Coming Soon:Lots of updates

Hey guys, I’ve been hard at work but ignoring my site. I’ll be updating this site with a plethora of videos with in the next few dates.

Raconteur: Episode 3 – The California Trip

Hey, NEW EPISODE! Exciting stuff, this one is about my week long trip to Orange, California with Laura. Unfortunately our cameras died out so often that most of the exciting parts were not filmed. So all we have filmed were the times we ate and I realized the episode made it look like all we did was eat the whole trip. So in light of this information, I unofficially dub this Raconteur episode: The California Smorgasbord.

I’m on the first page!

Alright this might not seem like big news to anyone other than me, but luckily I pick which posts make it on the site. 

When I posted my short film, Limonade, on youtube last year, it was push a few pages back. Apparently most people think Limeade is actually Limonade, a word that doesn’t actually exist. So anytime someone typed Limonade on youtube, their would be hundreds of videos to view. So my short film was pushed back to the third or fourth page.

Well, thanks to viewers on youtube and people giving my film an average 5 stars I am now on the first page when you type “Limonade”! I’m the fifth one down.

Now, with your help, I think I could be the first one in the list if you just viewed my short and rated it. It would be so great if you can help me do that. Comment if you have a youtube account. Thank you to everyone who has helped.

California

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know I’m still alive. This picture was taken by me in Laguna Beach, California. Amazing, expect something soon.

Raconteur: Episode 2

Hey guys, I just flew in from California last night, and boy was that trip great. I tried getting this video up before I left but the darn thing wouldn’t upload. In this Episode I talk about the day I spent with Jarod, a concert and Tony goes to the emergency room.

RIP: Isaac Hayes

 

Isaac Hayes, born in 1942 in Covington, Tenn. died on Sunday August 10th, about 8 hours ago, in Memphis. At 65, he was a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and a famous soul singer most well known for singing “Theme from Shaft“. 

The Grammy winner also voiced “Chef” on South Park until he quit in 2006 after an episode which mocked Scientology aired on Comedy Central.

One thing that really pulled me back was when I checked his Wikipedia page today I found someone made a very obtuse joke on his page, which you can see below.

Another thought that made me think was the fact that Bernie Mac, entertainer and comedian, died the previous day. Which is peculiar because both Hayes and Mac just finished production on a MGM film titled Soul Men.

Soul Men will be released in theaters November 14, 2008, and will be starring Bernie Mac and Samuel L. Jackson.

God bless.

New Phone Number

Yea, I just got a new business phone number, (310) 601-8755. For those who have my personal phone number, that one still works too.

Oh, and how do you guys like the new “Categories” menu? I think it’s much easier to navigate on.

I Finally Upgraded to Leopard!

After what seemed like ions, I upgraded my trusty old iMac G5 to Leopard. Panther was beginning to show its age so using 10.5 is such a pleasure. Mac OS X is beginning to mature, not age, very well.

Ironically enough, I was “forced” to upgrade because my girlfriend, Laura, surprised me with a birthday gift, an iPhone 3G. But the iPhone required Leopard to work.

If there is one disappointment in the upgrade, it’s that Leopard doesn’t show a huge improvement in styles of fonts. I mean, my friends have had Tiger and I used to use Tiger at work, so there wasn’t a whole lot of new fonts for me to look forward to. And it doesn’t seem that Snow Leopard (10.6) will show a vast improvement on font types either.

SHORTS: The Ticket

Okay, now that you have seen “SNAFU”, you can watch “The Ticket”. The first film I worked on with good friend Chad Moulder. This was the original film we were going to send in The Doorpost Film Project before Chad decided to film “SNAFU”.

Enjoy
