This clever animation is a great early intro to your Halloween weekend. I love simple concepts that are done well, especially when it comes to claymation. The novelty of seeing 24 frames per second in plasticine gets me every time. To be clear, R-Rated isn't nearly as violent in a world of malleable monsters.

Inspired Singles: Issue 01 by Luke Fandrich
One Day by Matisyahu
The message of understanding has been preached and preached, however some songs make you appreciate the sentiment as if it's actually original with a catchy chorus and relevant lyrics. Matisyahu's single is a feel good - peaceful anthem that makes you believe that 'one day' doesn't have to be that far off.
Nightingale by Howling Bells
Haunting and beautifully melancholy, Nightingale is an ambient escape worth taking. With a driving undertone and sorrowful synth accents, this is the song that would best accompany one of those dreams you have where you start flying and can't seem to land.
To Build A Home by The Cinematic Orchestra
This song moves me in a way that's difficult to explain. Simple piano chords swell into driving lyrics that paint a fragile image. In its sweeping simplicity this song strikes an honest emotional reaction that not unlike the reality of experiencing love - feels raw, pure, euphoric and distant. Honestly, one of my favorite songs of all time.

Las Vegas: Edits (2008)
Las Vegas was made to be experienced. After my first time being there in 2005, this return trip in November 2008 was all about taking things to the next level. Upgraded room, Cirque show, trip to the Hoover Dam, and a ride on the Big Shot on top of the Stratosphere tower were just a few of the highlights. With so much to see and do I decided to be a lot more selective about what I shot.The first time around I decided to make a full blown travelog, and have since cut down the footage into select edits which can be seen here. For this 2008 trip I decided that a few quick cuts and montages were sufficient for creating memorable mini home videos. I treated the shooting far more casually this time (largely because I already captured most of the city on the last visit). It's always a lot of fun catching things in the moment.
These few energetic edits are meant to reflect a glimpse, not document the trip verbatim. The Bellagio Fountain remix I cut was an experiment altogether. With scenery and popular attractions that are familiar to a lot of people, I really just wanted to play with this footage to highlight what makes Vegas so exciting in both my own experience and in a stereotypical sense (the bright lights, etc.).
Take a look at these short edits and let me know what you think. They're fun slice of life/slice of vacation compilations. You can bet there will be a lot more of these types of edits to come.
