I feel like that more videos I make, the more ridiculous and ridiculous the titles are getting.

To be quite honest, watching this makes me want to ride my bike right now, other than the fact that I have a 25 pg paper due in a couple hours and it's like 11PM right now. Hhaa.


Do it.

GO GET YOUR BIKE!

What kind of bike do you have?

I love this song. It is "Pogo" by Digitalism
Sooooo fun.

Gets me pumped about life.


My bike's name is Holden Caufield.

He will be replaced eventually by a Bianchi Pista, but until then, he will serve me just fine as I cruise around town and take photographs.

:-)

Thanks a lot!

I love your avatar.

mines just a regular mountain bike.

i love naming my inanimate objects! my laptops name is jude law. but then it changed to sasha. my ipod is igor. and sometimes i name my clothes.

i have a plant called mathias. i need to start thinking of last names though, yours is so original!

i name my unborns as well. i want to make a movie where someone collects all the names in the world. that would be cool.

re my avatar: thank you! i drew him myself. it is, funnily enough, -the- vincent grey.

25 pg paper? i can't wait until i have to start doing those! no really! i really can't! oh man! i'm just! oh man! so jealous!

it'll be on sarcasm.

ps. i once had a jumper called umberto thidwick and i was heaps proud of that name.

haha.

I'm on page 13 or so of my paper...I haven't moved very far in the last 2 hours.

i name EVERYTHING.

i had a pet cilantro named cecil...and the named carried over to my robot (seen in my videos) when the cilantro died. My digital camera's name is peanut butter, and my large telephoto lens is Jelly. My video camera's name is Hunter. My synthesizers have names too, one is Osiris. the other is Josiah.

Then there the wacom tablets...Clarence, Claudine.

My car's name is Logan.


you get the idea..

I name everything.


Matias is a great name.

Few of my belongings have first and last names...but the ones that do are special. Holden Caufield..i like how it sounded...independent from Catcher in the Rye...but people always say...oh like the book? Yeah I suppose so, but I named it not after him per say, but just how it sounded.

haha.

Very nice drawing.

Look at talented little you :-)


cool videos AND drawings.


HAHAHAH

UMBERTO THIDWICK?!?!!?

that's perfect.

now back to paperwritingsville for me...

mmmm cilantro.

that's a photograph of my late pet Cecil.

Aww thanks so much chipi! peep peep!

Aww Merci Benoit <3

Thanks DF...I pretty much love you guys loads.

I owe you a message from like 10 days ago.

Don't worry it will come.

The uploading took like 5 hours..it was unreal. My internet sucks.


It is "Pogo" by Digitalism


It's so awesome gets me so pumped!

Should've been "I'm supposed to be writing a paper but I'm wasting precious time editing this stupid video that should've been done months and months ago but I like to wait for the opportune moment to edit when I clearly dont have time for it."


hahhaha

There's a little bit more leniency with grad school. I dicked around all of college...turns out I still dick around now.


Bleh


Dave! What color/type of bike is Dave?

Dave is a blue mountain bike. At the moment he has a plastic carrier bag tied over his saddle to keep my bum dry. He's old but still a total hedonist.

haahah! you're so funny bill. Tell Dave I said hello!

haha it's okay matthew, I still love ya....but only this time. You're safe for now. But next time.....You should still post yours, it'd be a shame to let your photographs go to waste. I'm sure they are amazing cause you pretty much are as well.


Hahaha.


This video is dedicated to the Memory of sanddunesandsea.

hahaha

I hope joblookings are going well!!! :-) Ciao friend

Awww what kind/color is it? Let's all go on a massive bike ride!

It´s an old rusty purple mountain bike with 18 speeds.

check it out: vimeo.com/847250

aww i love it!

Haha I wish. Or I wish I could turn in the video I'm currently uploading...haha


Let's cross our fingers for an A. Although I don't think I deserve an A. It's pretty mediocre. Also If this is my midterm paper, I'm terrified to find out what the final paper is....


50 pages?

haha

And make another one for construction paper animation. I will send you my camera.

Whatever you keep me up everynight.

You harlot.

I love your colours too....

I'll make a how to video on how to love you less...because that's what i'm doing right now if you don't stop being so testy.


HAHA.

And I like your tag, Thank you for watching my video.

My bike is real nice, I've got an old sky-blue one, a classic, I'm always called 'prince on the blue bike'. Unfortunately I don't have a name for it - I call it 'Kronan' as his brand is. But I should start thinking of a name for it, it's such a nice thing :)
*Unfortunately my bike just broke down.. something internal broke off and iI'm not sure if it can recover... :(

"Prince on the Blue Bike" is AWESOME! Haha maybe i should call you that from now on huh prince.



Uh oh...Is Kronan in the hospital or making his way up to the bike rack in the sky?

I hope he gets well soon! Then you guys can go on adventures!

It's in the hospital right now, I hope it'll make it and won't go to bike heaven...
Now I'm riding my mom's bike, but that's a real stupid one, I hate to ride on that one..

I got my Kronan for my 15th birthday, gosh I was happy! Then I got a thing which I can put in front of it, so I can carry stuff around.
Then, on a bad day my Kronan was stolen... In the beginning I didn't really thought about it, but I began to miss it more and more...
I got everyone on school to look out for my bike... In the hope somebody would find it.
Then, on a good day, I drove trough my neighbourhood and there I saw a blue bike, just like mine! I got closer and closer, and realized it was my Kronan! Quickly called my dad, he brought the key... and it fitted! So I could happily bike back on my Kronan!
Unfortunately Kronan was tortured very badly.. My number plate was kicked off (Now I've got a new one, but nothing to attach it on, so still no number plate), my horn was torn off (it was a real nice one, now I've got one which looks the same, but the sound is real horrible, I will always miss the sound from the old horn).
I hope it will get trough this bad unhealthy time...

*Gosh, this is a long story, sorry to use up your time if you red this*

Wait - I can send you a picture, I can imagine you're dying to see Kronan ;)

I am dying to see him. Oh man I started a group on facebook called "I love my bike more than you love your car" and people write stories about their bikes on there. I love hearing bike stories.

I'm so glad that you found him...you are lucky to. Kronan is lucky as well!

Whoooo!
I just finished repairing Kronan! oh, I can see him being happy in the sun, all cleaned up and ready to get me to school tomorrow.
I'll send you a picture, and I'm bizzy making a nice lil' vid about Kronan :)

KRONAN!!!!! Yeay!!!! Make sure you lock him up good so no one tries to mess with him! Can't wait to see him!

ROAR~!

That was my dino roar for you.

Yeah I'm trying to be as resourceful as I can. It doesn't help that I've been shooting lots of 16mm lately and I'm prepping for my final for my cinematography course. But I shall return with a children's story for you.

Actually I may just stop motion that.


Yeay I'd love to see your bike vid.. make sure you "share" it to me so I don't lose it in my inbox.


!! have a great day!

Aww thanks Sara.

I seriously film/take photographs of my shoes ALL the time. I have over a dozen of these little flats with different things on them..guns, ice creams, rainbows and unicorns, birds, etc..haha

need to find some dino ones!

haha i'm going to have to address your mustache rides and your balls.

hope you have a lot of postage!

wait what?

Sick wob
sick.
Mr. lovelorn.


haha
just kidding
VBs

Aww thanks Bucks <3! I hope this music gets you as pumped about life as it gets me!

Aww thanks a lot Beard Whitman. Yeah I just flashed you a message. Beep boop have a great day!

Aww thanks Mariya, you are very kind. I really enjoy your films as well they are extremely powerful and beautiful.


I'm such a child. Maybe one day I won't be so childlike. haha

It is better to remain the sincere ingenious child, than the worthless and false adult

Oh what's sup schwinn bike gang! Yours sounds sooo cool. Does it have a name? Got pics?

Man so cool.... so cool!!!

check out my profile for the latest and greatest profile picture and a glimpse at the chicago made beauty.

Oh my gosh john it's so beautiful! I love it!

Aww why thank you Debora! Have a beautiful day!

I'll beat them up...who took it...Go to Sacramento and steal one from some choady hipster kid.

haha.

I almost fell into the creek a couple times because I wasn't paying attention and I was just looking through the viewfinder. haha.

I'm pretty silly.

yeah Soooooo much clicking..but SOOOO much space on my computer and more difficult to edit than I had originally anticipated.

Music is "pogo" by digitalism.


awww no name bike. you should think of a name for when you do get one.

I'm already brainstorming bike names for my future Bianchi Pista.

How do you think of these names? I love 'em!
And how did you edit this? frame by frame?

Hi Karen, how about "Fausto"? In honour of the great Coppi who won so many marvellous races on Bianchi bikes, who loved "la Dama Bianca" and whose name means "good fortune"... Hope you get that Pista soon :-)

Oh man I hope I get my Pista soon as well. I've always gotten soo close. I found the perfect one...perfect price...size...etc. I was so excited about it I told my friend (a guy who I had liked at the time) about it...and he went and bought it from underneath me.


Sad Days.

Now my finances are devoted to paying for grad school so no pista for a while.


But one day..it'll happen..it has to.



And Jip I brought the thousands of pictures into imovie (for some reason it looked better there than on FCP). i exported it as a high quality MOV then i brought it into FCP and edited it to audio.

It was pretty tedious and obnoxious.

As far as color correction, i did it frame by frame...it took a couple days to color correct close to three thousand photographs....i didnt even end up using them all.

What?! Frame by frame colour editing?! That takes a lot of patience...

All you gotta do is listen to some good tunes, and you get lost in time when you're just focused in on your images. I should quit shooting/editing and just focus on color correction for the rest of my life. I really enjoy it.

bahahha; that is soo me as well wow. I cant belive it. I thought I was such a dork. all my friends want me to go to a party right now but I dont want to I want to make a video. I need to create and as far as my bike I have had like 12 bikes in my life and non of them had ever had a name infact I have never even thought of naming my bike that is cool I want a name. I think I will make a video about my bike and send it. in the mean time I will upload some lighting tests I shoot about my bike lol

psh who needs parties when you have editing. hahaha..

Mmmmmm bike rides are divine! haha i name everything..from my bike to my car to my keyboards.

:-)

Aww Billy thanks, you are too kind...really.

My shoes think are awesome as well!

have a beautiful week and a happy april fools!

Oh no! What happened? I hope you are okay!

*Big hugs* for you my far away friend.

Yea! All is fine now! I'll go to China tomorrow! :)

What?!?!? are you shooting something there? or just visiting!

Take me with you!

Aw Jon, thank you so much for your kind words.


It's a really fun song..and was a fun bike ride. I need to ride more often. Lately I've been riding at night so it's been hard to take photographs of. Take care!

haha you're the best Ayz

oh my god

i want some cake right now

love at first bite with cake

NOW

in my mouth

This is kind of hilarious to me. And I posted it on my tumblr. haha karenabad.tumblr.com


It's okay it doesn't make you sound neither gay or fetishistic . haha


You're a good peoples Alex.

okay, but I AM a little fetishistic.... I think all painters and photographers are, or they'd be accountants

HAHA.


I have a dinosaur fetish?

Okay I don't....the idea of that kinda grosses me out.
I threw up a little in my mouth and then swallowed it.

I think they are cute though.
Hhaha.

Lord have mercy on us, wouldn't want to be an accountant...i'd have to jump into a manatee.

haha huh?

I'm a feisty fighter! They better beware!

Aww thanks a lot :-) have a great day!

This is not as much video as it is photomotion. Your criticism isn't harsh, and to be quite honest, I like it.

the song is pogo by digitalism.

This photomotion is completely dependent on the music. But that was also the intent from the beginning. This was supposed to be a collaboration with a friend. The idea was to go on a bike ride and just document it in photographs. No plot or story or narrative. Not a video, but photomotion. That didn't end up happening because of both of us being busy so I just ended up putting mine together. Since there's no real story I just kinda put them all together and used music to help the images. The difference between this and video is that I could take any single image of this and have it stand on its own as a photograph. (i am not sure if that makes sense.)

I get a lot of criticism (which I like) for my more serious work. 85% of the things on my vimeo are exercises that I do for fun. They are all spontaneous and don't require too much thought into them.

I am young..well not really but kind of, not really attractive...and I think my gender has no bearing on the criticism I receive. Or at least, I wouldn't like it to. Which is fantastic. I definitely get my work ripped apart, but that only helps me get better. The criticism doesn't come too much on these little videos cause they are all light hearted and for fun.


Usually for me, and many others...when i put something up that i want harsh criticism on, I will send a personal message to people who i feel would be good at giving constructive criticism to it and we work together on figuring out what worked, what didn't work. Vimeo to me is more based on the community aspect rather than that video ...that's just me personally.

I really enjoy your comments. Thank you so much :-)

Im a middle aged unattractive man. You got me.

I have no age. or gender.

I'm a dinosaur.

I don't exist as a human. nothing to see here, kindly move along.

I feel insulted at the 'sycophant' bit. None of my business. Agreed.

Oh hey Bill...don't worry I don't think that's true at all.

(just to clarify, I had missed this earlier on in the initial comment...I even had to look up the definition, that's how stupid I am)

But yeah, not true...at all...ever. i would never ever think that i am better than anyone.

That really is not what I meant. I was referring to the original post that states some kind of objection to middle aged men, and of course the sychophant bit.
