Press Release – Blog88.org October Issue

by SK-B | Media

I apologize to everyone who woke early on the 1st to check your screen, disappointed that the Blog88.org October Issue was not up. Well, it is still October, and here it is!

Articles by Phoebe Sparrow Wagner in each of the first two issues was a hard act to follow. Phoebe had set a world-class standard. Following an Olympic Gold Medalist long distance runner, we will be happy to amble in her footsteps, enjoying the stroll. I think we ended up with a very nice issue. There is a lovely piece by amazing Justin Cabral. In a uniquely unencumbered style, with 83 exuberant words, Cabral extols an array of 40 things which bring him joy. The October Issue also features an Ask The Broker column, titled, “Black Swans.” And there is more.

Crowdsourced Cinema VT’s Production of Jurassic Park

by cgrotke | Media
musearts team scene 6

I thought I’d share the scene we did for Crowdsourced Cinema VT’s production of Jurassic Park, now viewable on BCTV and other streaming places.

35 teams of Vermonters participated, and were each assigned scenes from the film randomly. Ours was the scene where they first arrive on the island and see their first dinosaurs. As you might expect, I chose to do animation. (Others used live action, puppets, animals…)
