House Arrest

VIDEO #319

Music by Jim Walker

I can see the movie slogan - "Jaws made people too scared to enter the water... this will make you never want to deliver a pizza again!" I stumbled across this great footage shot back in December, 2004. Who knows what Corey and I were thinking back then, but when I looked at the footage today, I thought, man... this would make an awesome little short. Corey debuting in an all-star performance and the all talented Jim Walker setting the atmosphere... shoot, all I had to do is put the clips together and witness the magic. Great to see old footage resurface and laugh out loud... even if it's watching yourself getting strangled to death. Thanks Corey and Jim!

One Hell of an Epic Score

For those who might know about the Twilight movies, maybe this will crack you up. If you don't, no worries, you're not really missing anything other than over dramatic vampires. Sorry if I offended any of you teenage girls out there. Edward Rocks! And yes... that is Katana and myself in the movie poster.

The Strangler

Strangling Music

It was the first decent night for a while as far as weather goes tonight so I decided to put on a heavy coat with a dark hood and prowl around in search for an innocent victim on their way home from work. Then I realized I had to post a video for the blog still, so here's the video. Ok, time to get back on out to scare me some neighbors! Ohh-hoo-ha-ha-haaaa! (My evil laugh)

Excellent Adventure

VIDEO #282

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

Today, I found an abandoned airport parking lot, only accessible by foot. Yes, this is strange. Even stranger, security guards were keeping their eyes on me by truck from the runway.... so, if they wanted to get me out of there... they'd have to get out of their temperature controlled environment, climb the barbed wire fence and chase after me... an all American Movie Man? No way. I stayed and shot this video. However, I was deathly afraid of the numerous bee's nests upon entering the time machine.

Rising Fears Trailer

VIDEO #258

Action, adventure.... romance?

Wow, this one goes way back! After school, my friends and I would film movie after movie with the huge VHS style camera, "Rising Fears" being our biggest production. I remember getting the name for the film scanning through magazines with them, picking one word at random, matching it with another. A little secret I'll let out, almost all films these days use this technique. Anyway, Rising Fears it was. After years of collecting dust, I remastered the VHS to dvd, recut and have copies on standby, ready to distribute to Focus Films or Paramount any day now. I'm sure they will get in a bidding war, all I have to do is sit back and ride the wave.

Song - "One Way Love" by Elizabeth Daily

If you have not witnessed the cinematic greatness of "Better Off Dead" with John Cusack, do yourself a favor and go on out to the dvd store and pick up a copy for the house. 1985 knew how to make good movies, simple as that.

The Tale of Zadah Trailer

Library Music

Two hundred videos! I thought it would be a great way to celebrate the moment by putting together a Walt Disney style movie trailer of a video my Dad filmed of us kids back in 1988 when we were little tikes. I remember having so much fun, running around all over Duluth, MN with my brother Matt and friends Nick and Morgan. The filmed runs 30 minutes in length, all edited in camera over the period of just one day. The premise is kind of a Goonies meets Stand By Me theme where we find a map and set out to find it. It's safe to say this influenced me in what I'm doing today, and no, I'm not a treasure hunter. Great thanks to my Dad for lugging us kids around, filming the movie that would become the first of many in my time. Thanks Pops!

Wow, late upload! Almost broke the streak. Here's a spoof from the movie 8 Mile with Eminem. Not a great movie whatsoever in my opinion but a great excuse to open up the toy chest. I love my toys... there... I said it!

"Last Days" Casting

VIDEO #139

Here's a treat for you from the archives, recut from its original 16 minutes. Back when Director, Gus Van Sant was casting his latest movie at the time, "Last Days," my hilarious friend Kai and I set out for the street to interview the locals. We posed as a fictitious television show, "UVTV." We had no trouble getting an almost all access pass to film and harass the event. If you want to see the full version you'll have to come on over sometime and check it out. It's amazing.

Human Jaws Attack

Jaws Theme

I really hope this video doesn't make the kids out there think I am an evil shark man who attacks girls on floaties in swimming pools. On the other hand, with the idea I did scare little kids from going in pools could mean more urine free water..... it's a revolution!

In central Oregon there are a ton of lava caves to explore. This one was in the middle of nowhere near Bend. Lots of fun but a little spooky knowing that one boulder falling could mean the end of a perfectly good day. It might be tough to see so check it out here if you'd like:

Theatrical Trailer Voice

We all love the drama that comes with those fantastic trailer voices these days so I thought I'd give it a shot with some random cemetery footage from back in the day. And no, I do not think I will get the budget anytime soon to make the film, which is probably a good thing.
