This Too Shall Pass

I stumbled upon this video by OK GO. I really like it because in middle school I have been on a team that created one of these " Energy Transfer Contraptions". I was (and still am) a big science geek. An energy transfer contraption competition challenges students to use inventions to transfer from one energy source to another in order to reach a goal.

In the case of this video the goal is to spray the Band Members with Paint.

Notice how the energy can be as light as pouring water to as powerful as bowling balls and cars.

NEXT COP PS3

#LOWKEY I use to be a game freak, but now I'm more on sneakers and fashion type ish. Luckily I have friends that are game freaks! My dude D.hall and his lil bro are GAME FREAKS like none other. I'm talking about beating games within 7 hours and then beating it on all levels from easy to extra hard. In the past I have been telling myself to buy a system (my nephew has a 360 but I rarely play) during the super bowl I saw this ill ass commercial for "DANTE'S INFERNO"...... I HAVE TO GET THIS $HIT LIKE TODAY! Plus the song "ain't no sunshine" (its not going to be on the game) but the fact that it was played was ILL!!!!!!!!! ............check out the video

"Divinity"-Filming Begins-2010

I follow a few independent special effects artists on Youtube.

I'm excited because it feels like watching a new spin off of Heroes or Smallville because their effects skills are up to par with the tv shows.

I can't wait!

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?. . .

IPHONE I$H

As the iPhone continues to introduce apps both silly and indispensable, it should come as no surprise that there's now an app for starting your car remotely. Introduced by car alarm company Viper, the SmartStart app comes in two flavors: a $299 package if you already have a compatible Viper alarm system or a $499 deal for a stand alone unit that comes with everything you need to start operating your car with Apple's Jesus phone. In addition to remote start, the SmartStart app can also lock and unlock your car, open the trunk and sound your panic alarm.

It's Official...I have to get the 7d

Ok so Canon is about to release the new 7d and I must say just from looking at the beta footage this is going to be quite a contender in the market of video-capable DSLR's. Pictured below is what it looks likes straight out of the box.

Check out this footage below to get an idea of just what you can do with this camera...

"Perya" - a Canon 7D Short from Bob Nicolas on Vimeo.

Now with a few accessories you can set up a mild to extreme rig for the camera that will basically give you everything you need for all of indie film endeavors.

I found this picture below and it got me thinking; Could this be the future of independent cinema/media or even news maybe? hmm...only time will tell...

Whats in the Mail?

THANKS SOLEMATES

You wish You Knew

Nudie Accesories, This is the Ipod case, it's pretty cool and you know it's basic function.

Price: $45 [Click]

This is a Nudie Computer Sleeve. I could careless about designer denim, I'm not sure what my vice is with them but high priced jeans with slight construction differences dont appeal to me. BUT I do like to see connections across the board, for example this Nudie Jeans Computer Sleeve Bag. It's fully lined so your laptop is safe and dry. The price is pretty good too. check it out

Technology...Oh how I love thee

While scrolling through YankoDesign I found this dope cell phone concept from designer  Aleksandr Mukomelov . The phone features dual touch screens: one on the face of the slender phone itself and another of a pull out design made of plastic compound. Personally it looks pretty dope and I hope they come through with a design like this in the future, but knowing companies they are going to cut something off of it to add in "upgrade" version a year later LOL!

On the go

USB Microwave. I love technology

Honda Hovercraft

So it seems Honda has come up with a futuristic concept for a hovercraft car, people always said the future would be flying cars lol. Specs include four high powered turbine engines that can reach 350mph and the whole thing is guided by two joy sticks and GPS so no one runs into each other. It even has retractable wheels for those who still want to use the ground for traveling. Don't know if this will really go into testing or not but I hope so, it would be dope! via yankodesign

AE Typography

My next attempt at after effects will be something along the lines of this.

Should I attempt to do Bone thugs in harmony?

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...

Let the beat build...

Nyle "Let The Beat Build" from Nyle on Vimeo.

Rolling through Vimeo I found this video on the homepage, its of a new york based hip hop artist. Now the rhymes and everything are good, but what really stood out to me was the video quality. Comes to find out it was the emphasis RED ONE. pictured below.....The dopest part about the whole concept of the video though is that they recorded the song live at the same time as recording the video, and they did it ONE TAKE! man this camera is so dope too, bad i dont have $17k! YOWWZAS

Muti Facetted...

This watch from UNI is has customizable digital faces. You can choose fonts, colors, backgrounds and hand designs with just a few clicks in the included software. It's pretty dope, pretty soon technology is just going to be basic parts that are fully customizable so everything will incorporate personal style and taste. [SOURCE LINK]

Real and fake

I'm getting better every day in After Fx. Skip and I have been asked produce a project for [ Wouldn't you like to know]. That will be coming soon. 

Dont think you can catogorize the Monarchs. . .  we do all media. 

AEP skills

The Jordan's and loafers are a front. I'm really a tech geek at heart and I'm trying to return to my roots. I made this video a few hours ago.

A Love Affair | Twiggy & her Wii

The only thing I play on my Nintendo Wii is the Wii Fit....and that's not even playing. That's a workout! literally! But every now and then...boredom enters my life and I must change up the style. I pulled out my old games and came upon Mario Party 8. Oh how I love this game!

I play with Yoshi...and only Yoshi. Me and him have a bond....





...because me and Yoshi always win....and no...the comp players were not put on easy. I play them on NORMAL baby! haha

Victory...

Basking in my win.
