I don’t know exactly what happened, but this website was hacked. According to my Mom, at some point yesterday there was a weird message (she called it “Goth”) stating that I had been hacked. It took a few days, but now things seem back to normal.

I don’t know if it was my host or the hacker but now we’re back up. I’m just happy I didn’t have to reinstall anything and I didn’t lose my posts!

Dean Kamen has a really cool wine cellar.

He also has an amazing chess playing robot.

Thank Louis Vuitton for all the super busy patterns showing up everywhere these days. The new layout is sort of the web 2.0 look plus that.

I saw a this weeks secret Beck show at the Echo. It was one of those “omg I saw x-rockstar at this intimate venue and now I can die” things. Celeste was there:

Then Jonny overheard a guy talking to his friend’s girlfriend. He said, “The Postal Service is like, emotion, and Death Cab is like, rock.” It was hipster hell in there. Maybe I’m too judgmental or maybe I read glitterfish too much, but when Beck sang, “One by one I’ll knock you out,” I was convinced he was talking to the young hipsters in the audience. And I cheered.

You can never read enough Glitterfish.com.

The Arizona Daily Wildcat profiled Jonny and I for a grads trying to make it in Hollywood story.

There were four grand prize winners (best video, best song, best live performance, and most creative) in addition to ten more honorable mentions.

Since our video was pretty good and there were only 2264 entries, I’m going to just assume that we got 15th place.

If you lost be sure to blame Youtube and talk shit about the winners on the contest’s comments page.

I didn’t know it but my comments were broken! They are fixed now.

Glitterfish is proud to present the music video for She’s Your Sister’s single, Gravity, off their debut album, In Between.

Gravity marks both mine and Jonathan’s first project since moving out to Los Angeles five months ago. We had no money and basic equipment but we still managed to make a cool video for an awesome band using over a thousand still photographs. Expect a high quality quicktime version after the Youtube Underground contest is over.

If you like the band, make sure you check out the She’s Your Sister’s official site.

Have you ever had one of those “as long as there are tests there will always be school prayer” moments?

We wrapped the Gravity video. Jonny and I are both stoked with how it turned out. For reasons I can’t get into here there was some tense moments right at the home stretch but things are looking positive now. We have a few loose ends to tie up before the release but check back Wednesday. later.

P.S. She’s Your Sister just recorded their second full length album. No official release date but probably sometime early next year.

I was interviewed for an article in the college newspaper of Belmont University in Nashville. From the The Belmont Vision:

Andres Martinez, a 22-year-old University of Arizona film graduate, founded Glitterfish.com, a Hollywood blog for filmmakers. He uses YouTube video for “new means of distribution of film for new filmmakers.”

“For a long time, people haven’t been able to publish videos, but now YouTube has given people that opportunity,” Martinez said.

“It’s about democratizing video; video is such a popular means to show people things. YouTube has shown us there is an audience for unpolished, amateur video.”
