leif and i are on the train to new york...

thats a saves the day line if you are wondering.

i'm almost done mastering "asleep at the trigger." with school started back up and such i'm beginning to find less and less time to just finish stuff (or just to make .gifs). still i'll try to have it uploaded by sometime this week (i know i know i've been saying that for weeks now)

i might be purchasing a new lens very soon which will be awesome and super dooper concave and all fish eye like. who said skating is dead?! well i did but thats beside the point. and no part III will never be made.


anyways how are you? i know people peep this so say hi if you do in the comment section, i'm not going all myspace for comments i'm just saying, saying hi is nice.

aaaaaaand last but not least, stone cold steve austin on tv with a mullet wig.

blast from the past

i decided to get creative today and dig thru my old comp which got had the motherboard get fried after a storm about 5 years ago. i decided to take out the hard drive and put it in this comp and i now have all my "roots" literately again. its pretty cool to see pics from my first days using me digital camera for skating and just other long forgotten memories. ive really wanted to use that old footage of chris and i years ago (prob the era i had that comp) for like a retro movie... maybe that project i should pursue a little. although some videos i got some ideas for is asobi sesku "thursday" and maybe hollaback boy... i got an amazing idea for that. (hahha)

but enough with that, the real reason i even dug though my old comp was to find some ram i could use to maybe get asleep at the trigger to render.. but i got nothing. i really hope my comp decides to corporate so i can get this online. again im really excited over this short.

i knew it sucked but this is just rediculas

i filmed more of asleep at the trigger yesterday (in the freezing cold!) i got basically all of it done. but of course there is a catch to it... for some odd reason my computer cant handle it and every time i open the studio files to render the video and make it into a mpg the program just dies. suggestions? (don't say get a new comp! and don't say get some ram because i'm working on that!) but i'm gonna try to work around this and hopefully have a finished product up. i'm really excited over this video, its by far the most experimental i've gotten, but i got tons of confidence in it. so wish me luck!
