ASO Show House CM 2007

Commercial for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's annual Designer Show House.  Also shot portions of footage of design construction for HGTV and a 2:30 package done for Comcase OnDemand video servie.

Shot with Canon XL2, Edited on Adobe Premiere CS3, Photoshop CS3, and Illustrator CS3.

(I actually shot the video straight to my laptop's hard drive in my backpack and then edited the rough cut in the truck on the same laptop to show the client on-site.  I love technology!)

Wanna see some of my video and multimedia work?



The next few weeks, I'm gonna be overhauling my website, StreetSideMedia.com with some new content and more examples of my work (so I can find another job amongst other things)

I'll also be cross-posting some of those items here so the people that are subscribed to my daily rants and ravings can see that I do have some skills to offer to this poor world....

Also want to let everyone know that I will be making a personal site, really soon. The blog will get moved over there-- but I'll just probably iFrame it because I'm way too lazy to try and set Wordpress up just for my own personal crap. Blogger does a good job of what I need it to do, not to mention I use my Treo a lot to post live video and photos to it using Shozu or a direct email... No need to re-invent the wheel for this thing, right?

Houki Boshi. Youna said it best...

Remember this song? See a few posts back about the Bleach season 3 ending. Even with my horrible Japanese ability, this song spoke to me, and inspired the post before this one.

This song is about someone wanting to turn into a comet so that the light would always be next to the person she loved. Somehow before I translated this song for myself, I felt that's what it meant. And somehow I used to say that to the person I loved.

So to my little star that probably never thinks of me anymore, if I turn into a comet-- I can fly by you all the time and we'll both light the heavens someday.

My celestial darling.  そら住むの恋人。

I know you're gone.  And I know it was my fault.  Just know that not a single day has gone by since that time that I haven't wished I could change that day.  Its the only single regret I have had in this life. 


I told you before that you are a star waiting to shine, and if I only had one wish, it would be to be able to see you take your place in the sky so I can bask in your light. 

Now I fear I will never get to see that day.  And forever I search the starry heavens for your glow.

The emptiness my heart has, you'll never know.

No matter what I do...  I've climbed trees, then hills, then buildings, and mountains.  Even jumped out of a plane...  I can never get any closer to you than I was before. 


Won't you let me talk to you in the clouds once more?

Evicted!

Someone got evicted from the apartment across from me and all their stuff was put into the parking lot. This is all that's left now after 2 hours of my neighbors picking through it. Glad I paid my rent!

Yuck Mouth!

BIG YUKMOUTH! Am I the only one that remembers Mr. Yuck here from the commercials that used to air during Voltron, Transformers, G.I. Joe and M.A.S.K.? Mr. Yuck was a guaranteed laugh for a bunch of 7 and 8 year-olds because he would drink things like Drain-O and Windex and eat things like 74 Bufferin or Grandma's blood pressure pills and pass out-- after making the trademark face you see here. OK so the message was clear--don't be eating nothin' stupid, dumb-ass! But over time my twisted mind (along with my siblings and other friends) have made this face countless times and used it to symbolize things we really don't care for at the time. Like my current job situation. Or my current dating situation. Or my curr-- you get the point. So here's to Mr. Yuck, who for the last 25 years has symbolized things that you shouldn't ingest, be it literally or figuratively.
