@tedvid: I don't recall opening Photo Booth, which is probably why i jumped when I looked up at my screen from my phone to see me staring back at me.

Movie Posters

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

Well, suffice it to say.. I have failed epically on posting two videos a day for you all. So, I owe you guys at least an explanation as to what I have been doing before I get back to doing that again this next week because judging by the traffic bump on the site, you all enjoyed it.

Besides doing lots of work for iThemes this summer (Yeah, every word to this point is a link to something I’ve made, so pick a word and check it out), I’ve been gorging on movies and music. Also, I’ve found some time to do some reading and audiobook listening which is always a bonus.

To help break it down more for you and to make sure you’re spared the boring details here’s a simple list of things that apply to my life currently based off some inspiration from a blog post by my friend, Nathan Reynolds.

Movie Posters
Passion Pit
Titus
New MacBook Pro : )
Dwelling
Commutes
Future
Positively Overwhelmed
Compassion
When does football season get here?
Friendship

If you want more detail you’ll have to ask below, otherwise – why give you information you don’t want/need?

Last thing – I was messing with GarageBand and my brother’s musical ability, and have put together a pretty catchy 45 second audio clip you can download/listen to here.

See ya this week!

Modern Glitch

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Everything I’ve seen from people who are attending/have attended the Vancouver Film School Foundation has been intriguing. I told you yesterday that I’d feature another Ryan Smith video today so here you have it. My friend, Brad Ulrich, pointed out to me when I showed this to him yesterday that it has some semblance of this piece and I definitely agree that there is some inspiration drawn from it.

Digging the old billboards in this one a ton.

Pre-iPad Motion Magazine

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

I titled this post the “pre-iPad” motion magazine because now this kind of thing can actually happen. Well.. at least parts of it. I don’t think letters fall off of the iPad and rearrange themselves.. Anyway, I digress. Liked seeing that they obviously planned way ahead. I particularly enjoyed the series that starts at around 17 seconds. Go check out some of Ryan Smith’s stuff – it’s all pretty good. I’m featuring another one of his pieces tomorrow.

Vampire Weekend and Typography

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Although there are parts of this I think could be improved upon. The idea from June Harrild is just wonderful. I would love it if bands actually commissioned someone to do this to correspond with the song and the standard music video because I think it really helps bring clarity out of songs like Vampire Weekend’s typical stuff. Plus, it also more clearly lays out the specific lyrics for those of us who have a tendency to not realize they’ve been singing a song wrong for years (notice I did not fully admit anything there). Anyway, motion typography + Vampire Weekend = a good start to your Wednesday morning, am I right?

(Best sequence is from 2:40-2:45 in my opinion)

Best Wedding Invitation I’ve Ever Seen

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

I hope to tell you that if I ever do find the one, I’m convincing her that we need to do this. Creative. Awesome. Easily Accessible. Now the trouble is.. finding that girl. Anyway, you came here for my commentary on the video – not my (lack of) love life. I think setting the shots up as if they were pictures was what did it for me. Love the idea and hope to see more of this soon.

Motion Blur

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

I’m not sure whether or not all of the motion blur in this video was intentional or not, however it alone makes this video watchable. Surprisingly, the guy who made it (Rob Wilson) was in high school at the time which kind of adds to the innocence of the video (if you see this post Rob don’t take that comment as derogatory – it’s a positive thing). Love some of the bike shots along the sand near the water. Song was from Angus & Julia Stone and I figured this post might be an uplifting start to your week (for those of you who were off yesterday for Memorial Day like I was – hence the no posts from yesterday).

Be sure to check back later today for the next post – very neat idea for a wedding invitation.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
