The Dark Ages video. Somehow I totally messed up on posting the videos I worked on so here it is:

Light Portals and Vex Ruffin

Just finished shooting a music video for Vex Ruffin last night. We had lots of fun electrical taping wrongly sized trippy filters onto cameras and rubber hoods. Expect the strangely beautiful dreamlike visuals that-you've-come-to-expect permeate JJ's videos.

I built the blue light portal. I like to think of it as a blend between an oversized blue decatron and a Stargate.

Turns out Vex is playing a show this weekend at the Pinoy Festival in San Pedro. To whatever two people read this, join us!

P.S. Video coming soon!

P.P.S. Here's me doing my best Richard Ayoade impression (circa AD/BC days) in front of the light as shot off a monitor:

Laser Cutting Enclosures

Creating enclosures for projects is always fun but doing it can easily become a large time sink. A while ago I stumbled on a very handy online script that saves a ton of time getting all the repetitive parts done in one step (and noting it here for the sake of posterity):

 Putting useful modifications in the photobooth. The latest is wall power for the camera so that I can get my drink on instead of fiddling with dead batteries.

Geneva Jacuzzi for Vice Magazine

Geneva Jacuzzi's photoshoot for Vice just dropped and it looks fantastic! JJ's vision and Geneva's energy are a perfect combination.

Some of my favorite shots are copied here as well as the set we made. Check out the spread in its entirety on the Vice site HERE

Ford and Photobooth

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be invited to one very special night in Santa Barbara celebrating the marriage of Jamie and Joe! This turned be a double whammy of awesome: taking the newly fixed 66 Ford (which I have worked very hard on) on it's longest journey yet and getting another opportunity to use the photobooth I made last year.

The truck made the 200+ mile roundtrip flawlessly and a gigantic photobooth was a definite headturner in the city and on the freeway.

Plenty of beer and wine was consumed and shenanigans were had!
