Inspired by the video for Come Into My World, by Kylie Minogue, I tried to do a match-move effect. Normally this kind of effect is done with motion control cameras. In my case, I had no such equipment. But I did have a stopwatch, a mind for solving problems, and a really […]
Things to do on a lazy afternoon: Work? Nah. Clean? Nah. Strap a camera to a remote control car and shoot some video? Sure!
Now that I have a real video camera, I feel less protective of my other one. So much, that I decided to duct tape it […]
I figure I’m going to start using Google Video. The annoying part was that I had to write a WordPress plug-in to accomplish this. I was forced to learn a bunch of php stuff that I didn’t want to, but what’s done is done.
Here are some teasers to prove that all is working […]
What was I doing one year ago? Well, I was playing with Adobe After Effects. My challenge was to do a flying car. This week I’ll discuss what I learned and what I’d do differently.
Masking the car wasn’t too hard. It takes a bit of time, but it’s not so bad, […]
So tonight I took a foray into the world of Machinima. If you can’t be bothered to click the link and read a couple of minutes for a definition, I’ll give you the short version: use a video game engine as the camera, set and actors for making films.
Let’s the tech out of the […]

Boo!!!
Do you have enough courage for a terrifying Halloween surprise?
Watch the video, if you dare. I’ll give you a clue: ZEUS

“I wanna say a little something that’s long overdue”, go the lyrics to Sure Shot by The Beastie Boys. My first music-video-length animation has finally made its debut. The video is a fast moving collage of imagery that mostly conveys the literal meaning lyrics, but sometimes it plays games with you, inviting you […]
The first comment I received about this short was that it was dark. The second, was that it was an art film. Heaven and Earth fits the bill in both ways. What comes off as perhaps a cynical view of religion is intended to be more of a Taoist commentary on the perils […]
In 2006, on the warmest January day this city has seen in a hundred years, I took the Canon XL2 into the backyard to shoot some video. The finished product, called Melting, is a visual exploration of what the sun does to ice and snow on a warm winter’s day–set to an instrumental soundtrack.
The movie […]
