Phantom Water Edit
Here’s some footage captured with the Phantom HD Gold by Chris Bryan. This turns out to be really calming with the crazy 1000 FPS and syncopated music. Check out Chris’ webpage: www.chrisbryanfilms.com

SKATEISTAN: To Live & Skate Kabul
Skateistan: To Live And Skate Kabul is a beautifully shot film that
follows the lives of a group of young skateboarders in Afghanistan. Operating against the backdrop of war and bleak prospects, the Skateistan charity project is the world’s first co-educational skateboarding school, where a team of international volunteers work with girls and boys between the ages of 5 and 17, an age group largely untouched by other aid programmes.

Jerry Peterson – Broadcast Pioneer
This is a video presentation for Jerry Peterson’s acceptance in the the SC Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame. Jerry has worked in radio and television for almost 60 years and was a pioneer in the industry; being the first meteorologist to broadcast in chroma-key (weather wall green screen used widely today). He has been a television meteorologist at WBBN & WGN in Chicago, WTVT in Tampa, and WSOC in Charlotte. You can still hear Jerry doing weather on WHRI in South Carolina.
"US" – A Jerry Moore Film
ASU won three consecutive Division 1-AA National Championships in 2005, 2006, & 2007. This program exemplifies what we love about collegiate athletics in the South. The film goes behind the scene of the Mountaineers 2008 season.

Snob Scrilla – Heartbreak Scorsese
Dope video here. Haven’t heard about this guy before. The video is shot with mostly Nikon D90. Which most of you know is a still camera that shoots video. The results are really amazing. The slow-mo with the TVs and sledges are shot with RED if you were wondering. Tiffany’s new favorite artist…SNOB SCRILLA!
H1N1 – The Official Update
H1 and I give a shout out to the concerned…

Uminutes – Jaguars First Ballgame
We went to the inaugural University of South Alabama football game. There were 27,000+ fans in attendence and the atmosphere was awesome. This is the Uminutes segment from that game. You can check out more of Tiffany’s stuff at her webpage www.utv44.com/content/uMinutes/default.aspx or her youtube channel at youtube.com/user/tiffany200419. Jags won 30-13! Way to go guys.
Suddenly – Magnus Engsfors
A really neat effect using 3D layering in After Effects. It uses all still photographs that are broken apart into pieces and layers and animated over one another. Pretty cool stuff for a program that is not specifically a 3D program, but has options to “simulate” 3d.
Runimation – Demo Reel
Here is a demo reel of this group out of Austria. It is shot with a mix of HVX, EX1, and HPX. I think all of the mountain range shots are EX1, but that is just a guess. There are some of the best heli shots I have ever seen. The pin turn towards the end is beautifully constructed. My favorite parts though, are the sequence at 1:00 and the snowboard tear at 1:34. Anyway, check it out in HD. You have to go to Vimeo, but it’s well worth it. Lemme know what you think.
Also, check out a new website they were involved in: www.supercarmovies.com Scroll down until you see the “Episode 12: The Enzo.” It is crazy how hard the driver pushes a $500,000 Ferrari. A really neat perspective from the cockpit.
Bathtub III – Keith Loutit
A friend of mine (Sibbles) brought this to my attention…this is really cool. It forces you to pull a stupid-face. You can’t help but to smile. Keith Loutit was shooting for a project he was working on in Sydney, Austrailia. He kindly put out a couple of clips of his work for us to check out. The style is achieved with a “tilt-shift” lens that (as Kevin explained) is used on vertical shots like tall buildings, bridges, etc. Keith has found a style of his own with this technique. I assume that the images are over-saturated to give it that “plastic” look. It seems to be still images in sequence, but I can’t tell at what frame rate.
Click on the “HD” button, it will take you to Keith’s Vimeo page and you can view it in high def. Leave him a comment. Good stuff here.
Radiohead – ‘From the Basement’ [FULL]
Radiohead perform ”Weird Fishes/Arpeggi” live for their VH1 special. The high quality video is really sharp and is very well done. I first saw the “basement” on Conan O’Brien. Fact: The first band to ever play on Late Night with Conan O’brien? Radiohead. They went live again back in April of ’08.
This time they went green and played from this venue. The reason? Thom Yorke told Conan that if he flew the band over from London, it would be the equivalent of driving a car for a whole year. In the spirit of going green, the band played live on Late Night via satellite. It was a really great performance. I will try to grab the video next time so you can check it. Meantime, enjoy.
The Order of Myths (Trailer) – Margaret Brown
“The first Mardi Gras in America was celebrated in Mobile, Alabama in 1703. In 2007, it is still racially segregated. Filmaker Margaret Brown (“Be Here to Love Me: A Film About Townes Van Zandt”), herself a daughter of Mobile, escorts us into the parrallet hearts of the city’s two carnivals. With unprecedented access, she traces the exotic world of secret mystic societies and centuries-old traditions and pageantry; diamond-encrusted crowns, voluminous, hand-sewn gowns, surreal masks and enormous paper mache floats. Against this opulent backdrop, she uncovers a tangled web of historcal violence and power dynamics, elusive forces that keep this hallowed tradition organized along enduring color lines.” – theorderofmyths.com
Wynton Marsalis Quartet – "Caravan"
A short explanation of jazz dialogue intros Miles Davis’s “Caravan.” This is young and raw Wynton Marsalis. It is probably around the time that he was most influential inside and out of jazz. He made a couple false historical references in interviews and got buried for it. Nevertheless, this cat can play. I got a chance to meet him and his father (Ellis) when I studied music in college. His father is wonderfully talented and equally nice. Several months after meeting Ellis, I went to see a concert of his at ”Snug Harbor” (a awesome jazz venue in New Orleans). He remembered me and the time we met and was truly gracious towards me during our short time together. Enjoy “Caravan” – Wynton Marsalis Quartet.
Wynton Marsalis – Big Butter & Egg Man
Now she wants…a butter an egg man
From way out in the West
She wants somebody…who’s workin’ all day
So she’s got money…when she wants to play
Now pretty clothes…they’ll never be mine
But what she told me the other day
I hope she don’t change her mind
Now she wants…a butter an egg man
A great big butter and egg man
From way down South
