So get this, I learned the other day that all headphones have a microphone inside. The left ear is also a microphone. Test it out, plug your headphones into the mic jack and record while yelling into the left ear. The right ear doesn't do anything, but the left does. It doesn't work all that great, but it still works. Interesting ain't it. Now someone tell me why that is.
Watch in full quality HERE This is a 60 second film I made for my Basic Design Class. We had to create a short film around our running theme for the quarter, mine was comedy. I would like to thank my actors Justin and Mike, I know the shoot ran late and was not very organized but you stuck with me, thanks. I would also like to give a big shout out to Kelli our lovely audio/light tech, thanks for hanging out on such short notice.
This is a sound project I made for my Time-Based Art class. I took the original video here and and remade the sounds and soundtrack to make it dark and eerie. The video pays homage to the beautifully done music video Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy.
I just learned that Tuba Man (Edward McMichael) from Seattle died the other day. It said that he died days after being kicked in the face by a group of teens. If you did not know Tuba man, he was known for hanging outside Quest and Safeco field jamming out on his tuba. Above is a video that I had on my phone of Tuba Man playing "My Sharona" outside of a Foo Fighters concert at the Key Arena. I wish it was a better demonstration of his talents, but this is all I have. He was a good man. I have lost faith in this world knowing that there are people that can do such a horrible thing to such a giving person. He didn't do anything wrong, just gave the beautiful gift of song. RIP your presence will always be remembered in my mind. HERE is the story in Seattle Times
Wow TV has gone down the shitter, and here is my top 5 examples of humans DeEvolving via Television shows.
5. Time Warp/Destroyed in Seconds/ Smash Lab (Discovery channel) - I don't know how Discovery channel has done this, but they have seemed to find a loop hole by taking the same concept and making 3 shows out of it. You literally shut your brain off and stare at the tv mubling "oh that was cool....wow did you see that thing blow up....whoa look at that thing blow up... jeez that thing sure did blow up.... wheres my dad-gum cheetos". I just want to say, wtf Discovery, I use to hate you because you made me smatter, now I just hate you. 4. Hole in the wall (FOX) - This show was based of the Japanese tv show Human Tetris which became popular by youtube. Its hard to explain without seeing it, but basically a wall with funny shapes cut out of it moves towards a person(s) and they have to make it through the cutouts or they will be pushed into water (or if I was the producer the water would be replaced with dirty siringes, like in saw 2, ausome!) So not only did Fox rip off another tv show, they ripped of a completly fucking retarded ass tv show, from japan, what kind of BS is that Amurhica! 3. Human wreaking ball (G4) - This show features two meatheads breakin shit, need I say more? 2. Wipeout (ABC) - This show features people getting breaked by shit. People try to run through obstacle courses in the fastest times. Just a bunch of adverage joes getting clobbered over and over, one after another. It takes less than the average attention span before you watch Kathy form Hawaii torque her back in ways you never thought possible. AND FINALLY! 1. Anything on CMT other than the music - This is the mother load of fu@king dumb shit on television. Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling, Country Fried Planet, Trick My Trucker, I Want to Look Like a High School Cheerleader Again, My Big Redneck Wedding, Redneck Dreams, AND THE LIST GOES ON! I am not making this up people. Hey CMT, stick to the music cuz aint nobuddy want to watch what a redneck does on his spare time.
Its sad to say, but its not going to be long till TV is like this
This clip is taken from the movie Idiocracy, which was written and directed by Mike Judge (who also made King of the Hill and Office Space). The movie was ok but worth the watch just because it has a great depiction of how humans have deevolved in the future. Its like the H.G. Well's Time machine of today.
And that is it. Hope you liked my list, and may god help us all... find our remotes.
Its funny, I was walking to the campus store to pick up a color wheel to further my knowledge of color theory and look what I spotted. Complimentary Campus Colors at their best. Yellow, Blue, and Corona Light
Design is the first signal of human intention - William McDonough
There is no design without discipline. There is no discipline without intelligence. - Massimo Vignelli
Create your own visual style… let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others. - Orson Welles
Computers are to design as microwaves are to cooking. - Milton Glaser
People think that design is styling. Design is not style. It’s not about giving shape to the shell and not giving a damn about the guts. Good design is a renaissance attitude that combines technology, cognitive science, human need, and beauty to produce something that the world didn’t know it was missing. - Paola Antonelli
