on lighting designers

so I was thinking...

 good Lighting designers are kind of like the actors you never see on stage. you could do a show without a set. you could do a show without costumes. but if you do a show without light...
light motivates, sets the tone and the mood and controls the focus.

and much like a performance from an actor, the light on stage will never be the same twice. and once its done. it could never be recreated exactly the same.

video instalation

Prepping for this final video project.
I am very pleased with the way it has turned out, but it seems that the triggers I have set up arent always working
the Idea behind it is to be affected by the people around the installation.
IE. when it is loud lots of stuff happens on the tvs
when it is quiet it goes to a test pattern.
also Every 20 mins it will go to a commercial break
Its mostly working.

this is the last music video that will be in the project.

Slotin

heres a photo from slotin
such  fun working on this show.

another music video

So heres another of the videos that is in my video installation

seconds of beauty

so I just found out about this video competition

Aperently the point of the competition is to capture a moment of beauty in a second.
I have decided to make a few submissions myself
perhaps i will post them later.
Hey if i am feeling ambitious i might even make a sad piano compilation like this.

even more videos

As i said before I was making music videos to go with my media instillation project.

here is one

deadmau5 again

saw this, Apparently it wasn't so good live due to the mad base, but the Video is pretty cool
Nokia knows how to launch a phone thats for sure.
Although I dont see how this is 4D

rest, not for me

ok so the show is done, but now I have to work on my Projections project.

making some awesome videos for it though.

heres a clip
Also having tons of fun on this project, teaching myself Isadora has been a challenge but i have learned quite a bit

Slotin opens Sad to see it go

Slotin oppened
I think it was the most fun I have had on a production in a long time. Lord knows I was about ready to pack it in after the last show. now i feel renewed, the show was good, It was silly and I worked very hard on it. and i think lots of that had to do with the fact that it was so fun to work on.
I think if this had been a bad experience it probably would have resulted in me quiting school all together.

but that would be quite foolish seeing as how i am so close to the end and such.

space is awesome

sometimes I wonder why I didnt get in to Physics I think I would be happier in space

Q2Q slotin

so i decided to flm Q2Q of slotin, this is it condensed in to 3 seconds.
Took forever to render down the 14 hour day, but hey it looks kinda cool

what has been inspiring me latley

normaly I bounce off the people in my life

right now theres no one in my life that is that kind of important.

you know like a muse or whatever.

now it seems the absence of that person is what is inspiring me.

so here are some songs that i am in to right now, music thats making me want to keep doing stuff.

like you know breathing and whatever.

sombody that i used to know

this song just kind of kills me a little
its also an amazing video

I have been on this whole stop motion timelapse kick lately it seems

Slotin

still having loads of fun with Slotin
normally at this point the other shoe drops, but i feel like there has been no real pressure.
the whole experience has just been fun.
Q2Q is coming up and I think there might be lots of cues, but I dont think the day is going to be a long day, kind of like all the other shows I have worked on here.
heres another photo

more videos

So i am working on this install, and i have been filming like tons
I filmed a whole day of me in the theatre, then sped it up.
here are the results

fun with shadows

So working on Slotin has kind of rekindled my love of theatre.
I like the collaborative feel. I feel like I have an actual input on this show, and we are doing some really fun stuff
Ebbie is also a great director to work with.
This reminds me of what it was like to work back in montreal on Ubu and all the other shows i did
anyhow here is a shot of some of the stuff we are doing in the show

bustin out some sweet videos

So I have been playing with time lapse videos recently.
lots of fun to make these, but they take quite a long time to make

haloween fun

so I was supposed to make a video for craigs band the tulsa skull swingers.
unfortunately the venue didnt have the projectors set up, so we never got a chance to run the video.
but his band was silly fun.
Unfortunately I cant seem to find any videos of the band. so here is a puppy

foggy nights make for some cool pics

old photo

this was taken on my old 3mp camera.
