451 FAN FILM POSTERS

SHORT FILM UPDATE

I've been hard at working trying to complete my latest short film "451". The film is based on Fahrenheit 451, by author Ray Bradbury. It's been over a year of work, but it is finally nearing the end. As with all independently funded projects, there have been a lot of delays, and long stretches of worry of whether I would be able to finish the production. (451 was in production for a year before Ray Bradbury passed away.)

The release date of the short has been pushed back from August to mid-late September. Hopefully nothing else will delay the film!

New posters have been uploaded to the site. Feel free to check it out! http://451film.com

EYE HEART WARBY PARKER - Stop Motion (HD)

WARBYS
I've become a fan of Warby Parker since hearing about them on TechCrunch. So during a trip to New York City, I decided I would pick up a pair. The $95 frames (+ prescription lenses!), was a deal I couldn't refuse. Their frames are, specifically designed to target the consumer looking to stand out from the crowd. Bold frames, and styles and decent quality.
Warby Parker boasts affordable frames that go against the norm of overpriced brands. They also donate frames to those in need.
I was actually considering a pair of Moscots while in NYC, but Warby won me over.
Check em out at http://warbyparker.com. (I believe they started shipping to Canada recently.) While Warby Parker has a showroom at the New York office, all the purchases are done online, on their site. They will actually ship a Home Try-on of 5 frames, which is cool.
Enjoy the little animation I shot and edited. The goal of the spot was to match the clean look of the Warby Parker brand. The frames featured in the video are the Winston, with an old fashion fade. Maybe I'll pick up another frame in the future.

This is the last the series of "New York" videos that I've done since my trip.

PARTY! GDC 2012 Super7 Insert Coin PixelJunk 4am

PARTY! GDC 2012 Super7 Insert Coin PixelJunk 4am

Super7 has always been on my list of toy shops to hit up if ever I was in town, I just never had a chance to visit the shop until my recent trip to San Francisco. It seemed like the forces had aligned and I had an opportunity to check it out. Fresh off the plane, I was in a bit of a groggy state, going out into the night and in need of a party.

Super7 is a well known Kaiju figure shop with a side of Japanese Star Wars figures, and limited print graphic tees. I knew the place was cool, I just didn't know how awesome it was until I got there.

With the Game Developers Conference in town, they threw a party for the launch of their new line of gamer tees called 'Insert Coin', so I jumped at the chance to check it out. After a sardine packed BART ride from downtown, and a walk through a dark street towards Haight St., (fearing I would be stabbed), I found Super7. Then I realized, I could have just taken the bus! (Their previous location had been in Japantown, and is now located on Haight.)

The party was packed with art fans spilled on the side walk. Sony's PixelJunk 4am was being demoed at the event. Using the Sony Move controller, users can create and layer sounds and beats using the visualizer on screen. The experience has been described as similar to the music process of a DJ, transitioning through beats, with the ability for people to spectate.

The visualizer is like an instrument, with button inputs creating different sounds, when the controller is waved around, or whether buttons are held then released. I could definitely see the depth in program like this. Though I don't think was a way to save out the audio into a convenient format to create and share. (PixelJunk 4am was also set up on the Expo floor at GDC, Sony booth.)

The Insert Coin tee designs were all pretty creative, taking retro gaming and design and slapping it on a tee is a tall order, but these artists did a great job. Unfortunately, I didn't pick up any of the gamer tees, and instead opted for the In-N-Out secret menu tee by artist Josh Herbolsheimer. Fans of burgers should appreciate this.
