It’s late… 3am

It’s 3am and I have a killer migraine. I’m currently editing a promo for Zodiac USA/Dillards.com… Can’t fully focus on editing so I’m dabbing between  making visuals on my desktop and doing some final color correcting on my laptop…

5022522000_bde7022b9e_o The edit is coming along well, I made this 3D title for the video a while back. I haven’t really gotten the chance to animate it and render it out… I don’t think I will, I’ll probably save it for the next Zodiac USA project we do.

diner Here’s a screengrab of Melissa from the edit.

screen-shot-2010-09-29-at-2-56-16-am-2 Here’s another screen grab of a visual I’m working on. I’m planning on releasing a visual mixtape(soonish), but I just need a DJ to smash some tracks together for me. If you think you’ll be down for the challenge, feel free to email me some of your work at whoopi@whoopthis.com

Yeaaah… My head still hurts, I’m going to edit more now. Bye!

Nocturnal 9/25/10

My Saturday took place waaaay south from LA… San Bernadino south. I was invited over to help out with visuals at Nocturnal Festival, a huge rave that consist of every genre of music(DnB, Dubstep, Electro, House, trance.. etc.) with tons of amazing artists. This is my second time working a rave(on the production side), my first being EDC. Working Nocturnal was just as crazy, but definitely way safer…

img_6446 VJ Tek(Brien) of Rabbit in the Moon invited me over to VJ with him and DBlock(Dan) at the Queen’s Ground stage. I actually met both Tek and Dblock at Coachella. Tek was the one who helped me layout the clips I created for Jason Bentely’s set in the Sahara tent.

img_6674 Rabbit in the Moon performed an amazing set. It’s really hard to explain… but I would say it’s something mixed with the production of The Lion King(the musical) + heavy bass warped with the underground culture. To get a better idea, feel free to check out the vids on Youtube.

img_6470 Nocturnal was definitely a blast. Crazy how I jumped from being an audience member last year to being on stage this year. Super thanks to Tek and Dblock.

Tropic thuuuundeeeeeeer

I think it’s crazy what a lot of my high school buddies are up to these days. Some are still in school, but the others are out on their grind and having a blast! My two friends from back in the HS-days, Amika and Austin, also known as Tropic Thunder“, have been hustling on their music like craaazy!

Oops

So I recently ACCIDENTALLY purchased a Vimeo Plus account. I’m not super bummed about it, because now I feel like I’m forced to make stuff and throw it on to my Vimeo account. Yesterday I started playing around with stuff and I made this…

What am i doing?

Lately, I’ve been making sure to stay as busy as possible. Besides from my normal job at Apple, I always try to stay productive(creatively) by working commercial shoots, doing freelance work, and building up my portfolio so I can better my chances of going to Calarts next Fall. I’m stoked to say that I’m successfully staying busy/productive and I’m loving every bit of it.

My buddies Danny and John(12th Planet) invited me out to The Well for John’s music video shoot for his song Reasons(Doctor P Remix). It was all fun and very tiring, being in a dubstep music video is a WORKOUT!!!!!
