Someone did a side-by-side comparison of footage from an iphone and the Canon 7D. The iPhone video doesn't look too shabby compared to the 7D, though it is noted by the Vimeo poster that they didn't properly expose the 7D camera, so it's not a true comparison of the quality. It's still impressive. iPhone 4 versus Canon 7D from Take Zero Productions on Vimeo. Read More

With the new iPhone 4 touting 720p HD video capabilities, it was natural that people would start making short films and music video using this new technology. Sure it's not the greatest movie camera in the world, but it's easy to use and extremely mobile. I haven't had time to try it out yet, but people across the web have already started posting their finished projects, some even using the iMovie app to even edit it. To get a better grasp of what ...

[caption id="attachment_19" align="alignnone" width="650" caption="Game Dogs - the new web show by The Escapist!"][/caption] The Escapist just posted the first episode of it's new online animated series, Game Dogs, which stars the voice talent of my girlfriend Alena Koch.    I'm so extremely excited for her and little jealous, because I always wanted to voice an animated character. I can now live vicariously through her. The site blurb: "A show about dogs - who make games. It features the voice talents of Jon Etheridge, Tony Schnur, ... Read More

I'm a big fan of Twitter(my Twitter alias is, of course, @ilikefilms.) I guess you could say I was a fan of Twitter before it was cool. I get so much information from just pouring through the tweets of all the people I follow everyday and I love knowing that other people are getting something from what I tweet. Plus, I just love being able to follow celebrities in a 7 degrees of micro-blogging way. :) That love for all things Twitter gave ... Read More

Movies are my life. They've been there for me, when everything else seemed to be falling apart. The one constant in an everchanging world. They can cheer you up, when you're feeling down.  They can touch your heart to the point of making it a littly dusty in the theater. They can make you think. Because of how films affect people, this is the reason I became a filmmaker. To make something that moves people in some way.  Whether that be a laugh or ... Read More

My team Big, Fat and Stealthy has had a great website for awhile at www.bigfatandstealthy.com and now my other improv team, the more musically-inclined team, Hotel Principality, has opened it's internet doors with it's new site, www.hotelprincipality.com. Please check out both sites and come out to see both teams perform this Saturday, February 14th, Valentine's Day, at 10:30 pm at ComedyWorx. You won't regret it. Also, tonight, I'll be at the Twestival starting at 7 pm to represent ComedyWorx and my improv teams ... Read More

As part of the Project:Direct contest for YouTube, my newest short film is online. It's called "The Collection" and it's the film I'm most proud of making at this point in my career as an amateur filmmaker. It's a slight departure from the films I've made in the past, because most of my movies have been comedic in nature. This is more dramatic and atmospheric. Sure, there's things I'd like to change about it. With every project I wish had a real budget. ... Read More

The Super Sparkle Showcase ends this coming Saturday at ComedyWorx and I'm both relieved as well as sad.  Even though I spend every weekend performing improvisational comedy at the Worx in different compacities, I thought trying out for a talent competition would help me stretch even further as a performer. It definitely knocked me out of my comfort zone. I originally auditioned for the show on a whim and didn't think I had a chance of getting into the competition. For the audition we had a ... Read More

I was entertained by the first "Mummy" movie. I understood that it was sort of a light-hearted approach to the Indiana Jones films. A reimagining of the classic monster tale for a whole new generation. I was lucky enough to see it in Las Vegas many years back for a Blockbuster Video manager's convention and I had a blast. It wasn't reinventing wheel or the pyramids for that matter, but it didn't have to. It was what it was. A fun little ... Read More

Tonight my musical improv team Hotel Principality will be gracing the stage of ComedyWorx a week before our big trip to New York City for the Del Close Marathon.  It's amazing how far we've come in over the year and a half we've been performing as a group on stage. It's also interesting how much we've changed over that period of time. It started as a simple idea. When ComedyWorx started teaching longform classes, a few of us talked about forming a musical longform team. A ... Read More
