Found Video: Pitching Michel Gondry in Fader

nirvan — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 20:00:31 -0500

a friend spotted this Fader Video that happened to catch my pitch to Michel Gondry (about 3/4 in). This was at Family Books about a month ago. In reality, I was the very last person in line. The line was long, but well worth the wait.

Story Boarding + Motion Graphics

nirvan — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 12:46:09 -0400

Here are some pics/video of a storyboarding session I was working on. Basically, the plan is to create a new and much improved intro video to go with the new site.

So, kind of a funny story: I was at a friends working on these boards, when Ara Devejian and Ana Bagayan came by for a visit. They asked what I was storyboarding, and I went through the concept. I also mentioned that I needed an After Effects artist to work on motion graphics. Turns out, Ara is a motion graphic wizard. He showed me his amazing reel, including some scenes many of you probably saw in Iron Man, and the next thing you know, we were brainstorming ideas and working together.

Here is some video from yesterday:

I can't begin to tell you how many parking laws we broke. But all went well, including a roof bus performance by the Evangenitals. We streamed live from a mobile rigg, then edited and posted today. Justine has some pics of our mobile rig on her blog: www.ijustine.com

How to Embed High Res YouTube Clips

nirvan — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 19:58:09 -0400

YouTube recently added the ability to view videos in high res, and I recently learned how to link to and embed to the high res videos directly (thanks mikeb!).

For posting/linking to a YouTube URL, add to the end of the URL:

&fmt=18

For embedding to a high res YouTube video add the following code onto the end of both URLs in the embed code:
&ap=%2526fmt%3D18

The hack links directly to the MP4 version instead of

7 Perfect Moments from Charleston, South Carolina

nirvan — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 20:36:36 -0400

This is pretty awesome, one of our producers (Barry Watson from South Carolina) went around Charleston with a video camera and asked people to share a perfect moment to make into a one second film.

I think they are all really cool, but my absolute favorite moment is the begining of video number 3.

Moment 1 of 7:
