New York Restoration Project Seed Saving with Jason Grauer

I joined Jason Grauer, Crops and Seeds Director at Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture, and NYRP’s Urban Agriculture Team to learn the guiding principles of seed breeding and seed saving. The hands-on workshop included explanations and demonstration of what gardeners can do late in the growing season to save their own seeds for the year to come.

Behind the Scenes on a video shoot in New York City

I’ve been working on small video projects for the New York Restoration Project this year. It’s been fun to learn some new skills and get the sound, lighting and editing part under control. Here you can see I’m using a Profoto light for a bit of fill on the subjects face, but also a profoto light and umbrella to keep my camera and interviewer dry. Sometimes you can’t decide which shoot day is best, and you’ve got to make the beat of a bad weather day.

Working on more Video Projects

I’ve been shooting videos for clients for a couple of years, but often I’m handing over the editing or not being completely involved in all aspects of production. This is my first full shoot and edit solo and I’m pretty happy with the result. Theres definitely more work to be done and more learning always, but thats the joy of learning new skills. With my drone footage and a couple of well placed mics, I think it all came together pretty well.
