posted on 02.12.09 Home, this is where we live.

Recently came across this incredibly beautiful and haunting documentary about our planet, it’s ecosystems, and the very real terror we have brought to Earth’s delicate balance.  You can watch Yann Anthus-Bertrand’s acclaimed film Home for free in HD on YouTube.  The film will show you the natural beauty of Earth and the very real effects of how overpopulation is choking out life in ever corner of the world that you and I have not or may never see with our own eyes.  I could go on and on with my thoughts about the ugly truth this film presents but I’ll leave you with this one thought.  How can you change your daily life to reduce your consumption of our finite resources and impact on our island called Earth?  Would you walk, bike or take public transportation instead of driving your car to work?  Would you bring your own coffee mug when hitting grabbing that much needed jolt (while walking to work?)  Small changes in your daily habits can have lasting impacts.

The amazing cinematography was compiled over 18 months and edited down from 544 hours of film.  The all HD footage was captured from above with a helicopter mounted Cineflex camera, just like the one pictured below that was used to film the epic Travis Rice snowboard film That’s It, That’s All.

posted on 29.06.09 RIP: A Remix Manifesto Documentary

With all the love we give mixtapes and remixes, you could understand how excited we got when we stumbled upon web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor’s new documentary RIP: A Remix Manifesto.  Andrew Kimmell and I watched this the other night and it is straight up awesome to watch.  The basis of the argument is plotted around mash-up king “Girl Talk” and the copyrights he is breaking while creating his ‘art.’  Expect to learn about the fucked up laws that are in place in America, who is trying to stop it, and why you should care.  You can download the movie directly from the RIP website under my favorite payment method…PAY WHAT YOU WANT! ($0 to $1000, you decide.) I see this popping up more and more these days, props to Radiohead for pathing the way for independent musicians, filmmakers and artists alike! Click Below..

Check out Brett’s long term project, Open Source Cinema.org where you can download and remix the film yourself to share with the world.

Also check out video mash up legends Eclectic Method’s website for hours of video bliss.  Must see’s include the Ari Gold “Fuck” remix, the Tarantino Mixtape and Long Live The King Mixtape…
