 I've been talking about films shot with Digital SLR cameras and this was
 shot with two DSLRs (they're shown in the video).  One though could have
 used a little less depth of field because the park in the background
 became distracting.  One of the things that makes digital look like film
 is the ability to use focal length to bring out your subject.   Most
 lenses that come with video cameras don't have that feature or it is
 hard to use.  The other thing is that DSLR cameras are the first ones
 for under $1000 that you can shoot at 24fps film rate.

 Nice piece of work though.


Your toys are always so impressive.   And so much safer than going out an
actually engaging life.

The latter I do on a daily basis so it's nice to have a place to retreat

Fairfield: In lieu of continuous occupation, a local group of protesters
organized an informational gathering in Howard Park and also screened the
documentary “The Corporation” at a local coffeehouse. Video from the park

One of the Fairfield supporters, Rianna Koppel, also had this to say:

I don’t want to speak on behalf of the entire Occupy Fairfield Group, but I
can speak personally on why I don’t think we are occupying a public space
consistently.

Fairfield is home to a community that is based in Transcendental
Meditation. At our university, Maharishi University of Mangement, many
students, staff, and faculty are already working on many projects that
relate directly to sustainability, consciousness, local economy, local
cooperatives — financial and otherwise, farmer’s markets and CSAs, and
many, many more.

What I think the purpose of our local Occupy movement is has to do more
with education, awareness, and continued promotion of local projects and
activities that are already taking place to support each other in our
community. I think that this is the perspective that everyone is taking
here in Fairfield, and so through the Occupy movement, we have strengthened
and rallied our community. We do not need to occupy a public space
consistently in order to do what we see as the next step from this movement.

You Iowa guys are so sweet!  I don't think that's what ours about.  One can't 
deny though that Fairfield has the concept of community in place.
