It was suggested that some would like to see the person doing the tutorials. I don't know what my Ichabod Crane like visage adds to the pedagogical process, but why not. In these videos I show me working on a blue jean rug which is almost done and which I hope to sell, while discussing some of the aspects of the craft.

Richard Hammond chucks televisions out of a moving van in the search to find the world's most protective packaging. Brainiac boffin Jon Tickle gets caught up in DIY quicksand. Will 100 muskets and a cannon be enough to destroy a black box flight recorder? What happens when you add the world's most dangerous metals to water? Is it better to be tall or small in rush hour? More things NOT to put in your microwave. Which is the world's hottest sauce? Can you boil an egg with 100 mobile phones? And can you stop rock and roll with the help of a crane and a caravan? And Brainiac goes interactive - giving you the chance to vote and win a day out with high explosives.
This is another video taken of a Crane fishing.
Stick around for the second half where you can watch the bird stirring up the silt with it's legs.
Pretty cute.

Italy travel: Florence. Street violinist could have been a concert violinist for our Perillo Tours Familia. A view of Florence's bell tower, trying to exclude the construction crane from the frame. Ponte Vecchio bridge from afar, and then views right from the middle of the bridge. The Ponte Vecchio was the only bridge in Florence to survive World War II intact, according to Wikipedia.

IndiePix would like to present MARION: A contemporary de-construction of Hitchcock's PSYCHO. Three women play Marion Crane simultaneously on three separate screens. This original piece reinterprets a classic film with contemporary insight.
MARION is currently available to university libraries and professors as a teaching tool for classes that examine gender, film history, and film/video techniques. Oberlin College and the University of Illinois at Urbana are just two of many institions that are utilizing this dynamic work in their course curricula.
From award-winning filmmaker Ry Russo-Young:
"MARION examines each choice that Marion Crane made in PSYCHO that leads to her premature and unconventional death less than half way through the film. If Marion had decided not to steal money from her boss would she have been able to escape the shower attack? MARION offers three variations on the PSYCHO narrative so that we may explore the larger concept of character and narrative conventions in cinema."
