Predapocalypto

This is my first attempt at a sync video which is based on an idea I had a couple of years ago. It's a little rough around the edges, and a little longer than anticipated, but I went with the flow and this is what came out. Hope you enjoy!

a poemstory

a.k.a: inspired by the film of the same name

a.k.a: coming together with smoke glass and jaguar

once 
there was this matrix 
that was a monster in a tree whose vines were like snakes 
next to a trap of sinking sand 
after i became blue(ish), 
just as i was beginning to worship the eclipse, 
the monster made me prey
but i am jaguar paw (i am), and this is my forest 
the monster's eyes are then like mine are now 
as are the forest, i suppose,
and the snake, which was actually a vine snaking up a tree 
next to a trap of sinking sand
somehow suddenly all around
now, i became dark, i saw
and the monster and i danced and laughed 
at who the hell we were
once

  1. MOVING PICTURES - one art to rule them all.

    Wow! Excellent work, but let’s take it 2 perfection, my friend.

    My* advice 2 U: film is a collaborative art, find a good editor & let him/her do the cuts while u do the thinking.

  2. The scene from Indian Jones holding the heart ... Passion of the Christ walking the cross ... Apacolypto, wife in a hole too ...

    Goggle Beta Uploader does not have a size limit, I've uploaded a 30 minute video before and then gotten the embedded codes

  6. Fan F@#king Fastic!

    I get excited about this stuff.

    But I'd have to say that was one hell of a premier!

    No Gadgets or Gizmos.

    Just a knack for stacking them building bricks.

    I was not bored for a micro second.

    In other words....

    It was not bad ;^)
