Day 233/365

     I realize that it's been ages since I had a video or audio entry, so today I'm putting the 'multimedia' back into my multimedia challenge! I finally got around to shooting some video for work today, and thought that some of the footage would be a great addition to this project. The historic former Mill End building that I photographed a while ago, (to jog your memory, I put some of my favorites on my website here), has been schedule to be torn town for quite awhile, and the demolition started today. I took quite a few photos and shot some video in between. While I think demo. sites can be pretty cool to photograph, I was a little sad to see this building go. I only got to see it at its worst, (it had been abandoned for years and it'd be much too expensive for anyone to save it), but even with the damage it had undergone I still thought it had so much character. I wish I could've seen it in its glory.

If you'd like to see photos from today, or the other video I put together, you can find them under the photo and video tabs on my MLive profile.

Day 75/365

Read after the jump for an oatmeal cookie recipe; or, just watch the video!

Day 70/365

     Today's post is a video taken during a boat ride on the Grand River. My mom had some of her friends out to her cabin for a Memorial Day weekend cookout, and some of us went out on a pontoon boat for a bit down the river. At one point we had a short downpour of rain, so I made a video mashup of the ripples made from the rain hitting the river. 

Day 64/365

     Today was a lazy one, probably the first one I've had in a long time. My brother and I were out driving around this evening, so I took a bit of video of our drive home. Nothing too special, but it kept me entertained on the way back nonetheless.  

Day 54/365

     More petsitting adventures! Along with Sage, I'm also taking care of her feline counterpart, Juno. Juno's the most outgoing cat I've ever been around; she's incredibly affectionate and almost sounds like she's trying to talk with all of the different sounds she makes.

Day 37/365

     My apologies, but today I didn't go outside once. I got about two nonconsecutive hours of sleep last night, because every time I swallowed it felt like I was sandpapering my throat. I've been in a Nyquil and herbal tea-induced haze most of the day, hence this video footage of my tea kettle being my entry for day thirty-seven. Here's to better luck tomorrow!

One Month Down!

     One month of my 365 multimedia challenge down! It's been fun so far, and I've definitely had to really push myself a few times. I promise I won't make one of these posts for each month I get through; I'll probably save the next one for the six-month milestone, I think. We'll see! 

     It's definitely been interesting to see which posts were most popular/most viewed. Thanks so much for viewing; only eleven more months to go! Here's the top ten thus far after the jump.

Day 28/365

     I originally had something else planned for today's entry, but the cats decided to be funny this afternoon so I'll save my original plan for another day. Instead I put together some video clips of the two cats playing with my mom, with the dogs both making appearances also! And yes, I know; I broke my "no pet posts for awhile" rule pretty quickly. Oh well!

Day 27/365

     I went out onto the sidewalk at my mom's house and shot some video of the drizzling rain we've been having on and off all day for entry twenty-seven. I've been feeling a bit sick today so I wanted to make sure I got something done for my multimedia challenge before living in my bed for the rest of the day.

Day 25/365

     Today I went out to the Holden Arboretum in northeast Ohio and shot some video of one of the streams that runs under the boardwalk trail. I only had about an hour to explore out there before I had to get back to get ready for work, so I definitely hope to go back again soon when there's more time to check it out.

Day 23/365

 

     I was feeling more indecisive than usual, so I posted both a video and a photo from today's adventure. My mom, brother, and I went down to the Rockefeller Park Greenhouse in Cleveland this morning to check out all the flowers and plants that were in bloom. It was really cool; I'd never been there before. I definitely recommend going - especially with today's random snow dusting, it was nice to pretend it still felt like spring. 

Day 22/365

     Today was a long and crappy day, to put it mildly. I worked a ten-hour shift at the portrait studio, encountering some of the rudest adults and the most tantrum-prone children I've ever met. Anyways, I came home and thought that I'd record some video of one of our dogs, Kilee, doing some of the crazy stuff she usually does. At least a few times a day she chases her tail until she gets so dizzy she falls down, snaps her teeth as if she's talking back to us, and constantly tries to dig no matter where she is. Of course, as soon as I turned a camera on her, she was stone still... I just have to laugh at my luck, (or lack thereof), sometimes.

Day 19/365

     For today's post I did a time lapse video of tonight's sunset. I was hoping for some more dramatic colors than what I ended up getting. I haven't done a time lapse project in a long time, so it was at least a practice in being more patient. It's definitely a practice I think I'll come back to throughout this project, just with a more interesting subject matter next time.

Day 5/365

     Day five's entry accompanies my first actual video material for my multimedia challenge! Today I went out to Headlands Beach Park and took some video footage of the waves. It was pretty warm out today, but I definitely forgot how much cooler it is when you're right by the lake. I think my feet are still thawing.
