I recently pulled together a bunch of clips from films and commercials I've worked on in the past little bit and put them into a reel for all to see. Let me know what you think.

The Rent
You know, I posted this on Facebook, and I'm reposting it here because, as crazy as this guy seems, he's very right in a lot of ways.
At least you know where he stands on the issues. If rent wasn't so high, especially in places like New York, people might actually be able to afford health care and take care of themselves.

Autotunes, Remixes and Mashups
With some encouragement, I'm going to try to start doing some remixes or mashups. Since moving to Bozeman, I've opened Pro Tools a total of one time, which is extremely disappointing to me. Below is my most successful YouTube video in this category.

Ad Campaigns
For those of you who have never seen this, I'd like you to take a moment.
YosemiteBear, as he calls himself, has gotten a whole array of comments in the past nine months; everything from, "What were you smoking, and where can I get some?" to, "What an amazing experience."
Microsoft, looking to capitalize on such a quirky viral video (17 million+ views) has recruited YosemiteBear to promote their new version of Windows Live software, which isn't anything special anyways.
Photo stitching? Really? EVERY Canon point and shoot comes with that capability out-of-the-box. Its just another example of the ridiculous computer/tech commercials that say, "Man, this laptop is great! I can check my email, and look at photos, watch movies, and listen to music... its... great!" Once again, EVERY laptop does that exact same thing, and has since 2002! EVERY smartphone does that exact same thing!
It just brings to mind a whole slough of poorly crafted advertising schemes as of late, such as the 10:10UK campaign that wants to promote "going green" by depicting, well, essentially acts of terrorism (hence the video thumbnail), in a very graphic manner:
::WARNING! NOT FOR YOUNG EYES, PREGNANT WOMEN, OR THOSE WITH BLADDER CONTROL OR HEART ISSUES.::
Taking a horror film class my last semester in school, I can honestly say that I can make the educated statement that the violence portrayed in this film for the sake of grotesque violence is essentially to cure the thirst of titillating images for the sick and deranged. Essentially pornography for those who would support and enjoy such an ad campaign.
Genius campaigns as of late have spurred some great, and clean I might ad, comic moments to the advertising world. Not the least of which are the Old Spice ads with Isaiah Mustafa.
Everyone loves a good copycat, which the Harold B. Lee Library did very well this past summer.
Don't even get me started on political ads... that's a whole 'nother post.

2 of the sweetest mashups!!!
here's a video i just found in a forum... yeah, i should be studying for my last final, but i found out that its available an hour later than i expected... but yeah, i do still need to pack.
This one was taken from a bunch of instrumental instructional videos that musicians posted on YouTube:
This one was made by a bunch of guys traveling all over the world, getting street musicians to all sing the same song, Stand By Me, and editing it so they sing together. Brilliant.
they've got a bunch more, just search, Playing for Change Song Around the World.
Besides all this funness, Jewelyn and I have finally gotten all of our stuff moved!!! We took loads from my house yesterday and I had to clean my apartment, which was a beast in itself. and then we took a load from Jewelyn's house last night. she has to clean today.
i spent the night for the first time at our new place, and it was great. nice and chilly downstairs. i woke up to JJ hauling stuff in from the car and eating breakfast.
As for finals, i still need to study and take my religion final, and finish my final project for Recording. so... i'm off to do that now... toodles!
