and at the site by 6:30am. Set up location #1 in West Harlem Piers Park, on a pier in the Hudson right by 125th St and the West Side Highway. Fortunately, Fairway’s [...]

Canon EOS C300

By Jon Roemer On 30 Nov ’11 · 4 Comments

I had mentioned the Canon’s new 1D X when it was announced in mid-October. Right on the heels of that Canon revealed its new EOS C300, a cinema style camera which kicks things up many notches in features, quality, and… price point.

Director/DP/Editor Jonathan Yi has posted what may be the world’s greatest test [...]
