Treehouses
This is an excerpt from a work in progress. The doc is titled "Branche Arbres", which literally translates from French as hooked on trees. It's also a pun using the word "branche" meaning tree limb. The scene is about the Northwest School Treehouse Building in Washington State. We just follow Peter Neilsen, the school's creator, as he teaches a workshop for ordinary folks who are interested in learning to build tree houses. Some of the experts cutting in and out the scene are French speakers... haven't gotten round to doing all the subtitling yet. This is an excerpt from a work in progress.

Sprout Designs Comfortable Ballet Pointe Shoe
Until now, dancers have had to endure sustained pain and suffer injuries due to the stresses and abrasion that dancing on pointe causes. Our shoe uses revolutionary materials to completely reconstruct the pointe shoe from scratch. It will be far more comfortable and durable than any other shoe in the market. Professional dancers often wear out two pairs of shoes in one performance as traditional materials can't stand up to the high stresses a shoe undergoes. Sprout's new shoe will last months rather than hours and initial trials have indicated its "a miracle" and "amazingly comfortable" as it dramatically reduces the pain of going on pointe. Until now, dancers have had to endure sustained pain and suffer injuries due to the stresses and abrasion that dancing on pointe cause... more
