Sparky vs. Coyote
Wrenshall’s Mark “Sparky” Stensaas is in Yellowstone. Things got interesting while he was photographing this coyote. He tells the full story on his Photonaturalist blog.

Boy with Red Balloon in Downtown Duluth
Here’s a short video (plus a few snapshots) that I took last spring following one of the Saturday Morning Film showings outside of Zinema 2 in Old Downtown Duluth. Hopefully they continue the series again this coming winter and spring. It was cheap, family friendly, and pretty dang engaging for the parents, grandparents and hipsters in the crowd, too. You don’t often get that combination from the megacineplex fare.
Do I get some kind of prize if I am the first person to use the “sappy stuff” tag? Bragging rights and/or swag would be acceptable.
Diet Folk – “Winter”
Shot live at Beaner’s Central on Sept. 24.
Duluth-related zombie movie trailer
Apparently making homemade trailers for movies that don’t exist is becoming a trend. Here’s the latest in the series.
Official Duluth Movie Trailer
I hadn’t seen this before, pretty funny.
The Duluth Mansion
Well, here’s something. I guess it’s the next in the series of weird Duluth-related trailers. (Previous one: Duluth: A new film by Nicole Brending).
Heck of the North 2012 Teaser
This is a teaser for the Heck of the North short film premiering soon. It is a short documentary on the Heck of the North Gravel Cycling Classic that is held annually in Duluth.
Duluth: A new film by Nicole Brending
Apparently a short film called Duluth was completed in 2010. (I’ll note right up front that the trailer features brief nudity.)
Update: The trailer on Vimeo has been removed.
The URL given at the end of the trailer is to a site that doesn’t exist. There is, however, an Internet Movie Database plot summary, which reads as follows: (more…)
PDD on your TV
You might start seeing two ads for the Perfect Duluth Day Calendar on the teevee. Thanks to the people and businesses around town that helped us out. (more…)
David Bazan live from Sacred Heart
David Bazan and Andy Fitts recently came to Duluth to do two living-room shows in Duluth. I was thrilled at the opportunity to get him to come to Sacred Heart and record some songs and be a part of a Lakefront Videos project. I think it turned out super sweet.
Late Summer Swim at the Cutest Little Beach in WI

Things I saw.
Slacklining and Swimming at Uncle Harvey’s Mausoleum
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vBVwXht9zQ
Duluth’s megalithic ruins. I’d taken a spot of footage late last winter, and I’ve been looking forward to a summer shoot just like this to complete a video exploration of the Cribs, aka Uncle Harvey’s Mausoleum. Sure enough these kind party people let me video their fun-loving attempts to best a wiggly slackline here on the late summer date of Sept. 9.
The water was very cold, it must be said, but I seem to have experienced a bodywide mutagenic change that can take it. I look forward to a shoot next summer with warm, crystal clear water; maybe I can get video even farther down in and around this quintessentially Duluth structure.
Teague Alexy – “All the Way Long Gone”
New video, directed by Joshua Priestley, from Teague Alexy’s album This Dance.
Good Knight – “Good Old Days”
If you loved the “Hey Big Girl” video, you’ll hate this. If you came from West Duluth, I hope you can appreciate it. Much love y’all!
The Perilous Inlet 1 & 2

[Part two of this video series is no longer available.]
(Regular readers may recognize the first couple of minutes of part 2 as I already released those, teaser-style, not too long ago. Now the gruesome conclusion may be shown.)
Welcome to Washburn, Wisconsin!

Is that the lift bridge?
Is that the lift bridge at 2:56? I also thought the fireworks scene looked vaguely Duluthy at first but on second and third glance I don’t see how it could be, the bridge is in the wrong position related to the fireworks unless they are coming from Superior. Anyone else care to take a stab at it? (more…)
I shot episode 6 of my ninja web series at Lester River
[This post originally contained an embedded video that is no longer available at its source.]
This is pretty boring, but I love seeing the river in black and white.
The 3 Best Friends — “Hey Big Girl”
Watch this video from local Duluth rappers and love to hate it!
Flood Video: Calling Extras to the Set
LoLa Visuals is putting together a video for the city of Duluth to bring to the state legislature in attempts to attain state assistance for flood victims. We are filming the closing shot Aug. 19 at 5 p.m. in Canal Park by the pier and need as many people as possible to come join. The final shot will include Sarah Krueger singing “High Tide or Low Tide” with an expanse of Duluthians surrounding her swaying to the music; a final plea for the state to stand by us in both high times and low times.
