1. manna from heaven
2. entropy

6. [removed]
7. making of manna from heaven

terabyte

just ordered by first terabyte hard drive (meaning 1000GB). i remember first hearing the term in 8th grade from a fellow nerd so it went from an abstract term to reality in ten years. in case you were wondering my video projects took up 50GB in 06, 100GB in 07 and 120GB in 08. just by itself that takes up enough space to upgrade. at this point documents, pictures and music take an almost inconsequentia. also it seems like i always spend between $100-125 on hard drives. The 1TB external cost that much, as did the 500gb internal, the 250gb external, the 60gb internal etc. do you guys think video will be the sole determination of how much hard drive space you need or will something else come up? (like 3D video etc.)

catching up on most of the videos i've posted

out of the videos i haven't blogged yet i would recommend netzer's new video for the song entropy.

my adventures in the country jordan! i spent 5 days and saw all the main sites. i went to wadi rum (which is a place with many beautiful natural wonders), petra as well at mt. nebo (where moses looked over israel). at night you could definitely see jerusalem (not that far away) but also as far as tel aviv.

riding the bus in jerusalem- by swapping out the music (a loop made of music by my friend ken lane) it becomes a serene couple of minutes. of course the bus was extremely packed if i put my camera in the very front of the bus and no one cared.

david and aaron files- the forbidden garage
- in 2002 i made a bunch of silly videos with david castle and my brother aaron. we recently found the old vhs tape and i digitized it. this is probably the funniest sketch and it also has james kelley and remy in it.

david and aaron files- and if you like the last video you *might* like this, which a collection of the other clips.

oh! how i hate to get up in the morning- i like the classic song and then happen to catch some video that i thought went really well with it. the song goes on for way too long so don't feel like you have to watch the whole video.

Manna from Heaven! (the best short film I've been a part of)

Most of you that read my blog have seen my Biblical comedy short called Manna From Heaven. This was shot in the Israeli desert outside of Jerusalem. I had gotten together with my friends Jose and Arielle and together we wrote the story. It is a story of Moses leading the Hebrews through the desert when they run out of food. Will G-d provide food for the Hebrews? And that probably won't be the end of the story...

We did the shoot in a long day. (see the preparations for the day here). The day was a lot of fun. We drove out, shot the first half of the film in one location, went to the springs at Ein Gedi for lunch and swimming, shot the second half of the film in a different location and then went to the Dead Sea before sunset. A very fun day and the making of manna from heaven video is definitely worth watching too. I then edited it in Israel a few hours at a time during the last couple weeks I was in Jerusalem. I also found excellent music I could use legally as well as debuting a new Netzer song. (also I put two of the best clips from the video as separate files if you want to watch them over and over: 1 2)
