Just testing out the new HD Camera so i made a small montage via sony vegas. Which by the way continuously blue screened my machine until i gave up. So please excuse any bad cuts/transitions or things of that sort.
The reason for blurry vision some times was to test the cameras short lense zoom feature thing. Which worked out pretty well!

This is a touching story about a little girl who is sicken by a terminal stage cancer. You may have heard about it or you may not. In case you haven’t keep reading and even if you have heard about it please give your prayer and hearts for the following story.

This is Colby Curtin, a 10-year-old girl from California, USA. In 2005, she was diagnosed with a rare malignancy known as vascular cancer. Since that day, Colby has been embarking a painful life with the malignancy slowly creeping into her.
Last April, she saw the preview for the movie “Up”. Of course, “Up” is the current animation movie we have been greatly talking about – the awesomeness and touching of inner sense that the movie have provided. Since then, Colby was very eager to go and watch the movie.

Colby’s mother, Lisa asked if she could hang on until the movie is released in June (In US, Up was released on June 5). Little Lisa replied, “I’m ready (to die), but I’m going to wait for the movie.” It is apparent that Colby did not ask for anything but only the movie “Up” to come to the theater.
However, as the movie release was closing by, so did Colby’s health as the condition began to deteriorate. Without anywhere to turn to, on June 4, Lisa asked a hospice company to bring her daughter, a wheelchair for little Colby to ride on to the movie theater. Alas, the wheelchair was not delivered. Colby was too sick to go to the theater.
Then, a family friend of Curtin, called both Pixar and Disney, which owns the animation to notify them about the dying child with her last wish for watching “Up”. The Pixar officials were alerted and agreed to send someone to Colby’s house the next day.
The next day, someone from Pixar arrived. Along with the employee, a DVD for private screening specially given to little Colby to watch, stuffed animals of characters and other movie memorabilia.

However, Colby was too sick that she could not open her eyes to watch the movie. She was in agony, in pain. Her mother had to describe to her the scenes from the movie. When Lisa asked if Colby enjoyed it, she nodded.
After the movie ended, the employee’s eye was welled up and red – could not resisted the painful emotional to see how agony Colby was. But maybe it is a fate that Colby would not survived the night. Colby, with her parents nearby, died later that night.
Her mother said one of the memorabilia left by the Pixar employee was an “adventure book” based on a scrapbook that, in the movie, is kept by the wife of the main character. “I’ll have to fill those adventures in for her,” Lisa Curtin said of her daughter.
“When I watched it, I had really no idea about the content of the theme of the movie,” Colby’s mother told the Register. “I just know that word ‘Up’ and all of the balloons and I swear to you, for me it meant that (Colby) was going to go up. Up to heaven.”
I hope after you read this story, you will start to appreciate our life and be it more meaningfully.

Happy new year everyone, yes i know it’s been a very long time since i’ve actually got off my ass and made a blog post.
Recently i’ve become obsessed with the works by a man calling himself Pogo, these a true relaxation / chill out songs and should be listened to only if you are ready to have your mind blown by intense and awesome creative genious!
Below I’ve included some information about the man they call Pogo as well as all of his awesome videos. Please go full screen as i’ve spent over two hours implementing in a HD video player for you guys.
Pogo is an emerging 21-year old electronic music artist in Perth, Western Australia. He is known for his work recording small sounds from single films or scenes, and sequencing them to form new pieces of music. Often described as ‘Dream Pop’, and ‘Trip House’, Pogo’s music and videos have attracted a large and devoted following that continues to grow every day.
His most notable track, Alice, a composition of sounds from the Disney film ‘Alice In Wonderland’, was received with much success gaining 3 million views on YouTube as of July 2009. Pogo has since produced tracks using films like ‘Mary Poppins’, ‘Harry Potter’, ‘The Sword In The Stone’, ‘Hook’, and ‘Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory’.
Upular
Video for Pogo’s track ‘Upular’, composed using chords, bass notes and vocal samples from the Disney Pixar film ‘Up’. The track also features a small number of percussion samples, including an obvious kick drum, crash cymbals and hi-hats.
‘Upular’ marks the first ever Pogo mix of a Pixar film. The closing advertisements have created much debate of whether or not Pogo has been endorsed for his work. The release of ‘Upular’ also marked the unsettling deactivation of ‘Alice’, ‘Expialdicious’ and ‘White Magic’. We expect an official statement from Pogo explaining these events in the near future.

Scrumdiddlyumptious
Video for Pogo’s track ‘Scrumdiddlyumptious’. The track is composed of a sine wave bass, original percussion sequences, and sounds recorded from the candy man scene in ‘Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory’. ‘Scrumdiddlyumptious’ remains the only Pogo video ever to be uploaded to YouTube in 720p. After spending almost twice the length of time in editing and finding little outstanding feedback to justify it, Pogo is yet to release another video in HD.

Mary’s Magic
Composed entirely of small sounds recorded from ‘The Secret Garden’, ‘Mary’s Magic’ marks the first ambient release from Pogo and is widely regarded his most mature and sophisticated track yet.

Bangarang
Video for Pogo’s track ‘Bangarang’. This piece is composed of sounds from the Spielberg classic film ‘Hook’, a sine wave bass, and “a few cymbals for extra spice” to quote Pogo’s YouTube description.
‘Bangarang’ is so far the only Pogo video ever to be removed from YouTube. On the 10th of September 2009, Sony Pictures Entertainment filed a notice to YouTube claiming that ‘Bangarang’ is an infringement of copyright. Many listeners responded to this with much criticism, posting numerous complaints to Pogo’s YouTube page and uploading several copies of the video to their accounts. Pogo was quick to file a counter notice to YouTube, and wrote an article on his blog explaining the fallacies of their claim.
Shortly after Pogo filed his claim, ‘Bangarang’ was reactivated on YouTube and remains live to this day.

Alohomora
Video for Pogo’s track ‘Alohomora’, made using sounds recorded from the film ‘Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone’.

Splurgenshitter
Video for Pogo’s track ‘SplurgenShitter’, shot over the course of a weekend. ’Splurgenshitter’ was shot south of Perth WA on the outskirts of Mandurah, using a Sony XDCAM EX1. The track features vocal samples of Stewie from Family Guy, Dot from ‘Around The World With Dot’, and Clint Eastwood from ‘Paint Your Wagon’.
