We got that B-Roll!

In case you were wondering what I do at the production company...


I help produce a TV show for the Food Network called Unwrapped!


My job often has a little something to do with B-Roll...


If you don't know what B-Roll is, watch this:


I plan and produce b-roll shoots. (Trust me, we got that b-roll!)


I make food look goooooood.


and I make sure people are happy when they eat it...


even if it's chocolate covered crickets!!!


I also research and cast products for our show.


I develop stories and set up shoots for field crews

at some of your favorite food factories around the country!


But we have our fair share of fun back here at the office!


Sure, we may not need hairnets and earplugs (as our field crew does when working at noisy food factories)...


(Ever wonder what pop bottles look like before they his the shelves?)

But we do, on occasion, get special deliveries (ie. having a Slush Puppy machine delivered to Lisa's house).


(Not too shabby, until they took it away...)

I suppose we get a lot of "special" deliveries...


Just another day behind the scenes of Unwrapped!


Best of all: This is not news!

DJ L8NIITE RETURNS!

P. Schaf rocked the house in true blue old-school ski-school fashion. What used to be a weekly gathering has now become a sacred annual event. Thanks to the die-hard fans, I'm here to tell the truth, that the DJ Latenite tradition lives on live and well.

As all good nights at Vail's Ski Bar / Whisky Jacks tend to go, this Tuesday night was jam-packed with party peeps looking to have a good time...which meant great deals on drinks, tons of friends, and even a few spins on the pole.


Shout out to everyone who has ever attended one of DJ Latenite's late night jams. And cheers to Jax and her snowboard student / true life pole dance instructor who kindly demoed a few new moves...


Until next time...

Pause

Life moves fast. It’s hard to keep up. Weekends like this remind me how wonderful it is to slow down. To have time to sit casually at a coffee shop. To reflect on my life. To put the game on pause. To reevalutate where I am and where I want to be next.

There’s no point in driving around if you don’t know where you’re going. Sometimes it feels good to drive, to be on the move. You find cool things along the way. But it’s hard to figure out where you’re going if you’re constantly in motion. Sometimes, as annoying as it is, you’ve got to pull over and stop.

I’ve been driving for a long time. As hard as I try to divide my life between Denver and Vail, the truth remains, that neither is an entirely perfect place, and the thought that one is is entirely flawed. I do my best to pick and choose to create the best mix of life. I’ve done a really good job. But I am tired.

It’s hard to keep up with my blog. Weeks in Vail without internet kill me. I’m behind. I’m not ready to let go of TravelingJules. There are more adventures to come, and plenty in the present. My blog has always been an important way for me to understand my life’s progression and to have it for always to keep. While I continue to attempt to collect images of interesting, enjoyable, exciting moments, more and more often, I fail to reach for my camera. With the pleasure of routine, with comfort, the moments I desire to capture now are often boring through a camera lens—doing well at work, having breakfast in bed, becoming a local at a new place—But they are equally warm, satisfying, and meaningful.

This weekend was a reminder for me to slow down. To sleep in until twelve. To wear sweatpants. To be OK with doing nothing. To be in the good company of others. To have time to myself. To take a moment to write it all down.

In celebration of two holidays...

Valentine's Day...



...and Korean New Years!
