Had to see what difference the accurate proportions would be ... turns out a lot.
Just found this perfect little clip from 2009, on tour with @disasteradio.bsky.social in USA. Blink had just driven us all night from Baltimore, after Luke played a show there ... and this was us arriving on the outskirts of NYC at dawn. π
Forgot to post the super nerdy promo for @amamelia.bsky.social 's Floating Opera music vid last year. We did so much fun research for the vid on @audioculturenz.bsky.social , thanks so much for the eternally excellent site β€οΈ Catch the full vid here www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgaK...
Most of the things I make with Jess Johnson could be called music videos but this is the first actual, for real, music video we've made together.
It's for Moritz Simon Geist's dreamy new single, from his upcoming album that Jess provided the cover art for. β±οΈ

The incredible animated vid by @simonmward.bsky.social stars an adventuresome (and hairy) touring trio, made with support from NZ On Air π΅
I love it for speed and clean renders, with less priority on accuracy of lighting / reflection. I'm trying to make lengthy animations, as quick as possible vs stills ... looking for a stylised clean look vs realism. Been having troub with noise & flickery highlights with the new system :)
I would also find this extremely interesting π

Was reminded of this tour promo for 2012 GoldenAxe / Amdiscs today. Why did the internet seem much more enjoyable then??

Having nostalgic feelings of [JC spoken word voice] "that time we drove up from Hastings at night time on a monday night, to go to a big concert on the North Shore. You were there too, as well as some other people, but a lot of people didnt bother to show up, cause it was a monday night"
u can try it for yourself at home here ... the bit about inserting the toner was particularly good i reckon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVvr...
Accidental dual play of ambient music radio show & Office Photocopier Basic Training Youtube Video was surprisingly good ... took me ages to realise it wasnt all the radio show
In celebratory news, the local gig guide my buddies & I make each week reached 10k followers on ig this weekend. It's approaching 5yrs of doing this every week & I'm quite pleased ppl find it useful
Saving this here so I remember how chaotic my brain has been this year. Hoping to pull it together for 2025 pt2
Blows my mind that there's now a book written about my friend's work. Very much looking forward to celebrating & seeing a rare performance tomorrow at Flying Nun Cuba St. Congrats @disasteradio.bsky.social & @jingajik.bsky.social
