Practice Makes Perfect

So, about two years ago I broke my ankle and it took a LONG time for it to get better.  Then, recently, I re-injured that same ankle and I've had to take it easy in the flip/tricking department.  But, I'm thankful to report that through the grace of God my ankle has finally been getting back to it's former glory.

As a result, I decided to train on it again.  And heck, as long as I'm gonna be spending some time upside down, I might as well film it.  Right?

I mean, right?

Practice Makes Perfect

November 2012

November was a pretty great month for me.  I had a good amount of work on some pretty big productions.  I really feel like some good things are in the works for me.  As for his video, it  was pretty much just filmed in the down time.

First Person Shooters

I was at this crazy garage sale at the Vatican where I found this game.  Super Old Skool!  This is actual game play footage.  Check it out!!

We Built A Light!

We wanted to make a movie, but it was too dark. So we gathered a mess of two hundred watt bulbs and made a light.  Basked in the soft glow of 1,800 watts all we had left to do was dangle some from the ceiling and make this little movie-film-commercial thingy.  Dig?

Hey! We filmed this!

Friday with Friends

By now it's no secret, I'm sort of a dullard.  I'm not a very adventurous person.  I would rather sit in the basement eating cookie dough, watching my twelfth straight hour of Storage Wars than... say... expose my skin to a single ray of sunshine.  I haven't gone out to check my mail in almost two months because  I'm afraid I might experience a hi by simply breathing the untainted oxygen of the outdoors.

And my friends, Chris and Rob, are no different.  I'm surprised we're able to stay in contact like we do, seeing as the energy it takes to type a single text demands at least an hour long nap and another tub of cookie dough.

And yet, call us crazy, we tried our luck this Friday morning.  We braved leaving the comfort of our mother's basements, and I gotta tell ya, I don't see what the big deal is...

I mean, just look at this video documenting all the fun we DIDN'T have

Recap: My Summer 2012

This is pretty much my final "journal" entry of the summer.  The leaves are changing, the weather is getting colder, and my harddrive is filling up with useless footage I won't be able to use anywhere else.

Ladies and Gentlemen...

CBR Stunt Team and Working with Danny

For those of you who don't know, my friends Chris Romrell, Robert Bennett and I have recently started a company called the CBR Stunt Team.  We perform stunts for film and television as well as live performances.  Other members include Corbett McAllister, Ben Alexander, Deven Davenport, and Christian Russell.

Anyway, I found this online today.  It's an interview with Danny Trejo (aka: Machete), talking about the film "Zombie Hunter" of which CBR was the official Stunt Team.  Check out what he has to say about us!!

And just for the record, Danny is one of the nicest men I've ever met.  Super cool and super fun to work with.  It was a great experience and one I'm not likely to forget.

Life is So.... Good....

Stunt School: Behind the Scenes

What happened outside the Stunt School itself brought us all together and made our experience in the School that much better.
I didn't have a camera running at all times because I was too busy enjoying them myself.  Nevertheless, here is a video of some of the behind the scenes footage of our voyage to the Motherland aka: Seattle!

Gettin' Ready For Bed

When Mister Sun goes down the four Swagger-Pirates get tired.  Here is how they prep for bed.

Stunts: Take II

Coming up here to Seattle to attend the International Stunt School has been one of the best decisions of my life.  There is no form of communication pure enough to express the amount of joy I've experienced here!

I've been too busy learning and iving the dream to really worry about capturing any of it on film, but I've wrangled up a bit of misc. footage and edited it together to some Christmas music.

Why the Christmas music, you ask?  Well, why not?

Stunt School

Wanna see what I did at school today?  Here is some unedited, uncut, raw footage straight from the action's teet.  Taste of life's milk.  All the danger without the dairy.

What Happens In My Backyard... Goes On The Internet

This is some of the stuff that goes down in my backyard.  It is a place of progression, a place of self improvement, and a place where grown men can take off their shirts and twirl hoses over their heads like little girls.

Enjoy.

The Great Paintball War

War is Hell.
Paintball war... is Heaven.

4th of July

To celebrate the 4th of July we made a voyage into the Grand Canyon.  We basked in the majesty of nature.  We searched the deepest chasms of our own souls, strengthening the connection between ourselves and Mother Earth.  We made new friends.  But mostly, we just jumped off of really high things into water!

Vacation

I used to have guilty pleasures.  Well, not anymore.  If I like something, I like it, and I don't care who knows it.  So my sister and I indulged in Rihanna, Ke$ha, Katey Perry and Carly Rae Jepsen the entire trip!!


We did some other stuff too...  Check the link below.

April: The Triumphant Return of Captain Corbett

April 10th.  The anticipation was palpable.  It felt like we were holding our breath and with every passing hour of flight delays, we became more unsure that we would make it.
Brenna was the first to go.  Maybe it was delirium.  Maybe it was nerves.  Maybe it was just a way to keep herself entertained in an empty airport in the middle of the night, I don't know.  Whatever it was, Brenna began to foam at the mouth.  She was restrained, then issued several "pimp slaps" to bring her back to reality.
Jami was next.  In the dark recesses of her mind she began to believe she was a true Earth-bender, like her hero Toph.  We couldn't snap her out of it, and to this day she still claims to have been trained by the giant Badger-Moles.
Finally, a light appeared from down the hallway.  It started dim, but grew brighter with each passing second.  It grew to the point that we had to cover our eyes.  What was this light? It was the glimmer, reflected from Captain Corbett's brilliant smile.  Hommie had returned!

At least, that's kinda how it happened.

Anyway, here's some of our adventures since he's been home!!!

Happy St. Pattie's Day!

This is why Saint Patrick's Day is the best holiday... EVER!

St. Pattie's Day

A Day in the Life

I had an assignment for school.  Film a typical day in my life.  Well, anybody can see what I do on a regular basis just by watching me live or by watching these videos.  I capture that stuff all the time, but the thing that no one is privy to are my thoughts.  So I decided I'd give my teacher a glimpse of what goes on inside my head on a regular, daily basis.

And here it is.

A Day in the Life

February 2012

I don't really know what to say about this one.  I'm not feeling very artistic or inspired at the moment.  That isn't to say that this month hasn't been both of those things, artistic and inspiring.  In fact, I would say that this month has been pretty stellar all around.  It's just right now, this present moment, as my fingers are busy punching keys I would rather be watching a UFC fight.

So I think I will.

Hopefully the video speaks for itself.

I Demand Satisfaction!

If I could use just one word to describe January it would be "meh".   Nothing ever really happens in January.  I mean, it starts off with a bang, but once the ball is dropped and that last flake of confetti has met the cement...everyone kinda stands around with blank faces as if to say, "Well, what now?"

But not this year.  I Demand Satisfaction!  2012 is the last year we've got.  It's Armageddon baby. The end of time.  I say we bring on the sub-zero midnight ping pong tournaments.  Bring on the nature walks. Go flipping with friends, and throw a molotov pumpkin at Christmas trees soaked in gasoline on Utah Lake.  It's 2012.  We're two weeks in and I'm giving the Rapture the finger
