On October 14 I and a group of bloggers, media producers and assistant directors sat with Spike Lee to discuss the Nokia Productions Movie. I’ve compiled mostly the questions I asked him and will link to the other interviews that I’ve found from the other folks who attended the event. Here is the interview.
It was really nice of Spike to sit down with us for the time he did. He was nice but you could tell he was tired of the interview circuit. The movie itself isn’t half bad, I was disappointed in how long it was or that no actual footage of mine was included but I did get my name in the credits. So that was cool.
I would like to thank WOM World for sending me out to California 2 times for this whole thing, that was really awesome.
Also the WOM World site is up with all the videos, there you can select from options on the Right of the screen to see the different videos. Check out Take Your Seats.
I learned about the Start Wearing Purple project that Yahoo! is doing. It is pretty amazing and I need to win this contest and get my very own Purple Pedals Bike. I read through the site and entered the contest for a Purple Pedals bike of my very own. It would be so awesome to have one too.
The Project is pretty amazing. The purple bikes are made by Electra and they are the Townies model. Between the Handlebar there is a box with a camera inside. The camera takes a photo every 60 seconds when the bike is in motion. That in itself is pretty sweet but it also geotags the image and sends it directly to Flickr. Amazing! The bikes also have solar panels to charge and to power the cameras. I watched all the videos on the project as well as some of the bike rides that were done. It sounds amazing and I certainly want to be a part of this. So I entered the Purple Pedals contest. Check out the intro video.
