It was great to document some of our small-town community at this year's 93rd annual event with The Viola, WI Horse and C**t Show. You may have seen me around with the camera, capturing various venues. Stay tuned, as I will be putting out more content as I work through the footage. Here is the entire Parade. I added music, so it also works as a great background sound.

I am currently seeking stories and events to document. If you are hosting a community event you feel would be good to share with others, contact me (Jeremy Bork) with Earthship Media. I aim to bring back community video journalism and inspirational stories to share how we connect. If you would like to sponsor coverage of a specific event or want to see more, I am seeking funding to take on more of these types of projects to share with our community.

Here is the Viola Horse & C**t Show Parade, which took place on September 21, 2024. This was a huge parade this year, bringing together many community member...

Earthship Media filmed this year's 2024 9/11 tribute at the Vernon County Fair. At this event, you are hosted by the current Vernon County Fairest of the Fair, Hailey Nerison, and hear stories from Natalie Solverson, who served as Fairest of the Fair during the September 11, 2001 attacks. The National Anthem was sung by Ashley Erlandson. We also heard from the Viroqua Fire Dept. Fire Chief Chad Buros. The event also presented a cover song by Michael W. Smith. The Vernon County Sheriff's Office Honor Guard performed a flag-folding ceremony. Thanks to all of our first responders who were able to attend. Your presence helped remind us of the work you do!

September 11, 2001, holds meaning for many across the nation. At that time, I was serving on Active Duty in the Army while stationed in South Korea. I remember watching live television coverage late in the evening when the planes hit. Fast-forward to now, where I operate Earthship Media to promote peace and the connections between people through video and media. I am looking for suitable projects to take on that build up our community. Let's get out there and create connections!

Regards,

Jeremy

Community events are a fantastic way to connect with friends and make new ones. It was fun to see people having a great time at the Hoedown. If you are in my neck of the woods, the burgers and fries at Liberty Bar / Store in Viola, WI, are fantastic.

I visited a local community event at Liberty Bar near Viola, WI, to capture some local fun. It was great seeing the waves, smiles, and friends getting togeth...

Here is a video from last April, when Driftless Books And Music had the talented Greg Brown perform a reading and discuss his new book, Ring Around the Moon. This video has been edited for some time, and I just wanted to finally get it published, so I decided to share it on my community Earthship Media YouTube. I hope this support to small-town life helps people connect. It was great to hear Greg's stories and also fantastic to support one of the finest local bookstores in the nation! So get out and thank Eddy Nix for hosting such a great event. Follow Driftless Books and Music for more events.

This film project dates back to April 2024. The plan was to upload it to Eddy's YouTube, but we didn't link up to make it work, so I wanted to get it out here. This film project came up at the very last minute, and as I have experienced in the past, I will only use house audio for video recording if there is a way to pull a mix, and the wireless system works well. Believe it or not, this was captured on a Rode VideoMic Pro+ from about 30 feet away besides the two side cameras I set up. From now on, I will focus on live, single-camera coverage of events. It is easier to capture highlights this way.

This event, filmed in April 2024, highlighted a book reading for the release of Greg Brown's Ring Around the Moon: A Songbook. The book contains a collection...

Palestine Presentation filmed by Jeremy Bork
Video Journalist and Owner of Earthship Media

Lafarge, WI—A community came together in LaFarge, Wisconsin, to gain an understanding of the Gaza conflict. The event, hosted by Bob Goonin and Muhammad Kharbush, highlighted their experience and historical context with the forced displacement, violence, and the ongoing challenges faced by Palestinians in the Gaza region.

Kharbush, A Palestinian who grew up as a refugee in Lebanon, recounted his family's flight from Palestine in 1948. He described the trauma of displacement, the struggles of living in a refugee camp, and the history of how his family came to live on a farm in Wonewoc, Wisconsin. Despite these hardships, Kharbush pursued education and eventually immigrated to the United States.

Goonin, a local Lafarge resident and Jew, provided historical context for the Palestinian conflict. He emphasized the role of the Israeli occupation and limited access to resources in perpetuating Palestinians' suffering. Goonin has advocated for peace and Palestinian rights for many years. In 2019, he visited Palestine and consulted farmers about land, water, and energy issues, as he had experience working at Organic Valley and as a founder of Bring It Home Biofuels Cooperative.

The organizers expressed hope that the event would raise awareness of the plight of the Palestinian people and encourage greater support for peace and a change in U.S. policy toward the conflict.

Hello. My name is Jeremy and I started Earthship Media because I believe that we can do better to capture real life moments in our pursuit to engage with our social media audience.

In the 90's, I remember doing videography and production for public cable access with a friend of mine. For some reason I pursued a career in technology and it came back full-circle. My passion for photography brought me back to video and I decided to make a career change. Starting this venture has not shown me financial success yet, but it has helped me explore internal passion for a better life.

This picture was my first digital photography camera, the Nikon D200. Currently, I use mainly Sony but always loved my Nikon because of the great nature photography.

If you have a video project that requires passion and dedication to human connection and ecological sustainability, drop a message. I would love to hear about your goals!

Today is Earthday. While we should be working to fix our ecological coexistence instead of celebrating, focusing on the positive aspects in hopes we can change is better. On this Earthday, it is another day that we can dust ourselves off and keep working to change. Join Earthship Media in working to be the change in our society. We cannot fail at this.

Filming an interview today. While I cannot wait to setup my film cart, it wouldn’t have helped me lugging all this gear up a flight of stairs.

Apart from the need to add some C-Stands this 6 foot diffuser should do a great job!

Which AI platform are you testing out? Google just released its AI called Gemini, which is really interesting considering how vast Google manages the web. Keeping on the latest tech is important in understanding how it impacts future tools that will be the bedrock of future communication. Whatever your thoughts about AI, it will vastly impact how we communicate. Earthship Media is working to stay on top of the latest technology to share the use of these tools in our Creator Ecology Community to help your small business.

Creating connections through health and wellness is one of the best ways to create content. I am grateful to be a part of someone's healing journey. It is great to work with the IMI.earth and Mindflow Radio to film coursework that elevates our well-being. It is time to meditate and create!

“The problems with social media (online outrage, addictive scrolling, degrading mental health, etc.) are not problems with social media per se. They are problems with how people choose to use social media.” - Marshall McLuhan (2003)

I have be very interested in how human Centered Design techniques can be used to create a user experience that is deliberately more positive. While ethics cannot be forced in media, organizations that develop content, perhaps we all can work together to achieve a better society as a result?
