Is this bad?

Is it possible to post a video with out making a statement? This question popped up in the Buck Ross office this week after receiving our very first negative comment on Vimeo.

Our public posts are meant to showcase our work- highlighting the range of our productions. This negative comment, which was directed towards a demo video for a Sir Richard's Condoms app, had nothing to do with filmmaking, but rather attempted to start a moral debate.

Naturally, we took this personally, but should we?

By posting videos, risque or otherwise, we're not trying to make any statements, but what we're starting to wonder is: Do we have a choice?

Helmet Sham

GoPros?! Those are for sissies. Why would you use that tiny little camera when you can strap a full sized DSLR and a jazzercise dumbbell to a motorcycle helmet? It's way better that way…or at least we thought so.

We put this uncomfortable contraption onto the head of our token millennial, Brian, and asked him to go about his day. Brian wore this neck sore from waking up, riding his bike, at work, happy hour, and everything in-between. All the while he was using Now What Research's smartphone-based consumer insight app, Mobilography. An app that helps give researchers real, 100% in-the-moment, unadulterated findings. The good stuff.

Thanks Brian! And we're sorry. See the video here.

With a change in identity, website, and location we dropped the blogging ball, but we're back now and ready to blog it up real nice. New posts coming soon. Real soon.

This is what it's like to go nordic skiing…if you have no idea what you're doing.

Navigating Without Sight
Sep 7th, 2011 IN work

A video Buck Ross recently edited about Claudia Folska, PhD. Claudia is a blind woman who studies how people navigate built environments, without sight. Using echo location and other non-visual "paths", she explains how she moves not only through cities, but through life.

This video was a digital extra for a written article in Wired Magazine. All shot by friend and local photog phenom Jamie Kripke.
