Happy New Year, welcome to 2009. That’s right, it’s 2009. Yes, 2009, not 2008, but 2009. Nine, the number 9 is fun. I remember 1999, not like it was yesterday, but like, well, something that can be remembered.

Anyhow, pointless typing and reading aside, I’m welcoming in the new year with this reel, a new website, and a new post. (That you’re reading right now.)

I hope you all had a great 2008, and of course, are looking forward to a fantastic new year. Keep an eye out for some things to come, things I’m sure you’ll be as excited to see as I. Otherwise, enjoy!

Check it out on Vimeo or Youtube, so you can watch it in HD. Conveniently, it’s also available on my new site under the video section!

So I haven’t been able to update as frequently as I wish. I’ve been a busy bee. Work has pushed me over my limit, and I’ve had very little free time.

However, I have had time to buy camera equipment and use it for work.

I’ve produced a ton of things here, but nothing that are my own personal products, or that I really feel represent my own creative abilities.

• Ian “the show”, which will be coming soon. I haven’t started producing it yet, but I have been storyboarding a few ideas and will update everything and everyone when that happens.

  

• Epic Sqrl.
  A fun site devoted to squirrel enthusiasts, or cute animal lovers. It’s a simple little tumblog that allows people to submit videos and pictures of squirrels around the country. So check it out if you like them, and of course, send in your photos, videos, etc. If you’d like to be a member, reply, email me, message me, and I’ll be sure to add you to the group.

For now, just sit tight, this isn’t much more than information. I have more in my head, but not actually produced. If you want to keep up with my daily antics, be sure to check out my constantly updated tumblog, iansanity.

This week for the Web 2.0 Expo, we were lucky enough to have an advertising spot broadcast over Times Square in New York City.

Look Ma, I’m on TV!

Some of you may know that I recently bought a Panasonic HVX200. This camera is as amazing as people have always said. I am so excited to own such a beautiful piece of machinery.

Previously, I owned a Sony V1U, and compared to this, that camera is a complete joke. Don’t get me wrong, the V1U is still quite pretty, but not compared to this monster.

Here are a few samples of footage from the first few days of owning it.
