A Manager's Day featuring Toom E. Guci

(Direct link to video - http://youtu.be/fPqBd-x1eys)

I originally shot this in August 2014 for a class in college.  I dropped out of college because college was a complete waste of time.  One year later, I finally sat down and edited this over a 3 day period. 

One thing I think I would have done differently would have been to make this a 720 project instead of a 1080 project.  The footage shot on the 5D would have been downed a bit, but everything else was pixeled to death because I wanted to showcase the 5D :(

Equipment used

 

The Bar In the Sundowner/Cork's Bar in Philip, SD

This bar has been in Sundowner/Cork's for over 40 years.  It came up the Missouri River and Bob Corcoran (Cork) picked it up in Ft. Pierre.  It is rumored to have been around for quite some time before it came up the Missouri from either St. Louis or somewhere in Louisiana.

If you are interested, please email me at sean.b.corcoran@gmail.com. This bar will be available for sale until August 6th, 2015.  Thanks!

Race Drivin' for Sale (SOLD)

****THIS RACE DRIVIN IS NO LONGER UP FOR SALE! THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST!****

This is a Hard Drivin' body with Race Drivin' guts.

My father hauled this machine down to Denver a few years ago to get it fixed.  After it was fixed, it was placed in the back of his bar in Philip, SD and has been there ever since with very little play.  I've played it for about an hour over the last couple days and have no issues with it.

It has had its miles (no pun intended) put in it.  My father had some arcade routes before the home systems put him out of business.  As you can tell from the pictures below, it isn't in the greatest shape cosmetically and doesn't have the signage.

Remember that if you are interested in this game, it is in Philip, SD.  It probably is a long haul from where you are!  It may be worth it to you to nab up one of the somewhat-many that sold!

If you are interested in it, please send me an email at sean.b.corcoran@gmail.com.  We are looking to have this sold as soon as possible.

We have heard of people buying games and having a shipping company come out to handle everything, and that is what we are best interested in.  We are selling this as is and whole - one shot sale.

Thanks for looking!!

Fun Fact about this sign: It has been in there since I put it up in our family's arcade in Pierre, SD in 1998!

Look at all those bugs who lost their lives.

Galaxy Theaters: Green Valley Luxury+ Vs. Regal Cinemas at Sunset Station Casino

When I first heard that a luxury theater was opening next to one of my favorite breweries, Barleys, boy howdy was I pumped.  Beer and a movie? Yes please!

No, do NOT stop the Luxury please!

Gambler's Anonymus: An Independent Public Service Announcement

http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/

 

When I was attending college, I had to shoot a Public Service Announcement.  My co-director, @GaviolaMedia, and I came up with the idea to do it on gambling.

We knew we had to use The Rose for the main role, and we got Kristi for supporting actress.  They did a great job, as you will see in the following PSAs:

(60 Second PSA)

(30 Second PSA)

 

We sent these commercials to Gambler's Anonymous and they never got back to us :(  We didn't think they were too bad for not having a budget!

 

We also thought the best part was the slogan "Don't Bet on Debt".  If anything, we thought we would get a response on that!  But nope!  Oh well, at least we had fun doing these (except the doing-it-for-a-class part....if we would have saved the $3,000 from the class and just invested it in to this commercial who knows what we could have done!)  I can't complain though - I do enjoy the "I Bet I Can Quit" slogan as well.

 

If you like The Rose's performance, make sure to check out this blog post I did on him appearing in some of mine and @GaviolaMedia's work!

You may not know The Rose, but you could some time soon.

Canon Live Learning Vs. a For-Profit College

****I have not attended the Canon Live Learning workshops.  However, the price alone tells me that you will save tons of time and money and probably learn a lot more in one of their 4 hour sessions than any of my classes I attended at for-profit college I attended.***

Look at the prices for the classes at Canon in San Francisco:  http://www.learn.usa.canon.com/live_learning/cll_sanfran/canon_live_learning_san_francisco.shtml

The group classes are $49 for a 4 hour session.  A photography class when I attended The Art Institute of Las Vegas was about $131 for a 4 hour session.
