Bringing Toys to Life

I have always loved those little Hot Wheels cars. Mattel can recall all the Barbies they want, Hot Wheels is where it's at. I have long since now attempted at making a decent stop-motion race with them, but unfortunately they never exactly turn out how I want them to. Well, almost 2 years ago I finally made one and approved of it. So here, I share it with you today.

Building The New "God-Machine"

Over the past few years, I have done every video project, all graphics jobs, and most of my video games on my 5 year old Toshiba laptop. It's been faithful, enduring, and has never failed me before, but frankly it's time to move on. After 5 years of files clogging the system like Fat Albert's arteries, and boot-up times that remind you how long an ice age can last, it's time for a new one. This time, I'm going to build this myself, and make the ultimate video-editing/graphic-designing/video-gaming desktop. So today we completed step one: buying a case. My dad (who is a technological genius) and I found a MSI Ravager case. Besides the oddly aggressive name for a computer tower, it's a pretty sexy box.
Next month comes the important guts; motherboard, processor, graphics card, etc.

The Great Wiener Chase

I have loads of fun with the Go Pro. Mainly it's because the thought of being able to relive all of your adventures and thrills is pretty awesome. This time we strapped a hotdog on the back of an RC car and made our dog chase after it up and down the street. Poor Millie.

The Fruits of My Efforts

About an hour ago I saw one of the commercials that I helped make while I interned in Seattle with SuperFad. Each photo you see I edited to look like an Insta-gram photo. It's awesome to finally see it on TV!

The Incline: A Documentary

Here's a documentary I made a while back for my advance video class on the Manitou Springs Incline. This is something I felt deserved some more attention. Therefore, this is the result.

The Paper Escape

This was one of my first major stop-motion projects. The idea came mostly from a video game, except the monochromatic style was inverted. I used paper and cut out, positioned, and photographed every separate appendage. Now that took patience. I learned that thicker/heavier paper works better for this type of animation. That might've been how they kept South Park so tidy.
Enjoy.

37 Miles Per Hour

I found some old Go Pro footage of me on my bike hauling down the hill I live on. It's not the most impressive, but I'm certain I must have broken the speed limit on my way down.
