He aims to "leave no trace" in the landscape, and he acknowledges that his art cannot represent the experience of a walk.

For fans of Benicio Del Toro or of director Michael Mann, a visit to the cinema this weekend will have proved a tantalising experience. There, among the trailers, they might have found a sneak preview of Lucky Star, a peppy-looking thriller made with the same stylised flourish Mann brought to Heat, The Insider and Ali, starring the professionally addled Del Toro as a master gambler cleaning up at both casino and stock market. His judgment, we learn, is faultless, his wagers blessed with luck remarkable enough to attract the suspicions of various murky government agents, who duly hound him into leaving town in a gleaming silver convertible. But where is he going? What destiny awaits him? Fade to black. Coming Soon.
BBDO/Atlanta approached Impactist to create a PSA for the Peace Corps campaign "Life Is Calling. How Far Will You Go?" Impactist shot the PSAs entirely with a hand held digital still camera to achieve a smooth, post-created motion that allowed for time manipulation. The HD completed spots feature people in the midst of their everyday lives as they hear the calling to become Peace Corps volunteers, highlighting the moment when the potential volunteers realize the difference they could make in the world. In total Impactist shot 14,425 stills for this shoot, which took place in eight locations over two days in some of New York City's greatest landmarks and locations.

Field trips need not always be an excursion to a far off destination. Sometimes, a short trip into the city to observe the variety of trees change into their autumnal colors was orchestrated. Children would be led in groups to where branches offered their previously out of reach color to small hands. All the while, the events would be captured on film and early video to be later sealed in the school's time capsule which would be buried beneath the school courtyard's own twin oak trees.
thx to Mr. Ken C., who showed me the way.
