The embed's not working well. Click the image to watch it.

Justin Fornal, a friend of a friend of mine, is known as Baron Ambrosia, the eccentric host* of a local Bronx public access food show called “Bronx Flavor”. In tremendous news for him, he just created a pilot of his show for the Cooking Channel in which he searches through New Jersey for the elusive Jersey Devil fajitas. All in all, it’s a high energy, spastic, utterly silly trip through the highs and lows of north east New Jersey’s culinary destinations.

Give the pilot a look and let’s all hope it turns into something really great for him.

*He also created the strangest film I’ve ever seen.

The mad animal animations of Cyriak

Film and Film & TV

BoingBoing posted “Welcome to Kitty City” today and it’s the weirdest, most delightful thing I’ve seen in ages. That brought me to Cyriak’s Youtube page and from there I dove head first into his many insane geometric animal animations. And they are marvelous. Watch them all and then watch them again. So magnificently weird and devious and great. Really really great.

Mountain Dew Game Fuel Raid, or, my first real VO job.

Film & TV and My Work

Yeah! Check this shit out! So, I didn’t really want to talk about this too much until it was all done because I was stupid excited about it, but I finally got my first real voice over job, something I’ve been doing here at work for years and years. Tons of practice. This also means that I am now SAG eligible which has been a hurdle in the past.

“We LOVE your voice! Are you SAG?”

“Nope.”

“Ah, too bad.”

And that’s a shame because the paper work required to get me in, the Taft Hartley, requires about 30 seconds of work. Luckily, this time, they thought I was worth it! Yay!

I am actually in the spot twice. Primarily at the end over the tag doing my best Macho Man Randy Savage impersonation. “GET DOUBLE XP WHEN YOU SNAP INTO A SLIMJIM OH YEAHHHHH!!!” And then again, snuck into the middle doing my best Starcraft impersonation saying “target acquired.”

The promo is running through 12/31, the spot is national, and it’s clearly tied into the new Call of Duty game, so with Christmas approaching those of you with television will probably see this air like crazy. So exciting!!

Wake Up and Dance: A Series of Short Films

October 18, 2011 |

Film, Film & TV, Music and Music Videos

Sarah decided that it was a good idea to wake up every morning for nearly a week and shoot a video of herself dancing.

Her description:

For a week I’m going to wake up, put on my clothes and dance like an idiot. DEAL WITH IT!
Note: There is nothing special about these videos!
sarahrox.com For your health!

She’s wrong, of course. There is something special about these videos. I think they’re genius even if she doesn’t. But, that’s my prerogative and this is my website, so if I say they’re awesome, they are. I mean, by all means, please judge for yourself, but understand that if you disagree with me, there is going to be a problem.

Day 1: Holy Ghost! – “Wait & See”
