Growing up as a kid I hated Dallas. I dunno why, I think my mom watched it. I oddly remember only watching one episode, the one where the some guy walks outta the shower although I think he was dead, it was a big deal. I dunno I can't remember and I don't care.
On the other hand LOVED Star Wars. I mean I still love Star Wars, but not like I used to. So when I see something cool that's Star Wars related I tend to watch.
What I really like about this, is that it's more creative editing. I've been teaching myself how to edit. I learned years ago, but I'm a little rusty when ever I see something like this it makes me intrigued, and it's a mashup and becomes newly created art. To take subject matter and change it up and create something new.
Enjoy!
Stars Wars as an opening for the TV Show Classic Dallas.
Contest Winning Short: The Big Blowout Directed by: Craig Ouellette
Director Craig Ouellette, gathered a bunch of friends one soggy evening in Pasadena at the Beginning of the year to shoot a short film for Filmaka.com. With only the tageline : The Party.
Craig came up with a rather interesting idea, and it won the jury prize. Now on to round 2. I make a quick appearance in this as well.
The Last Big Blowout from Craig Ouellette on Vimeo.
Awesome short, What's in the Box
If you got to youtube. The message is: temp film will be deleted soon. I love it! No one knows what it is. My guess is something to do with Half Life 3.
Final version is up:
Devil's Land : Teaser Trailer
Director: Val Tsatsos was telling me about a short film he's been working on called Devil's Land. Now his idea is some smart low budget film making, to shoot a short based around the locations you have access to and write a story around that. He found a super kickass location, came up with an idea. 6 Months later they shot a trailer.
It's all desolate and creepy, out in the dessert. Reminds me of post-apocalyptic end of the world type of stuff, I dig a fun trailer that tells me nothing about the story, lots of cool imagery and some damn good score. The footage looks great, and it's shot on the new wonder cam everyone like's to talk about the Red Camera.
Val Tsatsos talks all about this project and others on LA Talk Radio. It's a really good interview, he's a busy guy with a bunch of good ideas. It's a pretty good story to listen to the process how this was made and what's currently happening if you're interested in the so call film making process.

Dwarfed Punk
This was a cool video that I saw about a week ago posted on a couple of sites, and I've watched it about 8 times now. It's just such a creative use of editing. I'm blown away with how well it works too, and Daftpunk has that catchy style that sticks in your head.
On a creative level this video, was inspiring for me.
Check it out, it's pretty short. 2:30mins
25 Things I hate about Facebook: By Julian Smith
I've been on Facebook for awhile, now and I do like it. There is a meme that's going around 25 Things, I'm sure if you read this much you know what I'm talking about. Since it's been going around for awhile now and no longer a new thing. This is a really simple, but ellegant video done by a guy named Julian Smith.
Check it.
