Square for iPhone – by Chris OConnell

[iDevice Link] <— 22,727 views A nice revisit to a good friend doing good things. I asked Chris back in May when he posted this video what he was possibly thinking about when he conceptualized this idea...

“Just trying to push the limits of extreme, I wanted to do something that hadn’t been done before. I consider this accomplishment as important as the invention of the internet, or even television for that matter.”

Genius.

Andy Irons Memorial :(

This is not the original… don’t know why they would have pulled it down. A little upset over it, but I will post a replacement.

Hide and Go Media – Concept

‘Hide And Go Media’ Temporary gallery installations 6-12 month installations:

Infrastructure (must be inexpensive):

Downtown commercial space near colleges (slightly off the beaten path)
Simple beverage snack bar (coffee – Hydle has the hook up)
Wifi (must capture audience and allow users to upload)
Electricity (helps sometimes)
Simple gallery decor, white / black walls ready for audience art and participation
Modern comfortable lounge furniture
As much street side glass as possible (so when it is closed the media can still play and crowds accumulate at the store front)
Need hot event coordinator to book events, preferably single…

Concept:

Media age has caused every individual to amass absurd amounts of video. So much we have no use for it all, or even have the time to look at it. Concept create a physical space for people to bring, create it on the fly, dump it and show it. No need to edit, just push play and watch ourselves raw 24-7. We can set it up for all media, from 8mm, 16mm, VHS, digital etc. Fill the space with as many screens and projections, displays as possible, gotta have the overwhelming factor. It could be almost like a ‘Physical Facebook Space’, almost mocking in nature. Allow people leave a picture / video of themselves by instant up load to the server. Feed the ‘disease of me.’ It could be a place to blog old school, by writing on the actual walls with real pens, paint etc. The gallery space would morph based on the city and culture. Travel city to city, start in Austin, TX. At the end take a picture and hit DELETE!

How to make money:

Private events
Concerts
Donations to Joel’s Foundation / Film Schools
Sell lots of coffee
Sell real art (the good stuff)
(NEED MORE THOUGHT HERE! PRETTY IMPORTANT PIECE HERE)

Ideas…Go, More!

Like a G6

Hello Party People,

Less than a week before we all Matty boy turn into “old balls” in an evening not soon to be forgotten. Below I have listed the information straight from Senor Brian who we all owe big time for this generous gift to Matt. We will be flying on the world’s fastest civilian aircraft in the sky… a Citation X.

Plane departs 5:30pm out of landmark at San Diego airport. You should all be there by 5:00pm if possible, 5:15pm at the latest. They will wait for you, but don’t be late as it will screw up their flight plan.

The pilots should only need to see your ID.

There will be catering on the plane, along with booze, water, pop, etc. Help yourselves to anything on there – even the small booze bottles in the bar area. You will have to serve yourself during the flight. Trays flip up along the wall between the seats. Feel free to move around and do that as soon as the seatbelt lights are off. You can also talk to the pilots at anytime during the flight – feel free to ask them anything during the flight – just walk up there and ask.

There will be a limo at Boeing field to take all of you to the party right from the airport. There is a bathroom in the terminal if someone needs to change, etc.

As far as I know half of you are staying at Pete’s and the other half at Matt’s. So I have the limo stopping at Pete’s at 12:30pm on Sunday, then going to Matt’s then dropping you off at the airport.

Try not to trash the plane too much :-)

Pilots don’t take tips, but if you can tip the ground crew ($10.00+ a head or so – usually 2-3 of them helping with luggage, etc) on both ends it is a good thing.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Warren Miller is Free Again

It’s been a long time coming — but now it’s final. Warren Miller officially owns his own name again. He just needs to stay away from using it around skiing. What does this mean? It means… that even though Warren Miller Entertainment (the film company) may have won the battle. Warren Miller (the man) won the war.

Here is a recap of what began last year beginning with the release of Level 1 Productions 10th film Refresh.

Continuing forward – lets start a link trail.
