Must See TV: i-Caught on ABC TV

I watched the coolest new show on TV last night (Tues. 9 pm CT):  i-Caught.  It shows interesting video clips captured by everyday people.  Most of the clips shown were taken from You Tube. One video clip was taken by someone on an African safari.  It showed a baby water buffalo and how it survived being attacked by lions and an alligator and how the herd came back to rescue it! 

  Other clips included "first dances" by wedding couples (I have some wedding couples who do some great first dances!).   Perhaps they are inspired by "Dancing With The Stars".   These orchestrated "first dances" really spice up their wedding video and you get some great crowd reaction as well.    TV shows like these emphasize how important "video" is and how it captures live events in a way that a "still photo" can't.  You can watch some of these featured videos on the i-caught website.  The show is slated for a six-week run, but I hope it becomes a regular series.

Elegant Videos by Kris featured on Fox News Chicago

A wedding couple of mine, Eric & Suzanne Ringbauer, were featured on a Fox News TV Segment called "Memorable Wedding Moments" on Tuesday, May 29 on the 9 pm news.   The memorable moment featured Eric's cell phone ringing during the wedding ceremony!  Suzanne couldn't help but laugh, as Eric tried to ignore it.    I'll try and post the news clip once I get it off of the HD Recorder.

See the list of all videographers featured. 

It was pretty cool that three out of the four videographers featured were members of the Illinois Videographers Association - IVA - including Keith Anderson of All-Occasions Video and Paul Meyers of AzureIXMedia and myself (of course).   

What I Tivo: Discovery Channel series - Planet Earth

Currently I am recording the new Discovery Channel series, Planet Earth on "Discovery Channel HD Theater".  This is an 11-part series, which focuses on different parts of our planet.  This footage was shot with High-Def cameras and looks amazing on our 50" HD Plasma TV!!  It even "sounds" cool since we have surround sound and a sub-woofer.   This is a great show and we watch it together as a family - it's educational, yet entertaining.  You won't believe some of the footage you see.  I liked it when they showed "how" the filmmakers captured the footage with the HD cameras.

After watching the Al Gore documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, I'm certainly more concerned about our planet.   If you think "global warming" is a myth, just watch this DVD.   It's quite eye-opening!
