Hood Productions LLC Video and other media production

Today, Apple released a whole slew of new product updates. The one I'm most interested in however, is the new iMac. I have been editing video, photos, and audio on a first generation 24" white iMac for three years now. It still gets the job done, but lately it seems a bit sluggish.

The new hoodproductions.com just went live this afternoon! After several years of using the old website design, it was time for a much needed facelift. This new site is powered by Drupal, a free open source CMS.

Please visit the video gallery to view some of my recent work. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting many past projects along with other content so stay tuned. If something seems to be out of place, please let me know.

For a while I have been looking for a good solution for putting videos on my website in Flash format instead of Quicktime or Windows Media. The reason being almost everyone has Flash installed on their computer. What I found was Bits on the Run.
