awwww yeahhh
We’re making videos again, so Buddy Guys is back! This one’s pretty local, so if people who live around us in Surrey/White Rock don’t like it, then we’re pretty much out of luck. So. That was smart of us.
Anyways, we’ve started making videos again! Yay! Please reblog this if you like it so we know if we should keep going :)
Hey look! It’s a thing that I’m in! It’s for a local TV show called The Sustainable Region, the video my team made can be seen here.
New Overshare!!! WE BACK, WE GLOBAL! I don’t know what that means.
But school is over, and Overshare is back! So Enjoy. And please share it on Facebook, Twitter, and reblog this post: I’m worried no one will watch this since it’s been two months, and I feel like the subject matter beyond the jokes is something we all deal with in a big way nowadays.

A new Buddy Guys is up! “Horoscope”, in which the new Zodiac sign makes Shyam Valera question his entire life.
Enjoy! And please reblog/share the sketch if you like it :)
This afternoon I decided to just go ahead and finish up a short film that we shot on a whim this February. 1.5 hours turned into 7 (editing is the one thing in life I can do with no sense of time, laziness, or anything but joy, really) and here it is!
Jinx. It’s a short film that Shyam Valera and I wrote for an assignment in high school: make a film with no dialogue. So we did, but were exempt from handing it in because we were organizing our 3rd-annual city-wide film festival, so about a year later, when I was finally a video camera owner, we decided it was time to make something and this was just sitting there as a fun little idea.
So we shot during Olympic break (the Olympics took our school’s busses, so class was out) with help from Kevin Lam, Mannan Ahmed, and Dan Johnson. Total writing time ~2/3 hours, total shooting time ~8/9 hours, total editing/colour/visual effects (my 1st ever VFX shot is in there! See if you can catch it :D)/post time ~30 hours, I’d guess.
I hope everyone enjoys it— it’s not much, and there are definitely glaring flaws, but if you cracked a smile then I think it was a success. Let me know in the comments.
Thanks for watching!

PS I JUST WATCHED (half of) WILLOW SMITHS WHIP-MY-HAIR SONG AND I TOTALLY GET WHY IT’S A BIG DEAL NOW
-Where I’m From-
I’m totally in love with Justin Sacurom.
Y’know, in a straight way.
So i went to Metro Town today to look for a job, more specifically Urban Behaviour, no not because there is a girl there that looked mighty fine LOL.
Talking to this girl about the work place she stated that it’s really chill, and that they are hiring, as the conversation progressed she started talking to me about what kind of guys shes into, why you might ask, i have no idea. She asked me where i was from, so i said Surrey, immediatly she said “Euuuuuuggghh i hate Surrey” why i asked, she said because its a “brown town” her being from East Van she said that brown people up there hate brown people from surrey, i know surrey might not be the GREATEST place, but it sucks to be generalized as people to be hated for something we did not even do, being in highschool sure, i was picked on by other brown students by my ethnicity but i could really care less about what they could say to me now, it was all a growing experience, sure people out here might not be the friendliest but there are alot of people from surrey here that have high hopes and high spirits and big hearts all of whch have inspired me to be a better person for who i am today other than that she went on about how she only has interests in specific types of races weather your from europe or your white, being asian herself, it suprised me how some people can be very shallow, and not really think before they speak, after all she did say “i find asians disgusting” does that mean you find yourself disgusting? i’m asian too, but yet you talk like you accept everyone, so in the most joyous way of her talking to me, are you kindly telling me that you find me disgusting LOL how odd, too bad i canned the crap out of her about how not everyone from surrey is how you say way are.
Aside from this whole meaningless discussion of her kinds of interests and her turns offs, i think i have the job a Urban Behaviour only problem is now if i do end up working there, i have to work along side this shallow girl, maybe just maybe i can inspire her to see outside the box, but then again why should i even put time on it? :D the only ray of hope that i saw in her that she agreed on that i tell everyone is that “it’s not even about your race, and how you look, or how you dress, at the end of the day it’s a persons personallity that counts” - and i stay true what i say.
Video Updates!
So I’ve recently been posting about a video per day, but have just realized that I’ve missed updating THIS site with those videos. Here they are!
1. Vlog Six | On the Set of “Jinx” (Part Three)
More from the shooting of our new short.
We couldn’t sing at him, and we couldn’t ignore the ridiculousness. The internet was our only way to call out the grade 11 kid acting *way* too cool.
2. Vlog Seven | On the Set of “Jinx” (Part Four)
We’re done Day One of filming. Just lettin’ loose.
3. Vlog Eight | On the Set of “Jinx” (Part Five)
Our second and final day of filming. We find an AV cart and things get crazy professional. But crazy first.
4. Vlog Nine | Vancouver 2010
The opening ceremonies of the Olympics? More like the opening ceremonies of the future.
So the time has come to make me a nice big announcement. Starting at the end of this month, and working right through Summer ‘09, mkpmedia and I will be heavy into production on our first webseries, a 5-part comedic show called “School Daze”. Visit the site, makingschooldaze.blogspot.com, to stay up to date and follow along our unpredictable journeys through this.
This is going to be a real test of, well, everything - workflow, technology, creative and technical skill, business, marketing - I’m hoping all goes well and we can really learn a lot of lessons through this, and be in stronger and more confident place when we start our future slate of content.
Enjoy,
