I’ve recently been quite busy working on a video editing interface. It’s based around the familiar concept of clipping video footage in order to showcase, commentate, and package video into useful pieces that are to be used specifically in sports games. Without getting too into detail, as it’s still early in the process, I thought I’d share a few small shots of what it’s beginning to look like.
“Somewhere” attempts to visualize the idea of downloadable architecture. In this mindscape, the local becomes global, and global becomes local. The technology may come in the future when anything and everything, even the tremendous structures around us, has the capability to move in and out of information, data, spaces, and places that were never before possible.

Those who are like myself, and even maybe a little less informed about EDM, are surely aware of Deadmau5, and probably for three reasons now days: a big mouse head, really bumping beats, and for DJing in a video cube booth.

It’s no secret that The Sartorialist has come be known as one of the most popular names in the blogosphere. Scott Schumann is a photographer who went from growing up and playing sports to capturing and photographing some of the most opinionated fashion finds in the world.

I personally enjoyed the video for the mere reason that I now know exactly how Schumann approaches his subjects…something never revealed through the blog alone.
