Week 11: I Make $CENSORED a Year

I've been camping for the last couple weeks so I apologize for the missed uploads!

---

I feel that money is an important topic that none of us talk about!  Yet all around us everyday people flaunt their money, yet we never talk about money. 

I made this video out of frustration.  I hope one day we learn to not find our confident in how much we make every two weeks.  I hope one day politicians won’t brag about their money and then skirt the topic when we ask for their tax returns.

I want to start talking about money in everyday life without feeling guilty about it, so I’m going to start right now.

Week 10: I Turned Down A Paid Job

I bought a sweet tent this past week (as you will see if you watch this video).  It weighs about 2 lbs! Pretty sweet indeed.   

This week's video is about a job that I turned down last week.  This is the first time I have ever turned down paid work in the film industry and I thought that was a great reason to document it.


Also for those wondering, the boat I am on is heading from Long Beach to Catalina (which is a small island off the coast of Los Angeles).  I was there earlier this week exploring so I thought I would give a taste of arriving on the island.  But don't worry, you will see more footage of the island in a later video!

Week Nine: My First Beer

Yo! Once again it is Wednesday morning at 1am and I am writing this.  This video goes up in less than 6 hours!

 

 

This is a special story to me.  I stressed out too much this week over this voiceover because I felt that I wasn’t doing it justice.  But, I finally got it to a point that I am extremely proud of.  I will even go as far to say that this video, this video you are about to watch, captures what I was trying to say better than any video I have made before.

 

This is the story about my first beer with my Dad on my 21st birthday.  

 

Enjoy!

Week 8: I Want To Do Nothing

Okay okay okay.  This video is a little different.  

I ended up going to work on Tuesday without having recorded an interview yet for my weekly video! That was yesterday! I didn't have time to setup some pretty looking professional interview with an overpriced camera and a very difficult to use mic kit.  So instead I just filmed myself walking to work at the studio.  I also ended up filming at lunch and on the walk back to my car just so I could get it sounding like I wanted! 

This video is the product of spending an incredible weekend in Malibu with friends, just getting back to the basics and disconnecting.  

You will also notice this music is not the typical overly cinematic piano (sometimes boring) piece that I find on Soundcloud.  For me, when I think about doing nothing I think about being in early high school listening to Mac Miller's mixtape K.I.D.S.  So I thought it would it would be a disservice to not use a beat off of that album.  I don't care how it sounds it's gotta be from K.I.D.S.!  And thus we have the Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza beat!

I will be back next week! Sorry I have not been responding to comments, I've been working more than I anticipated but I still read them and I enjoy them very much (they are good for my health and your's too)!

If you read this far you are the best! Not them, only you!  Well maybe them too. But only you.  (Don't think about this too much)
