ANATOMY OF A PRODUCTION: Hummingbirds, Magic in the Air
Nature/Thirteen (Premiere Screening)
Hummingbirds represent one of nature’s most interesting paradoxes: they are the tiniest of birds, yet they qualify as some of the toughest and most energetic creatures on the planet. New knowledge gained from scientists currently making great breakthroughs in hummingbird biology makes this a perfect time to focus on these shimmering, flashing jewels of the natural world. Stunningly beautiful high-definition, high speed footage of hummingbirds in the wild combined with high-tech presentations of their remarkable abilities help us to understand the world of hummingbirds as we never have before.
Original Sound Design and Sound Edit by Brian Beatrice, it will have its television premiere on WNET/Thirteen 0n January 10th, 2009.

I finally got around to posting my interactive sound experiment from last month’s Bionic party. I think this yielded some remarkable, if sometimes haunting, results. Thanks to all for participating and I’m sorry you can’t enjoy it in its surround sound glory as it was originally presented. I guess you’ll just have to come by Bionic for another go at it for that. I cut it down to CD length because I know you’ll all want to download it and burn it for your discman. Anyone needing 45 minute cutdowns for the cassette walkman, let me know, but just remember; Metal Type II, Dolby NR – OFF!.
Enjoy (…or not. You know I never make it easy for you)! Click the link below.

May 16th – Best of Festival screening at the Wilma Theatre – “The Legend of Pale Male”
32nd International Wildlife Film Festival
Global Vision: Wild in Focus
May 9-16, 2009
Posted in: Bionic, Recent Projects
Next Saturday, April 25th, there will be the premiere screening of the documentary, the Legend of Pale Male, at the Greenwich Audubon Society. I’ve been working my butt off on the film since January and it will receive the 2009 Best of Festival award at the International Wildlife Film Festival in Missoula, Montana in May. The film chronicles a Belgian filmmaker’s near obsession with a red-tailed hawk that “moves” to NYC, its established residence on Mary Tyler Moore’s esteemed building and the lives it affects in Central Park, NYC and the birding community.
There are 2 screenings; 4pm and 6pm. It is free but a $10 donation is suggested. If all goes well this week, I expect to NOT be there!
