Meet the Experts for Sony and Howdini
7
A few months ago I spent a few days in LA working on a shoot for Sony, un-related to my work on Qore. The end result is a series of videos where myself, Nigel Barker (“noted fashion photographer” for you ANTM fans) and Joe Penna (YouTube sensation MysteryGuitarMan) help you pick the right technology for you, called Meet the Experts!
Some of the topics are well-traveled territory for most of you Tekzilla fans out there, but if you know someone that needs help picking out the right kind of TV, or wants to know how to make their entertainment center wireless, then just send them our way!
The shoot was a blast, and thanks to the entire crew for making the whole thing come together.
Oh, you know, just playing tennis with Maria Sharapova…
91 year ago
As I mentioned a few weekends ago, I was invited by Sony Ericsson and the WTA Tour to spend the morning hitting a few tennis balls around and chatting gadgets with Maria Sharapova. This is the highlight reel of that day, and I have to admit; my high school coach would not be amused with how my tennis form has deteriorated over the last 10 years!
Maria was great, and we talked all about how hard it is to stay in touch with your friends in family when you’re on the road (something I can definitely relate to as well). Now that I’ve got some new outfits to wear, I’m more inclined to get back out on the court and practice some more too!
All in all, it was a really fun day, although my thighs and shoulders were pretty sore for about a week afterwards. That girl is in shape!! Check out some more photos from the day below (including some pictures from my interview with Ana Ivanovic), and make sure you visit Maria on Facebook too!
Back from Japan!
81 year ago
Whew, that was a big trip! I went with the Qore team to Japan for two weeks for shoots, and we travelled from Osaka to Kyoto to Tokyo on a whirlwind tour of the country. This was my fourth time in Japan, but it definitely the most comprehensive (and exhausting!) trip I’ve probably ever taken!
I can’t tell you too much about the developer interviews that we did, but I’ve posted TONS of photos from the culture piece that we shot. From snow monkeys to toilets, we covered some really random and awesome stuff.
I can’t believe how much news I missed around here, too. I didn’t even know HP bought Palm until yesterday. /facepalm.
Anyhow, happy to be home! Keep your eyes open for Japan content on Qore in upcoming months, and in the meantime check out the trailer for the new episode, out today!
