Cleaning my car I found the fossilized remains of a french fry let to sit had gone liquid. Gimme a dino, let's make oil! #energycrisissolved4 hours ago
I was working on a prototype for a new series of pop culture video blips when Roger stepped in and asked to host them at Tainted Reality. The term “crash cuts” refers to when your video editing amounts to recording each new shot straight to tape as you intend the audience to view it. It’s frowned upon which makes it funny and edgy to me. It’s what they do in Be Kind Rewind and I love that movie. This episode may as well be called MTV Real Life: I was a middle-aged vocaloid. Enjoy.
We took Maya to Takako’s hometown of Tateyama to see Takako’s family there and showed her the sites, this was the result. Some of the cuts are there just to get Maya to laugh. She’s already watched it 20 times and won’t stop pestering us to show it 20 more. I feel flattered and very, very tired. The song on the video is “Marshmallow Day” by Mr. Children and we, in no way, have permission to use it.
Maya’s reign of adorable continues with Episode III of My Corner of the World. This time we’re in animal costumes and are joined by GRAPHIC ARTIST, CHRISTOPHER BUTLER!!
Maya continues to make awesome videos for Nerd-Base.com. This time on My Corner of the World we had fun with the Whedon double punch of The Avengers and The Cabin in the Woods.
I know no one’s watching these but making them with people I love is fun. Maybe that’s all that matters anymore. As Miley Cyrus would call it, “The Cli~mb.”
Started a new web series out of my music room called My Corner of the World. It’s about reaching that point in life when you give up geek real estate in your home, in order to make way for the all consuming young life you brought into this world. In my case, my daughter Maya Ariel. It’s about sifting through the mountain of new releases and old classics and picking and choosing carefully what stays and what goes. It’s also an awesome way to have fun with my daughter and wife.
First Episode is below. New episodes premiere at Nerd-Base.com twice monthly on Thursdays at 6PM.
Is the government covering up a vast zombie apocalypse conspiracy? Is a local NJ survival traning course actually an Umbrella recruitment center? Won’t someone think of the poor zombies!? Find your answers and more in this video I produced.
If ever there is a stuck (or cut) pig, you know who not to call now. Give me something with paper thin skin any day.
Overall I’d have to say it was a pretty bitchin’ day and I got to add a shit ton of firearms to my list of “I feel comfortable shooting something with that” guns. Not that I would harm anything that wasn’t trying to scarf my brains.
Anyway if you’re in NJ, you gotta check them out. Any German Inus out there, lemme know if you saw me acting like a zombie with some blonde German TV host on Germany’s own ARD. I made a total dummkopf of myself in the very best way.
The pie in the face madness continues… or continued. Rhi fell behind in posting them to the website and I wanted to give her views and traffic so I held off posting them here.
Rhi’s in rough shape after having all her teeth pulled and three corrective surgeries hence. Send her some love, fan art, solied undergarments @ http://www.rhicoverasmile.com
It’s fun to look back and remember how adorably chubby Maya was as a baby. My nieces, were right on the cusp of teendom too. That scene of them running into the setting sun was heaven-sent.
I don’t ask for much. I’ve never charged anyone for a translation. You’ve never seen a “donate” button on this website. I create things because I want to make people smile and feel alive. It’s why I got into the entertainment industry. So when I say I need you to pay my generosity forward, you know I’m serious. Below you’ll find a funny video. It’s the first of many I’m making for my friend Rhiannon or Rhi to help draw attention to her website RhiCoverASmile.com.
I am willing to make a fool of myself over and over again to my last fool drop, to save this girl. I have no shame when it comes to her life.
My first impression of this video was that this person is looking back on scenes or memories through tearful eyes. Regardless of how the blurring interprets literally, the more I watch it the more I’ve started to feel it. Inori is not so much about what was lost, but what was gained. So yes, the world is blurring, but the memories themselves are transforming from hurtful to hopeful by finding the beauty within the pain. It’s a simple matter of changing where your focus is and where your camera’s eye is trained.
It’s a beautiful video, if a little dull, but whenever I feel a yawn coming on, Sakurai’s unrivaled passion brings me back. I love that this band can have such a big, bold artistic concept in their video. They truly are a dying breed.
