Upcoming Phlying and Adventures

Well it looks like Phlying Wayl is about to do an awful lot of Phlying in the next couple months. In just a couple of days I’ll be leaving for New York, New York for a week where I’ll get a huge dose of sightseeing, tons of museums and galleries, and a whole lot of Broadway. So many exciting things to see and do! And lots of photos to come. Then next month, on a more business-like...

After much blood, sweat, and tears, I’m excited to say that I think my short film is finally complete. It’s a 10 minute drama about the power of belief and the nature of reality, or as much as one can attempt to say about such things in 10 minutes anyway. Unfortunately I can’t show it to you yet as it’s being prepped for submission to some competitions and maybe a student...

Last week, I went to see Yanni live at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre here in Vancouver, which was absolutely amazing. If I could make films with half as much passion as there is in this man’s music, I’d make incredible films. The first thing he played was Santorini, seen in the video, which is one of my favourites, was so excited. Yanni is there on the left, dual wielding three-layer...

Helped out my pals to make this trailer for a #24hFilm competition for one of their classes. The requirements were that it was an “environmental horror B-Movie trailer” including the line “no-one wants to be responsible for the suffering of these people”, a magnifying glass as a prop and a scene in which there is dripping water. They went for a grindhouse style film with both action...

SFU Men's Centre?

So, there’s talk of building an SFU Men’s Centre? I guess it’s no surprise that there seems to be a lot of controversy surrounding the subject. Now, I understand that there’s discussion about the funding for this project, and the procedures that have or haven’t or should be gone through to set this up, and the mandate or lack thereof, but I honestly don’t know...

Hanging out at Party For The Planet, Down With Webster is rocking the stage! This less than stellar video taken with my BlackBerry is all I can post live, but some HD footage from my DSLR should be up later.

Singing “Into the West” from Return of the King with the SFU Choir exec team in a parkade (great acoustics). Apparently this is a weekly thing. (singing in the parkade in general, not Into the West…)

IAT 320 - Doing Research

We’ve been doing research about conveying emotions through colour and sound for our alien type creature project, and we’ve found some neat stuff. This article titled The Colors Of Emotion mentions a study done with college students where they identified green as a calm colour, red as a colour of excitement, and blue as a colour of sadness or solemness, which I would have expected. I...

Reminds me of the smart drum we saw in our Body Interfaces lecture. This keyboard was playing a funky beat to accompany my cousin’s playing, and it detected what cords he was playing and changed its key accordingly. Cool!

Woo hoo, my portfolio is up at last! There are probably still things that can go in there, and it could use some sprucing up, but it’s totally usable at the moment. I especially loved putting together this little AE demo ^ This footage is part of a short film project I did for class that just isn’t up to my expectations yet, so I’m planning to go back and edit it some more, but...

IAT 320 Ramblings

Ah ha, not going to miss this week’s blog post by doing it in class live! May or may not be a good idea. Allison hit it on the head for what I was thinking about computers and empathy. If you can personify something (which I do all the time…) then sure you can empathize with it, I think, even though the imagined emotions you’re empathizing with may not exist. When I’m...
