About Me: Hello! I'm a nature videographer and editor, creator of the Backyard Feeder Project and landGulls projects, among others ~

The Backyard Feeder Project is the trials and tribulations of a special feeder platform I made and how animals react to it... Confused?? It's 1-4 cameras, motorized pan heads, LANC controllers, microphones, etc., looking at food stuffed into holes in a piece of foam that's stuffed into a bag, which is then stapled to a wooden "platform" that gets nailed in the ground -- kind of like... well, "bear-proofing" a sofa... but "squirrel-sized"! ~ The remoteness of the setup lets me get video of animals running, fighting, sitting and eating at close (and far) range and shots of them clawing, pecking, digging and tearing at the project "mat" to get the food inside... No, the animals don't eat the foam! And yes -- it's strange.

The landGulls project is my other main video project featuring the local Ring-Billed Gulls. It's my way of (hopefully) showing that gulls aren't all "rats with wings"... Seriously. Why "landGulls"? Because there is no such thing as a "seagull" - the birds are actually just "gull." So, because they're in parking lots and such, they become "landgulls"...

More information on both of the projects (and many more -- and much LONGER -- videos) are on my website ~ http://www.gullswingmedia.com
