switching it up

sometimes spending time with happy positive optimistic girls can be fun.  it's a much lighter time when there isn't a bunch of baggage dragging around.  roof tops are also fun

braveheart type shit

After spending a ton of time trying to swim across a quagmire it is incredibly freeing to stop caring about that source of wetness.  there's got to be a better way to word that

now I see why people like cats

i love this movie

check this shit out.  you'll never think of this song the same way again.

a few awesome things

what was here got me in a type of "trouble".   Imagine if you could only see the green in a painting that actually has a lot more to it than green stripes; you'd be looking at a picture, just not the full picture.

What was here caused some green to be seen

I did talk about how the World Cup was starting and how awesome the USA is, but they ended up being a disappointment so I don't mind it not being up anymore.

have you ever seen what broken car window looks like?

So I've talked about the whole "in the movies no one ever steals a car with the empty gas tank light on" thing.  Here is another question along the same line.  When someone steals a car why do they always break the driver's side window?  Who wants to sit on broken glass while they are fleeing the scene?  Car windows break into big pieces and little pebble pieces, why would somebody want to sit on a bunch of pebbles that have sharp edges?

Here is the situation; bad thing chasing you in big concrete parking ramp, you see a suitable car for your escape, you break the driver side window and hotwire that shit, go down the spiral exit slide, big car the bad things picked to chase you follows you down the slide, break through the striped stick gate, get on the highway and gun it, bad follows, chase starts and you realize the gas light is on, they start gaining on you, your stolen vehicle runs out of gas, you have to pull over and get out of your car and start running, whatever is chasing you simply runs you over, evil wins.  I doubt this situation will ever get filmed

fun time

Last night was awesome, the lights I made worked perfectly and looked cool as hell; the projections by Lindsey Borgerson were cool as hell; Solid Gold sounded cool as hell.  It was a great production. The work is fun, the plexi-glass shredded hands suck, loading in sucks, doing my shit and doing it well is fun.   I did a whole new light rig for the Solid Gold show at First Ave. last night; and it was awesome.  I got to see some video of it off the cell phone of a drunk girl; I'm proud of how it all turned out.  The guys go bigger, I have to go bigger to catch up. Last night there was no catch up being played by me last night.  I was on point and it turned into a great show.  

I have distinct memories of some bands having amazing lights/projections; Nine Inch Nails, Massive Attack, Tool, The Dandy Warhols, Daft Punk.   Specific shows by those bands or specific moments in the visuals really stuck in my mind and inspired me to get into doing the shit I do.  Now that I'm getting pretty good and using more complex set-ups people seem to really like it.  Beyond making shit look good, I always hope that at some point in that show something I was part of will stick in someone's mind.

I love doing the lighting design thing and people are really digging it.  fun

think what you want, but this is pretty good

this is a good performance

I want to run her app

one of the coolest things ever

Someone at an advertising firm just earned their check

He did this for Absolut vodka. I have fallen right into the trap that this film was intended to be.  It's a pretty brilliant advertising strategy; Make yourself look cooler by associating yourself with a director who has credibility outside of your usual demographic in order to make yourself look cool to a new market, don't really insert your product into the actual film so people in that new group don't get all bitchy about product placement, work your product name into the title in a way that it can't be chopped in reviews or promotions (any time the film is talked about your product name and distinct spelling will always be included, give director creative freedom, release it in a viral manner so the newly targeted demographic can spread it and watch it for free (look at me, I fell for it), give the director creative freedom so it also becomes a promotional video for a relatively unknown artist (they made the paper folded costumes I just can't remember their name), call it a short film instead of long commercial to build extra credibility in the creative world.  Finally and most importantly it really is cool to watch.  Nobody

SG 1ST AVE 6 4 10

Doing something new for the Solid Gold show at First Ave on friday June 4th.   When they rock it, I've got to rock it too.  I'm going to rock-et that night.  Lindsey Borgerson on projections, Bryant Locher on lights, Solid Gold on sound; a fun trio always down for teaming up and making some cool. Excitement over what got tried tonight.

I almost forgot to mention the new shirts that Matt Locher is currently printing.

We might make the staff work a bit more, and they might hate us (but they get paid to be there and there is no way in the world we are a difficult as they make us feel we are); our mission is to work hard and make it worth it for the people who paid to be there.

I love working on shit like this. You'll have to be there to see what I get done.
