I watched The Fall (2006) last night by Persian director Tarsem in Blu-Ray 1080p. It was seriously one of the most beautifully shot movies I’ve ever seen. The shots in this movie should be in a video test to showcase high definition and resolution technology. One shot that stands out in my mind is a horseman riding against a red sand dune, but it’s shot at such a wide angle that the sky looks red. Also, a butterfly transitioning into a tropical island from another beautiful wide angle shot was one of my favorite.The story was sincere and brilliant, the acting also terrific, but half of its power is in its cinematography. It’s a fairytale kind of similar to Pan’s Labyrinth, not as phenomenal but much more entertaining, I thought. I like Tarsem because every shot, every scene and set he has could be its own artistic piece in itself.It’s like watching beautiful photography sets in live action, with a story.

Republicans and military men on John McCain. This video is the truth. I think if Obama wins the election, there will be a chapter in history books about how Obama had young people who knew how to use YouTube behind him.
Everyone needs to watch this video, and ask themselves, “Do I really have that much of a disregard for the other people that live in this world outside of the US? Why do we hate muslim fanatics, yet so many people in this country are fine with being fanatically patriotic and selfish. Sure, America is land of liberty and freedom, the land of equality and fairness. Why is a man who will not give fairness, compromise, and compassion a chance the same man who has 43% of America ready to vote him into office?Reblogged from: hello abteen / Post was created by: abteen

Tonight, I was on set with Abteen for the new Ting Tings music video, directed by Keith Schofield. The video has a really cool concept and I got to have a small role in it, which would have been slightly bigger had the camera not broke. Look for me in the back yo.
