SF to Paris in Two Minutes

This is incredible! Shot with a 5d2, a time-lapse controller, and a 16mm - 35mm, mixed with some iPhone shots. The plane took the Great Circle route above the polar regions, the video flies us through the aurora borealis, giving us a look at those spectacular northern lights.  Also remarkable is the fact that the Air France flight crew allowed the use of that bundle of electronic devices throughout the entire flight. At the end of this video, you'll see the rig with which he snapped the 2,459 shots -- one approximately every two miles. After the flight, they were edited together along with a few judiciously placed iPhone pics shot along the way. You need to watch this!

Community' Star Donald Glover Talks Hip-Hop

I am beyond excited for the IAMDONALD show on May 6th. I am pretty sure I am the only going since no one bought tickets when I told them to and they are sold out now! Either way I am going to drink a 40 probably and get crunk. Below is a part of an article from spin magazine about Donald's rap and his life growing up. I just think its funny how you can tell real hip-hop fans from none. I have been telling all the dick riders jumping on Childish Gambino that he is not a joke rapper. You know what check it out he is not...Read more of the article HERE















Glover thinks his songs, funny though many of them may be, are to winking novelty acts as quirky shows like Community are to middle-of-the-road ratings champs like, well, Two and a Half Men. "Three-camera is old rap, when they tell you when to be scared and when it's funny," he says. "Like, 'Yeah, fucking drugs! Fucking bitches!' And the comedy rap is like"--his voice jumps an octave to approximate Bill Cosby's folksy warble--" 'This is about salami!' But now, there's an element of single-camera: Is it funny? Laugh if you want."

The Cool Kids Bundle Up Music Video

Man I have been talking about making something along these lines for awhile now. What I mean is parodies on the industry. It's cool to see that BBGUN is right there with me on the topic. Plus I am glad The Cool Kids were on board to make the video. Check it out...

THE FILM | MOMENTS WITH ALOE BLACC, MIHALJ “MIKI” KEKENJ & JAYBO

This is pretty cool. A violin player and composer took some of Aloe Blacc's music and rearranged it into a string-quintet composition, while another painter took that and made a panting. Then they all got together with Aloe Blacc and performed. Check it out...
