VLOG 03/31/12 This is a social anthropological look at cartoons from the past. For some reason this is the most popular youtube video on my channel. I believe it struck a chord with many nerds from my generation. However, I also put some nerds in an uproar, because technically, a few of the cartoons that I featured in this video were not ever played on a Saturday morning; they actually played on a weekday morning. But I really intended this video to be an observation on cartoons from a certain era, and their common motifs, regardless of which day of the week they aired. Nerds, please forgive me. |
VLOG 02/29/12 Valentine's Day is a made up holiday for lovers, and in my half-assed attempt at celebrating the holiday, I will post this video... two weeks after Valentine's Day. This is a movie I made back in 2008, while finishing up my degree at Humboldt State University. I screened it at a few film festivals, and I generally got a pretty good response from it. Some people got offended. Some people walked out. Some people laughed. Overall, I would call it a success. This one's for all the maniacs in love. I'm happy for you. |
VLOG 12/27/11 I DJ and VJ, occasionally at the same time. Recently I came across the term DVJ for someone that does this. I've been working on my live visuals set for a couple years, and I've created enough video loops that I'm sure I could put on a good show now. Last night I recorded this little live visuals video to my remix of Nancy Sinatra's Bang Bang. All video effects you see here are performed live; there is no post production. If you would like to hear and see more of my audio/visual mixing (or DVJing) visit WryeMix.com and stay tuned. |
VLOG 11/05/11 My friend DJ/MC/Artist Stir Fry Willie wanted to make a Reggie Watts inspired beatbox video, and asked me help him make it happen. So a couple weeks ago I went over to his garage and made some beatbox magic with him. What you see here is the first of 3 shot that day. Also check out: |
VLOG 010/22/11 One day as I was frolicking, I came across a fuzzy caterpillar. He was a friendly chap, even let me do a video shoot of him. What you see here are the results. Let this video be an example of how hard it is to keep handheld focus on a moving creature that's only a few centimeters big. |
VLOG 09/03/11 Black Rock City is probably the strangest place on Earth, and it only exists for one week a year. Unfortunately I did not go to Burning Man this year. So instead, in honor of BRC, I'll post up this video I shot last year of the Man burning. Because everyone loves explosions. |
VLOG 08/31/11 Yesterday my friend Stephen Godwin called me up. We chatted for a bit through my horrible phone reception, it was nice. From that conversation I was reminded about this video we made for one of his classes in college. It's a little poem he wrote, about baby walruses, with dedication to Greag Brown. Cheers. |
VLOG 07/28/11 A few months ago my friend Megbeam Workman put together a shadow jam for Arts Alive in Eureka. She asked me to capture and document some of it. I agreed, and edited together this little video from the footage. Good fun was had. |
VLOG 06/26/11 Although the Rob Swift show in Arcata was cancled, you can still enjoy this unofficial music video I made for one of his songs off the album Sound Event. This is one of the first videos I ever made, back in 2003. I worked on it off and on for about year, with a one-man crew in my bedroom. I didn't know much about editing video when I started this project, but by the end of it I felt like I knew Final Cut Pro inside and out. Shot on glorious analog Hi8 video, it's probably the first video I actually felt proud of. It's a little hard to watch today, but it's interesting to look back and see an early project. Here's to nostalgia. |
VLOG 06/07/11 For the past few years my Dad and I have been taking trips to Oregon to check out some waterfalls. This is some video I shot at Susan Creek Falls in May of 2010. When I shot this video, I had just bought my Canon T2i, and I was anxious to try it out with one of my Dad's macro lenses. I've been told many times photography runs in the family. Enjoy. |
