According to a recent mad manifesto I wrote, this blog is the video blog. Its purposes are roughly:news on anything directly related to film or video. Projects taken on, inspiring works and moments (may be some LJ overlap there), the evolution of concepts, technical achievements ideas or practices, film work or anything about schooling, news, video posts -- so there's a lot of material I've

Now, a long time ago I said I'd upload my latest video, White Boar. Here it is, at last: There. It was hard to convert to the proper size. Finally I found an apparent miracle program called "SUPER." What follows is the description I posted with the video on Youtube.The blurb I wrote for the my UBC film program application:"'White Boar,' made after Revelevating in 2007 for the same FIPR class,

I'm updating... the film class I mentioned in my last post is long concluded. The one minute video I talk about can be found here:I made another video, too, it's about a boy who discovers his door with its whiteboard can be used as a portal to anywhere you write on said whiteboard. I haven't been able to upload it, neither on youtube nor here, because of size. I'll keep trying to get it up and

Hey blog about videos, it's been a while.I can't believe I never wrote here about my video class. it's good stuff.As a result I'm now working on a one-minute video. I've filmed half of it, maybe even the whole thing. Actors, man, actors are a pain. But the actress says she's astrologically aligned. I'm not very good at talking to girls, though, not good at it, no, not really good at it very

Yes! As in, I actually exclaimed "yes!" when typing that. As in, I continue to yell it every time I read it.I'm finally registered in my film production class. Ahhhhwhich means I'm taking down priority on the Tokyo Police Club video and upping priority on the films for the class.first thing we have to do is a one-minute enterprise. I have to submit what amounts to a treatment on my idea by email

I just started looking into transfer applications for going from UBC to some other film school. I was looking at the top brass film programs: USC, NYU, UCLA, CalArts, Art Center College of Design, and then also SVA in New York (where someone particularly interesting from eighth grade is going). I glanced at Chapman. I hope I don't have to go there.USC, UCLA, and SVA don't require portfolios. I

Hey, so, I'm here, I'm in Vancouver.I'm studying a lot and eating sometimes and there are classes.When it comes to film, I have a roommate who's also interested in film. He's two or three or four years older than me, and he has a lot more material that he's done. He seems totally down on the video idea. Or pretty much any idea. So, I just have to finish outlining. But I think it's far enough

When you get it down into Final Cut Pro it seems so much smaller -- by which I mean more brief. Forgotten are all the hours and days and weeks of photgraphing frame after frame, erased from memory are all the mistakes and so are all the hours spent correcting them. In editing, it all comes down to a minute and eight seconds, stretched by correctional efforts and the addition of inserts to a

This blog begins just as I finish an approximately minute-long stop motion video about a golem, one made from real clay.If you've observed the Yiddish in my posting name "Eagle Macher Squid Shmegegge," then you've probably hooked me up with some sort of motif. I'm a pretty secular, cheeseburger-eating guy, though. Jewish stuff is not a must in my films. It is a big part of my background, though.
