Due to seeing my videos of sharon I was invited by Michael Levington to him and his girlfriends appartment where they have monthly open mic. People show up and get on a list and then perform a couple songs and there is tons of video and photography happening of it all. http://myspace.com/forestfire http://www.youtube.com/apartmentmusic http://arincrumley.com This footage was shot in 720 24pn on the HVX-200 and color corrected in final cut studio with color correction filter lowering saturation and boosting mids and whites.

Pre-Production Vlog - We are Leaving Today!!! As The Dust Settles
I woke up kind of a wreck with only 2 and a half hours of sleep and snuck up on susan's boyfriend josh who was having a moment. I had one too. http://arincrumley.com http://asthedustsettles.com
Real music, with real instruments. Novel thought. A friend Josh is in Woodpecker so I decided to go to their show and film it. http://woodpeckermusic.com ________________________________________ Susan and I have been listening to their music pretty often while we are working on stuff and it was great to see the band and find out who sings each song. Also randomly my friend Sharon Van Etten knows the Cello player Andy because they went to elementary school together. He's kind of my favorite in the band in a way, nothing like a solid Cello. I love all these instruments and how good they blend together. My favorite songs kick in about half way into the video. Can't wait to here what comes out of these guys next. Susan is especially in love. To get this video downloaded in HD Seach iTunes or Miro for "Arin Crumley" and subscribe free to my video channel there. The file can play on Apple TV and is in 720p and looks pretty amazing. And feel free to re-cut and re-post if you have a ...
Editor of Screen International Michael Gubbins said on October 26th 2007 at Power to the Pixel: "The world as it is, is broke. The distribution mechanism that we are seeing right now as far as independent film is concerned makes no sense what so ever. And I think what we're now seeing is a period of waking up to the idea that theres nothing to go back to and only really beginning to engage in what possibly may come. That makes for very disturbing and very exciting times." Thats reasonably well put. View all of the power to the pixel presentations at: http://www.arincrumley.com
FIlmmakers and digital exhibitors both need each other. They both expect a lot out of each other. Sometimes it hasn't been communicated what the expectations are. Sometimes it's good in relationships to just step back and spell out the needs. What are the exhibitors needs? What are the filmmakers needs? In this video a panel of new media digital exhibitors are asked that question and a room full of filmmakers then tell the exhibitors what their needs are. With that dialog out of the way we begin to design an ideal reality together. A future of universal meta data, transparent stats, healthy compensation and a frictionless discovery experience for the audience. So now with the beautiful plan designed the only way we're going to get there is if we work together. Guys, don't forget that it's okay that we need each other. It might be called DIY, but we don't mean literally. Christ! We have to undo some of our american engrained independence sometimes and just bond, join forces, become a greater su...
Come to this event! http://DIYDAYS.COM This invitation video is only a rough Edit. I plan to add a voice over and also list the other speakers and then publish this video to youtube.com/fromheretoawesome

How do you do what you do? - London Power to the Pixel 2008
How do we do anything in life? How do we walk? How do we digest food? How the hell did we develop language and story telling? The answer? I don't have a clue. All I can tell is that we look around us at the objects and landscape and other creatures before us and we take a step into it all. Then another step, and then another step. And pretty soon, we are surviving as a product of our environment and doing so with out even much thought. Each next step is just the impulsive step we want to take. This has been my experience in the film industry. Everything changes when you least expect it and suddenly there are a new set of objects, landscapes and creatures. All I can do is try to stay in touch with what is before me, and take the step my involuntary impulses tell me that I should take. This video is my (Arin Crumley) presentation at power to the pixel back in Oct of 2008 and gives you a pretty good snapshot of the steps I've recently been taking.

Coming back from Burning Man and re-introducing myself to society has been hard. Kind of depressing. The real world is so slow. Connections formed on the playa don't have permission to grow anymore. Watching Hurricane Ike on the plane pretty much summed it all up. It's the end of the world. Or at least it feels like it. Maybe this slow life will eventually catch up with the acceleration I experienced out there. How long is that going to take? Help me here, what do you guys think? http://arincrumley.com/ http://asthedustsettles.com/

"Pre Post" As The Dust Settles - Arin Crumley Video Blog
Words can't describe the experience at burning man. For now all I can really say is how the preparation for post production is going. So here is a little video blog announcing the rough cut test screening happening in park city utah in january of 2009. To become a part of the test screening visit: http://indiegogo.com/asthedust
Here is a little raw clip of the band that my friends Isis and Titus are tour managing. This band made me feel happy. Immediately. I walked in, saw the drummer rocking out, heard the catchy synths and got right into it. It's not the most original and unique music in the world, but thats not the point. Thats the amazing thing about music in my opinion. And film too for that matter. You just do it. You hit the base notes and you heat the beats and maybe you say something into a microphone and thats music. Boom. Done. Similar to film, something happens, http://Arincrumley.com Distributed by Tubemogul.
Tomorrow (today) I speak at BTK in Berlin about the future of filmmaking and what my Berliner host Gabriel is calling Hypercubism. He also has a clever name for editing video which he calls tesseracting. So I think it's appropriate to have cut together close to real time my journey from New York City to Berlin mainly to trip them out and to also get a chance to post some visuals that have been on my mind for a while but that I haven't been able to express in any appropriate way yet. If you or someone you know is in New York, send them along to these screening links to check out one of two Four Eyed Monsters Screenings: BTK http://www.btk-fh.de/index.php?id=46&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=123&tx_ttnews[backPid]=7&cHash=dd66e53388 Cineramarock http://www.cineramarock.de/page11.html MORE LINKS: http://www.ks12.net/ http://www.gabrielshalom.com/ http://pavako.com/ TECHNICAL NOTES: This video was shot on a Cannon TX1.

Camera Test PV-500 & button head cam for As The Dust Settles
We have 4 of these systems and plan to use these cameras to document 4 peoples experience of burning man. We are concerned about audio quality and clarity and are looking into separate audio recorders to capture audio. The R09, H2, H4 and Olympus VN-31000PC are all on our hit list and we are also looking into really affordable 1/8 inch lavaliere microphones.

arin crumley as the dust settles production 08_22_08
Oh my jesus! We are leaving in the morning to drive 10 hours to the desert and start this film! It was all too much earlier today and I did this video just after I started to feel a weird cough coming up in my chest and took a break. I think I avoided getting sick by taking a break. I'll have to remember that out there. Okay, off to finish packing, get everyone situated with their cameras and then to get some sleep. http://arincrumley.com http://asthedustsettles.com
