National Geographic named Muskoka Cottage Country in Ontario Canada the ‘#1 Best Trip of Summer 2011’ ( http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/best-trips-summer-2011-photos/ ). I’ve been lucky enough to visit this incredible series of lakes and islands formed by some of the oldest rock on the planet many times. Our favorite destination is a somewhat remote old school cabin resort that saw it’s heyday in the 40s. The Arundel Lodge once bustled with activity serving guests staying in tiny cabins from the main lodge with hearty breakfasts, dinners and activities. Now it sits quietly on a tip of Walkers Point as tourists generally moved away from this style of accommodation. I had the opportunity to capture it and nearby Hardy Lake as the last days of the 2011 summer passed into memory. As luck would have it, the sunsets were spectacular every single night we were there.

This wonderful gushing track by Sigur Ros ( Med sud í eyrum ) just seemed to fit the overwhelming beauty of this place like a glove.

5 Year Film Project

Over the last few weeks you may have noticed that things have been slow on the site with updates.  For the the month of January myself along with Sean Fleck from VJ Vault have been in the South West, USA mainly California and Nevada shooting time-lapse footage for  the “5 Year Film Project” from Mt. Airy Films LLC.

The 5 Year Film Project is time-lapse documentary which aims to document the passing of time in our world. Whether it’s the life energy of a bustling city or the awe inspiring landscapes of our planet the 5 Year Film Project will be visual mosaic of our planet.

On the website you can view a 3 minute demo from various locations in Hawaii and the South West, USA featuring sunrises, sunsets, landscapes, star-lapses & cloud formations.

Our last stop had us in Death Valley, California shooting sunsets, epic landscapes in an effort to complete a 30 minute demo.  Here are a few stills.

This is a project of massive proportions and that’s why we will open up the project for user submitted content.  So if you got something you want us to see please feel free to contact us.  Through www.vjloops.tv or www.vjvault.com Sean or myself will be eager to review your footage.  Over the next few months we will iron out the details of the project with a clear and concise plan that will illustrate our production time-line and locations.  We intend to submit the film globally to film festivals and maybe even into a DVD production. Some if not all of the content will be available as stock footage.  More details soon.
