Portland. Our "Big" Small Town.
Produced 2012 by Uncage the Soul Productions Ben Canales, John Waller, Steve Engman, Blake Johnson http://www.uncagethesoul.com To plan your adventure to Portland, visit Travel Portland at http://www.travelportland.com Finding Portland was produced, shot, and edited in 51 days during March and April at the invitation of TEDx Portland, where the video was unveiled to a sell out crowd of 650 and met with a standing ovation. Filmed in Portland and the Columbia Gorge, this time-lapse piece offers a new perspective to the City of Roses. From a Portland Timbers season opening soccer game, to the top of the Fremont Bridge, to an aerial shot of Oneonta Gorge, Finding Portland tells the story of a city and its many faces. Comprised of 308, 829 photographs taken from over 50 unique locations, it took an average of 3.8 hours to make each second of this film. The intent of the project was to place our cameras in unique locations across the city, achieve significant ranges of dynamic camera motion, and pursue cutting edge time-lapse techniques.

Portland has been my home for over twenty years and I can't imagine living anywhere else.
Many Portlanders look at our city as a “big" small town, and in many ways that's true. During my time here the city has grown enormously in sophistication and scale, but has kept its friendly personality and progressive values. We are involved and passionate about our town, and the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well as evidenced by the small businesses that make up many of our neighborhood centers. Let me share my neighborhood knowledge with you!
What my clients say...
We never expected to fall in love with Portland….it just happened. And when we decided that we’d make our future home there, we started looking for a Realtor. I spoke to a good handful before it was extremely clear to me that Kathryn was just who we needed to be working with. Turned out I could not have been more right. -Bill Ballenberg
