This makes the iPhone look like a pile of poop.

Pattie Maes discusses cutting edge technology that will give the next generation of "smart phone" users a so-called "sixth sense." Her device is now cobbled together using an ordinary cell phone, portable projector, and a web cam. The device allows you to interact with the world in ways we've only seen in science fiction. I am particularly excited about how this device could change the way we read newspapers-- by projecting relevant video content right onto the paper itself. 

The Back Room

For those of you who missed the screening, here was our submission to the 2009 New York City 48 Hour Film Project:



Benjamin Grimes' first day at his new job goes horribly awry.

Yay! One Glass Video won the Audience Choice Award for THE BACK ROOM, our 48 Hour Film Project submission this year! This means that we made it into the Best of New York screening. Come check it out if you can:

When: Friday, June 12th @8pm
Where: Cantor Film Center, 36 8th St. NYC
Tickets: $10 (buy in advance)

A big thank you to our incredible team: Ben Relf, Ayinde Howell, Alan Kistler, Kendra Cunningham, Gerry Sievers, Chris Jamros, Lawrence Paone, Chelsea Noll, Can Yanardag and Ryan Cooper. And special thanks to Susan Woods of Aswoon, Jason Stevens of ReBar and The Brazen Head for donating their locations for the shoot.

We did it! After negligible amounts of sleep, we emerged from this year's 48 Hour Film Project with excruciating migraines, inexplicable bruises, and our best 48-Hour submission yet!

In THE BACK ROOM, Benjamin Grimes' first day at his new job goes horribly awry.

Our genre this year was Fantasy, and the required elements were "keys," "a professional organizer" and the line of dialog "You're not going to believe what I just heard."

Come out and see our film (and other team's submissions) THIS SATURDAY!

Saturday, June 6th @ 6:15pm
NYU's Cantor Film Center
36 East 8 Street, NYC 10003

Tickets: $10, and good for a free drink afterwards.
Buy tickets in advance. (be sure to select the Saturday - 6:15pm screening, our film will not be screened at any other time)

It's that time again...

This will be the 4th time One Glass has participated in the annual 48 Hour Film Project in NYC. Last year we won "Best Use of Prop" with our film, STREET JUSTICE. And the year prior, we were in the top 10 films from NYC and San Francisco with TOP SECRET. I'm really excited about our team this year; our submission is going to be our best yet. We're currently scouting for locations in and around Dumbo, Brooklyn. If anyone has any ideas, or if you know someone with a really cool apartment/business in the area, definitely let us know. We'll be shooting this Saturday (May 30th).

Now you can find One Glass Video with Google Maps. I don't know why I'm so excited about this, but check it out and write us a review!

Has anyone seen the Storage Deluxe signs around NYC?





I'm just sayin'.

Construction at our office continues...
Valery is angry with this particular wall.

And Stephanie is not taking any sh*t from this ceiling.

Update

We haven't posted anything on here in a while, but that doesn't mean we haven't been busy. Some highlights from the last month...

- Two films that One Glass Productions worked on were screened at MoMa for their Documentary Fortnight in February. Stephanie Testa did the Sound Design for the two Barbara Hammer films, A Horse is Not a Metaphor and The Diving Women of Jeju. Valery Estabrook designed the DVD's for both films as well.

- Also, we are doing some major construction at the office this week. We are putting up walls to make 3 private edit suites. We're pretty much out of commission as far as work because most of our computers are under a giant tarp, but It's going to be great. Here's a picture of the space in progress:



- We both got G1 Google Phones! Now we're never out of touch (unless the battery dies which it does at an alarmingly fast rate when Valery plays Monkey Island 2 at work). We are fully embracing technology with our touch screens, qwerty keyboards, free three-way calling, mobile email, internet access, live radio, sky maps, and barcode scanning abilities. I know many of you already have iPhones and Blackberries, but I assure you, this qualifies as news to us. You should have seen our previously primitive phones! For a while, the most useful method of communicating with them was by throwing them at our friends to get their attention. Then we found the "on" button but things didn't get much better from there.

Happy New Year!

A brand new year and a brand new website!!


We've done a major redesign, and there are a lot more videos, this time in a convenient Flash player. Check it out and let us know what you think.
