Helicopter PG&E Power Pole Installation John Meyer 2022-04-15 | I woke up to the sound of a helicopter fifty feet above my house. The pilot was surveying the location where a crew of four was going to replace a pole that holds high voltage wire. The new pole has a wider spread between the wires.Half an hour later, the helicopter returned, carrying two men. I ran out with my pocket zoom camera and snapped a few photos. By the time he returned with the second two men, I had grabbed my video camera. I couldn't see well in the sun, so the initial video is a little shaky. I then brought out a tripod and finally got better video. The helicopter pilot's skill is absolutely amazing!
Christmas 2020 Video John Meyer 2021-12-28 | I produced this just before Christmas 2020 when so many families decided to not get together.

Sodastream Dry Ice Recharge John Meyer 2020-10-04 | As of September 2020, I can no longer find any Sodastream cartridges in Central California. I was aware that you can recharge a Sodastream cartridge using dry ice, but couldn't be bothered. Now I actually need to do it. Fortunately it is stupidly easy. While there are lots of tutorials which show how to do this, I thought I'd create one that is streamlined, showing just the essentials. It took me less than ten minutes, start to finish, to recharge my first canister. My next one will take closer to five minutes. The dry ice cost $2.19/pound at Safeway. You need one pound per canister (you actually add 14.5 oz), plus an extra pound to cover the waste and sublimation that happens before the dry ice is in the canister. So if you have four canisters, get 5-6 pounds, depending on how long it takes to drive home. I put the dry ice in a small cooler, as you see in the video. There was still a little bit left the next morning, twelve hours later, so if you start your work within an hour of buying the dry ice, you should still have plenty left.

1931 Wiley Post Around the World, McKinley Airport, Cleveland, Ohio John Meyer 2020-06-16 | This is never before seen silent 16mm amateur film, from a private collection, showing an air show event at the McKinley Airport outside of Cleveland Ohio in 1931. At the 2:57 mark you will see the famous "Winnie Mae" airplane, and a few seconds later you will see its pilot, Wiley Post, emerge from the cockpit. The side of the airplane is painted with the text "Around the World." Since Post does not yet have an eye patch in this film, this means that this was taken during his first successful flight around the world with co-pilot Harold Gatty (Wiley Post later repeated the feat, but solo). The flight plan for this circumnavigation does show that the plane stopped in Cleveland just before completing the 'round the world trip. He returned from Cleveland to his starting point in New York, thus completing the around the world trip.The "Winnie Mae" airplane now hangs in the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.
1947 Tournament of Roses Parade John Meyer 2020-06-16 | This is silent 8mm movie footage of the Tournament of Roses Parade which was held in Pasadena, California on January 1, 1947.

Because it was an "on the spot" improvisation, it was probably never performed again.

Simple Composite John Meyer 2017-02-16 | This video was done in one take. I shot myself sitting in the chair for thirty seconds. I then got up and moved in front of the door.

I used a simple mask on the first video to let the second video show through on the right side of the picture. I created a second version of the initial video without that mask and then faded it into the one with the mask. This created the effect of me disappearing.I created a simple mask in Sony Vegas
