I’m watching this conference.

Some Japanese uber geeks playing music on their Nintendo DS’.

Video (.asx) 

The Danceflur Kiriminalz are like this weird pseudo German? hip hop? techno? weirdo kids that wear hard hats and sweet shades.  There cannot be any possible way that these guys are serious.  This is like the weirdest/funniest thing I’ve ever seen on the weeb in a long time.  Yes ever in a long time.  Actually if these dudes are serious I think it would be even funnier.  These guys are musical geniuses.

Check out their music video at the Hyper Studio hahaha?  Listen to their awesome music.

When I was in university I convinced one of my professors to let me produce a short film instead of writing a 5000 word essay.  It turned out to be far more work then I anticipated at the time but well worth it.  I’ve never been a good writer so I figured showing people a film would be more powerful.

I went back and looked at the video the other day and I still think it’s pretty bizarre.  I hope this video freaks you out, not a spooky freakout but a more cerebral spazout.  It’s like an semi-apocalyptic view of technology, politics and the isolation of the "urban" lifestyle.

The video is like a mash up of clips that I shot, stuff I found on the weeb, some stuff from films I like, along with some "phat beats" yo.  The first section was shot on my lil mini dv video camera.  The technology bit aptly comes from clips that I downloaded from the weeb.  These clips are blown up to make them look even more pixelated and artificial.  After all that comes the Anamorph section which is a video created by these folks.  I thought it worked well in the context of the video.  I didn’t have anything to do with this video.  The next segment is a clip from the most awesome film Waking Life followed by a clip from Baraka.  Baraka also just happens to be one of my favorite films of all time.  It’s almost as good as Rad.

It seems I’m turning into somewhat of a bandwidth elitest.  This video is like 200 MB so again, don’t bother downloading it unless you have a fast weeb connection.  I know all the video bloggers out there hate it when you put up huge videos files.  I just need better compression and codec schteeze.  The video is 23 minutes long.

I suggest you right click and save target as and download it before you watch it.  If you just click the link it will look like its not working.  So, download then watch, if you feel the need.

Download the video here.

I almost forgot to add that the video was Untitled when I made it several years ago.  I like to call it Robots n Stuff now.

I apologize for the lack of posting.  For the TLM junkies its been a tough go trying to survive off my little moblog image posts.  Its weird people start bugging me when I dont post often enough.

I’ve been a little distracted by this idea I had the other day.  The idea could change the internet forever.  It’s revolutionary.  Problem is, if I told you I’d have to cap yo ass.  Ya dig?  If I decide to pursue this idea I’ll let you know about it in due time.

Now time for some more journaling:  I flew back east and spent some time with part of my family this past weekend.  It was a great weekend.  We ate, drank and we’re really big geeks.  My brother brought that Panasonic dvx100 24 progressive scan video camera.  My dad brought his ipod photo and my sister gave us all dvds (pronounced duveduh like zoolander).  So we we’re geeking out bigtime.

I spent about an hour putting together my latest video blog.  You can download it here.  I kept the file fairly high quality for the weeb so you can see the 24pness of it.  Of course that means the file is 80 MB so don’t bother trying to download it if you aren’t on a fat pipe of sorts. 

My bro created his first video blog today entitled Sunday Country.  Its very spooky.

It’s cool to make stuff just for fun.

Check it out.

The weeb never ceases to amaze me.  I’ve been posting on this blog for quite some time.  Recently I’ve been adding video blog posts as well*.  Some of the folks over at Zed saw a couple of my video blogs, mashed them up and put them on national television here in Canada.  Its pretty cool that some video from this here bloggy had 30 seconds of airtime on TV.

This is how it went down: random ideas edited into video blogs, files sent over the internets onto cbc servers, content editors enjoy them, content editors email me for ok, I ok, videos get mashed-up and remixed, video put on national television.  Who cares if it was at some weird time slot and hardly anybody actually saw it?  At least I can say I saw my face on the CBC!  I love the CBC!

Watch the clip.  Check out my Zed page.  You gotta love the CBC.

* My video blogs aren’t online right now.  I’ve taken them down to re-work them and find a new spot for em.

Cool mini documentaries on weird graphic artists.

More on that Citroen C4 Transformer Commercial.
