Video Art

 Here in Tampa we're spoiled with some pretty beautiful skies and scenery. I decided to take a few videos one day while driving with the top down in Jenny's car, and after some editing and distortion this was the result:


I merged the videos together using iMovie and added visual and audio effects. The glowing lights scene is our bathroom that I filmed for a few seconds. The little melody incorporated was created through this website I found on StumbleUpon.

Hatsune Miku

Talk about electronic music... Hatsune Miku is the ultimate form. Millions of people pay to see her in concert, she has tons of pop songs, and... she's completely synthesized.


Hatsune Miku is simply a hologram performer. She's an anime character created originally as a mascot for Crypton Future Media, a company that produces virtual instrument software. Her fame escalated quickly as she became one of the most popular stars in many regions of Asia. She has fans of all ages, who come to her concerts in which she dances and sings, and humans play instruments. Since Miku has no past or history, fans like to create her story for her. It doesn't really shock me that there are people out there who pay to see her. They're going to see their favorite artist, live, right there in front of them, who happens to be... an anime cartoon.
