Tribute to people who suck at life.

You know the type. These people are the "before" to any infomercial. People who never got a handle on real life skills like cracking an egg or not falling over a hose. I am sure there are simple solutions for people like this, all they have to do is spend $19.95.

Oldie But Goodie: Light Saber Fight

This by far is the coolest home made light saber fight. I found it a couple years ago, but it is still relevant on how cool it is today.

WRC - Saluk's Insane Jump

I know, I know... we should have been there to capture this moment.

Sign Language - Short Film

"There is so much community, so much life, most people don't see past the neon. I am here to point out less obvious things."

"There is so much beauty, so much opportunity under our noses. You shouldn't just ignore it."

So great.

The truth about old masters.

A couple of weeks ago, I was totally making fun of the new Samsung 3D TV. I kept saying, "Why the hell would you need a 3D TV?"

But then Viral Factory comes along and makes a commercial that shuts me up.



You win, 3D TV, you win.

AB shot Ok Go @ The Metro

Okay, you should know by now how much I love Ok Go. I posted a bunch of their coolest latest videos on this blog, I listen to them all the time. So on April 17th, 2010, Lizelle asked me to accompany her to shoot pictures of Ok Go for her write up for UR Chicago. Let me tell you this one thing, it was the best thing she could have ever gotten me on both of our mom's birthday. Yes indeed, both our mothers share a birthday on this day.


Let us patiently wait for the write up review by Lizelle D on URChicago Magazine!

Salamanca!

My friend Stephen's amazing jump over Salamanca, Spain!

Videographer chases after thief that steals his camera!

Photographers/Videographers go pretty great lengths to protect their camera gear. It is after all their life. This thief swims away, and only kinda barely gives up the gear at gun (spear) point by the end of the video, they are friends? Cool 2nd song.

Metal on Metal - Bastard

This is a sweet video of two girls playing ping pong with a grenade. This is the new death sport.

Zeus "Marching Through Your Head"

Zeus "Marching Through Your Head" from Alan Poon on Vimeo.

Remember back in the day when videos like Peter Gabriel "Sledgehammer" was playing nonstop on MTV? or even when MTV use to play music videos? Music video stop motion animation has come such a long way, we've been posting a lot of cool looking music videos lately. Much props to all the cool new technology that's made it a lot more accessible to the general public.

Also, please note that even though you can afford such gear, doesn't make you a director, photographer, cinematographer, etc. Either you have it, you went to school for it and got good, or you don't.

Pixles - Patrick Jean

What a video masterpiece! Check out how pixelated video games of the past destroys New York City. Poor Manhattan, everyone is always out to get you. King Kong, Clover Field, Armageddon, The Cold (Day After Tomorrow).

Amazing blue shipping container camera!

Everything about this is cool, except for the typography at the end. Sigh... What a way to ruin a good video.

Two Weeks - Grizzly Bear (Fan made video)

Two Weeks - Grizzly Bear from Gabe Askew on Vimeo.

Sometimes you find a video that trumps the offical music video of the band. After Effects, great cinematography a lot of planning went into this piece. Pretty darn awesome if you ask me. The song is sweet too. Check it out!

SOUR - Hibi no neiro, Coolest video on the internet.

If this was a total collaboration between all these people from different iChat/webcam footage, it must be the greatest collaboration video in the world. Holy cow, mad props for super creative music videos like this one.

Japanese people running awkardly in slow motion.

Okay, this is pretty funny. We found this video quite a bit ago, but it is worth the post here on AB. It's something you might expect to happen in front of our cameras some time in the future.
