iPhone 3D

I imagine that by the end of next year we'll have cell phones with dual cameras for 3D. The lenses need to be about 2.5 inches apart (just like human eyes) and there's plenty of room to do so. Here's how I picture it to look:

You'd then use polarized lenses to view them or if the phone's processor is good enough it may even compile the information into a final animated gif like these:

New Music: Sativa (click here)

I started writing this years ago on a PC and finally finished it on a Mac. The drum loops came from Logic. Thanks to Steve for telling me to slow it down.

ReinCARnation

I believe my car is a reincarnation of my great grandfather. He was always smiling.

My favorite film cliches to avoid!

You'll find most of these in student films and I've committed most of them:

-A character brooding in front of the bathroom mirror during a moment of "self-reflection" then proceeds to wash face.
-Extreme close-up of a flaring retina.
-Making animation out of anything. (After Gondry's White Stripes video many similar animations surfaced).
-Alarm clock awakens character.
-A character awakens from some sort of nightmare or flashback while covered in sweat at the beginning of the film.
-Slow motion explosions.
-Combining classical music and slow motion.
-Shot of a gun with only the hollow point in focus.
-Rack focus shot from a flower or dandelion to a character.
-One shot/single take scenes.
-Moving through walls.
-Shooting through a glass cup to distort the image.
-Ending by suddenly going to black abruptly (being pretentious).
-MY FAVORITE; Landing like a superhero face down then suddenly looking up.



Remember, these should only be used if it is absolutely necessary i.e. it propels the story forward. I'll keep updating this list as I'm reminded of them. Please feel free to contribute.

Make your own Magic Eye!

I've been obsessed with Magic Eye since I was a kid (it takes me less than a second to see the image). So when I found this site I just went nuts (and drew some too!). Here are my first two renditions + one from my friend Jenny.


This one's my name; Moses.


A penis.


A much better looking penis by Jenny.

Hide your children!

It was in the 50's that the money market decided to exploit the youth's monetary potential. Before then kids were little adults that only had hand-made teddy bears and slingshots to play with. Now, with their Pokemon and their Nintendo DS', they have been reduced to nothing more than little bundles of cash.

No wonder I'm such a pervert!

Disney laid its seeds in me when I was young!

Oopsie Daisy!

Ahh s#it! I never played with dolls but this sparked some childhood memories.
