Blogosphere,
I would like to start by formally apologizing for being MIA for so many weeks. In the grand scheme that is life I should have placed the blog on a higher plain of importance.
So; what's new in the life of Nonberg?
I think the biggest thing was this January I climbed to 19,340 feet (above sea level, I think this depth below sea level is hell) to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. I would post pictures, but I am currently in the process of editing together a video of my ascent and will post that to the blog shortly.
I think the coolest thing about the ascent was the use of this bad boy.
That is the new panasoic Uni-Body 3D camera. We were the first students of Chapman or any other film school l to film a documentary in 3D. It will premiere in April. For the most part, 3D is shot with a 3D rig consisting of one camera face up and the other one upside down. The two "eyes" are then edited together to create the convergence for a 3D image.
As far as the camera we used, the $20,000 pro sumer Panasonic is intended for documentaries and movies that can't afford one of the more expensive two-camera rigs.
If anything, I have become a super techno-file recently and am really fascinated by 3D. I don't think it will really "save the industry" but it is certainly an interesting fad that will be around for at least a couple more years.
I could go into far more detail about the ascent, but I think I will let the video do the talking and showing.
The other big thing is the introduction of the newest member of "the ocho" This Sunday I am heading to the pound to adopt a dog. I have been doing a lot of thinking and I think having a dog would be a really good addition to my life. Elliot's fish sound incredible by the way.
With that said. I want to know what kind of names you guys think up. Try to think about names for both sexes as I don't exactly know which one I'll get.
Lastly, I am running the LA marathon in March and doing an Iron Man in July. This is a big year for me in terms of athletic events and will certainly keep you guys posted. As the weeks continue I will be sure to blog more. I am looking forward to brocating with all of you.
Now if you will excuse me, Teen Mom is On.
