Under Water

I made this little ditty over the weekend.  It was the first time in a long time I was home with the sun out and it was warm enough to get into the pool.  I'll tell ya, nothing gets you into the water faster than a rolling camera!

Some Camera Fun

I went out a played a little with my Nikon d90 and GoPro HD cameras tonight. Came back and the footage looked pretty good. I have a few things to learn but not a bad starting point.

I meant to time lapse the GoPro but i recorded 1080p video. I then sped it up in FCP. All footage was transcoded to ProRes Proxy in Compressor

Music: "Mocoface" - PeopleMover
Lens: 70-300mm and GoPro wide
Cameras: Nikon D90 and GoPro Hero HD

A Little Something

As we get closer to Christmas and the end of the holidays, I thought I would share with with you all.  A few weeks ago, my friends Jeff and Lana threw a little Christmas get-together for some friends.  Jeff, our buddy Ryan, and I all work in the entertainment industry so when you get the three of us together, we either make music, order Papa John's, or shoot short films.

This is what we did at the party.

My Buddy Addison Kowalski made this awesome tutorial for how to create your very own 8-bit-style profile picture!  I made the one above by watching it and I think it looks pretty awesome!

The tutorial is embedded below.  All that's needed is:

• Photoshop
• The following are optional
• a computer
• a mouse
• a keyboard
• a monitor
• power
• eyes
• arms
• a torso
• hands (left and right)
• fingers (all 10 preferred.  5 on each hand if at all possible)

I'd love to see what you all come up with!

My Favorite Christmas Song (This Year)

This song has pretty much shaped up this Christmas season. Sure, my favorite Christmas song of all time and the song that is in my top-20 songs of any kind of all time is Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You," but this song has infected my Christmas season. I think my semi-annual 'funk' is upon us and this song makes it all better.



Enjoy!

My favorite song off this record

Yeah Yeah Yeah's - Skeletons

What makes time travel possible:

Ronald Reagan!

To continue the trend:

Yes, my third blog of the day... get used to it. Plus, this kinda sums up stuff:

"Shut your FUCK HOLE!"

You. Are. Welcome.

Phoenix

I saw this band on SNL and loved them. Now they're all over commercials and my iPod. This Take Away Show-series they did in Paris just makes them that much more bad ass. Enjoy.

One of my favorite blink videos

and they had nothing to do with it. This was a typography project this kid had to do for a college class. This was the FIRST TIME HE EVER USED AFTER EFFECTS! Blew my mind. This was the first one I saw and I went to watch others to see if they were as good and they all sucked hard. I was blown away by this kid's work and hope blink pick up on it. Also, i LOVE this song. SO underrated!

Enjoy!

WTG Mark Silverman!

One of the stars of "The Undying Monsters!" is the leading Rod Serling VO talent in the world and did this for KTLA's Thanksgiving marathon. You may have also heard him while dropping into a seedy hotel in the dark side of Hollywood...
