Above is an except from e-learning projects I’ve been editing and shooting for Educational Impact for the past year. They are long-form, often 5-10 hours long, and incorporate interviews, panel discussions, narration, location shooting, illustrations, photographs and titles. They are professional development courses for educators, both administrators and teachers.

Osaka fish market footage

Shots of Osaka’s Central Market are up on Getty Images’ site. The increasingly rare tuna being carved up, expertly, shot in the wee hours of the morning. This place gets going very early. The good thing is happy hour is at about 8am, served with the most delicious and fresh sashimi you can imagine.

My footage of the 2003 blackout in New York City is now online (and for sale) on the Getty Images site. This is some select raw footage from which I edited the short “I’ve never seen you before…”

Korean pickles

Drew — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:33:28 +0000

Osaka has a reputation as a rough, rude, and comical place (Osaka-ben is the chosen dialect by Japan’s comics), not much in step with the image of the cool and reserved Japanese, probably an image that comes from Tokyo more than anyplace else. Within the realm of Japanese food, Osaka reigns the highest. “Kuida-ore” is the word associated with Osaka, literally meaning “goes broke on food”. It debatably serves up the most delicate and sublime flavors in all of Japan.

It is also an historical gateway to Korean culture, which has had a huge impact on what we know as Japanese culture today. This includes food, and if you want to go to the epicenter of Korean culture in Osaka, you must head to Tsuruhashi, a vast and labrynth network of narrow alleyways beneath and surrounding the train station of the same name.

Here is some footage of one of the best Korean pickle stands in Osaka. I used to go there regularly for a bag of standard cabbage variety, and another with pickled dried squid of the same flavor.

I’ll be posting many more videos, food-related and otherwise, from this vibrant and fun-loving city.

Here’s a few videos about Humpback whales that I did for the American Museum of Natural History’s Hall of Ocean Life. They explain how humpback whale research is carried out and are broken down into short subjects that the viewer can access through an interactive display in the Hall.
