Glitch
In a recent post I talked about my discovery of the glitch generator called Smack My Glitch Up. I really wanted to try and take this website and use it for video. The product actually worked out exactly as I envisioned it. I just had to make multiple glitched images on the parts of video that I wanted to be effected. It was shot with my GoPro Hero and the music is by Morgan Craft.

Recent Photography
Some pictures to go along with my video "Big Horse". Hoping to do more of these soon. Taken with a Pentax K1000. Follow me on Flickr here.
Superman's Family Tapes Vol. 1
I don't really know why I made this. I basically wanted to take a .gif and make it more interesting. This was the outcome.
Robert Lyons - Sweet Music
This funktastic rotoscoped beauty was made from 16mm film shot circa 1968 for the R&B group The Bandwagon.
More Selections from Lisa Stang
We all struggle with transition and we all deal with it in different ways. Lisa Stang photographs her changing "home" as she continues to find new inspiration wherever she goes. These beautiful photographs were taken with a Mamiya C33. View more of her work at her flickr site here.

Big Horse
I was recently inspired by work using figurines and wanted to try my hand at a few different projects. This stop motion animation, Big Horse, is one of them.
Lisa
I have been wanting to play with the idea of representing the traditional portrait in video form. I think the subtle movements lock the viewer even more intensely into the gaze of the subject. Through this medium more life is formed and a longer moment can be shared. This first piece is Lisa and was shot on the Canon 7D.

Shapes
Really haven't had the chance to make anything recently. This is a simple animation that I've wanted to make for a while. The inspiration came from a piece I saw submitted to the "Primitives" 5 Second Project on greyscalegorilla.com. The inspiration used Cinema 4D and After Effects, I simply wanted to create a version using Apple Motion. Enjoy.

Alec Soth: Photographer
Alec Soth has always been one of my biggest photography influences. I fell in love with his NIAGARA series and have been a fan ever since. His most recent work for the New York Times involved him taking portraits in Rockford, Illinois. The goal was to take the focus of today's economy and put it on people who actually have jobs, finding out how secure they felt. The website has wonderful interviews to go along with the pictures. I suggest you visit the site here.
The Wave Pictures - Sweetheart
A lot of planning and work must go in to a piece like this. A beautiful video by Ben Reed. Also visit his website here.
Music by The Wave Pictures, get the album here.
Sour then Sweet
An amazingly offbeat and almost dark representation of Sour Patch Kids

New video by Special Problems
This video has everything going for it. Take the "Loud Pipes" beat by Ratatat, some smooth rap, hilarious animation and mix them all together and out comes this gem by Special Problems.
Mobile
I am now mobile with my blogging, this is a picture of my favorite lot where I have been experimenting with my firework videos.
Roman Candle test with Canon 7D
Just messing around with reversing and slowing down footage at 60fps. I enjoy making a simple composition to treat the video more like a photograph or a portrait. Using the Canon 7D with a Zeiss 50mm prime lens.

Apple Motion
Sometimes at work clients just don't see eye to eye with us and a lot of good art gets lost in the ether. This is just one animation that I finished on my own time that was meant for a much bigger project.
HD GoPro
Got this camera for Christmas, just spent a weekend playing around with it. Great for getting those dangerous shots you can't with your more expensive camera.
