Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,800 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 47 trips to carry that many people.

Michael Miceli rockin' the Vibram FiveFingers
When shooting on location producer Michael Miceli swears by the “freaky” footwear specially developed for endurance athletes by Vibram FiveFingers. We recently snapped a production shot of Michael wearing the shoes while working with our camera crane.
Looking at the website for Vibram FiveFingers is like peaking into the secret world of obscure sports…barefoot waterskiing, geocaching, technical tree climbing, paddleboard surfing. In the minds of everyone at Miceli Productions HD we agree filming on location actually fits well into that list! Cheers for happy feet!
Can’t you just smell the fresh air coming off of this video? In honor of Earth Day, enjoy this brief nature montage from our recent Salmon River (East Hampton, CT) cottage real estate walk through video. Swans, gentle river waters and trees as far as the eye can see… lovely.
MP: Hello.
QRC: Hello!
MP: What’s your name?
QRC: My full name is Quick Response Code but people often refer to me as QR-Code or QRC.
MP: Why am I seeing you all over the place these days? Best Buy, Macy’s, Calvin Klein, Miceli Productions HD services brochures, you really get around!
QRC: Well, businesses are looking for ways to connect the “real world” to the digital world. And more and more people are using smart devices every day. I’m a business tool that’s consumer friendly, convenient, fast, and universal across devices. (I’m also a little I’m fun and mysterious, no?)
MP: Consumer friendly? Are you sure? You look a little complicated to me.
QRC: Not at all. There are just a few simple steps to “unlock” me. In fact, if you have a smart device and are connected to a wireless network you can test me out right now using my graphic in the top corner.
MP: How much do you cost?
QRC: I’m FREE! A great place to quickly create others like me is Kaywa.com. It only takes a minute.
MP: Good to know QRC! At Miceli Productions HD we’re all about video. Can you share some of the creative ways people are using you to connect to video?
QRC: Gladly. Earlier you mentioned seeing me at Macy’s. One of their recent glossy magazine print ads for spring scarves used me to connect to a fashion video of 7 different trendy ways scarfs are being worn this season. Someone flipping through the magazine can see the product live, in action right there on their phone. Calvin Klein used me to connect their billboard campaigns to an exclusively mobile (and uncensored) version of their commercials running on TV. The entire billboard was a giant red QR-Code! But I can be used very simply as well. For example Miceli Productions HD prints me on their brochures. When a potential client scans me, I take them directly to the Miceli Productions updated video portfolio.
MP: Thanks for taking the time for this brief interview. Do you have anything else to add?
QRC: iPad 2 just came out with a camera as part of the device. So I think you’ll be seeing even more of me. Happy scanning!
In lieu of a “2010 Year in Review” blog post from Miceli Productions HD, we wanted to share with you what our blog looked like this time last year. We’ve come a long way in 2010, with almost weekly video blog posts… here’s to 2011.
We love being a boutique video production studio. We get to work with a different network of creative artists on each project. At Miceli Productions HD we live for bringing value to the table in these collaborations.
Most recently we worked with Connecticut fiction writer Matthew Plourde on the completion and promotion of his new book EDEN.
Jennifer Blessing Miceli was the main copy editor. We collaborated with Matthew’s promo editor and the fantastic graphic artist Axel Torvenius. Michael Miceli provided digital photography and effects for EDEN’s main character, fallen angel Erzulie, who is featured in the above book promotional video.
Miceli Productions HD congratulates Matthew on the successful self publication of EDEN. To learn more about Plourde’s investment in the indie book revolution visit matthewcplourde.wordpress.com
