Alex Goot - Undiscovered Music Talent of the Week




Alex Goot, What is there not to say about this kid? He's a multiple threat musician with the vocals and instrumentals to boot. He isn't exactly and unknown, He's gartered a slice of youtube fame; truthfully he should be belting it out with a record label behind him. In this video he shows all his talented outlets while he covers Lady Gaga's bad romance. It's refreshing to see a young guy out there being himself. He's No Bieber!
Katy Perry now Lady Gaga...sorta been a Diva trend lately. That is beside the point. This kids got some raw amazing talent and'll definitely be seeing bigger things in his Future.


Take a read and a listen, let me know what you think.
If you really enjoy his stuff...drop him a subscription on youtube.

Morgan's 2010 Reel Video of the week




My Australian buddy Morgan is back for more with his complete reel of footage from 2010. He's no stranger, when it comes to videos like these on my blog. His incredible strength and dedication to his sport inspires me to work harder, train harder in all that do.
What really grabs me about this particular reel is it's underlying and driving force. Many samplers feature over played music that doesn't stir somebody on the inside; This does. It's about the evolution and journey of rediscovery for why he tricks. The filming is amazing, the athleticism is raw and genuine. Morgan is being himself and tricking for himself. Take a peak and let me know what you think.

Music Video of the Week January 13/2011




Boyce Avenue and David Choi collaborated on this cover of Katy Parry's Firework. I've been an Avid listener of Boyce Avenue for quite sometime and they've never failed to impress me with their renditions of popular songs and their own originals. I've never much followed David Choi despite my knowledge of his talent. This piece was outstanding! I enjoy Katy's version but this just had something the original artists lacked. It leaves you feeling empowered to shine.

It's 20 bloody 11

If there is one thing that will mark 2011 for me it's a shift in attitude. I'm done sitting around the sidelines and occasionally playing the field. It's all about pulling double shifts, in everything. Taking it from the ground up from college to editing and back again.

With 2011 comes a new name in editing for me. Affliction Films, It's solid and bold. This is what I was public perception to be of my editing. Not wishy washy holding hands in the backseat, I want the make out session in the muscle car. Did I really just draw that kind of comparison? oh well. I will also be running a separate blog for Affliction Films. This one is far to ADHD for something so viewer specific.

2011 started on a high for me, after a three year bitch with one of my original editing catalysts Mr.C. Brewster, we buried the hatchet. I don't know if I'll be working much if any with his new footage. The important thing is I restored one of my oldest long distance friendships. Since the start of the year I've slowly started shaving off the fat I've put on since September. I might just be a lean mean machine yet.

I hope to do a few things with this blog this year. For starters I'm going to bring back the Music Video of the Week, Video of the Week. Start a new  Undiscovered Music Talent of the Week, Film of the Week. Since many of you love your eye candy I will include the Hottie(s) of the week. I did say hotties 2 guys and 2 girls because we are all about equality. I would like to include a photograph of the week( Taken by Me) and for those willing a view submitted photograph. It could be scenery, animals...a non-nude portrait whatever.  I'd like to reach a broader grand of readers this year as well.

Let me know what you guys think.
