Rio Theatre Improvements ✨⁣ — Drone 4K (2023)

 

Next up on a drone tour of some of the community projects completed by @tomralstonconcrete in Santa Cruz, we are leaving the west side and heading to midtown to the @riotheatresantacruz — a historic landmark built in 1949, with a unique “cycloramic” screen which gave a wrap-around panorama and illusion of depth.⁣
⁣


A new green color-infused concrete sidewalk with a red curb + gutter, and three bronze safety bollards were installed at the front entrance. Embedded in the concrete is the Rio Theater’s logo and a historical plaque featuring Laurence Bedford’s profile, both cast in bronze.⁣

Local singer-songwriter Tom Ralston’s Band will play a benefit concert for @secondharvestsantacruz on Saturday December 2, 2023 at the Rio Theater, from 7pm - 10pm. The band has a unique sound incorporating jazz, soul, and rock, with his 14-piece ensemble with string and horn section.

Evergreen Cemetery Restoration — Drone 4K⁣ (2023)

 

Next up on a drone tour of some of the community projects completed by @tomralstonconcrete in Santa Cruz is Evergreen Cemetery — one of the oldest cemeteries in California, created in 1858.⁣

A new ADA pathway was created that allows everyone to access the cemetery’s grounds. A Chinese Gate ⛩️ commemorates Chinese immigrants who lived and worked in Santa Cruz. As I was filming, a dark-morph red-tail hawk was seemingly keeping guard on top of the gate.

Surfer Statue Stairs, Cowell’s Stepping Stones Park, Roundabout — Drone 4K (2023)

 

Let’s continue a drone tour of some of the community projects completed by @tomralstonconcrete throughout Santa Cruz.⁣

The Surfer Statue stairs allow surfers another access point to the ocean and helps them get in and out of the water. ⁣

Cowell’s stepping stones park provides a viewing area for tourists and locals alike to watch the surfers. Kids have a place to play and jump between the rocks. ⁣

The roundabout at the entrance to the Santa Cruz Wharf, Beach St. and Pacific Ave. join together in a continuous flow of traffic, instead of having a 4-way Stop or traffic lights. In the center there is a pod of stone dolphins.

Princes of Surf Plaque, Steamer Lane Stairs & Concrete Path — Drone 4K (2023)

 

Let’s take a drone tour of some of the community projects completed by @tomralstonconcrete throughout Santa Cruz.

The Princes of Surf plaque at the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum pays homage to the three princes who rode Santa Cruz waves in 1885, the first known instance of mainland surfing.

The Steamer Lane stairs were replaced and a concrete path (“Wally Pads”) was poured along the base of the cliffs, to help surfers get in and out of the water.

Chinatown Dragon Arch ⛩⁣ 4K (2021)

From the plaque:⁣
The Chinatown Bridge⁣
This Chinese dragon gate commemorates the naming of the Chinatown Bridge over the San Lorenzo River and the often forgotten history of Chinese immigrants in Santa Cruz County.⁣

The dragon — a symbol of power, strength, and good fortune in Chinese culture — pays homage to the tenacity, endurance and ingenuity of those who survived in Santa Cruz despite persistent anti-Chinese racism and hostilities. It also honors both their spirits and their descendants who still grace and enrich this community.⁣

#Urban_automated_driving (2019)

Mercedes-Benz and Bosch, together with San Jose, CA, start an interesting pilot project for an automated ridesharing service.

Bosch and Mercedes-Benz hope the pilot automated ridesharing project will provide additional insights for the development of automated driving. The automated S-Class vehicles, which are equipped with the drive system and software from Bosch and Mercedes-Benz, offer a shuttle service between West San José and the city centre. The Daimler Mobility AG fleet platform allows ridesharing partners to seamlessly integrate self-driving vehicles into their service portfolio. The city of San José contributes its urban infrastructure to the pilot project in order to enhance safety, environmental impact and traffic flows.

🌌 Ancient Emojis 🌀 Drone 4K (2018)

Seemingly alien, these etchings are actually Native American petroglyphs aka “rock art”. This prehistoric rock art was etched or engraved 1000-3000 years ago by predecessors of Owens Valley Paiutes, and offer a palpable connection to ancient culture. Most rock art locales in California and Nevada are power spots or vision quest sites. They are often places where Native American shamans, often called medicine men or healers, entered an altered state of consciousness to journey to supernatural realms for instruction or empowerment.

Samsung: TLC V-NAND SSDs (2016)

The world’s first 3D vertical-NAND Solid State Drive from Samsung. The triple-level-cell or TLC technology allows Samsung to make its storage more efficient in a smaller space and up performance using Samsung’s proprietary 3D V-NAND manufacturing process.

Samsung’s V-NAND enables the production of SSDs that are faster, consume less energy and have greater reliability than conventional SSDs produced through the widely-used planar process. And TLC SSDs themselves can deliver a 50% increase in storage capacity compared to the long popular MLC or multi-level cell SSDs.

Samsung’s
industry-leading SSD portfolio helps you meet or surpass critical speed requirements in the enterprise, doing away with performance bottlenecks. It offers TLC enterprise SSDs that can support up to a million transactions per second within a single drive. This is up to 5000 times faster than the fastest enterprise hard drives.

4th Annual Santa Cruz Waves Sandbar Shootout (2015)

It was a gorgeous day with some nice swell down at Seascape Beach for the Sandbar Shootout surf contest. This is the 4th year that Santa Cruz Waves has run this event, and this was the best yet! Surfers from all over Santa Cruz surfed in this invitational event. The weather was perfect and the sandbars delivered. The use of the Whammy (each heat the contestant claimed what he thought was his best wave by throwing his arms in the air or other gestures) made the contest extra fun. This year there was a prize for the best Whammy claim motions. It was between Austin Smith-Ford and Kyle Thierman… Thierman won with a stunning routine. The four who make it the finals were Austin in 4th, Shane Desmond in 3rd and a close 1.6 point difference that put Chad Underhill-Meras (last year’s champ) in second and world touring, West Side local Nat Young in first.

 

Sponsors included: Driscoll’s, Reef, Santa Cruz Salmon Jerky, East Side Eatery, Seascape Foods, Pleasure Pizza, Local Style, Palapas, Monte Foundation, New Leaf, Oakley, Deluxe Foods, and Ventana Surfboards.

Fleeting Moments (2014)

A visual montage of time-lapse images accompanied by an instrumental piece of music. Time-lapse photography allows us to see things that are not normally visible to the naked eye. Creating time-lapse sequences is very time-consuming and tests one's patience, but if you're able to stick it out, the final results can be very satisfying. 

 

"Fleeting Moments" was created in TAT 315 Visual Design at CSUMB, and screened as the final film for the 2nd Annual WONDERLAND screening of work from students in the compositing, animation, visual and sound design classes at CSUMB for the Cinematic Arts & Technology program.
