Everyday Quote: People can have the Model T in any color–so long as it’s black.
– Henry Ford
Today’s everyday comes on the heels of a project I shot for “Translogic”, an automotive technology themed show produced by AOL Media. Luke Wahl, the producer, Cait Thompson, the host, and I, the camera-op, visited Honda’s “secret” (closed to the public) museum in Torrance, CA. There we interviewed Dave Marek, chief designer for Honda America R&D. Among other things, Dave demonstrated some mad drawing skills by drawing a new concept car on a whiteboard in under 5 minutes.
As we wrapped up the interview portion of the shoot, and I was “free” to roam around and shoot b-roll, I spotted my first car, the 1987 Honda Accord LXi hatchback. Not too far from it, there was the 1995 Honda Accord Ex, my third car, which I drove from the snowy midwest to the sunny California almost ten years ago to start a new life in Los Angeles. Anyone who’s ever spent a significant amount of time driving (or using any piece of equipment, for that matter) knows how easy it is to anthropomorphize our inanimate pets. I am no exception. I spent some time over the weekend and put together a little homage to my loyal friends, set to a near perfect song by Andy Cabic of Vetiver.
