  It’s pronounced Ha-Why?
  2008, Other Peoples Work, Video (1)

  Ryan Moulton is a super-genius. As such, I knew it be awesome to work with him on something, so I ended up "Producing" his idea for a live-action adaptation of his high school web comic. According to Ryan... Hawaii Girl is a series of videos that I shot around May. We shot five episodes. It's technically an adaptation of a web comic I did back in High School that may or may not still be online somewhere. HAWAII GIRL: Wake-up Time from Rymo on Vimeo Wake-up Time, the one posted here, was the last one we shot, took the least amount of time to ...

  Smash Your (German) Television
  2008, Photography, Announcement, Video (1)

  So I learned about a week ago that a video Kamphey and I did for SHARP Televisions called Smash Your Television got played on a German TV news spot about viral videos and new media. We gave the short version to SHARP right after we shot it and it was used as an internet promo, but the extended version we shot (with characters and a plot) has just been languishing on my hard drive waiting to be finished. I still haven't even shown the actors either version, because I've been spending the last year agonizing about finishing it and making ...

  Keep Your Hands Where I Can See Them
  2008, Video (4)

  Moustache Party (25.1mb) My [almost] successful attempt at making a "youtube-style" video that speaks to the proletariat as opposed to film students. I wanted the whole thing to be one take, but in the end, the close-ups help tie up the loose ends from editing the 3 different takes together, and they clarify things quite a bit. The idea came from a video Danny did for an Upstart Films contest. I decided to remake the video, (which was just the lip-syncing) and attempted to make it "better" using confetti, bubbles, and absurdism. It probably ended up about 70% how I imagined it in ...

  A Cinderella Story
  2008, Inuit Jargon, Video (2)

  Inuit Jargon had our final show a few weeks ago. Our carriage finally turned back into a pumpkin. Natalie Andres and Ryan Moulton helped capture the magic. Eric's intro to the show / We Do Awesome (38.6mb) Puddin' - Now that's what I call a one minute song (10.1mb) America Needs a Haircut (21.8mb) Dick Tiddy (30.6mb) All in all, I'm glad we all had fun at the last show. As far as technical stuff, I wish there'd been more fog and strobe lights, and I hadn't artificially set the gain up so high on my camera but whatev...

  The Yolk’s On Me
  2008, Video (2)

  (6.84mb) About three months ago, I got a video commission for (what I'm told is) the largest food-based social networking website in the world. What I Thought Would Happen? The idea I proposed was a pretty simple one. Two eggs fight over a frying pan. One defeats the other and gets scrambled. What I didn't know is how I would do it. Stop-motion got ruled out pretty quick (too time intensive), as did animation (too difficult to make it look good). I felt like I should do what I know, and I know puppets. Shaun knows puppets! This hippo couldn't get any ...

  Meet Osman Smith-Demisovski
  2008, Video (2)

  (7.81mb) Since there's not too much time left before the April 12th premiere of Oro Platiado at Cinerama, here's the third of several trailers to anticipate (as well as fill in the abundance of plot holes) in Oro Platiado. What? Mr. Smith-Demisovski is Rodrigo Magallenes's personal legal counsel and his main liaison to what goes on on the American side of his business operations. As backstory that I just came up with now, he added "Smith" to his traditional Albanian family name to gain an edge in being partnered by a private law firm. He's now a partner is at the firm Smith, ...

  Does it have to be a Cake? Can it be cup cakes instead?
  2008, Video (1)

  (8.14mb) About a month ago, Student Upstart Films got approached by another UF club, SIFE, to do a PSA for the MPAA to warn about the "dangers of downloading movies". Between Ryan Moulton, myself, Biana [last name omitted] and Natalie Andres, we came up with bunch of ideas were mostly questionable. Finally, we decided on this idea that involved a cake idea survived relatively in tact. After writing the original draft of the script, everyone had at it for about an hour and a half questioning everything from what the cake should be made out of, to how big the cake should ...
