Videos Online


Google hosts videos for free! I've uploaded and condensed 3 videos I made a few years ago in Chicago for streaming. Obsubtivity I did senior year in school. Theres a voiceover with me rambling on randomness, but to cut to the chase the project was really about how places hold memories for people. My old roomate Justin Lee helped me shoot the scenes where I am walking around, and I did all the video/sound work.
Dislocation I made my 3rd year in Chi, and its really about channel surfing and how ones train of thought is derailed so often while watching television. In a way its also like a Ben Russell Mixtape-The Video.....
1860 Miles was a short I did 3rd year where I took my first westward roadtrip. It's very short and simple but I got to play with a couple parts with compositing (like the driving photo here....)

This was all unexpectedly made available thru Google, as I already mentioned. If you're interested in having Google host your videos do a search on google for video hosting and the link will be the first to pop up.

hopefully this whole google thing takes off and they start offering places to park your car in downtown cores for free. That would be awsome. free email accounts, free video hosting, and free parking.

Soon google will have an inventory of everything you own so you can google ur sneakers hidden under the bed, and other lost things- but not 'lost souls', because, well, we just have come too far to go back for them now.....
