Are you ready for another StreetSide Media film? This time Benrose, my partner in crime, wrote a challenge for your favorite camera-jockey... a 14 minute long tracking shot. How to work this? Thank God for Home Depot! We built a dolly and threw some furniture in our empty-ass storefront we pass off as a set... At equal parts of talent, crew, and equipment and you get the first StreetSide Media production shot in our own facilities!! Now that's hot...
A 14 minute short comedy parodying reality TV shows. No cuts, no edits... Just action!

We've entered it into a new reality TV competition called The Lot.
On the Lot is the new Fox reality filmmaking show, where filmmaker contestants produce short films to compete for a $1 Million development deal. Please vote for StreetSide's own Ben Rose-- a vote for him, means a vote for me too-- He's the MC and I'm the DJ. Without both of us, StreetSide doesn't exist!

Densha Otoko (Train Guys)

natsukashi naaaaa.. I was there this time last year, and like the last 6 years, I'll be there again for sometime this year. Never ceases to amaze me how people can have fun and do things in public that us paranoid Yanks call out the nat'l guard, SWAT, Bomb Squad, etc for... I soooo miss being over there everytime someone calls the police for things like LED battery-operated signs with cartoon characters flippin the bird.. F this place.

It's that time of year again... sakura ga mosigu deru yo.... That means its almost cherry blossom time in Japan again... And this is the time I love most in Japan, so I'm on the hunt for cheap-ass tix to get over there... This pic is for my boy BreakDown... He ate so much Dango in Oji when we were there, I thought he was gonna marry the woman selling them in the train station!!

They have EVERYTHING in Japan...

As much as I love Japan, there are some things I just don't care for there though.... But I have to admit, I miss ol' Razor Ramon's antics when I would turn on the TV (or just go outside) in Japan.
