This evening I watched “Planet Earth” made by the BBC, now I’m getting inspired for my next filming trip. I will be shooting a promotional film for Safari Direct ( http://www.safaridirecttz.com ) in the Northern Tanzania safari circuit Jan 2011. I’m looking forward to seeing the animals and landscape of the Serengeti, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and Ngorongoro Crater once again.

I’ve completed the website for Karama Lodge and Spa here in Arusha, Tanzania. It’s a beautiful Eco lodge with comfortable and rustic cabins set on the edge of a mountain. I spent several days there doing photography for the site, enjoying the atmosphere, and delicious cuisine! http://www.KaramaLodge.com

This year Adventist Health System Africa is focusing on helping the clinics and health centers in Tanzania, two are located on the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba which are just off the mainland. The other three clinics that are in Dar es Salaam and Arusha. These medical establishments are to be pillars of health and healing in the communities they serve. Please contact us and see how you can change the lives of people in Tanzania through the work of AHS Africa. http://www.AHSAfrica.org

I just finished up the new website for Tropical Trails Safaris. My photographs are featured throughout the site. http://www.TropicalTrails.com This coming December I will be filming for Tropical Trails in the Serengeti National Park, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manya National Park, and Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

I just finished the Kids “R” Kids Daycare and Preschool website. They are located in Njiro in Arusha Tanzania Africa. Check out some of the photos I shot of the adorable happy children. :) http://www.TheKidsRKids.com/

I finished the SED Adventures Tours and Safaris video today. This video includes the cultural tourism element of the pygmy bushmen preparing poisoned arrows for a hunt, the women collecting roots to eat, and pygmy music on instruments they made. A look at the lovely lake Eyasi. A breathtaking panoramic view of Ngorongoro Crater. A Black Rhino up close! A Hippo fight, and a look at Lake Manyara National Park.

Upcoming filming project for WorldServe / Angel Missions will include Brad Pitt and Kiefer Sutherland. 50 famous actors and actresses will climb Kilimanjaro and donate money for one water well each here in Tanzania! I start filming in May to promote the charity event!

The actual climb will take place Jan 2011. This May I will do some interviews of the president of WorldServe / Angel Missions as well as local organizers. Then some establishing shots of Kilimanjaro, equipment, guides, etc… After that I will likely know more the extent of my part in Jan, I hope to get to go with the group. Kinda be cool to get to hike and film some very famous people! I’ll post more info when I know more. :)

Check out the latest videos I made for Victoria Expeditions. Spent a week filming in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire. There are three parts; Safari Tours, Hotels and Lodges, and Elephant River Rescue! The Elephant River Rescue is my favorite, I hope you like them. :) http://www.VictoriaTZ.com

Just bought a new Dell XPS Studio 16 with the i7-720QM 1.6GHz Quad Core Processor, Full HD 1920×1080 WLED LCD, 500GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive, 8GB 1333Mhz RAM, ATI Mobility RADEON HD 4670 – 1GB video card, Soundblaster X-Fi Hi Def Audio, and WiFi Advanced N with WiMax!

With this computer upgrade I will be able to easily edit my films in full 1920×1080 High Definition as well as cut down the rendering time significantly. I’m always looking for was to increase my skills, the quality of the product, and the efficiency of the artistic process.

This week I will finish my work on editing the promotional videos for Victoria Expeditions and SED Adventures Tours and Safaris. While filming for both of these companies I really enjoyed the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park, Tarangire National Park, Lake Eyasi, and the pygmy bushmen who live near Lake Eyasi. I will post both videos next week on the “Videography” page of the MediaAid.org website. I hope that you will enjoy them. :)
