eric hodge – Platypus video

As part of the Platypus Workshop that I am attending, everyone had to do a short documentary style video…
I made a 5 minute video about local mobile mechanic, Eric Hodge.
I followed Eric around Ojai, California for the day and this is the result:





P.S. – Peter Frank (aka PF) Bentley awarded this video “Best Story” at the Platypus Workshop 🙂
