Video Description: “I submitted this video for the KISS Contest, the Kamloops Independent Short Short film competition on May 15, 2008. It is the most recent example of my experiments with my portable projector connected to my video iPod. See other experiments here (ADD LINK LATER). The video shows images of animals that used to live where I now live projected into different spaces of the house. Then, projected videos of youtube into nature, hoping the animals in the shadows might enjoy them.”

Here, the desktop of Mac OS X replaces music video software. I found this video at TUAW.

A very cool video for the Mac-user geek. Very creative use of the mac. The video was done by Dennis Liu.

I’m not sure how he recorded the screenshots. But if you want to do something similar, I recommend a program for Mac OS X called Snapz, which does video screenshots.

Keep Your Eyes Ahead - The Helio Sequence

DoAn — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 04:38:16 +0000

Don’t know anything about the band, nor the video director, who is Whitey McConnaughy — but what I like is the video concept. I like this portable stage that they’ve made for the band. Skip ahead to the end of the video and check out this portable stage set up in all kinds of empty areas of Portland, late at night. Wish I had a set-up like that, but I don’t know where I’d put it.
I googled the video and found this article which says more about the making of it.

Control

DoAn — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 07:26:17 +0000

My hometown, Kamloops, population 85,000 people, is having its annual film festival now. By the time these films come to Kamloops, they’re all pretty much available on DVD already, but what a treat it is to see these films on the silver screen. I couldn’t pass on seeing Control.
How awesome Control is, directed by Anton Corbijn, telling the story of the last few years of the life of Ian Curtis, singer of the band Joy Division.
The film is a first feature for Corbijn, who has had a career photographing bands (including Joy Division) since the 1970s, and has had much success making music videos from the early 1980s until the present.
He brings such control to Control, which the characters of the film can’t escape from. They seem trapped by the shadows, by the brick, by the wallpaper, by the black & white, by their bodies and their minds. The antithesis of this control is the epilepsy of the main character Curtis. As I recall, there’s only two or three scenes in the whole movie which actually leave the city — the scene where the young Curtis proposes to his girlfriend, the scene where the band is driving back from London and he has a seizure on the side of the motorway at night, and the awesome final shot of the movie, which pans up from the church, and black smoke is expelled from the chimney, and the distant hills are seen. It’s a release.
How intense the movie is. And how intense the music is.

North Pacific Gyre

I just heard recently for the first time of the North Pacific Gyre. Apparently, it is a huge collection of floating garbage covering twice the surface area of the state of Texas. It floats in the Pacific Ocean somewhere between Hawaii and California. All the garbage there is said to weigh more than 3.5 million tonnes. The thought that something like this might exist first came to me on an isolated beach on a small island named Ikema. Ikema Island is in the island chain of Okinawa. This island chain traces a line from the southern tip of Japan to the island of Taiwan. Directly north of Ikema Island is the peninsula of Korea. Further south is the Philippines …

I Know I’m Not Alone

admin — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 18:03:23 +0000

Last night, I saw a free screening of this movie by Michael Franti, I Know I’m Not Alone. The movie captures the journey of Franti’s journey to Iraq, Israel, and Pakistan. On the film’s website, Franti says in a statement, “This film came out of my frustration with watching the nightly news and hearing generals, politicians and pundits, explaining the political and economic cost of the war in the Middle East, without ever mentioning the human cost.” The film is very simply made and edited. Franti is our guitar-playing guide and intermediary to the lives of the people he encounters. It’s a simple set-up, but much more intimate — you feel like you’re there, too, with the people. The film’s website is here: http://www.iknowimnotalone.com/

Here’s more of a straight-up music video, not shown in the movie, but featuring one of the movie’s main songs:

Thought While Editing

It’s sad to edit out an entire group of scenes originating from one shooting location. Makes me think what was the point of standing in that spot for 10 minutes filming things I wouldn’t keep. I could have sat down and stored my energy for something really worth filming.
