The US Campaign for Burma is still kicking with daily videos showcasing Burma’s fight against its military junta.
The above video is a collaborative effort. Isaiah Seret wrote and directed the video. Our nomadic homie Alexander Kori Girard created the drawings and hand-drawn type. I put all the pieces together, added the type cards and laced it all with a bright shiny ribbon. Jesse Klein edited it. and that’s Beirut on the track with “The Penalty”.
Again, do yourself a favor and watch it in high quality, under the lower right hand side of the video.
More on Aung San Suu Kyi (pronounced kinda like “on son sue chee”).
Just in case you didn’t know where I stand, check out this wickedly good music video Yes, We Can. featuring Will.I.Am, John Legend, Common, Scarlet Johansson, Kareem Abdul Jabar and a bunch of other people who I recognize but lack names for. Here’s the original speech from new hampshire, which admittedly, I hadn’t seen til just now. Go Obama! This time must be different. We want change.
I grabbed this video at Bucerias Days ‘08. A young girl doing a dance routine to the soundtrack of the tattooine cantina bar scene from Star Wars: A New Hope. total classic! When the music came on, it was a clash of cultures, very surreal.
Live, super grainy, shaky, bad audio, unedited concert footage taken on a little Canon point-n-shoot, from The Whitest Boy Alive playing “Don’t Give Up” at F.Bolke (bar / art gallery / concert venue) in Guadalajara on Nov.10th, 2007. back story here.
My good buddy Christian shot this little video on his Pentax Option WP, on recent surf trips to Bali & Lombok, Indonesia and Fuerte, Spain. The street art is by his homie Uwe and the picture-perfect soundtrack is a song called Young Folks by Peter Bjorn and John.
So Saturday night I gathered the troops to wake up early Sunday morning for another sunrise log rolling session. Christian, Andrew and I all dutifully woke up before dawn to catch the small little waves, even smaller then Saturday’s. None-the-less, we had a ton of fun and used what we had learned the day before to improve on our movie-making skills. Here’s Sunday’s movie:
Induced by recent viewings of surf videos with odes to longboards, I got up at 6:30am and accompanied my buddy, Christian, to slide the morning away. We trucked it out to Burros and caught the sunrise. There was absolutely no swell and tiny little waves, but that’s why sliding is so much fun, you don’t need big waves. I brought along the Pentax Optio WP camera, the little underwater jobbie. We played with the video setting and this is the result:
