Life in a Day - Final cut

I made the final cut of Life in a Day!

To create the movie the filmmakers, Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald, asked the YouTube community to submit videos of their life on a single day - July 24 2010. They gathered 80,000 video clips (5,000 hours of footage) and edited it into a 90-minute documentary that premiered at Sundance last night.

They used the part where my gorgeous wife pulls her Ruger out of her pocket:

Here's a link to the Life in a Day page. Unfortunately they aren't rebroadcasting the film on YouTube in the United States:

Guaranteed Sex featured at Best for Film

The incredible turtle riding Magda Knight of Best for Film just featured Guaranteed Sex in the new Short Film of the Week section. Check it out. There's a brief interview with yours truly included:

Hot Air Balloons

I shot this timelapse of a hot air balloon launching in Las Cruces, NM. It's the first video I've uploaded to YouTube in 4k resolution and I think it turned out pretty nice.

Viva la Vida -or- How To Giftwrap a House

The footage I used in this video is from the film, The Art of TPing -or- How To Giftwrap a House. It was made in 1971 as a highschool English project, then scanned from film to digital and uploaded to YouTube.

Around the time that Coldplay released their album, "Viva la Vida," my wife discovered this film while browsing through random YouTube videos. She thought it would go with the song. After I watched it, I thought so too.

I cut the film into this video in one night when I couldn't stop listening to the song for a few days.

This has been offline for the last three years due to some copyright issues, but I think the time is right to put it back online:
