I must say I’m very excited to finally be able to “officially” announce that my GlobeDoc “The Man Behind The Log” has been selected for the hotDOCS film festival in Toronto this May. I was joking with my wife the other night that I was know a “Filmmaker” and not a “Visual Journalist” anymore.
From the hotDOCSÂ selection committee:
The hotDOCS selection committee was very impressed with the mix of stills, video and audio to tell a compelling story in John Lehmann’s “The Man Behind The Log”. Committee members also felt the filmmaker showed a high level of sensitivity and compassion, director John Lehmann weaves a heart-wrenching portrait of a man living a doomed but creative existence.

Possible NNA Entries
So I sent the day trying to figure out the best slideshow program for WordPress with many failed attempts. I think I’ve finally settled on Shadowbox JS. The WordPress plugin is not prefect but it does the job nicely. I figured since I went to all this trouble I might as well put a slideshow together. These are a few of the images from the past year I’m think of entering in the National News Paper Awards. -JJLÂ ***Now it seems not to be working*** Update: got it working. seem to have a conflict between two plugins.

A Beachcomber Adrift
So I’ve had my grubby little hands a Canon 5D mark II for the past two weeks and have shot a number of still assignments and have now just completed a multimedia piece with the little beauty. I must say I couldn’t be more thrilled with the camera. Is it perfect? no, but the camera’s short comings are greatly out weighted by what it can do.
A few facts about the video.
The interview or “A roll” was shot with the Canon AH X1
The rest of the video or “B roll” I used the 5D
I spent four hours shooting the video and about day and a half editing
The still images were shot with a 1D Mark III and the 5D II
