Inglorious SAG Awards

Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture:

INGLORIOUS BASTARDS

____________________________________________________________________

When watching a film I can almost determine who will be nominated by the middle of the story.

Christoph Waltz was the scariest, and most calm person ever. If you have seen this film, you know his character was a crazy Mofo and we are lucky that Hitler was in charge instead of him. lol

Outstanding Performance by a Male:

Christoph Waltz

My other favorite mentions who were nominated but didn't beat out Precious:

Diane Kruger

Eli Roth

(Not Sylar, or New Spock)

Fly Girl

Lady Gaga is officially cool as fuck!

In my imaginary world (where I have all tattoos, and a mansion on Delmar)

She stops by the ABC office on tuesdays after 2pm

to kick it with the Monarchs.

I really love watching stuff like this. I want to get back to my special effects work soon. But I have to focus on one craft at a time. Right now its fashion.

Maybe some special effects videos for Waiting for the DJ in the spring?. . .

Maximus by Beni

I almost forgot about the world of film making, as well did MadeMonarchs.

I came across this music video that just made me stare at African kids dancing.

I love it.

F.Y.I. That is me singing at 2:44 (please listen to it lol)

Adi Dassler

For my sneaker heads, here's some history of the  Adidas for you. Best part about it is its made with clay. Dope!

Hamburger Eyes

This video is a documentary on the photographers who put together the Hamburger Eyes Magazine. The film was shot all on 16mm film and the photographers shoot with film as well giving the whole doc a retro/cinematic feel. It also features one of my favorite photographers Boogie, if you don't know who he is, google him....dope.

Street Lights- Fan Video

Kanye West-Street Lights(SPEC) Dir:Mills Miller from MillsMillerMedia on Vimeo.

Found this video while scrolling through Vimeo, its a fan video from Mills Miller Productions, of Kanye West's Street Lights songs. Being a fan of independent Film/Videos I had to post it, plus it was all shot on the HVX200 pictured below...

True Hip Hop Stories

Man Vimeo has to be the best place for underground/independent video and cinematography talent. While searching some vids I came across this mini series by a director named "D-Nice." Now its always great to see people of color excelling in what they do, but this is just flat out...DOPE! The sound. color, clarity, and creativity is just dope, not to mention the subject matter is take back for a lot of the older hip hop cats. I'll just just post a few of the series check out the rest on his page.

Stuff im feeling...

Okay so a week or so ago I made a post about low budget indie films and technology surrounding and it's capabilities. Well I would not completely consider Philip Bloom's work as "indie" because of some of his equipment, but hands down the man is a BEAST behind the camera. Oh yeah I also just copped out on a cam so MadeMonarchs.com will soon be live in HIGH DEFINTION, YEA!!! here's a link to Mr. Blooms vimeo for more of his videos http://vimeo.com/philipbloom
