10 In 20 - Willy Eames
Ten years ago or more, in what feels like another life time, me and my friend Erin Acevedo used to go to High On Rose, a local bar/restaurant/music venue before it was a law office or whatever unfortunate thing it is now, and listen to one of two bands: Catawampus Universe or Club Dub. Both of these bands featured local guitarist, Will Eames. In my hazy, highly unreliable memory I feel like...

What does Google think about you
Everybody knows that Google collects info from your Google searches (uh oh!) to tailor ads to you. Well, you can go here and see exactly what demographic they think you fit into. Below is a screenshot of how they categorize me. It was all pretty spot on if not a little broad - except for the body building and football bits. Also, it didn’t mention me being super sexy. Apparently...

The Bread Box — a new type of development for... →
I’m in love with this idea - The old Rainbo Bread factory has been converted into a space that houses local community minded organizations and businesses. One such business is Cricket Press, a local couple that creates independent comics and concert posters. Another is the West Sixth Brewing Company - a local craft brewery. Comics and beer. In one building. Why don’t I live there?

2011 Reel
So this is a short reel I put together from my professional work over the past year. The only clip I wasn’t paid for was from a Sunday Valley concert, but they asked to use it on their Youtube page and I liked the clip, so I included it as well.
Everything was shot with a Canon T2i and created with Photoshop and After Effects and Edited in Premiere Pro.
Most people put together...

You Are What You Eat - 2011
Earlier in the year I posted a quote from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, “We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.” Makes sense. Here’s what shaped and fashioned me this year:
Early in the year I discovered Film Riot - an internet video podcast starring Ryan Connely and his crew of misfit filmmakers. Every week they dissect film making techniques - often by tackling requests...

10 in 20 - Fanged Robot
Newest video/single from the Lexington 10 in 20 project. This one is from Fanged Robot AKA Robby Cosenza. Robby is a Lexington staple and can be seen on stage all around town playing multiple instruments for multiple acts. He’s also the drummer for the phenomenally talented These United States. Here’s his song Let The Countdown Count Me. Give it a listen, it’s great.

Death The Halls
Here’s a video we showed at Crossroads’ Christmas Eve services this year.
I am given a lot of leeway, obviously.
I had a lot of help with this one. Besides being a great lead, Caleb Mathis also, stepped in as photographer, grip, and tree puppeteer. My co-worker Jason Koerner did principal photography and another co-worker, Kerry Tuttle was our grip for the outside sequences. ...

Taking the time to try and do it right
I’ve had my Canon DSLR for almost a year now and I’m embarrassed to say how little I still know about how to use it properly.
So much of what I do is run and gun stuff; interviews, B roll, etc. The kind of stuff that doesn’t always lend itself to sitting down and really creating a look in-camera. That’s how I’m rationalizing how bad some of my stuff has looked...

Flex Mentallo
Thanks to the digital age, there are very few comic books out there that I want to read but don’t’ have access to.
One book that does fall into that category, however, is Flex Mentallo.
Flex Mentallo was a four issue mini-series that spun-off of Grant Morrison’s run on DC’s DOOM PATROL comic. It featured the adventures of a character based on Charles Atlas. Though...

10 In 20: Matt Duncan
Last month I posted the new song from Coralee and The Townies from the 10 In 20 project. Here’s this month’s from Matt Duncan. I got to see Duncan play live at CD Central a few months back. He and his band are great. Check ‘em out:
Never doubt Lexington makes great musicians!

Community > Parks and Rec > All Other Sitcoms
I love Parks and Rec, but for all its charm, it doesn’t have gags that are three seasons in the making. Each of these clips is from a different season of Community:
I’m sorry, but this can’t go away. What is wrong with you television-viewing public?

An Unwashed Nook By Any Other Name...
Sara has been shopping for a new perfume lately, and true to form, she’s going about it in the completely adorable and totally immersive way she does most things. For a couple of weeks now she’s been sitting on the couch at nights, ordering perfume samples online and reading blogs dedicated to reviewing perfumes. Specifically she’s been spending a lot of time reading...

Occupy Wall Street
I’ve held off writing anything about Occupy Wall Street for a lot of reasons, but I’m finally breaking down (One of my reasons for holding off is that I’m not entirely convinced I’m as informed on the movement as I could be, and I don’t want to speak out of ignorance - but that’s rarely stopped me before, so here we go…)
As near as I’ve been able...
