Dogsledding & Snowmobiling

January 26, 2012


We have another episode (#13 already!) of Après Adventures.  Ryan and I went up to Breckenridge to go dogsledding & snowmobiling at Good Times Adventures.  This was one of our favorite episodes to make.  Everyone we met was super friendly and passionate about what they do.  The dogs were so much fun and we snowmobiled up to Georgia Pass which had an amazing view, regardless of the snowstorm coming in.  You can watch all of our episodes on Snow.com’s Buzz.  Also, Good Times Adventures retires their dogs after a certain age, so if you’re looking to adopt a Siberian Huskie contact them.  We hope you enjoy this latest adventure and it inspires you to take a trip to Breckridge for your own!

    Hi Megan!

    January 24, 2012

    Well in small news, I changed my website from meganleighsweeney.com to HiMegan.com.  With that comes minor problems so if you notice anything please let me know.  We’re working on updating & getting out all of the glitches.  Thank you so very much to my husband, Brian, for being my official tech guy and transferring my sites.  You can subscribe via E-mail here.  The logo in the video was designed by the extremely talented Anthony Dimitre.  I’m super excited for a new year with many random new adventures to document.

    P.S. the shots below were filmed in San Francisco, New York, France & Colorado.

      Roximity

      January 9, 2012

      I made this video on Roximity for some friends, Danny Newman & Austin Gayer.  They’re super creative entrepreneurs based in Denver/Boulder.  Roximity is one of their latest projects. It’s a new location-based smartphone app that provides real-time deals and specials. Roximity is one of five smartphone apps compatible with Ford’s Sync AppLink.

      Right now Danny & Austin are in Vegas with Ford at CES & unveiled the Roximity app.

        New Adventures

        December 31, 2011

        With the New Year comes everyone’s resolutions. People post them, share them, try to keep them but how many new years goals are kept? According to these statistics: 40 to 45% of American adults make one or more resolutions each year.  After one month 64% of the resolutions are kept.
        I saw this photo posted in Rick Mereki‘s blog.  Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible – Frank Zappa.  Love the message.  So for 2012 I will keep all of my (unwritten) new year’s resolutions & take some risks. I’m imagining all of this in voice over and a musical montage with lots of color, black & white, laughter, action, dancing so please use your imagination because I have run out of time.  Do something you love.  It’s about the journey, not the destination.  Time to really prioritize.  Learn about new music.  Smile.  Laugh.  Think creatively.  Let’s be adventurous. Saying see ya later to my old demo reel (below) and hello to a new year of wild randomness, documented.

         

        Cheers to 2012.

            Après Adventures

            December 26, 2011


            Here are two new episodes of the show Ryan Ross and I are making for Snow.com, Apres Adventures. Due to falling and breaking my foot I couldn’t shoot either show. Instead my extremely modest & talented husband, Brian Sweeney, shot both shows and I edited them. It looks like Brian & Ryan had a few adventures in Breckenridge and Vail. Too bad I missed both snowy cold nights.

            I hope you enjoy these episodes and are inspired to partake in your own apres adventures at Vail Resorts. The logo above is designed by Chase Courington.

              Gift Ideas 2011

              December 22, 2011

              Yep, it’s super late to be posting this but perhaps you’re desperately looking for some last minute gift ideas.
              Trying to keep a video/entertainment theme here it goes:


              Support these wonderful bands!!  You can even buy the tracks on iTunes right now and burn some CDs.  Check out The Autum Film, Rosie & Me, Harper Blynn, and more.

              A class on photography, editing, Photoshop, After Effects, check out the course list locally.  In the Denver/Boulder area you can look into, i.e. Boulder Digital Arts.

              There are a bunch of books, above, Do More Faster (check out page 229), The Dragonfly Effect, La Tour de 300 Metres, Crave but with your city, a James Balog book on The Extreme Ice Survey project, and a travel book of where your friend lives.

              GoPro camera.  Here’s some footage Brian shot in a helicopter ride over Boulder.

              USC goods (but from your school)!

              Make a book from Blurb.  It’s too late for Christmas this year but still a great gift idea.

              Lastly, I’m selling my Mac G5 desktop and my Panasonic HPX video camera I used to shoot shows like The Founders 2009.  Contact me if you’re interested in buying either item.  I can deliver to you if you’re in the Denver/Boulder area.

                  Foodzie Videos

                  December 6, 2011


                  A few months ago Emily Olson asked me to come to San Francisco and make a few videos on their deliciously delightful company Foodzie, a website connecting you with small producers who create real, good tasting food. It all started several years ago when I met the Foodzie team filming a short piece, StartUP, on TechStars for Current TV.

                  Fast forward to October 2011 when I found myself in San Francisco spending a weekend doing a lot of shooting… and eating!  It was a lot of work but a lot of fun.  The good news is I actually did not gain any weight.   I also got to see two of my close friends who live there.

                  Here are two of the videos I created for Foodzie, the first one is The Story of Foodzie. The second video follows the food adventures Emily takes on with Aida Mollenkamp from FoodCrafters.  They explore the Ferry Building Plaza while Aida picks out her favorite entertaining treats for the tasting box.

                  Please take note of the music in both videos. Their CDs make great holiday gifts;)
                  Story of Foodzie: Harper Blynn, Ben Suchy & Hello Kavita
                  The Weekend Market: Griz, Calvin Locklear, Harper Blynn, The Autumn Film, and Rosie & Me
