Ok Go Follow-up

Remember my Video of the Week two weeks ago. It's just a couple of posts below. Click here to see the video.


Here is the making of that video.



This was just as entertaining and funny as the video. The director is Tim Nackashi and his inspiration was American painter/ photographer Thomas Eakins.

Ok Go's new album will be released next month.

Video of the Week: Blu

Sorry for no other posts from this week. I went to see old friends in WV.




MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.


This is an amazing video I found awhile back ago. The animated short was made on public walls in Buenos Aires and Baden. I never thought of animation on live streets using life-size paintings/ graffiti. This is amazing for the vision, dedication and determination for making such as daunting and tedious as this beautiful video.

Video of the Week: OK GO

You know these guys for making unusual youtube music videos. Here is the newest video, "WTF."


OK Go - WTF? from OK Go on Vimeo.


Like their other videos, OK GO take a simple theme and concept and push it extraordinarily. In this case, the trail effect; which is usually a cheesy setting in your video camera or computer editing software made famous in the Matrix movies. This video has put clever uses of the trail effect, such as, the changing background color. Overall, a really cool and fun video.

Thanksgiving

The feast: Turkey (sorry vegetarian friends), mashed potatoes, carrot soufflé, cranberry sauce, green beans, stuffing, rice, spicy cucumber, dinner rolls and a nice nutty salad. That is a knife slicing into the frame.


Most of the photos of thanksgiving was different family members holding Opie.

It was great and filling. Many thanks to my family.

Artist of the Month: November

Kris Kuksi is an American mid-western sculptor. He shows amazing details in his artwork. He has the style of Michelangelo with darker and contemporary flair. I would love to see his artwork in person.

Video of the Week: Canon/ Nikon love/hate rap

Canon Boy meets Nikon Girl, Rap is Born


(via gizmodo)

Every Saturday, I'll post a "video of the week." It'll range from music videos and artistic work to informative and funny. I started to notice I've posting all this cool stuff on my facebook rather than my blog. Here's an effort to post my blog more and maybe gain more readers. I will post a photographer/ artist of November shortly.

Tweaking

Photo © 2009 Martin B. Cherry.

I am in the process of editing photos from Austin and working on my portfolio. Im considering moving my website to CarbonMade. I may like that format for my photography than the current application I use, iWeb.

I believe you can visit what I have done so far here.

If you can see it, please give me feedback. If I am not diggin' what carbonmade has to offer or its setup - I'll redesign my current website.

I was going through my Spain photographs to find some baby photos to send to my friend, Petri. Then I realized, there were many more photos I wanted to post but forgot. Here are the "hidden tracks" of the España photo album .

Btw, the hyperlink goes to the whole album. I slightly reorganize the photos, so you have to look at the whole album again! If you just want to see the new stuff, just click to recent uploads.


Also here is a sneak peak* of my photos in Austin.
