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.
I made a new episode of Overshare! Made one before this too that I absolutely couldn’t post, this is a re-shoot of that that I almost didn’t post, but a whole bunch of editing ended up making it totally watchable. So here it is! Enjoy and please share/reblog :)
New Overshare! This one’s called ‘Focus’. You know what would make my day? You watching it.
I’m actually going to try and take my own advice here and make another Overshare in, y’know, less than two months.
Enjoy and please re-blog!

Another week, another episode of my and Ben Wright’s podcast, Keeping in Touch. You’ll noticed I haven’t put the podcast player in the post this episode, and that’s because this week, Ben insisted that I never do anything, and that we had to film a video right after the show.
So with no plan or slightest inkling of an idea, we walked over to the field near my house and started improvising what ended up being a facebook-exclusive promo for the podcast. I say facebook exclusive, but really it’s embeddable so I’d love you to spread it as much as you can. And while you’re at us, like us on facebook too!
Episode 16 of Keeping in Touch can be directly downloaded here, but it’s always better to subscribe in iTunes, Zune for free on iTunes, Zune, or wherever else you want to so you never miss an episode! And these episodes are really, come on, not to be missed.
…I wanted to get a tattoo. My parents told me to get it somewhere that didn’t matter. So I had it done in Alberta.
This November 2009-February 2010 time lapse of BC Place as the Olympic opening, medal, and closing ceremonies were built, rehearsed, and put on is pretty incredible. While a part of my soul hurts from the extravagance of cost exhibited herein (and the knowledge that much of it was directly from taxes), the other part of me that’s faced a challenge trying to put on events for just 300 people is completely in awe.
I can’t really wrap my head around the idea of rehearsing the closing ceremonies by night WHILE setting up and taking down the medal ceremonies to be conducted by day. I have a feeling London’s going to have to do something similar with the limited space that they have to work with.

Video Blog Sixteen: The “Studio”.
I recently had to do a video assignment for my Communications class (CMNS130W, if you need to know), and decided to share the “setup” I had… set up… at home to make me all lit up. Filmed with a lower quality camera this time, but you can still more or less tell what’s going on.
I finish first year University tomorrow, so hopefully that means more video blogs and kaymoney coming up soon!
I reaaaaallly want to say “Huzzah!” right here but that would just be annoying and weird. So I’m definitely NOT saying “Huzzah!”. Right here.
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!
I think I would rank this “Video Game Movie Trailer” my #1 favourite Mega64 video. A tough call to make, but this one was the best production quality they’d ever achieved at the time, showed that they had chops beyond random skits (I’ve only seen one episode of their show, the first of “Version 2”, and did not enjoy it at all), and, well, I won’t ruin it.
Just watch the video and enjoy.
I bought an 8GB microSDHC card today for my phone. I can’t believe that I can use this in my video camera and fit 44 minutes of 1080p HD video on this little plastic shaving. How is anything INSIDE there?
$21.99 @ Costco btw, includes a regular SD card that you can pop this in to.
