I need this to be real...
I need to believe that this is not some clever marketing ploy
carefully designed to tug at our heart-strings with
the most spectacular animated short. EVER!
Written by a 5 year-old... Animated by a 29 year-old...
It's more amazing than you can even imagine!

Too Underground for MTV...
As a result of my A.D.D., or the fact that I'm an Aries, or my love of sugar as a child, my attention jumps from one project to another, often straddling various medium. One week I may be building a lamp and the next week I might be reupholstering a chair (even though there are countless other things I should be doing)...
This week, audio seems to have a good grip on my attention. Exploring my new Bleep-it has reminded me of the important role that music plays and the calming/healing effect it can have on my own life... especially when that music stems from within myself.
Today I downloaded Windows Movie Maker and attempted to use some of the random LED footage I've been filming and stockpiling. This video was a method of exploring Movie Maker, but I also consciously decided to use my new audio track in the hopes of having a somewhat-acceptable "music video" to unleash upon the world when I was done...
It's no OK-Go-Rube-Goldberg-video, but, whatever... Enjoy!

This came out of me last night...
LOL... dirty, dirty minds... anyway...
I am pleased with myself when I make things that are calm and relatively less chaotic...
but usually chaos reigns. I was tinkering last night and must have been relatively relaxed, because in less than an hour I had completed this track... I find it rather soothing...
Extreme Rube Goldberg
OK Go is one of the few bands that I admire and that I would also consider popular. I don't actually own any of their albums, but their videos are so simply creative and refreshing. Their latest video for their song This Too Shall Pass is basically the most amazing Rube Goldberg machine I have ever seen and by the end of the video I was giggling out loud with giddy enthusiasm of what would be triggered next... and just when I thought I had grown tired of Rube Goldberg.
