Sealee moobees

So I got a camera, a PC with two editing programs, an understanding and wonderful wife, and a burning urge to become the next James Cameron. Relax, it is just an urge since I have no creativity or imagination. I'll be documenting everything from trips, to martial arts, to dogs activities, to whatever I think I can turn into a "work of art." Since I lack the "know how" and the talent I will be experimenting quite a bit and I am sure the films will come across as silly; because they are. :-)

Budokai 50th Anniversary

Here is a music video of very special workout to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Salem Budokai, and the 30th Anniversary of Koden Bujutsu Ryu.

Salem Budokai's primary focus is on the skills, techniques, and philosophies of Danzan Ryu Jujitsu. Their curriculum also draws from Kodokan Judo, Shotokan Karate, and Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido.

Home Improvements

I took some pics and footage of the work to show what a pain in the butt and why I am not a construction worker. I found myself in a silly mood so I began to compile the film. I thought about "Home Improvements" as I was compiling it and it was at the end of the film when I found the sound file; But I really got a kick playing: "The host". It was late so I grabbed a shower robe, a pipe, and the biggest DIY book I could find. I had no script, I just shot from the hip once the camera was rolling. I shot each segment maybe two or three times to get what you see. The host scenes where shot all in the office while editing the film. Technology is really something else these days. Enjoy it.
