Last Friday night we drank a bottle of champagne and locked picture on Opus Jazz.  It’s been about 6 weeks since we wrapped.

We also have an air date : March 24th, 2010 on PBS!

Check out this informative article in Fast Company about our BluDot experiment.

The experiment is blowing up all over the internet.  People have been following the live GPS map and tracking us down.  But this weekend we’re on the hunt for all of the people who found the chairs.

Our upcoming documentary about the project will premiere at the BluDot anniversary party and be featured on their website in December…

Today we dropped 5 BluDot chairs on 5 different NYC street corners each installed with a covert GPS tracking device.  We’re making a film with mono about who takes the chairs & where they end up.

Serious missions call for serious lenses.

Griff readies for a drop in the back of the van.

This is what they look like.

You can watch the chairs progress updates on this live GPS map, and follow them on Twitter & Flickr.

We’re dropping 5 more tomorrow.

Starting tomorrow we’re teaming up with Mono again and dropping 10 of these BluDot “Real Good” chairs around NYC (with secret GPS tracking devices installed by our friends over at  Tellart) to see where they end up.  You can watch the chairs’ progress on a live map!  We’re going to wait a couple of days and interview the people who pick the chairs up, see what they think about the whole thing.

This summer we made two :60 spots for Sperry, makers of the classic Topsider boat shoe.    The spots aired nationwide on Plum TV.

Take a look, we’re very proud of them

We spent our last week shooting the 5th movement in a Lowe’s movie palace from the late 1920’s in Jersey City.

It was spooky and beautiful.

Joe nailed this shot.

The entire cast & crew, from 80 feet up.  A happy family.

Words cannot express what an incredible experience making this film has been.   No one did it for the money, we made it for art, FOR LIFE.  We’re all sorry it’s over, but the editing must begin.

The film will air on WNET/PBS in Spring 2010.
