Come and check us out THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 20TH at 9 PM @PEACOCK LOUNGE AND GOLD ROOM! I’ll be showcasing my new video, “Transgender Nation” plus an all new video to accompany a live performance of an original music by Aaron Priskorn (Venus) on trumpet

This will be a great event chock full of music and art so I hope you can make it!

::MORE INFO:: (more…)

1,272 photos from my moments series, remixed to “Music is The Victim” by the Scissor Sisters. my moments series are a series of photos, all photos taken in the past four years, put together at 0.03 seconds a piece and put to music. for this video, i put them at 0.04 seconds, which added a slightly noticeable delay and fits well with the music.

i’ve also focused more on the “animated” series of photos. this is my first step in experimenting with animating by taking a series of photos. i think the next thing i want to do is incorporate this into a video or the next short film i do.

enjoy!

don’t blink! you might miss something!

this is part two to my “moments” video i did last year. this one has over 4,900 photos during a period of more than one year.

Film submitted as part of the 2007 San Francisco 48 Hour Film Project.

Genre: Drama
Prop: Jar of Coins
Character: Chef Mayo or Maggie Logan
Line: “Call me as soon as you hear anything.”

it’s been a crazy emotionally charged weekend, but i think i’ve come out of it with a really great film!

i am proud of everyone on the team, and we really pulled together created something new! the film evolved from a shitty script i threw together friday night and became it’s own creation.

it truly was a collaborative effort and wouldn’t exist without everyone giving their own input, improv, and re-writing their own scenes.

once the ball started rolling and we started filming, fun was had by all. at least i know i did! i hope i did just a great a job with the editing as everyone did with their own parts!

i can only hope my editing can do them justice.

i have amazing people in my life.

i’m going to try to get the film online soon and i’ll post it here!

This is an open call for actors, filmmakers, editors, musicians, or anyone with talent or just enthusiasm to have some fun!

The 48 Hour Film Project takes place on June 15th through 17th. I expect to shoot the morning of Saturday, June 16th, for most of the day. Editing will take place Saturday night through Sunday up until the deadline time.

We have 48 hours to make a short 3-7 minute film based on certain criteria obtained at the kick-off party on Friday, June 15th.

Criteria (or elements) that will be chosen that night include:
- A Character
- A Prop
- A Line of Dialogue
- A Genre (to be chosen out of a hat at random)

My team is called Lame Title Productions and I already have a wonderful selection of talented people, but I’m always looking for more talent and production help!

We’re completely amateur and we’re just out to have some fun and make a film. This will be a no-budget production.
