Probably an odd thing to include, but here a side project that is kind of related. In one of those ‘know someone who knows someone’ moments, I ended up shooting the bike footage that was projected at the end of the catwalk at Betsey’s fashion week show. It’s also currently being used in her stores. Used a GoPro HD video camera strapped to my chest to shoot key NY scenes, such as Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, and Central Park.

“My Best Khaki Pants” Kickstarter Project from Noodle on Vimeo.
It’s been a while since I updated my portfolio, and I do have some work for Motorola and Louis Vuitton to put up, but my life is also pretty consumed these days with planning a big adventure in my life. Starting in May, I’m going to be riding my bicycle across these great United States. This is actually going to be quite an experience for us all – I’m working out ways to digitally broadcast parts of the trip (although not live), and include people in the day-to-day in as many ways as possible. The first step in that process is the Kickstarter project “My Best Khaki Pants – a mini book“. Benefactors unite!
It’s an interesting experiment actually. Now I’m the product. The brand. How do I approach my own campaign? I’ll be trying a lot of things these next couple of months, and in particular, honing my quick video update process for when I’m out on the road. Feel free to back the project (there are exclusive ‘backer only’ updates), or just follow along with the planning updates at No Direction Known.
Hold on everyone. This is gonna be a ride.

I’m currently working at Ogilvy on Motorola, but in my spare time I’m faffing about with all sorts of arty things I have no business being anywhere near. You know, like making music, and painting, and designing. But I believe an engaged mind is a creative mind, and I’m always looking for ways to keep mine on the hop. I created the Speed Poetry Challenge as a way to get the ol’ brain to stretch outside its comfy little skull. Basically, take a poem written in 5 minutes and over the course of 5 months, create 5 new things inspired by that one poem. I’m currently working on the third piece (of five), but thought I’d post my progress thus far. You can follow all future progress at the Speed Poetry Challenge hub.

Personal project: Zephyr. The Movie.
Filed Under My Blogs, Personal Projects | 2 Comments
When you work in advertising, or any creative field for that matter, your creative powers are greatly influenced by what you do outside of work. You need to create stuff for yourself, then put it out there. Set and forget. That’s why I write the SHNoos, and why I made the following video.
I am not a professional (as the sound quality of my voice over will demonstrate), but I think it showcases something that has influenced me lately. For your viewing and listening pleasure, please enjoy Zephyr, the movie.
