Skate Project

2009-12-13T17:52:00.002-06:00

I'm compiling over 15 hours of skate footage from the summer and making a new DVD project that should be done within a couple of months for sure. There is a lot to do when making a movie for distribution. Let me know if you are interested in a copy and I will be sure to get it to you.

I have been on winter break from CMU since Wednesday. It's nice to relax and take it easy. I'm glad I am already done with half the school year. This will give me more time to update my site and blog. I have a new edit that will be posted later on today or possible tomorrow. Stay tuned for it.

Theatre

2009-11-30T09:44:00.002-06:00

I am reciting my last of my theatre presentations today. I am not much of an actor but I have been working on it. My 2 poem selection by Edgar Allan Poe and Shel Silverstein should be good.

cinema

2009-11-09T09:02:00.002-06:00

I just finished writing my 13 page final analysis paper for my Cinema class. I decided to write about Stanely Kubrick's 1971 film, A Clockwork Orange. At the last minute I tried to print out a hardcopy to find out that my ink dies halfway though. So I was forced to pay $2 at the Park Library at CMU to print... Such a stressful day.

innovative

2009-10-16T11:48:00.002-05:00

There's a new innovative longboarding project that I'm compiling together, using old footage but still all new. I should have it done very soon and posted within a couple of days. Starring Derek and Jason Yerke, John Minelli, and Alex K. This is not all that I have been working on, but is all that will be completed rather timely. I will announce the next big post beforehand.

busy

2009-10-06T22:44:00.002-05:00

Hey everyone. By the name of the post you should have known that I have been extremely busy lately. With college work and personal issues, it has been really hard to do anything new. Even though I have not posted, that doesn't mean I have not created anything. When it all settles down I will continue...

1st week

2009-08-28T11:17:00.002-05:00

I just finished my first week at CMU. I plan on being involved in MHTV and Film Society as co-ciriculars. I am also in the process of trying to get a job with F.A.C.I.T. They do all the filming for special events and they have a very large inventory of brand-new equipment. I hope everything goes through smoothly. No new vids. to post at the moment since I have dedicated most of my time to school.

2009-08-16T19:03:00.002-05:00

I am very happy to announce that the official Battle4mp.com site is finally up and running once more. After many months of being down due to technical problems, since my service provider is stationed out of Australia, it made it quite difficult to figure everything out. By the way money fixes everything so become rich. haha so don't forget to check it out and watch some new vids!

leeches dvd

2009-04-14T18:48:00.005-05:00

I finished making The Leeches live DVD of them performing at The Malt Shop today and sold it to the band. It turned out pretty good for how bad I assumed the sound quality would be. Later on I plan on posting a couple of the live song performances on here and on my site. I look forward to filming more concerts in the future.

out of space

2009-04-04T11:48:00.003-05:00

I just ran out of my gb bandwidth on my server... so that means, I am going to remove I think 4 vids and add 3 of my new ones. Movies take up a ton of more space than pictures and music. Also since my site features over 20 high quality vids, it is hard to work with the amount of room that I am given. I am working on the update right now. It should be completed around 2:30pm. thanks

states

2009-03-27T21:27:00.002-05:00

Last weekend I stayed at the Amway Grand in Grand Rapids, MI for the BPA States Competition. It was a lot of fun and quite the experience. I didn't know how easy it was to blow $100 so fast... Even though our team did not do the greatest, it was still quite an enjoyable time.

special features

2009-03-27T21:24:00.001-05:00

I am currently thinking up good bonuses that I will add to the special features portion of the new B4MP dvd that should be coming out very soon. If you think of any good ideas, contact me asap, otherwise I will continue to follow through with my own ideas.

New Innovative Edit

2008-11-20T08:42:00.001-06:00

I'm working on a new edit with existing footage that I still have on my hard drive to practice and learn some new and exciting techniques that I normally don't have time for on a normal basis. So when this edit comes out within a couple of days, everyone will notice the footage used and I will try to limit the amount of footage that is duplicates of footage used in the Full Moon edit released earlier month which contains most of the best highlights from this year's filming.

Update

2008-11-13T13:26:00.001-06:00
