Black Dynamite - Trailer

Ok I was just rolling from this…what a funny movie in 70’s action style. The martial arts scenes are very old school, LOL.

It’s just classic when Black Dynamite says, “..I am smiling”.

The Colony

(LINK) - The Colony

This Discovery Channel Series relies a bit on suspension of disbelief to watch, but the main benefit here is that it simulates a global disaster - which of course is what the world appears to eventually be leading to, refer to my
(LINK) - “2012 - Who Will Be Left Behind” blog post for information on why/how, etc.

Each participant in the 10 week experiment held in Los Angeles has a key role in helping the colony to survive in the wake of a global disaster. They must find food, water, shelter, protection from marauders and eventually rebuild civilization.

I actually watched all season 1 episodes within a week; I highly recommend this series and it is in a relational survival fashion to the series Jericho.

Michael Jordan - Hall of Fame Speech

Sept. 11—Michael Jordan, a five-time National Basketball Association Most Valuable Player and winner of a record 10 scoring titles, was among five people inducted to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Much respect to one of my childhood heroes, the legendary Michael Jordan. There will never be another MJ…it’s a different time….definitely the greatest basketball player of all time.

Legally Blonde - The Musical

I was backstage for opening night of Legally Blonde - The Musical. They had a cast party after the show.

The cast were a bunch of energetic young adults. I came in contact with 4 female cast members briefly: Coleen Sexton who plays the character Brooke asked where she could get a salad, (LOL), Rhiannon Hansen who plays the character Margot was down to earth enough to say hi, Cortney Wolfson who plays the character Serena talked about parking issues. I found it interesting that Becky Gulsvig who plays the character Elle Woods rode her bike back and forth from the hotel to backstage - she would wait way after most of the cast members already left after the show for a male cast member who brought his bike too; she’d wave bye to the few of us still remaining backstage.

I liked the 2 movies a bit more, but movies are obviously different from musicals. The songs were ok, but not as memorable as other musicals. You know when you hear a song and it bugs cause it repeats - the song “Omigod You Guys” was one of those - ahh turn it off.

I did view the Broadway special that was broadcasted on MTV and it was a lot better than the current US National Tour, but it’s because it was 3 performances edited together and featured the Original Broadway Cast.

Well, what’s good about this musical is that it brings the musical genre to the younger MTV generation. It was rather ironic that in one of the last scenes, there were actual gay male cast members playing gay characters in a courtroom; this gave the audience a good chuckle.

Ahh..maybe this musical will grow on me, as I’ll have the opportunity to be backstage again.

(Update: the 2nd time around was enjoyable and adds as a good compliment to fans of the original movies).

Congratulations to Eileen & Vinnie

Congrats to my sister Eileen and Vinnie on their marriage!

She asked me to do her montage and I squeezed it into my already hectic production schedule - which included 3 projects concurrently in production. I don’t typically do weddings, except sometimes for an occasional big budgeted celebrity style wedding - as those provide the creative outlet backed up by compensation for the time required for professional creativity. However this was my sister’s wedding and family comes 1st - thankfully though, they asked Vinnie’s friend James to document & edit their wedding as I wanted to enjoy her wedding and I don’t want her waiting long in line behind my previous production committments; so her request for a montage worked out for the both of us.

Montages are cool, ‘cause they’re small projects and take less time; I feel that story, suprises, and a sense of exploration of human emotions make out for an entertaining montage. It’s discouraging to see couples put their family/friends through a boring slideshow. The issue with good montages however, is that the time needed for creativity far out weighs the production budget.

In this case, I didn’t have time to do all the 3D layering-picture-to video effects I wanted to, so to compensate I maximized the other techniques. It was an outdoor reception and I played the montage from my iPhone 3GS connected to the projector that was angled onto the outside high wall of the building.  All in all, to my suprise, it actually turned out well and from the audience’s positive feedback, I’ll add that to my list of work as another successful project.

View their wedding picture/video montage via 2 methodologies:

1) The long, rewarding method:
In the screening room flash portion of this site - Click on: Screening Room - Enter Here,  Click Here to Watch/The Work, Click Here to View the Work, then on popup window click on Video Link #8.

2) The short, internet ADD method:
(LINK) - Videos
Then click on Video Link #8.

Which ever of the 2 methods you utilize, the video is about 113 megs / 360x270, so if you don’t have a fast internet connection and the video keeps stopping ‘cause it’s playing faster than it’s loading, then you would have to pause the player and allow the file to load before viewing. The montage is posted with it downloadable for those who want a copy and have the apps to rip, however it’s not posted at the best available quality as that’d be over 1.2 gig / 720x480.
