TOOOOOOOOO BUSY TO POST A BLOG POST TODAY! lWHWET)IJET Ironic that random selection of articles of type spelled "JET" at the end. I'm going to Scotland tomorrow! So much to do, so little time! Don't worry, I have a bunch to post, I may do it tomorrow or the next day....or soon.
And then after Scotland? PHAT post.
Craziness. I'm going to search "random video" and choose one. Ready? Go:
Pretty fun, huh. Color's a good time. I talked about this gear last week. The beauty of color, the complexity of color, the color of color. Color. Here's the link if you're interested:
Today's a good day. Started off by surprising my pal Mr. Scott Weir, a dude who has shared many memories (including the party-crash of the century: http://emliv.blogspot.com/2008/12/be-ready.html), on his birthday with probably 20 of his friends in the wonderful food place on campus we call the cafeteria. It was a good time. Straight up.
So for this reason, I do not have much time to write. So here's the deal, there's going to be some legit embeds.
Fun.
Moving on, some video's, yeah?
I released a new video this week. A short film if you will. I personally enjoy this one very much, it's very different than many of my videos as of late. This is a dramatic interpretation of Shel Silverstein's "It's Dark In Here." Enjoy.
Oh, and make sure you have your volume up, the audio is incredibly important.
It doesn't get funny until you think about whats going on. Then it's hilarious. If you don't get it, watch it again.
Oh!, Mawwiage Films has pushed a new circle, we took our first legitimate photograph as a collective:
Similarly, Mawwiage Films released a video this week: 3 weeks ago, Mawwiage Films had the privilege of sharing the 18th birthday/DEBUT of Ms. Katrina Maddela. It was a blast, a real treat. So here, for your enjoyment, is the Mawwiage Films Moment. Also, if you're interested, get the full gist of the event by heading to:
First, I had the pleasure of playing percussion with Mr. Jayme Lewis, a short stint a few years back. I rediscovered this video earlier this week, and Mr. Jayme Lewis' rendition of the class America the Beautiful is just that, beautiful. The last section sends chills up, down, up, and back down my spine, the tuning peg move is INCREDIBLE. Enjoy.
Next? A rather inspiring video about...I'll just let them tell you:
"This film is based on a true story. In 1986 a football team that lived on a little island in the south of Thailand called "Koh Panyee". It's a floating village in the middle of the sea that has not an inch of soil. The kids here loved to watch football but had nowhere to play or practice. But they didn't let that stop them. They challenged the norm and have become a great inspiration for new generations on the island."
Enjoy.
Next? Ever play domino's? Here's some dominoes:
Enjoy.
And that's the post ladies and gentleman. I hope you have a splendid day, maybe put some of that artificial sweetener Splenda in your drink (that is artificial sweetener, right?) on this splendid day. Splenda is splendid.
Color is a bizarre, complicated, yet incredibly simple element. Take notice of my clothing. Do the colors match? No. They don't. When I was standing in front of the mirror, a look of disgust took place upon my face; just in case, I wasn't in a place to change. Normally I would change, but I thought to myself "Man, color is such a bizarre, complicated, yet incredibly simple element, that I think I'll rock these whack colors today and write about it on my blog." As you can tell, this is precisely what happened. Seriously though, color is pretty crazy. Why do some colors work together and others don't? Whats the deal with complimentary, analogous, triadic, color schemes. Don't know the answer, can't help you out. What do I know? I know that color is an art and some people just don't have it, same reason some people can't clap on beat to save their lives, drives me bonkers, but it's life, and I'm blessed to have rhythm...and color recognition. If you can't clap on beat, sorry. If you can't tell red from black (yes, I'm talking to you Connor), sorry. But here's the deal: you're probably using the skills that I have used up clapping and looking at colors in other better, cooler, radder, sweeter places than I could imagine. You're talented.
That was a somewhat random spiel, how nice.
I've got some artistic matter for you today. I am in a typography class at Biola labeled "Letters & Symbols." Kind of hard to explain what exactly we learn, but it's an incredible class that is stretching my mind through great lengths. We had a project due yesterday: we had to choose 3 words and then construct them out of virtually anything and everything. There were rules, rules irrelevant to this blog, but I followed the rules and below are some fun examples of the outcome. Enjoy.
Exhibit 1: Blue Painter's tape. FUN FACT: In real life, this stretches over 6 feet in length.
Exhibit 2: Hot Sauce on a refrigerator door. FUN FACT: In real life, this is still sitting outside my room. It smells like hot sauce exploded on a refrigerator door.
Exhibit 3: Socks. FUN FACT: In real life, those are real socks, look closely, you can tell.
Exhibit 4: Shoelace(s). FUN FACT: In real life, the shoelace had to be eliminated from the shoe in order to spell elimination. How symbolic.
And there you have it, some words.
Moving forward
This week is crazy, last week was crazy, so much stuff happens in a week, it is rather remarkable. As of last week, Justin Bieber was pretty much a Biola student, that has changed quite a bit, but hey, I'm still a belieber. Even the Mawwiage Films banner was updated, last week was weak sauce, we'ek needed to upgrade:
Mawwiage Films | Wedding Videography
Speaking of things that happen in a week. There are two specific videos that were born and then took over the face of the planet this last week. One is the girl from UCLA who rants about Asians in the library, expressing her disgust towards their behavior in the library and elsewhere. I'm not going to post that trash on my blog, no offense. She has received mauling by the multitudes, I wish her good luck in the conquering the rest of her life. It's a bummer this had to happen.
All in good form, the other video is by brilliant lyricist Rebecca Black. Arguably the goodest lyrics of the year, Black's "Friday" inspires millions with lyrics such as
"Tomorrow is Saturday
And Sunday comes afterwards"
and
"We-we-we so excited"
Here's the vid.
Wonderful.
So that's the plan, that's the jam, it's the end of the post, worth as much as spam.
Have a wonderful day people of the internet. Enjoy yourself on this fine day.
Good morning sunny California. The sun's out and we're loving it. Mr. Michael Warnecke said I worked at the surf shack. I can take that.
Hey, so this week has been intense, super intense. So intense, I'm not really going to get into it. But here's the moral of the story: life is intense, it's going to be intense, might as well buckle up and enjoy the ride! Sometimes there's bumps, you might get a bruise or two, but that's not going to stop this ride from flying around the next corner. I guess you could call that a word of encouragement, maybe a few words of encouragement; it actually encouraged me, in fact.
So, I've got some exciting news: Mawwiage Films has officially entered the Crexendo website competition hosted by Biola. They are looking at a whole lot of different factors, but, as a shameless plug, if you wouldn't mind spreading this guy around, that'd be awesome, especially to people who are looking at getting married.
So, the topic of Biola University the last few days to few weeks has been Mr. Justin Bieber. A phatty rumor was started: Mr. Justin Bieber has applied to Biola University for the Fall 2011 semester. All of a sudden, Mr. Justin Bieber was the talk to the campus; was it true, was it false, was it cool, was it incredible? People tweeted, people facebooked, in one particular instance, a fake facebook profile was created for the singer in order for Biola people to become "friends" with the legend. As I watched the internet meme form, I really wondered what could come of this. If Mr. Justin Bieber actually did come to Biola, how would people react? I would hope that people would treat him like a normal person, not flip out when they walk past him in the caf, say "What Up Justin" in passing. This is what I would hope. However, what I watched form on the internet was a ridiculous fanfare of posts, a surefire way to hestitate Mr. Bieber. It got to the point where Mr. Bieber was said to be replacing the Eagle as the Biola mascot. Now, if you were Mr. Justin Bieber and you saw someone post that about you and your potential future school, would you really deep down want to go there? I can't say I would. Maybe Mr. Bieber is different. Either way, people around Biola bascially flipped and went NUTTY over this rumor. It was the talk, it was the life. I got asked 3,231 times by people who knew I worked in Admissions if I knew the real answer. I told them I did, but I wasn't going to tell them the real answer, got to keep the rumor a rumor. Earlier this week, the Chimes, the Biola newspaper, broke the story, Mr. Justin Bieber was in fact NOT coming to Biola, at least for next semester. People reacted, but the rumor did not fizzle. The next day, Mr. Andre Stephens, the head of Biola Admissions (my boss in a sense), received this:
Think what you want.
Biola caught Bieber Fever. Mr. Justin Bieber, we would love to have you study here, just be warned, you're going to have an audience. I have a theory though, once you step on to campus, everything will change. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I've got a video for you, it's a good time, a little drumming, took me straight back to winter drumline. Sometimes I miss it.
That's the post. Got a little Bieber, got a little drumming, can't go wrong. Fun stuff 101.
Have a great week, drink a strawberry-banana smoothie.
Just a warning, this post has the potential to be one of the least exciting posts of all time. That's just coming from the "right now." That may be different 3 sentences from now, who knows. Just right now, I don't have much planned, so we'll see where it goes. Just a disclaimer, just a warning.
This weeks' been good. Busy busy busy. Saturday? Mawwiage Films (http://mawwiagefilms.com) went to Aneheim to capture the debut of Ms. Katrina Maddela. If you don't know, a debut is defined as the presentation of a debutante in society. Similarly, if you don't know, a debutante is a young woman making her debut into society. And there you have it. Want a tease? Enjoy:
Moving on, hey, so I am in a couple art classes, two design classes, Integrated Design 1 and Letters & Symbols, that are blowing my mind clear out of the water. I've never had instruction like this, so it's been quite the trip. It's been a ton of work, so I figured I show the internet world a small sample of this ton of work. It's kind of hard to explain what these assignments are, but I'll try.
The first set is pretty self explanatory, we had to take certain words and effectively communicate them solely through the use of a typeface.
The second set is real hard to explain. This is Part 4 of a 5 part series, in which we build upon what we ended with in the last exercise. This part was focusing on color and relationships different values and saturations have with each other. Good stuff.
This third set: we had to use typefaces and their characters to create compelling compositions within a square frame. Do these look like letters to you? Doesn't really matter, cause they are.
So that's it, folks. I know, kind of skimpy. At least you probably had a good time scrolling. I'll talk to you soon, perhaps when I have more time. Time, I could just go on and on about time.
