Work Work: CSR

it’s been a while since i’ve updated.  my time has been taken up by my new job at the CSR.  in two weeks, i’ve spent precisely 70.01 hours working on various computer-related things.  it’s mostly programming work, and i’ve been improving a web application that organizes research data.  work has been challenging, and i’m learning a lot.  my boss is awesome, and what’s even better is that he used to work for young life.  so if i need to leave work a half hour early to have a bbq with my young life buddies, he’s totally cool with it.  how can i ask for a better boss?

NursingHomes.com Website Design Contest

since i’ve been entering t-shirt design and video contests, i thought, “Gee Nehemiah, since you’re a freelance web designer, why don’t you enter web design contests?”  and so i responded, “Dude!  That’s a great idea.  Man, you’re so smart.”  so Googled the idea, and viola!  found a contest with a $1500 prize.  after maybe 7 hours, i handed in my entry.  check it out!

American Pie: The Naked Mile

for the entire summer, i’ve seen this crew filmmaking crew running all over downtown toronto.  first they set up shop outside a nearby house down the block, with lights, cranes, gels on the windows, etc.  i had no clue what was going on, nor whether it was a music video or a full-length movie.  then i see them parked outside a big field in the heart of the university of toronto, setting up a concert stage for a mock concert.  i also see these really old-school cop cars parked next to the field.  i walked by all the trailers where the stars stayed and the portable makeup studios, and my best guess was that a music video was being shot.  a mock concert probably means a music video right?

The Sunset Blues Commentary

the whole point of the video was to inspire youth to utilize media in Christian ministry.  the video was made with materials that could be found around the house, such as skateboards and desklamps, and the software i used was all free.  my main editing program was Avid FreeDV, and for some particular effects, i used iMovie (which isn’t free, but Windows Movie Maker is).  all the DIY equipment and free software was used to tell the youth, “You can do it too!”  so on to some more light-hearted stuff, such as what went on in the shoot.

video: The Sunset Blues (short film)

some friends and i shot this to promote a media workshop that i’ll be hosting at a chinese church in Toronto.  the goal was to create an impressive video with some makeshift equipment, namely skateboards, microphone boom stands, and even a 60 watt desklamp holding a 250 watt bulb.  it was quite an adventure, with rushed shots because the sunset was going away, and lack of power because nearby power outlets didn’t work.  near the end, we had to switch to our other video camera, which was shooting behind-the-scenes footage.  but we got it done, and after a day of editing, this 2-minute short is up and running.  enjoy!

Oilers Stay for Another Game


Oilers win game 5!

So this is how superstitions are created… the Oilers score a shorthanded goal in overtime to win, 4-3.  they will return to Edmonton for game 6, still continuing to fight for their survival.  man, i should be a sportswriter!

i felt so old school listening to the game on the radio because my TV reception was too bad to watch anything.  of course, it wasn’t really the radio, it was internet radio, which is old school enough.  i could identify with the people in the great depression huddled around their cabinet radios listening to some music or an address from the president.  it was kinda neat!

gotta get back to watching the post-game press conference.

Go Oilers


this post is dedicated to helping the oilers win game 5.  i believe that by posting here, i will open up telephathic pathways to the hockey gods and be able to tap into their power to enable victory.

Scottish Celeidh (sans alcohol)


traditionally, a celeidh involves lots of drinking.  but this was a church fundraiser

last saturday, i visited my friend jim chen’s new church, and they were hosting a scottish celeidh with a jamaican twist to raise money for an upcoming youth mission trip.  boy, was i in for a treat!  first, jim lent me his canon rebel xt digital SLR camera to use, so i got some really awesome shots.  second, i was free to shoot the entire event, so i got some sweet pics for my portfolio.  third, i got free food.  fourth, i met some really cool youth.  oh yeah, and fifth, i got to see a chinese guy wearing a kilt!

video: Nehemiah Interviews Nehemiah

although i made this clip to be a promotional item for my youth group back in hong kong, i thought it was interesting enough to share with the rest of you.  please excuse the audio quality as this was filmed on my 3.0 megapixel Olympus digital camera (which i happen to like very much because it performed quite well).

The University of Toronto

this is the University of Toronto School, one of the best high schools in Toronto, and also the school of some of my friends from Richmond Hill Chinese Community Church.  the school happens to be located a 5 minute walk from my house, which is kind of neat.  this school is part of the university of toronto, where i am now an official visiting student.  i have the student card and everything, and just today i changed my facebook account so that my primary network is at the university of toronto.  when facebook changes, it’s official!  so it’s kinda neat being at a giant university that is quite different from tiny calvin college.

I Got the Summer Job!

i just received the big news from the Calvin Center for Social Research (CSR) today.  i’ll be working for them when i return from colorado in mid-july.  it’s such a great position, and i can’t wait to begin.  i’ll be handling a lot of the aesthetics and layout for various projects.  the projects can be booklets all the way to web design.  it’ll be a great way for me to touch up my design skills and expand into new territory.  i have never designed a booklet before, so i’m psyched to make one.  the closest thing i’ve made is a camp pamphlet, and that was a simple black and white job.  now i’ll get to design statistical booklets, which will go straight into the hands of the CSR’s clients.  and there may be some web projects i can work on, which would be great practice if i ever work with web developers.  they can develop all the code, and i can pretty it up in a nice layout.  ah, this is so exciting, i can’t wait to start!
