A Mercenary Tale
0Back in September, a couple of friends were working on a short film treatment. On a whim, they asked me to throw together a short edit of the project they were shooting – just something quick and dirty to see what I was capable of putting together. It’s not exactly the way I had envisioned it turning out, but 3 months later, after numerous overnight editing sessions, I finally finished my “music video” version of A Mercenary Tale.
Stop. Motion. Sickness.
0Summer nights. I love them. I miss them. Winter nights are cool too, but cruising around is obviously more fun with the warm air on your bare skin, the windows down, the music way up.
I made this video back in August, shortly after finishing a project that included some stop motion footage. It is by no means amazing (a simple test really), but I finally got around to uploading it and so I’m posting it here.
Be forewarned: It’s pretty shaky + mostly blurry. Regardless, try to enjoy it!
Saving used + damaged goods
0In the midst of Christmas shopping, I found a toy Wall-E figure whose packaging had been ripped apart slightly. Knowing full well that the item inside was still perfectly intact despite this, I asked an employee if I could get some sort of discount and managed to save nearly 25% because of the broken box. Nice.
Earlier last week, I also picked up a Korg Kaossilator and Korg miniKP from Craigslist and saved a considerable amount of money by purchasing these second-hand rather than brand new. Nice.
So tonight, I decided to have a little fun with my new toys. I hope you enjoy the test drive!
