I think I was bored one night (these are the days before Guitar Hero) and decided to show off my dogs mad skillz. My dog Riley, who’s got the black face, is having her 4th birthday soon. She has had a litter of puppies on accident while I was in college. That was quite the experience. Luci, Alison’s dog, has got the white strip on her face. She gets called Lucifer every once and a while when she won’t behave, but she is a great (and smart) dog 90% of the time.

Here’s baby Riley

It’s got nothing to do with any of my recent projects but it’s funny.

I was asked to direct video for a MercyMe that was hosted by First Baptist in Lubbock. I jump at the opportunity to direct video for concerts. I don’t know what else to say about it except I enjoy it! Of course I am only as good as my camera operators last night and as far as I’m concerned the guys and gals running cameras last night are THE best.

I am in no way claiming that I had much to do with this event except direct for it. It’s not really a Blalock Video thing but I ended up keeping a copy of it and wanted to share the song “Here With Me”.

Right now I’ve got a lot of weddings backed up that are HD for when I figure out the best HD delivery method. So, I wanted to present some options to you, the reader and/or client and hear your feedback.

First up is Blu-ray discs. The blank media and players are still expensive but you would think they would be going down soon. Every one is used to DVD discs and could jump right into using Blu-ray if they had the player.

Secondly, is delivering your HD videos on this little guy, the Western Digital HD media player. It’s a very reasonably priced player that seems to play all sorts of media including 1080p full HD.

Next is delivery via the MP4 format. This I’m thinking might be the most popular format right now as it doesn’t cost anything. It will simply play in your iTunes and Apple TV. It could also be played on your iPhone or iPod even though it wouldn’t be HD. I’m looking into possibly delivering through a video podcast or vodcast. Does any one know if you can deliver HD vodcasts? I personally have an Apple TV and love it. It plays anything that’s in my iTunes and can even rent and buy movies, tv shows and music.

So, please leave comments on what you would prefer.:
-Blu-ray DVD
-Western Digital Media Player
-MP4 format and possibly on an Apple TV
-Or another option I haven’t thought about

That’s actually how we met a little over a year ago. I had a Boxer who was about 2 years old and Alison had just gotten her boxer puppy. If you know anything about Boxers you know how sweet these dogs are. They are not the smartest nor the most athletic dogs, nor are they very good for hunting, but they are sweet.. and funny. I guess they get bored in the backyard at times and have found ways to keep themselves entertained. I thought Luci (Alison’s dog) was just crazy when I first saw her doing what you are about to see. But alas, she was just entertaining herself. Riley (my dog), poor thing is just dumb and sweet. Enjoy!

This was an interesting video. I worked on an Ad team at Texas Tech and this team’s client was Coke. So, they creatives came up with this concept and when they told me their idea I was thinking there was no way we could pull this off… but we did. I crack up every time I watch this video, and you will too. It’s pointless but I felt like blogging tonight. Enjoy!
