Dell Rugged Tablet 2 - Baydelta Maritime

This is one of my productions at Dell that I'm the most proud of.  It wasn't the biggest budget, but it was a stellar and small team, working with an amazing customer.  Baydelta Maritime granted us full access to their crew for 3 days.  We flew drones, played captain, and told a great story.  

Baydelta Maritime chose Latitude 7212 Rugged Extreme Tablets because in the high traffic and harsh conditions of the San Francisco Bay, failure is unacceptable.

Dell Gaming Upper Funnel

I produced this, and coming soon, a number of versions for an upper funnel campaign to showcase Dell's gaming hardware lineup.

Yesterday, my video is playing on the YouTube.com masthead and as of this morning it has over 4 million views!

This production was a large scale coordination.  We worked with Anonymous Content from LA and Director John X. Carey and Jason McCormick as our Director of Photography.  Leslie Owen was our Producer from Anonymous and she was so awesome.  Local production in Mexico City was facilitated by Spectrum Films Mexico.  Custom music was composed by Justin Tapp of Group Therapy. Post Production was handled by Cut + Run and they couldn't have been better to work with.  

Check out our production in Mexico City.

We have more Dell Gaming spots rolling out and I will be adding them here.  

Don't just play.  Game.

The Ross Boys on the Zilker Zephyr

This weekend was so nice, I decided to take the boys to Zilker, right when we got there the train was pulling away.  

None of us had risen it before, so we hopped on.  Thatcher wanted to be a big boy and refused to sit in my lap, only on the seat like his big brother.  He even kept pushing my arm and hand away when I wrapped it around him.

Arlo's biggest concern was if there would be a tunnel.  He loved fearing the thing.  Think it was related to a Planes scene where Dusty tries to fly through a tunnel and nearly head ons a train. 

An impromptu stop at Zilker landed us on the Zephyr for their first time. Wish I had my GoPro, but the iPhone will have to do;)

Happy First Birthday Thatcher

As my wife says, Thatcher karate chopped the door to life down a year ago today.  It's been a hell of a year.  Check out some of the ups and downs of Thatcher's first year.  Stick around to the end to find out if he walks or not. 

Happy 70th Birthday Dad!

Nearly the entire family came to celebrate Dad's 70th birthday party. A good time was had by all! Much love Dad!

Hiking the Greenbelt

This spring has been extremely wet, and Arlo and I are taking advantage.  There 's a great little spot in the Greenbelt and the water is the perfect depth for Arlo right now.  I was able to let him play on his own without too much concern.  He is getting confident in the water.

A great little hike down into the Greenbelt proves fun for Arlo. Love the spring when there is flowing water down there! Perfect for him at 2.5 years old.

Broke My Bone

Watch the story of how Arlo fractured the first bone of his life at age 2.  

Arlo and I explain what happened when Arlo thought he could fly by using the magic words, Yo Gabba Gabba.

Wheeling with Austin Jeep People

Austin Jeep People are good people.  They'll help you up a problem, wench you out, or help you change a flat in the backcountry.  I've learned all that first hand, and I've only been out with them twice! 

Check out the video of us over Labor Day Weekend at Hidden Falls Adventure Park during the 4 Wheel Parts Rally.
