Homage to old Atari games looks convincingly like real game video but then it gets interesting... Plus, AWESOME MUSIC. Love the 8-bit!
This was the scene at the Apple Store at the Millenia Mall in Orlando. It wasn't too crazy but people had camped out since the mall first opened. Many were blogging it and IM'ing while in line. The funny thing is there were many that stopped when the crowd was largest just before the opening and asked what celebrity was inside. They were a little disappointed that it was a gadget.
RossTanner was little creation I wrote for a Midway production. We had a "stolen" show them built off of a parody of Whose Line Is It Anyway? I grew up watching those Bob Ross shows and got the ironic humor then. I love the myths about him also with the sniper stories and other junk. The basic idea was to take Sharon Tanner, our principal, and her big personality and paste her in all of these show rip-offs. The portraitures crack also came from a conversation where we couldn't figure out what to call a portrait. Duh. We used a little lovely hyperbole with the broom and the final painting done by Jolee, the art teacher. The final print is actually pretty closer to Sharon's own personal taste though. No humor needed there. Th best part in my opinion is the b-roll footage of the hand close ups. I was in a last minute late night editing session the day before show time and felt that it needed a little more. I figured that it would be funny for the cut away to the hand be to a man hand. Indicative of super low production you see in cable access, which PBS was just a step above for the longest.
Inspired by the worst part of the daily, 9 to 5 grind, getting there. Getting up, dressed and through the crazy traffic can sometimes be worse than a full day of work. This is a fun look at that daily ritual for the work week.
We walked into a Gay Pride parade in Philadelphia in Oct 2005. This little dance party was stuck in the middle of an intersection and broke the myth of the gay man and his inherent dancing abilites
