A review of my 2010

This started out as a tweet and quickly swelled to above 300 words so I figured a blog post would be more appropriate.

The year started off with the biggest and most rewarding motion graphics project of my life. A kinetic text music video for Lazlo Supreme. The song originally was going to be beep beep but after much talking and discussion about visuals we decided on the song "Featherlighter." The video started on 1/1/2010 and work was completed by 1/31/2010. It was a crazy month filled with hard work and learning. Just for the record this music video was planned and completed 7 months before the F*** Y** video by the very talented Ceelo Green. (we still released before that video, but hey thought i would put that out there and end the discussions once and for all.)

After completion of "Featherlighter" Toussaint and I decided to try and make a music video with no premise and give ourselves the span of 2 hours to shoot it; coincidentally this was the time frame where the now infamous Kid Fresh stole all my passwords and leaked "Featherlighter" for 2 hours. That video of course was Civil War (one of my personal favorites, but least viewed of the group thus far)

As stated earlier "Kid Fresh" came into being early in 2010 as a funny device to preview "Featherlighter". We had no idea that it would grow legs and run on its own into a full out persona which is present in the first 2 videos I have directed for 2011 (Chrysler 300, and Walk Through The Wall.)

After that Preview I hooked up with the amazing people of MPLS.TV (which is you havent looked them up from all my tweets. Get on that shit now. They are doing game changing work over there) From which I was introduced to and starting a continuing working relationship as well as friendship with Toki Wright of the Rhymesayers. From that I directed my most successful video of the year in "By The Time I get To Arizona 2010" receiving national exposure and comments from people that i wish to someday work with  such as Talib Kweli.

Getting to the midpoint of the year I worked with Lazlo Supreme again on the video for " What Makes You Happy" and big video filled with an ensemble cast of very cool people. This video was the first time I got to work with Aquilo studios ( an amazing soundstage and production studio) This video was a big step for me in terms of turning the video around as I left to go work in LA while I was still editing the video and proved to me that I could in fact be a director for indie groups in MPLS and be out in LA working (something which is becoming a mainstay for me now [thanks JB for everything])

After What Makes you Happy I journeyed out to LA to work in the industry on the stereoscopic conversion of the first 3 shrek films. This was a great experience which brought me back to my beginnings in the vfx field surrounded by my friends working hard and having a ton of fun (icings, JIA!!!!, Jenkins, Dude Party! a ton more things)

I returned from LA in September to a semi-quiet (from a release perspective) end of the year. I worked on 2 music videos which will be coming out in the early part of 2011 as stated before those are Chrysler 300 and Walk Through the Wall for Toussaint Morrison.

2010 was an a amazing year for me on all levels of my working and personal life. I celebrated my first full year of being married (Mara you keep me sane which is no small task and I am thankful for you every single moment of everyday) a multitiude of Music Videos (meriting multiple nominations for the TC Hip Hop Awards in January) my first work in the feature film VFX industry and progression of pipeline and workflow for my feature film Burial Ground. Overall an amazing year. But...

2011 will be bigger. There are already 2 videos in the can waiting to get out and on to your ipod/ipad/laptop/galazy tab/heart and brain. I am going to be working With Botzy from Culture Cry Wolf on an amazing music video. I will work with Homeless Ryan K from Mnemosyne, I will be doing another big video with my guy Toki Wright. Then there are new videos for Toussaint Morrison, Lazlo Supreme, The Blend. Hopefully there will be even more than that before we hit mid-year. So thats the music video side of things.

But thats not all. My forever in post long awaited ( for some, angrily for others) feature film directorial debut Burial Ground will be out in 2011. Thus allowing me to start the planning stages of the next feature film or mayhaps a web series. (I have been writing a ton) All the while bouncing back and forth from MPLS to Cali to work on BIG feature films that come out this year (cant tell you what they are or i will be killed)

So thats that thus far. So in the end thank you to everyone who has viewed, laughed, hated, loved, or that meh about the videos I brought the world this year. I appreciate that you would look at my work in a digital sea (like tron) filled with other things to watch. So thank you again and good luck to everyone in the endevors in 2011 and hopefully you stay tuned to whats going with me.

After Thoughts: The Prof Show 11/19

Last Night Prof, Lazlo Supreme, Mnemosyne, K.Raydio and Mike Dreams  took care of Business... Also I debuted some music videos I directed/edited and did visual effects on.

I have never seen the Varsity completely sold out before in my life. I have been there as a director debuting videos before yesterday. I have been there as a videographer doing concert films before. Basically I have been there a ton. Last night that place was filled to the brim and it was awesome!

I think the highlight of the night for me as a fan, was seeing the Midwestern version of the drake and friends track "Forever" I call it this only because it featured Ryan K from Mnemosyne, Just Riley (also from Mnemosyne), Mike Dreams, Toussaint Morrison and the rest of the group Lazlo Supreme playing the instruments. The track was full of energy and the beat was out of control. Rumor has it that it was just a preview of what is to come with a couple more artists joining the fray.

The 2 music videos that "previewed" last night were both for Toussaint Morrison off his upcoming Mixtape. The tracks  "Chrysler 300" and "Walk Through The Wall" went over like gangbusters. Now I can't speak for other directors/editors/ vfx artists out there but when I hear a crowd of 800 erupt in frenzy over seeing a cardboard robot dancing in a laundry mat I cant help but be elated. The same could be said for the women in the balcony who gasped when the love interest in "Chrysler 300" turns out to be a vampire.

The scary thing here is that I didnt know how these music videos would go over with a PROF crowd. But after seeing them gravitate towards the videos and cheer like mad (Walk Through The Wall especially) I was relieved and knew that we were doing all the right things visually and musically. We just need to figure out a way to get them into the eyes and computers of more people out there. So when these Videos drop we will be looking into more avenues than before for getting them into your brain. But as always if you see anything that was directed by me and love it. Do me and the group that it is for a solid and send a mass email, text, tweet, etc.  Post that thing to the Facebook wall of every friend you got.  Reactivate your Friendster account and tell those 2 people who wont let it die that they need to see this shit.

In the end I want to say Thank-You for coming out the show last night I know all the artists loved the crowd; who couldnt they were electric. Lastly from me a Huge thanks for watching the music videos everyone involved worked very hard on making a mini-film for the viewers and it just feels fucking awesome to have a massive crowd get into them on the scale that you did last night.
