Febrrrruuuurrrarrry!!
Yeah so the February remix competition over at bmore-electro is Lil’ Mama - Lipgloss.
February is also turning out to be “write an album” month. This remix will be an integral part of the first cohesive Glassknife (new site launch soon) release. The goal with this release will be to try and define a bmorecore sound. Something be between Baltimore club music and the various ___core sounds that are around. Read more
Write an Album in February???
Apparently February is kicking off as: “Write an Album month”

Sounds kind of exciting. I’ve got so much to do that month, can I be excused to only do 1/2?
Originally I heard about this over on the Ableton forums
Amazingly cool type blog
Typography can be pretty fascinating, the emotions that simple lines that make up letters and then words and then the way they are spaced. When done artfully, it can evoke anything.
This blog is about ‘found type’

Inspiration
These are from the motionographer feed that I have in my google reader.
I have to really pace myself looking at things like this. These are comapanies with real staff, and real time. My time could best be spent storyboarding a few concepts and then creating clips to follow these themes. This weekend, at a friends house, I watched a short film by a photographer (not a person who is normally a director) he had a few amazing shots and then stiched the narrative together with some great after effects animations. I wasn’t really so impressed with the entire thing, the overall thing came of as cheesy and mistimed. I think that might be due to some of the themes chosen, but the real thing that made me excited was the concept of using aftereffects for the majority of the narrative.
In summation. I need to make small bite size animations, but for some reason making eye candy(randomness) lately isn’t that appealing.
