A series of pop-up art shows this morning with ongoing installations, you may still be able to see some of the artifacts of guerilla museum “The Corridor Project” and their first exhibit “Walk on By” today.
This is a performance of Burt Bacharach and Hal David, performed by Eugene Snowden of The Legendary JCs fame.
The students of Thornton Park’s Howard Middle School got into the act as well with a choreographed dance number:
I came across this video while browsing a new website for the self-appointed Orlando Design District. Several people I know work at these design-related businesses in the Ivanhoe Village / Mills 50 area. I suppose that giving something a name and a fancy website goes a long way toward people believing it is real.
One of the businesses in the area is Mama’s Sauce, which has an almost “second coming”-level reputation in Orlando. This documentary was put together by Kellie and Nicholas some time last year, and is featured on the Mama’s Sauce website.

Mama's Sauce is a boutique print shop striving to keep tradition alive. Their work in the areas of letterpress and screen printing are what led us to them. We quickly came to find out that the way they do their work is as visually appealing as the prints themselves, lucky us. Shoppe owner, Nick Sambrato, walks us through their world as we make residence with them for days on end, and what our camera's captured show that there isn't a square inch of a traditional print shop lacking in visual appeal. Enjoy!
If you're interested in working with Nick and his team, you can learn more about them and their work here:

I found Miguel Reyes because he is doing work for video training site Treehouse – clearly he either attended FullSail or worked there at some point. I will never stop being baffled by how one designs beautiful things, let alone beautiful things that move. Keep up the good work, dude.

The Winter Park Harvest Festival is an annual event with a bevvy of events all around local food – John Rife is the organizer, and he recently did a commercial with Constant Contact, the email guys.
I also know that John is teaming up with Winter Garden to do some food events over there.

I came across local photog Jessica Castro after a series of links – kickstarter pages, a local UCF grad, Jessica had shot her and posted to flickr, a poster image from this video linking to Jessica’s Vimeo account and this video. Sort of the “six degrees” way I find many of the videos for this blog. I really love the aesthetic. And as much depth-of-field blur as we see these days, I think it actually worked here.

Parting thought: while I really enjoy the handheld feel, I wonder if a little bit of manual stabilization, such as a $15 Steadycam could have helped.
Food Truck Wars from Suzie Vigon on Vimeo.
Quoting Anjali Fluker from the Orlando Business Journal blog: Food Truck Wars debuts in Oviedo this March
Food Truck Wars, which will be at the Oviedo Mall on March 31, will feature all the delicious dishes and treats prepared by participating trucks along with a beer and wine garden, live music and a silent auction, whose proceeds will benefit local charities. The event, sponsored by the mall and the city of Oviedo, is free, but food and drink will be for sale.
As part of the fun, a video featuring Louie’s Bistro owner Luis Colon, the Country Chuck Wagon owner Larry Long and Oviedo Mayor Dominic Persampiere promises fun galore at the inaugural event.
I recently noticed a link to “the Arts Hotel” on the United Arts of Central Florida page on Facebook. I was instantly curious. I found this video:
Faith Arts Village Orlando is a ministry of Park Lake Presbyterian Church that provides a place where the faith community and local artists can work together to share their gifts of inspiration, beauty, and spiritual expression to promote peace, understanding, and well-being in the larger community.
As a ‘village’ it will emphasize the activity and integration of many constituents: local artists, church members, community patrons, schools, and civic groups. The Faith and Arts Village may include:
- Studio space for artists
- Green and exhibit space for community gathering
- Meeting and classroom space
- Gallery space
- Open air markets
- Outdoor performance space
- Cafe space for refreshments
- Office space for administration
- Possible future residential space for designated guests
- Mission outreach through the arts
- Encouraging art as an expression of faith
The Orlando Film Festival has been around for… almost 7 years now. They started with a few screenings at CityArts Factory and DMAC (Avalon Island) with the promise of moving the the new Plaza Cinema, which took years to open, though it was on the books and mostly built out their first year. Now it is growing into a great event showcasing Downtown Orlando, which we could honestly use more of. Not as large or well-established as their spring counterpart hosted by Enzian, but still a fun and enriching event.

I know Marlon and Jeff of Snapwell Films from their involvement in Urban ReThink – they even produced a promotional video to help us out.
I saw someone who was apparently pro-TeaParty post this video to a blog because he was proud that someone roughed up these three girls… I don’t think anyone should be proud of that. I definitely don’t have all of the backstory, but it seems like they had something to say against the speaker, a Tea Party supporter from Arizona, Sherrif Joe Arpaio. According to Wikipedia, “Arpaio has become a flashpoint for controversy surrounding Arizona’s SB1070 anti-illegal immigration act.”
The person who posted this on his YouTube channel is a Jason W Hoyt, who claims to be one of the “founding fathers” of the Tea Party Movement.
