New Garmin Marine work!

Garmin Marine GPSMAP16x3 in Italy

The GPSMAP16x3 chartplotter and a Garmin Marine reel. This was a treat to head to Italy and shoot around Portofino. An absolutely stunning location on beautiful boats with the Spanish based production company Let’s.film.

North Carolina was a gem, too, albeit not the most ideal weather for shooting. All-in-all, these are the moments of full appreciation for what I do and who I work with. Thank you Garmin Marine team and for all involved! Watch here: Garmin Marine GPSMAP16x3 (https://www.cameronkarsten.com/Motion/2)

Garmin Marine reel – Seattle to Italy and in-between

Lastly, after three Garmin Marine campaigns in 5 locations, from sailing in Seattle, speed boating in Miami, to walleye fishing in Minnesota and cruising in Italy and coastal fishing North Carolina, my editor Luke pulled together a stylish Garmin Marine reel. Take a look and enjoy the water: Garmin Marine reel (https://www.cameronkarsten.com/Motion/3)

Challenge Seattle’s “I Can Do It” Campaign

Most people pay for this advice, via book or lecture. Most people never have the opportunity to pay for this advice, because it’s not readily available. When Zillow and ex-Washington governor Chris Gregoire called upon director Sam McJunkin and me to create a short film of 14 of Seattle’s top CEOs, we looked at each other and knew we would come out all the wiser.

In the end, we didn’t. Well maybe a little, but not really. I’d like to think I did… However, it was an awe-inspiring experience to spend up to an hour listening about who these individuals were as children and classmates, what they aspired towards as youth, and today what it is to be a leader at the top of their businesses.

The end goal; a short film directed towards elementary youth as part of Seattle’s Discover U week back in October of 2016. Sam and I have completed the project, interviewing CEOs from PSE, Nordstrom, Costco, REI, and others with the next step in making a short film intended for high school students to let them know that Seattle has their backs and they are ready to hire once their education is complete. This is Challenge Seattle, an initiative created by Chris Gregoire to help Seattle companies hire Seattle locals, brought up in the school system and inspired by these top CEOs.
