Knight Rider GPS...

So, I'm usually never lost (yeah right,) but if I were, I'd totally want this new Knight Rider GPS system with the voice of KITT to guide me around LA!

FIRE!!!

This is a fantastic time-lapse video of the Fires that were devouring Simi-Valley back in 2005.

I saw it on Boing Boing.

New Camera

Okay, I've never flown a remote-controlled plane before, but this just looks too badass.

It's a video camera that mounts onto an RC plane (or whatever you want,) and sends a real-time signal back to a set of VR Goggles that you wear, (which look very 80's in a totally Rad kinda way.)

Ya gotta watch the video. It'll make you think of mounting this camera on all kinds of stuff.

I was even thinking how sweet it would be to get some bad-ass aerial shots for a movie with this thing. It looks like the signal is NTSC, so it's probably no better than 720x486, but what a nice touch of production value you could add to a standard-def movie! Imagine an aeriel shot flying over two sword-fighting combatants on a ridge, ala Highlander!

I saw it on BOING BOING.

Writing Assignment...

(Just a quick piece of concept art. Anna Perilo's the model..from a shoot we did a couple years ago.)

So the cats from my Writers Group have been talking about handing-out writing assignments for a while now, and last week Dave made good on his threat. The parameters were these:

1.) There should be some mention or depiction of a
case of mistaken identity.

2.) At some point, make use or mention of an annoying
or aggressive animal. This could be a pet, a pest, or
even an obnoxious picture on a bumper sticker, or tv
ad. Or anything, just get him/her in there.

3.) Can not take place present day. Forwards or
backwards in time by at least 20 years.

4.) Sentence - must use "I guess you just don't see
that sort of thing coming."

So, this is what I came up with.

DEAD FANTASY

Not the latest Romero film. (Sorry, Kyle.)

What if my girls from Dead or Alive went up against the chicks from Final Fantasy?

Damn.

Get on the Frakin' Ship!

This must be seen to be believed.

Frak Yeah!

What would be great is if along the way, a rag-tag band of smaller boats fell into line behind the cruise ship, and then at somepoint, a whole fleet of like a hundred guys on Jet-skis attacked, dressed-up as cylons, and everybody on the cruise had to hop on their own jet-skis, and Dirk and Richard have to lead the charge to protect the fleet!


Yeah...

...that'd be Sweet.
