Recording Snow Sounds

Christmas night I was snowed in so I decided to wander around TU recording myself walking in the snow and other Winter noises. It was hard work with every step and a few times I walked off a curb into a snow drift and was totally swallowed up. It took a few minutes each time to crawl out.

Star Wars Phantom Menace Review

This review of Star Wars: A Phantom Menace is better than the movie. Watch the first part and you will be hooked for the whole thing. It has better storytelling and is more creative than the original movie. It is also an excellent lesson in movie making.

Congratulations that was 70 minutes of awesome.

Biker Fox movie at Slamdance 2010

_B080331

The Biker Fox movie got accepted into Slamdance. Out of 5,000 entries 10 narratives and 8 documentaries were chosen along with a movie premiere from Soderberg. I have been working on this Biker Fox movie for over 2 years with Jeremy Lamberton and it has been in the works for about another year longer when Jeremy was working by himself even though the movie that is being shown is only about 8 months old. Biker Fox kept getting arrested and changing the intensity of the story that needed to be told.

The movie deals with Frank Paul DeLarzelere III through work and life and how hard he tries to be Biker Fox all the time. Selling car parts all day through Billions and Trillions Inc and riding his bike all night, never eating or drinking to protect his figure ending each day taking care of 50 raccoons in his living room. He is right on the edge of reality.

The logline you will see around is

A part documentary, part self-help testimonial about Biker Fox, who advocates “cogitating positive vibes to the cortex of your cerebellum.”

The official synopsis is

BIKER FOX is the story of Frank P. DeLarzelere III aka Biker Fox, Tulsa, Oklahoma’s misunderstood motivational bicyclist, nature conservationist and muscle car guru. Part-documentary and part-self-help testimonial, the film navigates the uneasy relationships DeLarzelere has with both the city of Tulsa and himself, as his Biker Fox character’s intentions of spirited goodwill sometimes neglect certain boundaries.

If you want to know about the movie the best thing to probably watch is this appearance of Biker Fox on a Swedish TV show. It gives a glimpse of how crazy he is and what it is like to be around him yelling all the time and just being Biker Fox. If you want to go deeper into Biker Fox then you will need to watch the movie.

I looked at this old trailer but it was really made before the movie and is just a bunch of clips and doesn’t really have anything to do with the story. You can watch it here or see it around the internet but know that it is not the movie.

If you don’t know enough about Biker Fox after watching those two videos you could explore his website. http://www.bikerfox.com/

There might also be something on the Biker Fox movie site.

Micro Pigs, Next Step Tiny Bears

They cost £700 and fully grown they are around 2 feet tall. Pigs are pretty smart and should be great pets if by making them small they don’t decrease their social intelligence.

For about 10 years I have wanted a tiny bear. A bear that is around the size of a teddy bear, maybe smaller. I want one that behaves big and maybe roars occasionally but is so small that it wouldn’t really hurt anything.

A little elephant would also be very nice. Probably more gentle. I could really enjoy the small trupets I would hear as they wander around the jungle of my back yard battling squirrels. If I had bears, pigs and elephants that were all about 2 feet tall running around it would be perfect. You could also make around $5000 a day letting people take pictures of their toddlers with tiny animals.

Tani and Elvis at Jeremy’s Wedding

Getting dressed up for a wedding is always excellent. I got some new suspenders and a skull tie to wrap it all up.
