I got a part time job working at a local TV station as a production assistant for the morning news show. Which is awesome, gets me in the TV/Studio fold and get some hands on training action, pay isn’t great, at all, but it’ll bring in a few extra hundred every month which means I’ll actually be able to pay bills! And not have to decide which ones to not pay every other month. I might actually be able to start saving up for a MacBookPro or decent iMac.
So the negatives? Oh, it’s from 4:30 AM to 9 AM, then I head to my full-time job at FedEx, and work from 12-7, get home around 8:30 PM, spend 2 hours with my wife, new born son, and 6 year old step-daughter and then it’s off to bed to be up at 3 AM to do it all over. I get to spend 2 hours every day with my family, and still be in debt. That’s living the American Dream right there, let me tell you.
So if anyone needs any video work done, I can do it on the weekends, so deadline essential stuff is kind of out of the question, since I literally don’t have time for it.
bummmmmmer
At least I’m IN the game though.

Spent most of today working on the bumper artwork for Disintelligence TV, which will be a weekly show done by myself for Disintelligence.com focusing on, well, news and other such things. Mainly weird news, none of the stuff that you’ll be finding on your local news network.
First Episode should be up by Wednesday if I can get it put together in time, I spent pretty much all of today getting the bumper art put together, still need to do credits tomorrow.
Topics will include Microsoft’s Project Natal, The Army’s use of RFID chips in Pakistan as homing beacons, City Year and what the GIVE Act means for America and more.
DITV will focus mostly on strange news, think of it as….Weekly World News, but real, and in video format.
Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction.

Okay, so no VCast today. I need to figure out how to stream from my desktop onto ustream, and if there’s an app that lets me switch between iSight AND screencasting that would be the bee’s knees. If not I may have to settle for just doing recordings and posting them later. If it becomes popular I may end up doing live shows. Who knows?

I also added google adsense ads onto the site, just to start bringing in some sort of revenue, and I’m trying to pump this blog up a bit more, if you hadn’t noticed, that and I can use whatever bit of scratch I can get.

To say that I, um idolize, Kyle Cooper, would be a bit off. He’s one of the main influences, inspirations, alright listen, he’s the man, deal with it. Since the opening credits of Se7en, I’ve been obsessed with his work. His companies Prologue and Imaginary Forces are two of the best studios in the business, working on Iron Man, the Spider-Man franchise, Se7en, Dreamcatcher, and recently Terminator Salvation, the list is huge.
Art of the Title has a little interview up over there that you should check out.
So go on, get on it.

So here’s a new thing i’m going to start doing every Friday, or at least try to do. A collection of all the inspiring, amazing videos I’ve found during the week. From MoGraph, to 3D, to lectures, to tutorials, title sequences, Whatever.

Up top you’ll find What’s in the Box, from 2 Dutch Students, one of which is a PHYSICS major and vfx are his HOBBY?! Way to make me feel like crap. As Skwisgaar says, “The Dutch are scum”

Click on through to see the rest of this weeks best videos.
