WHAT IS IT?

IT'S A CROCODILE!!!

hahaha.

I like that the crocodile just brushed its teeth.

Ding! ,~"

edit: the crocodile i tried to make above didn't work.
comma tilda quote less than asterisk

Ding. Try it.

hahah bling blingy!


I am gonna try it right now


okay yeah that just screwed up all the text i wrote after it

but yeah it worked! haha it does look like it .

Also the "It's a crocodile!" is from

youtube.com/watch?v=LU8DDYz68kM


Go to 3:35

haha i think she actually says "there's a crocodile!" but its still funny.

That's a crazy video.

That clip is amazing! The baby surviving the tug o'war and everything!

Yeah the first time I saw it i was like WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON ...it kept getting better and better and better. Those silly lions they totally had it coming!

*POP!*

hee hee

thanks Martin!

agreed, amazing shot

Haha Thanks Capucha and Mitch! Oh man..so let me tell you this...my friend Joe came with me and I tried to have him blow bubbles into the grass and it just would not work, and I tried to do it too...the grass and the wind wasn't having any of that. But I was determined. I have a "Bubblesaur!" It's this dinosaur thing (no surprise) that blows bubbles. I used him when I got home with minutes to spare before the sun disappeared behind the hills. (Such a nice time to film but you only have a short window of time to do it that lasts around 30 minutes). Actually let me find a link to it hold on...

That little guy makes bubbles better than I can.

:-)


I think in that shot.. the 1:40 you can see our reflections in it.

oh hey look at those weirdos hunched over the grass trying to film bubbles. hahah.

Thanks friends love you <3

Thanks Sam! *tappity tap tap!*

hee hee

I think I like filmming my shoes because I have so many of them. So far on vimeo I've filmed the owls, partridge, and now these green ones...I still have ice creams, unicorns and rainbows, cherries, skulls, guns, etc...haha

Take care!

Definitely. These birds are just a fantastic idea.

Yep - the birds made me say to myself, "Karen is so creative".

Hahha chirp chirp!

Well Nina, Rems, and Eric....I tried to film birds (there were so many gulls and geese) but they kept flying in the opposite direction, or I kept missing the opportunity to film them when the pesky kids would run at them and make them fly, so I got frustrated and said "screw it" I'll just make my own birds, they'll go where I want them to, WHEN i want them to. hahaha


chirp chirp chirp BEEP!

that's the sound my birds make.

:-)

Ditto to what Chuck said.

Right there with ya C.

Oh well lookee lookee my fave three all in the same comment space. Thanks boys. I love you guys :-)

Hee hee thanks Mr. Anderson.

The crocodile...i wanted to have him walk into the water..but he kept getting stuck in the mud.

There's so much audio of me saying, "ugh fuck he's stuck AGAIN! Quick, get him out before he goes under the mud." Little bastard.

haha

Yeay for homework breaks! :-)

haha! I like how i spend about half an hour to an hour shooting but like 4 hours doing color correction. It's to make up for the less than mediocre footage that I shoot.

This place is really pleasant...well it's actually more gross and trashy than it was 5 years ago when I used to frequent it. Haha. I was talking to my friend that lives in this town and she said something like, how is it that you're able to make that shithole look nice? haha.

Candy colors!

nom nom nom
CHOMP!

Toodles mitch!

thanks bucks <3<3<3! Hope you have a great week my dear friend!

I actually used to do all my color correction in Avid. Only until recently did I start using FCP. No fancy tricks just eyeballing for a couple hours on the built in color corrector. no magic bullet plugins or any of that. For more serious projects for school, I use Color, but I don't find that necessary for these silly little videos that I shoot arbitrarily.

But it makes a HUGE difference.

I spend little time shooting, but I spend hours color correcting :-)

Thanks Dr. Millett! :-)

pop pop

i love the rainbow colors!

Thanks a lot paul :-) it was frustrating to edit. haha but turned out alright

Come to CA and I'll show you how crappy it actually is. hahaha.. Just kidding.

hee hee thanks jon.

Oh chris. :-)

They were staring at you. until they popped.because then they died.

Let's eat colors

nom nom nom!

I either make them up, or I get them from song titles or books. (I see no harm in that since these are just dinky little for fun videos)

This one is the title of an Explosions in the Sky Song
No One Belongs Here More Than you is a book by Miranda July
Love Letter Typewriter is a title of a song by Mineral


I think those are the only taken titles, the others I just make up.

Thanks a lot Ayz :-)

Gotcha. The title of your tumblr you made up? I love that one.

It is a song by a band called the Notwist

called "one step inside doesn't mean you understand" the lyrics that follow that are the...one step inside doesn't mean i'm yours.

i love that song check it out! actually its on my clouds video somewhere on here

will do. :)

Thank you Byron, that's awfully kind of you.

well you are a gem treat heart throb cutie heather :-)

I know that dumb harlot wouldn't get out of the shot.

hee hee

Thanks Blake, just to let you know, I ate that sun. It's now gone...and in my stomach. The one that you see out there, it's a fake sun.

Thanks Tom :-)

Aww thanks Smoogal, That is very considerate of you to say. Thank you so much! Have a great day!

Thanks Spence, that really means a lot coming from you because I love your work.

You never stop either. You give me something to look forward to. :-)

Thanks a lot gerardo! I hope you are doing well

haha! I could've sworn i saw some fairies there. and unicorns.


:-)

Thanks Dwyzak!!! :-)

Oh Javier, thank you so much. Such a wonderful compliment from you. I thank you so very very much.

:-)

Thank you very much Linda. :-) You make beautiful videos as well!

Well thank you Ryan, that is very kind of you to say. It really does mean a lot. I showed it to my friend and I think he enjoyed it too, or at least I hope he did. You can find more of his stuff at virb.com/benandbruno :-)

cheers!

Magical Portal that I jumped in and got spat back out.


hee hee

Thanks Bill!

Thank you so much :-) I think that everything I do is pretty simple, mostly because i just walk outside and shoot random things for an hour or so, no plan, just really arbitrary footage.


I love bubbles so much. Mostly their rainbow colors.

Hee hee covered in bubbly love. pop pop!

Thanks so much Mutcluck!

The only thing lacking now is your Voice over narration...to bump it up.

:-)

Thanks alex beep beep koo koo kachoo..haha

eh you!

hey spring break is next week...maybe you're free? I should come visit.

I thought that said "eff you" ... ahhhh... hahah ...
Ohhhhh yeahhhh spring break! Let's do something tremendous! I'm thinking... slumber party! and the hills! adventure! :) or, maybe you just want to unwind and relax, in which case I'll tone it down... but certainly... play date!!

If you export anything that is over 800pixels wide, Vimeo registers it as "HD". So what I do is when I film projects, I bring them into a 720p HD Sequence, resize, color correct to adjust for pixelation...so it is given the "HD treatment."

"Fake HD" is hot. What do you use to edit? Message me, we'll figure it out!

Haha that's very kind /thoughtful of you to say :-) Thank you

Thank sir. I really like how somewhat disgusted at something you look in your avatar.

haha


You are a very cool person.

Aww Thanks Xnografikz....

If it's any consolation to you, your editing is hard for me to accomplish. You are so talented it is unreal!

Have a great day!

grass is my favorite thing to shoot...ever. really it is.

So much grass in my other videos as well!

Oh Jacob, that was very very kind of you to say. Thank you kindly :-) I hope you have a wonderful day today in wonderland wherever your imagination may whisp you away to!


P.S> Thank you about the colour comment.

I love colour so much. I'm doing a B/W 16mm film right now and it hurts to do it.

haha

I was thinking this morning that what struck me the most was your ability to capture the truly precious and beautiful moments that are hidden under the hussle and bussle of daily life. You have an excellent eye for the sacred. And how the heck do you get those colors anyway?

Aww thanks Jacob..Yeah my life is so busy so doing these little exercises is really therapeutic for me to do, and to watch. The colors are from hours and hours of sitting in front of the computer color correcting.

:-)

Aww thanks MACAFRAMA


I love watching your films because I see those all the time when i go to school in SF.

Plus guys on road/track bikes are exponentially hotter than lots of other guys.


haha

Aspect ratio...Final Cut Pro.
Camera. DVX100A and GS320 depending on where I am. I just make them match in post.


Beep beep beep have a good one!

Haha. Agreed. Everything I've posted lately is stuff I shoot for about half an hour to an hour during homework breaks. I'm entirely too busy with grad school to produce anything of more substance. haha. Soon enough.


One day I'll be like Michael Bay and I'll send you some explosions and robots and stuff. hahaha.


Lately I've been into this therapeutic grass sky stuff. I'm saving the explosions for my 16mm films.


haha

Thanks Paul. I'll see what I can do.

The visual of "ice bursting" in my head looks amazing.

You are fantastic Mariya.
