Did you know that the Brooklyn Bridge is 130 years old today? I recently worked on some 3D animation of the bridge with hscusa.tv for the History Channel. Check it out!
I also helped set a RecordSetter world record last year on the Brooklyn Bridge - “World’s Largest Rainbow Parade”. (video here)
My friends at RecordSetter were on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night. Check out the awesome records that were set.
The list is out!
With a ton of input from the RecordSetter community (thanks to all who voted), our team at HQ has assembled the most creative, exciting and extraordinary human achievements set this past year. Choosing the list was painfully difficult. Many outstanding records didn’t make the list. That said, without further ado…
My good friends over at RecordSetter just released their new iOS app in the App Store. Go check it out!
Currently doing a happy dance. Why? Our new app for iPhone and iPod is now available for FREE in the iTunes store. Search “RecordSetter” on your device or click here to download.
Ok, last post about the Rainbow Parade. I cut this video together for Team RecordSetter for the official World Record page. Enjoy!

World’s Largest Rainbow Parade - This is what I’ll be doing today. Woot!
See you tomorrow. I’ll be dressed in yellow.
Join us this Saturday! RSVP here.
I had the privilege of screening the film One Day on Earth at the United Nations General Assembly last night with my good friends at Record Setter. I was there to film while Team Record Setter officiated a new record for “Largest Global Film Premiere”. This film was screened at the same time in more than 160 countries around the world.
One Day on Earth was compiled from footage shoot on 10/10/10. With more than 3000 hours of footage, they created some great storylines touching on every facet of the human experience; birth and death, love and sorrow, the natural world around us.
It was fantastic. It’s one that everyone should see to really appreciate that we are not just citizens of countries, but we are all citizens of the world. There’s much more that unites us than divides us. Check out the film’s site to find out about the next film compiled from footage shot on 11/11/11. I look forward to it.
(I was blown away from actually sitting in the UN General Assembly. It’s a place that’s almost frozen in time, the 60s. Check out this panorama I captured just before the screening.)
April is a busy month! While I can’t make all the events I want to, I’m excited to be participating in two huge ones later this month.
The first is the Find & Follow Your Passion Conference on April 21st, hosted at SVA by the amazing meet up group, NY Creative Interns. This is going to be an awesome event. I’ll be running a livestream feed of several of the panels. More details to come as the event gets closer.
The other event is World’s Largest Rainbow Parade! A RecordSetter Attempt w/ Jessi Arrington, part of RecordSetter’s World Record Day on April 28th. This is sure to be an interesting mix of crazy and colorful people marching from DUMBO, Brooklyn to Manhattan by way of the Brooklyn Bridge. Will be an incredible sight.
One event that I’ll be missing :( - the 2012 UCF Visual Language Gala/Premiere. While I visited UCF’s Center for Emerging Media on Monday, I got a chance to see the two new films, Box Forts and Flower Story. Whoa, these films are really good! While I can’t be there on the actual day, I’ll be ordering the DVD for sure. Great job to the senior class!
Tonight I attended the kick-off screening of Record Set Go, a new web series produced by my friends at RecordSetter.com. If you’ve never heard of RecordSetter, it’s an online database of world records, similar to Guinness. The twist is that anyone can set ANY record with the appropriate evidence. Quick SAT flashback for you — RecordSetter is to Guinness as Wikipedia is to Encyclopedia Britannica. It’s a crowd sourced collection of some of the most impressive and weirdest records you will ever see.
Anyway, Record Set Go looks like it’s going to be a pretty fun show to watch. The hosts of the show, Billy Disney and Ryan DeNardo, were at the screening and talked a little bit about why they’re doing the show and what’s in store for future episodes. Every show, they attempt to break an existing record or set a new record. Records so far include “Most Dogs Kissed in 1 Hour” and “Longest Piggyback Rollerblade Ride”. Can’t wait to see what else they come up with.
Also, in true RecordSetter fashion, we set an impromptu record for “Longest Row of Men in Plaid Shirts.” Any challengers?
