Fandango Burning Man VJ
This is a visual remix of the Burning Man show presented by Vinny Vancesco and the Scarecrew at Fandango’s 2009 Halloween party. I mixed in video camera footage of the fire dancing and burning of the scarecrow with some of the visuals I used in that night’s VJ sets.
Additional raw footage of the burning man is available at this youtube link:
Thanks to the Fandango farm, Vinny and the Scarecrew, and the Fluid Fire dancers.
The music used in the video was found at ccmixter.org. Here’s the link:

The track itself is a remix of DJ Vadim’s “I Want To Shout Out,” featuring Sabirajade.
The VJ equipment I used was the Arkaos VJ software and the Korg Kaoss Entrancer visual FX machine. Some of the image sources come from the included content in the Motion software, and also some jack’o'lanterns I nabbed from Flickr. Here’s links to the Flickr images:

Calm at the North Korean border
The day before departing Korea, a friend drove us up to the top of the Gimpo region, near the North Korean border. Along most parts of the border, the heavily fortified green space of the DMZ, or demilitarized zone, separates the North and South. In this part, soon after the merging of the Imjin and Han Rivers, and not far from the Yellow Sea, the river essentially takes over the function of the DMZ. The river is made inaccessible by a barbed fence and frequent guard towers. In the hills beyond, military transport roads can be seen.
It has been more than half a century since the Korean war divided the nation. Life goes on here near the border, and I wonder if it’s even on the mind of the people I see here, or if they’ve just gotten used to the idea that they live near a wall. Meanwhile, the birds and the bugs travel freely back and forth.

Cast Away In The Plastific Ocean
Featured
If you were to find yourself on a desert island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, you’re more likely to find a beach strewn with garbage than a pristeen paradise. Here, the movie Cast Away is re-edited to reflect the reality of the great garbage patch of the Pacific Ocean.
Roots and Routes
This narrative documentary follows my Grandpa and I on a journey across America. Against the backdrop of 19th and 21st century meta-history and North American geography, it places the life and travels of my Grandpa, a man of his times, in a bigger context. The trip takes us on a journey from my Grandpa’s ranching community in south Saskatchewan, Canada, across the border to Montana, and then on Amtrak trains through Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, and finally back to Canada.
As editor and fellow traveler, I’ve done my best to make the film relevant for both my family and for a public audience. I hope the film might have some appeal to everyone from rail enthusiasts to grade school Social Studies teachers.
The film is 30 minutes long.
It was filmed with a Canon HV-20 camera. Various archival footage was taken from archive.org and youtube. The film was edited using Final Cut Studio.
