  Three Dimensional
  2010, Lost and Found on My Hard Drive, Video (0)

  Until I did my bi-yearly hard drive purge, I'd forgotten that in 2006, I was obsessed with learning 3D animation. "Learning" is the wrong word. I didn't intend to "learn" 3D animation in any systematic way, I just happened to download a bunch of 30 day trials and decided that this would be what I was into for the next 30 days. As you might assume, looking at how things have turned out by the beginning of of 2010, I never quite got beyond the "30 day trial" skill level using any of these programs. There was too much patience involved. In ...

  Hypothesis? Adventure
  2009, Other Peoples Work, Video (0)

  More than a year ago now I helped Ryan Moulton produce a short film series called Hawaii Girl. Today, I learned that all but one are finished. It's kind of bittersweet. When I watch them, I remember getting Starbucks coffee for 9 people in the library with Nora; April chasing Jennifer around with the hammer; taking a square foot of sod up to the third floor of the Reitz Union; and pitching jokes to Ryan at the Orange and Brew and deciding what episodes we had time to shoot before the year was over and I graduated. Seeing it reminds me of old ...

  Tybalt Be Trippen
  2009, Other Peoples Work, Video (1)

  by Shaun Spalding An adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, written by a 14-year-old. Directed by a 22-year-old. Starring a genius. This was a fun way to spend an afternoon or two. I even have a speaking part around minute 11.

  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...
