Tune into youtube.com/live at at 5pm pacific / 8 pm eastern tonight (Nov 22nd) for this crazy concert with lots of music that has been popularized on YouTube.

Feel free to subscribe to My Video Channel on YouTube and see the rest of this trip unfold.
If you are in london on october 22nd and 23rd come visit Power To the Pixel to see our presentation for From Here to Awesome and our sneak peak of the rough cut of the trailer to As The Dust Settles.
We'll be presenting to a room full of potential investors, sponsors and TV channels that could potentially bring the film to the next level with their support.
A video of the presentation will eventually be posted online as well.
So for now, I'm editing away in becket MA and shooting a little additional material in NYC. If anyone has a RED camera during october or november in NYC? Anyone want to be a production assistant, boom operator or production assistant for As The Dust Settles?
Also does anyone have any footage or a well documented personal experience or an edited segment they would like to contribute to As The Dust Settles?
If so to any of the above, email ASTHEDUSTSETTLES (at) G M A I L (dot) C O M
Or, does anyone want to be part of the test audience for the film and see a rough cut of the film online and in nyc or la early and provide feedback and see this rough edit of the trailer via secret link before anyone else does?
For that go to: http://indiegogo.com/asthedust and click (fund) and you can join the team.

At Drexel University in Philidelphia on Monday I showed a clip of Episode 12. After that I spoke a bit about spontaneous filmmaking and always having a camera on hand in case you want to document something.
Then I talk about episodic cliff hangers and a structure we found ourselves coming back to time and time again. Jason, who produced Chuck and Buck brought up the fact that dickens released his first few novels serialized in the paper. Jason also mentioned the age old complaint that about there being a lot of bad stuff out there because of the democratization of filmmaking.
It's agreed that the promise is in better filtering and recommendation enginges. Then Jonathan asks us what did to raise revenue with Four Eyed Monsters. After my answer the tape runs out and then Brian Announces to the classroom a new project they are doing called "Nokia Productions" and says a press release with full details will come out on April 25th.
Three very short clips were taken from the above video and posted to the new From Here to Awesome Video Feed. Look for the video feed and subscribe on iTunes, Miro, YouTube, MySpace and Blip.TV and several other video sites. Thanks to TubeMogul and Mike Hedge for cross posting that video to so many sites.
Thank to taxiplasm.net for shooting this panel on the DVX-100.

Last week a film festival I co-founded called From Here to Awesome was introduced and got a lot of blogosphere attention. This is an interview that NewTeeVee conducted with Lance and I. After the interview they posted a raw .mp3 of the full conversation and wrote up a blog post on NewTeeVee.
I've you've made a film you think the world should there is a good chance you should really be a part of From Here to Awesome. Read the details on how to submit here. You can also see photos documenting the creation of this film festival in this flickr set. Please spread the word!!!! FromHereToAwesome.comForest Fire performes their song Fortune Teller at the Appartment January 5th 2008. Due to seeing my videos of Sharon I was invited by Michael Leviton to his and Leah Hayes apartment where they have monthly open mic.
People show up and get on a list and then perform a couple songs and there is tons of video and photography happening of it all. Check out The Appartment MySpace page.
To get all of the performances coming out of the Appartment go to their YouTube page.
And to get all of my videos go to my subscribe page.
Tech Notes:
This footage was shot in 720 24pn on the HVX-200 and color corrected in final cut studio with color correction filter lowering saturation and boosting mids and whites. I encoded the footage into the Apple TV codec using compressor and then changed the file name from a .m3v to a .mov and uploaded to Tubemogul.com where it was cross posted to my blip channel where I logged in and edited this HTML and then arincrumley.com and a few other sites got the cross post. Check my tutorial on this uploading and cross posting process.
