Great Wraps.

Flickring-45 by you.Flickring-47 by you.Flickring-69 by you.

Flicker, this Summer's first production, wrapped on-time yesterday after a week and a half of shooting. We've shot in two different houses, an abandoned Save-A-Lot with hospital zombies, and a concrete cemetery with over 70 dead bodies. We'll continue to trudge on with shooting Jackson and Joseph, and pull focus over 20 foot drops on a ladder, play on car rigs, and shoot some horses. With cameras as well as guns.

In the meantime check out some photos from Flickr over at theworstkids.

Flix.

Flickr-10 by you.Flickr-26 by you.Flickr-34 by you.

Summer productions began weeks ago and I tagged along on the shoot of Flicker. We shot inside an actual house. Our actor Ken Peebles' stare pierced through my lens and into my fragile little soul. I've never been more scared. I still don't know if he hates us all or just stays in character. Making him walk through a bunch of dead bodies in a hot concrete field didn't help either. More on that later... Check out day 1 and 2 photos at theworstkids.

Friday's Vimeo Video: Gunsmith Factory.


Another video from Ivan Despi, the maker of last week's Vimeo Video. This one is older but just as cool. It's really cool to see what these people do. The music is So Long, Lonesome by Explosions in the Sky.

Check it out here in HD.

Summer.


Summer began a few months ago and I have been busy as ever with sound design, setting up Kinoflows, accepting high paying jobs, not getting phone calls back and writing scripts. But one thing that hasn't changed is eating good food. And what better way to dine then to dine for free while your friends cook and clean the dishes for you in exchange for a place to stay. It seems every night we've had Pasta/Taco/Burger/FOOD nights somewhere. The video above started it all. More pictures at theworstkids.

Watch Your Manners.



In this age of pirating and The Death of High Fidelity, it seems that music is more or less doomed. But when acts like Passion Pit's Manners is leaked weeks before its May 19th release date, I couldn't help but snatch it. Every now and then I come across an album that I can truly sit through in its entirety. Manners gives me faith that artists can still thrive through this failed American capitalistic music industry. I thought it was disappointing at first after having their EP Chunk of Change win the game of King of the Hill on my iTunes Most Played list, but Passion Pit's debut album slowly gained five stars across the board. Hopefully I won't have to crown it Album of the Summer this early. What do you think?

Ropes.

Roper and I came back home to Manassas from LA and Richmond this week and caught up with some old friends at Osbourn Park. He rides for The Hundreds down in LA and has been making more of a presence for himself in the skateboarding community. I was shooting Fridays with Duy Nguyen at the time but managed to get some pictures together. The episode will premiere next Friday but in the meantime check out the photos over at theworsteyes. Also check out Billy's blog here.

Ok so I was a few hours late with this Friday's Vimeo Video. I was busy shooting Friday's with Duy Nguyen to post it up in time, but have no fear Slagsmålsklubben is here. This is not the official video, but it's probably cooler anyways. Check it out here in HD. Tell me what you think.
