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 :)
New Overshare! PLEASE share this on Facebook!: http://j.mp/ShareOS10
As it starts to get further away from 2001, it’s a little bit more ok for me to celebrate my birthday. Not this year, when all media everywhere was all about the 10 year anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks, but regardless of the year I’ve sort of learned to just embrace the weirdness of it all, since neither event is going to move. Could just ignore my birthday but I need some excuse to buy weirdly-expensive-considering-‘the economy’ cupcakes at least once a year.
I’ll be posting an outtake video on Dunya and our Facebook page soon— shot this episode at 12.30 am after a full pot of tea and slightly weird things happened, most of which surprisingly didn’t even make it into the final product. So look forward to that.
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.

Pixar Canada Officially Open!
Although they’re still in temporary offices in downtown Vancouver as they finalize a permanent, 20,000 sq ft. home, Pixar has released a video today announcing their official arrival in Canada! 18 year old me is pretty excited right now, while 8 year old me fainted before he had a chance to check the video out on CTV’s website, which for some reason is against embedding videos (we all know that embedding is why NO ONE has ever heard of YouTube…), which not only features John Lasseter, Ed Catmull, and the executive team at Pixar Canada discussing the new studio, but shows various classic characters discovering the city.
Like I said, I’m obviously pretty excited. Not just that Pixar’s in the country, but that they’re in the same city, when they could have hit up Montréal— the main reasons for Vancouver seem to be taxes, the matching timezone for working with the mothership, and the fact that there’s a huge talent pool here looking for work.
Here’s hoping it all works out in the long run, this is going to be a huge deal for the vfx/animation community at large here.
Thanks to /Film for the find!
Personally, I think if you’ve got talent, you’ve got talent. Beiber’s got a great voice, and although I’m not familiar with Miley Cyrus’ work, she’s hella entertaining in interviews. Doesn’t make this any less funny.
Oh dear God, I had to reblog this!
bahahaha.
I’m only blogging this because Justin Sacurom encouraged me to do more— I made an inukshuk today! Isn’t that interesting.
K$ advises going non-alcoholic in your olympic celebrations.
GOLD MEDAL CHAMPIONS. THE DRINK OF A CHAMPIONS.
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,
