Highlight of the day: The Dunsmuir Brewery Works booth at the 30th annual Santa Cruz Clam Chowder Cookoff, and this fine gentleman on the accordion:

Gnomes / Robots / Pizza

It’s taken a few years (this was shot in Fall 2006), but I finally got my non-linear film project from UCSC’s Film 170A (Fundamentals of Digital Media Production) up on YouTube. It had only existed on a DVD until now, using the remote to navigate between clips. Using YouTube’s Annotations feature, I was able to link it all together so it makes (some) sense. Have a look and try to get through the whole story (16 clips).

Thanks to Christopher Hermelin, Roy the Gnome, and KZSC.

Oh, and be sure to click the buttons on the screen at the end of the clip – it’s a lot more than these initial 11 seconds.

Two Week Challenge

My housemate Christopher and I are challenging each other every two weeks to keep things exciting this year.

My first two week challenge of 2010. The challenge: make a lip-sync video to Franz Ferdinand’s “Take Me Out” starring at least 10 people I didn’t know personally.

I started out in Dolores Park, and rocked out with a few fun folks, but after getting a full time job the next day, realized I needed another way to get videos. That’s where Reddit and Amazon’s Mechanical Turk came in. Thanks internet! For free to a dollar, you sent me videos of yourselves a-sing-song.

So here’s the final product, 10 people, 1 cat, and 1 crazy deer.

100 Photos in 100 Days

From July – November 2009, I “made” something every day. Usually a photo, sometimes a video, but something got uploaded to Flickr daily. Here’s the full slideshow. View images individually here.

Stay tuned for MSCED 2010.

5dmk2 HD video test

Not so shabby! Although a external mic would be nice. What a strange niche market – an external mic for a digital SLR.

maddbadger, maddbadger, maddbadger

So, I guess this blog has turned into a portfolio of sorts showcasing my work, with the occasional non-me-related think I find awesome. Well, this time I have something that falls into both categories.

Inspired by my housemate, Christopher, doing his rapping thing as usual, my other housemate and I decided that his “name” maddbadger deserved some making fun of. And perhaps some badgering. An idea was born – make the badger badger flash animation into Christopher.

After a few hours of re-learning After Effects, and wishing over and again that I simply had the original .fla file to work with, I created the amazing maddbadger.com – go look, even if you don’t know him.

I guess this (and similar things) is what happens when I have a bit too much free time on my hands. I’m slightly worried what will happen to the interwebs when I graduate next month. Yikes.
