I’m trying to get back into the habit of taking photos. I might be getting a new SLR, which would revitalize the whole game. This week was NYC! I performed with Lucent Dossier, met some fun people, and just got a great workout walking around.
Hey, the new Channel 101 shows are live! Check out Car-Jumper #8. Also, if you haven’t seen it, check out Tom Kauffman’s cancelled show Strands.
This episode was a fun in-joke experiment, and I’m glad we didn’t suffer from it. I want to keep playing around and trying fun things with Car-Jumper forever. See you at the end of May.
I know my voice is dubbed, so I don’t know if it counts…but working with Mike Rose was awesome! Very talented dude! And I’m also very proud of Tom K for making the jump! This was a fun one.

Oblivion
Whatever, Tom Cruse is good in everything! Just want to point out that Joseph Kosinski is now officially on a roll. This movie was wonderful. I mean if you’re gonna make a popcorn flick…make a POPcorn flick! Throw in everything you liked from Wall-e, I AM LEGEND, if I’m not mistaken…a bit of Independence Day, and you get a whooping good time!!!
Say what you will about Tron’s story being cliche…It’s still beautiful and never slows down. Oblivion was the same. Every scene I was engaged and wanting to know more about this world. And ‘drone 166’ what a jerk right?! Big thumbs up.
Car-Jumper Ep 7 - Behind the Scenes Go Pro Shot
So when we did the one-shot episode of Car-Jumper, BK clipped a Go Pro onto his Glidecam rig and pointed it back at himself, I think to prove that we did it all in one shot. It turned out pretty neat, so I did a little split-screen with the episode. You can see fun stuff, like Alex trying to flag off the screen for BK or me bumping into BK, screwing up the shot. Neat!
First off, if you haven’t seen that episode, it’s right here.
We only got four chances to do this shot before the military police came and kindly told us to get off their abandoned base. I’m proud of the episode, but there are so many little spots and fuckups (clearly represented in the BTS video by me visibly cringing) that I could have absolutely hammered down if we just had another chance to do it. That backwards walk on the curved, broken up path to the first house was hard. I’ve been flying support systems like this for over six years now, and I’m still a complete newbie.
Two weeks after this episode came out, the MōVI was announced. The moment I get my hands on one of those, I want to try this again.
Possibly my favorite thing ever! Great work you guys!

Flip your life
This spoke to me this morning. I’m not anti-cars, but cycling can do so much for us if we’d embrace it more. Those posters that were going around the last few years about cars making us fat and cycling burning it is so true. I biked less regularly over the last year and I gained 30 pounds! That’s coming off in the next months!! RIDE! It’s a lifestyle/attitude, not just something to do. I don’t do it get in shape. I do it for the shear joy of it and the getting in shape is just a byproduct, a result.
I agree. Cycling has brought so much joy to my day to day. Ride on!
I was biking downtown and ran into this! Apparently it just showed up over night and will be bouncing around California for the next ten days. Not something you see every day. Check out the Red Ball Project for more information!
