Wishing you and yours a very Happy Christmas. Really all holidays.

Fantaisie

My friend Shane asked me to put this video together. Exactly one year ago today, with tax season being over, (he’s an accountant) he decided to learn Fredrick Chopin’s Fantaisie-Impromptu on piano. And he decided to film the whole thing. Over the course of three months, he practiced nearly every day and here are some excerpts from those sessions.

Thirst

Thirst | 2:01 (2011)

Some things drink water. Other things are water. Most things need water.

The song is Mpls Rock and Roll by Dosh.

Arabian Knights

Arabian Knights (Muppet Heard a Rumor) | 2:16 (2011)

Muppet heard a rumor. It was just a rumor. Muppet sings another one of his favorite songs, this time Arabian Knights by Siouxsie and the Banshees. Lovable menace. Hot of the heels of last year’s hit single, In Heaven.

The Dishes, Again.

The Dishes, Again. | 2:27 (2011)

Making mundane seem pretty. This is quite possibly the cousin of Dull Objects. An excuse to test out my sweet new T2i and the first Miabi Film of 2011. The song is Absolute Beginners by Bowie.

Christmas Blizzard 2010

Snow! | 1:31 (2010)

Timelapse video of the 2010 Christmas Blizzard. Out the front window of my apartment. Brooklyn, NY. Tough to take credit for this one as pretty much anything looks cool in timelapse. The song is Are You Satisfied? by Marina and The Diamonds.

A Very Inconsiderate Xmas

A Very Inconsiderate Xmas | 0:13 (2010)

A companion piece. Some people completely disregard the holiday season. We on the other hand hope you had a wonderful holiday and got everything you wanted this year.

A Very Agreeable Xmas

A Very Agreeable Xmas | 1:08 (2010)

Shaq makes a great holiday PSA for Toys For Tots. We make it greater.

Seasons Greetings… Miabi Films would like to wish you a happy and healthy holiday season, filled with good tidings and mirth. (Which I thought was a coal or metal-like material until I looked it up just now.) Please accept this little ditty as our 2010 holiday card. All in good fun. I’ve always been a Shaq fan and he’s representing a good cause here. Consider Toys For Tots as part of your end of the year philanthropy. They’re accepting donations up until Christmas Eve. Cheers.

Haunted

Haunted | 2:00 (2010)

I had experienced several hauntings. Doors creaking closed. Strange vibrations. Chills. I began to lose sleep. Why do ghosts torment the weary? I’d leave the music playing and the kitchen lights on in order to fall asleep. Out of sick curiosity, I set up the video camera and aimed it at the kitchen. One night I captured this. The ghost did not waste much time. Of course I used the video to fool around with different visual styles in post. This was the result.

aka… A Hipster Haunting. aka… Paranormal Craptivity.

Brozillas

Brozillas | 2:27 (2010)

Two dudes forge a quick friendship in an otherwise dudeless work environment.

Meyer and I had to do a presentation for work that revolved around the necessary steps it takes to create a web series. We decided to have fun with it. This video is the very special sneak peek of our faux show. See if you can spot the sponsor integration! We judiciously went into work on a Saturday armed with an issue of Maxim and several changes of clothes. Cafaro helped out on camera. Fun Fact: We recorded the theme song on my iPhone.
