BURNcast.TV Home Videos: WDYDWYD Burning Man 2007

We're going to wrap up the next few weeks of 2010 and roll into 2011 with a three part home video series of Burning Man 2007 from filmmaker Hedy Sirico.   Sirico submitted another series of great home videos last year that you might enjoy including "Burning Man 2008: The Amer-I-Can Dream".

Today we're proud to present episode #1, which is just simply entitled "WDYDWYD". Here burners were asked the simple question "Why do you do what you do?"

This video is over 20 minutes long and it's about 158 mb large. It is the mobile version (meaning it was rendered for smaller screens such as those of mobile devices) and it is also the version that's available for download via iTunes. You can view a a larger, higher quality version that's 238 mb on Vimeo.

All Aboard the Airship Victoria

The Airship Victoria  is a steampunk dirigible and multi-year project conceived by Stacey Reineccius and designed by Trevor Tuttle.   Above is an old episode of BURNcast when the AV was still in its planning stages back in 2009.  

For Burning Man 2010 the AV was built on a matrix of seven 10 ft diameter balloons attached to a hand-made aluminum frame. Once airborne, the dirigible attempted to lift a 1 kilowatt Tesla coil above the ground. The coil and LED lighting system were controlled by a midi keyboard on the ground creating a music and light show unlike anything built before.

There's more videos plus photos of the Airship Victoria from this year's burn on their Facebook page and also on YouTube. Unfortunately, the admin has disallowed embedding and sharing otherwise I would have posted them here instead. So go on over and check'em out. They're gearing up for Burning Man 2011 and they're looking for volunteers. Tell'em I sent'cha!
