Training Wheels

Keith lived 23 years without knowing how to ride a bike. For real. 
With the help of his 60-year-old father, he attempts to change that.

nine inch nails - somewhat damaged (live @ terminal 5, nyc 8/26/2009)

Remember when I was head over heels, apeshit-deep in love with Nine Inch Nails and saw them 4 times in one week in 2009?  This video from their last show in New York City is a pretty gnarly example why (0:45).

Day 2 of Project “Something”
Lots of writing, less of editing.
Rough cut of a new video has a self-imposed deadline of 2pm today.
New ideas: Film learning how to ice skate on Feb 27?
Also: Film a zany/creepy tourist video when I go away on Thursday?
Open mic standup with painfully awful/awkward material?
Lots of brainstorming, less of editing.

Project “Something” - Day 1

Starting today, I will be spending the next 6 weeks working full-time on new videos and pitches (minus a 5 day vacation to LA).

The uber-talented John Langan is on board to intern, associate produce, and help out with workflow.  That’s him in the screen grab above, kicking things off with a productive webchat.  If you’re unfamiliar with the talent of Mr. Langan, do yourself a favor and check out his website John Langan Online and awesome band The Motorcycle Industry.

We’re not so sure specifically what it is we’ll be doing, but there’s a buttload of ambition, confidence, and determination on the table.  Should be a good time.

Follow your dreams, kids.  Follow your dreams.

Cheers,
Keith

DELOCATED SEASON 2 IS A WRAP!!!

Helloooooo six week vacation!

delocatedblog:

It was a long edit, and as you can see, I’m exhausted.  Shhhhhhhhhh!!!

We finished editing Monday.  The episodes turned out great, and I want to thank our hard working post team.

Here’s one of our editors, Mike LaHaie, on the phone telling his mommy what a great job he did.  Behind Mike, Will Cox oversees the color correct and obviously eavesdrops on the call.

Our other editor Jeff Buchanan takes a little ‘chill sesh’ on the floor of the color correct.

It’s all smiles as Post Coordinator Lindsay Washick and Supervising Producer Steve Ast pretend that my picture taking isn’t annoying them while they try to get work done.

Sound engineer Paul Hsu takes a ramen break from the sound mix.

He likes the band Cake.  He LOVES the movie “Freddy Got Fingered”.  He doesn’t know who John Coltrane is.  He’s a “vegetarian” who eats fish.  There’s a lot of chinks in the armor that we took great pleasure in constantly and mercilessly giving him a hard time about, but I don’t know where we’d be without the dedicated, enthusiastic, tireless, hard work of assistant editor Keith “Kskill” Haskel.

And finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge our post intern, Tom Fitzpatrick.  As he is demonstrating here, Tom’s main job was to make the edit tables go up and down.  But really, he was there to make the post process in general a little more adorable.  Thanks, Fitzy.

There’s no air date set as of yet for the second season.  But now that we’re done with the edit and I’m not as crazed, I will (hopefully) be updating the blog more regularly with more photos and stories and whatsuchhaveyou’s from the season and the edit.  And as soon as I get info on a premier date I’ll post it.  So keep checking in to the blog for Season 2 info!

Super Mario Brothers 2 in real life by Mega64

These guys have some other video games in real life gems such as Paperboy and Tetris, but nothing tops Remi Gaillard’s Mario Kart.

In conclusion, everyone should go public about dorking in public.

The more I think about the iPad, the better it is.  Once this thing is jailbroken, shizz will be bonkers.  Still don’t want one until it has a camera and HDMI out, but it’s going to be a crazy crazy device.
