  • Cindy, I would love to pick your brain about the revolution in video communications that we're all a part of.. the fact that someone like Gary or myself can make network-quality entertainment with a relatively low amount of money... and then broadcast to anyone in the world via Vimeo or non-traditional channels like the Roku box.

    It's exciting, these revolutions have already happened in print and audio media... the video revolution is underway.

    Gary, crazy cool. That lady is a trip and I dig her apartment. A little bit of trouble hitting marks with focus on the 5D in handheld mode, did you guys have a viewfinder, that helps. Doesn't really matter because it works with the whole crazy cool style of the video. To sum it up, content is kind and I just enjoyed it. Good job.

    Hi Steve,
    We were rushing a bit with the hand held stuff toward the end. We had no external monitor that day -- so viewing the shots through the 5D monitor was easier for me, the director -- BUT when/if I get my own dslr I will definitely get one and it will be a Z-finder.
    Thanks for watching and the kind words.

    Wow! Strong portrait. And absolutely the right pace. Love it (and the strong subject living there).
  • gary nadeau plus 2 years ago
    Thanks Marcus. It's easy (maybe "easier" is a better word) when you have strong subjects like Cindy.

    Gary, you always open a window into a new world for me with these vignettes, making you my official horizon broadener. Inspired work by Stefan on the space, and cool tunes as well.

    Congratulations Gary. This video is very well directed and Cindy's house is amazing.
    I mean, I enjoyed the interview not only for the house and getting to know a little more about Cindy Gallop, but also for your brilliant work.
  • gary nadeau plus 2 years ago
    Thank you, Alice. That was very nice of you.

  • gary nadeau plus 2 years ago
    Thanks, Scott - Don't forget to paint ceilings too!

    Really entertaining! I like the Ymca history thats pretty funny. The music is perfect.
  • gary nadeau plus 2 years ago
    I couldn't resist those YMCA village people shots.

  • really cool piece! hope all is well :)
  • gary nadeau plus 1 year ago
    Thanks! You too.

  • Not very kid friendly but I like the space for adults.
  • gary nadeau plus 1 year ago
    I don't think that's a problem.
  • Cindy Gallop 1 year ago
    Heh heh. Have no children, never wanted them, adore other people's - have 3 nieces, 3 nephews, 4 god-daughters and 1 godson and that does me just fine - so as Gary says that tends not to be an issue :)
  • gary nadeau plus 1 year ago
    My kids would have a field day in your space. What a cool place for a kid to discover!
  •  
  • I should tell you my first reaction was: what a cool place to hang out with friends and other artists!

    Then my mommy instinct kicked in an thought: not very kid friendly.

    My 3 year old would love the armadillo. My 18 month old daughter would be like Godzilla in there crashing everything to the floor and I would be devasted because it's such an interesting and personal environment.

    Hope this sounds better than my last comment. You're a good sport not to mention a unique and original interior designer.
