I’m a huge fan of Skins(not the MTV crap, the E4-UK shit), I’ve been on it since season 1 started. It’s easily one of my favorite shows, and you know I’m incredibly stoked for season 5. This season starts with a new cast of rebellious teens. Check out Franky’s episode below and let me know what you think about the new season in the comment box!!
Last weekend I went to Pauly Shore’s(You know? An Extremely Goofy Movie) mansion for a wild party that was going down. I trekked out there with Michael and Sasha. It was Sasha’s last weekend in LA so I wanted to make sure that we hung out…
It was wild times.
It’s out! It’s finally out!!!
Coachella released their lineup! Actually, they released their lineup waaaay earlier than expected!!
I’m pretty stoked for peeps who are performing this year, because last year was BONKERS. Kanye, Arcade Fire, DFA1979, The Strokes, Laidback Luke, 12th Planet, Excision, Afrojack, Animal Collective, Ratatat, and The Aquabats are on my MUST SEE list(with some others). Now it’s time to save up some cash and wait ’til April…
Who are you guys excited to see? Let me know in the comment box!!!
No matter what kind of artist you are, you will always have work of yours that hasn’t been fully finished. That could be because you missed deadlines, lost inspiration, or you just got caught up with other work.
I’ve had a couple projects unfinished. They usually start off with full of inspiration and a clear picture but then because of something, it’ll slowly die.. die.. BURN!!
In early December I was put on a project for Snoop Dogg’s single “Wet”. I was pretty stoked to be on such an awesome project for the S-N-double-O-P himself. Matter of fact, I was so stoked, that I created something that couldn’t be fully made with the equipment that I had.
With all concepts approved and everything animated, I then had to render out multiple HD shots to stylize and edit. Unfortunately, to render out those clips, I would need a lot more power than expected. My graphics card on my 3 year old iMac and on my 1 year old Macbook Pro, just wasn’t powerful enough to output everything on time, which meant that I couldn’t deliver the product by it’s deadline :/…
This is the last bit of 2010 I’m going to be posting, then I’ll be letting go to the amazing year I had. Here’s the last of 2010 via my iPhone. Make sure to also check out the Mobile Flicks archive HERE.

Happy New Years to everyone!! I hope you guys had an exciting/safe jump into 2011! I had a pretty eventful New Years, I hug out with my two graphic designer buddies, Ruba & Marshall. Ruba got us in to the first party of the night because she spoke french to a french guy who invited us over randomly. After that party, we spent most of our night at a mansion party that MIAs dj was spinning at(super thanks to the Traphouse(Chippy, Britt, Zakmatic, and Rollz Royce) crew). Afterward, we attempted to go to a Mad Decent party that my buddies were throwing, but that wasn’t going to well. Overall, it was great times! Check out the pics below!
Wow… 2010 was a great year, I don’t really know where to start. I always get kinda nervous at the beginning of each year, because I never really know what to expect. Luckily, I went into 2010 with goals I wanted to accomplish. I knew I wanted to meet people, create cool shit, learn, and have amazing adventures. Throughout the year I was able to go down the list and check those goals off…
My first highlight of 2010 was doing work for MPSE(Motion Picture Sound Editors) awards for my 2nd time. I was the one who digitized and edited the nominees for the show. It was amazing, because I had people like Steven Spielberg(who’s awesome, btw!) watching my stuff!
It was a lot of work, but I had a grand time with it all.
I love doing work with new people. When my filmschool buddy, Tracy, contacted me to assist with Hell’s Angel’s main photographer, Bob Grigg, for a shoot. I was more than ready to get down with setting up his workflow and the scene.
Thanks Tracy and Bob!
This is me prepped and ready for an epic weekend at Coachella. At the time, I didn’t know what that weekend was going to bring me, but I did know that I had my hands full with tons of tasks.
Melissa(right) was kind enough to trek me out to Coachella that weekend. I was doing coverage for her company Zodiac USA.
Besides doing work for Zodiac USA at Coachella, I also was the one in charge of Jason Bentley’s visuals for his set in the Sahara tent. I had about 2 days to create multiple clips for his set. It was awesome seeing my work up on huge displays in front of tons of people.
Once Coachella was over, we still had a shoot to wrap in Palm Springs. We were all incredibly exhausted. I was filming and Rony was shooting. It was good/tiring times in scorching desert.
Right after Coachella, I was booked to film Fergie for her footwear line.
I was shooting at Milk Studios for the first time. The place was huge and I was definitely nervous to shoot Fergie-Ferg.
It was an incredible shoot, Fergie was a lot of fun to work with.
I received this image in a email from Jason not too long after Coachella. Believe or not, I may have kinda teared up a bit. Not only is it a great picture of my visuals, but this moment was also captured by LIFE, which is crazy!
It’s kinda funny how things worked in 2010. I was working with the film crew at EDC(Electric Daisy Festival)as the crew assistant. Once word went around that I’ve done camera work, I was immediately promoted to work as 1st AC on the crane at the main stage.
It was a lot of fun working EDC… And kinda a bit weird since I was actually working the event instead of attending it.
Jason Bentley invited me over to contribute clips at the Tron installation during Comic Con. I drove all the way out to SD just so I could get my stuff up there. It was so worth it… I mean.. It’s Tron.
Attending SIGGRAPH opened my eyes to my passion towards technology and CGI. I’m pretty sure I had a geekattack there.
Doing visuals with D Block and Tek at Nocturnal was incredibly fun. It was awesome working with those guys.
Nike –
I will definitely miss 2010, so many great memories that will never be forgotten. I’m incredibly grateful for all the opportunities that came my way. Being only 20 and being able to experience the stuff I have has been crazy! Super thanks to friends and family
The craziness has yet to come to a halt, tons of great stuff is coming in 2011. Thanks, if you been reading this blog since my highschool days(or even now!), a lot has changed since then, so stay tuned-in for much adventures to come. -Whoopi
