Yesterday, I attempted my hand at making a short film. And by short, I mean SHORT. It comes in at a whopping one minute and nineteen seconds. It was my first attempt at the motion arts, and with the help of my friend Nick Taylor, I would have to say that it came out to a success. So please, do me a favor, and view this video for yourself. If you like it, let me know, or share it on Facebook, or something along those lines. Thank you :)

Just returned from my work trip. Wasn’t to bad of a time I would say. Though it may have been in the middle of no where, and the weather was bipolar, I was surrounded by good people, and had a fun time. I didn’t get as many pictures as I was hoping for. The scenery wasn’t actually to great, there were some nice sunsets though, and the ever so popular helicopter shot. So I will make due with what I got.

As for current events. Day one of my arrival ended up with me being completely non-productive. I need to clean my house, haven’t touched it. If anything, I may have made it messier. Oops. Instead of cleaning, I did some more camera work for Nick in the NGS series. (NGS = Nick gets Sick) Almost all of the shooting is completed. NGS-E3 is still scheduled for release on its normal date of March 1st, 2012. A sneak peak trailer can be seen on this Nick Gets Sick link. And, as always, go to ntbone.com/nickgetssick for more important info!

Below, is a picture of me and my co-workers on detachment to Fort ****** ****** in Northern **********. We had a pretty good time. (I’m the one in the middle, arms crossed, in the front)

ALSO, DO NOTE THAT THERE ARE NEW PICTURES IN THE PHOTOGRAPHY SECTION.. AND WILL BE ADDING MORE, A DECENT AMOUNT MORE.

Out of Town!

2012-02-06T19:49:11-08:00

Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of work with Nick on his YouTube mini series. Its actually quite fun. Im actually appearing in the next video (if you read the post below) But I’m also doing a lot of behind the scenes photography and such for his site, as well as promotional movie posters and such like that. Almost as if I’m a professional photographer, working with a real client. So please, take a look at the Nick Gets Sick website to see some of the photos, as well as the mini series.

On a sour note, bright and early tomorrow I’m going to be headed out of town for a couple days/weeks. Work trip. And since it is a work trip, I have to be vague on the details. What I can do however, is while I’m gone. Take tons of awesome pictures, then put them on my site to share with the world. So, though I won’t be updating for a little bit, don’t get your hopes down. I’ll be back soon.

Here is a new picture, I actually took this out of my car, on the top of a bridge. Its all added to the Photography page.

Episode "Tres"

2012-02-04T18:34:51-08:00

“Nick Get’s Sick” Episode 3 is spiraling right along. Today I went with Nick (writer, director, actor, producer, film editor and sound man of “Nick Get’s Sick”) to do some shots and get this production rolling. It was a decently successful day. Minus the fact that I REALLY tied one of the night before and almost didn’t make it. That would of sucked, because I (Justin Wallace) am featured in this episode. Yes, thats right.. time to bring my acting skills to light. Ok, fine, I’m not an amazing actor. But I do have the ability to be comedic when I feel like it.

The short film is scheduled to be out by March. Seeing as how its the fourth now, and we got a good chunk of the filming done, I’m sure it will be on time. Even though there is still more filming to do, post production, and the fact that full time jobs get in the way. But anyway! Be ready.. Im going on YouTube.

Random quick blog note: Today Casey and I decided to try our hand film industry! Well not really. Armed with my new camera, I decided to make a quick film and see if i can’t edit it. So far, I have the film.. so now I just need to edit it. I don’t know if its going to be any good or not. But probably not. I don’t really care, it was fun to make. So make sure you keep your eyes peeled for True Life: Breakfast Routine, 1230pm. The chronically of how i wake up and eat breakfast every morning. With cool music. And an asian guy.

Side note: Nick gets sick episode two is out on the Tube. Look it up. Future post to come.

In reference to the previous post. I would also like to quickly add this video. Never in my life have i ever felt so strongly about milk.

Nick Gets Sick: Episide one

2012-01-21T00:27:56-08:00

The title should explain it all. But it doesn’t. You may be thinking to yourself “Yeah, hey, some guy named Nick gets sick and makes some video of some sorts out of it. No way i want to waste 6 minutes of my life on this.” Now if you are thinking that to yourself, then climb the tallest tree you can find, and swan dive off of it. For everyone else that was thinking “Wow!? Nick gets sick! The first installment to an epic mini YouTube series by a really cool/funny amateur film maker!” You guys are exactly correct.

Nick Taylor (aka ntbone) is a co-worker and friend of mine who (over some time) is going to blow the world away with his camera as a weapon. The Cough Syrup, first installment Nick Gets Sick, is a comedic short film about a man who wakes up feeling like poopy and unknowing ingests expired cough medicine. Though this film may only be a mere 6 minutes long. It takes you from the beginning to the end of the incident, with all the humor in between. Not to mention great cinematic techniques, and an overall professional approach at the entire film.

…Enjoy…

SOPA/PIPA

2012-01-18T23:24:59-08:00

So what's on the top of recent events? SOPA and PIPA. In case you don't know what these are, they are the Stop Online Piracy Act, and the Protect IP Act. These sound like some nice ways to stand up to the "criminals" of internet piracy. Right? Wrong!
These are two legislations that very well hold the power to change the internet as we know it. It's not the fact that they are anti-piracy that will ruin everything. It's mainly due to the way that these bills are written. They provide a broad range of powers for a broad range of infractions to a broad range on people.
Section 102(a)(2) permits the attorney general to take action against foreign sites (i.e., sites that do not fall under U.S. jurisdiction) if “the owner or operator of such Internet site is facilitating the commission of [copyright... infringement].” This doesn't state for THEFT but an copyright infringement.. which is EASY to break. Almost every daily website you visit has a form of copyright infringement. (any site with a comment box or picture upload) This bill turns us all into criminals. If it passes, then you either stop using the Internet, or you simply hope that you never end up in the crosshairs, because if you’re targeted, you will be destroyed by this bill.
But on the other hand. The government will never be able to suppress the internet. They may have the resources we don’t have, but not the willpower we do. We will just find new ways to get around their "censorship" and blockades. We will stand up and fight them until the end. If we can't be free on the internet, then we will make the outernet. The voice and heart of the American people is stronger than the white house can imagine. So even if these either or both of these bills pass. The internet will still thrive, it's up to us to make sure it does.

"But now we are faced with a new and troubling assault on our fiscal security, on our very economic life, and we are facing it from a thing called the Video Cassette Recorder" -- MPAA President Jack Valenti in 1982 In regards to the VCR.

Its Alive!!

2012-01-16T14:13:20-08:00

So i have finally got my website up and running. I don’t know what to do now. Hell, I don’t even know the point of my website. I was just bored. But since I now “own” a blog. I guess I will use it.
I can talk about the great future ideas i have for my site. Like.. ummm… photoshopping funny pictures using my extreme sense of humor to spread joy and happiness to anyone who stumbles upon my site? Yeah, thats one thing I can do. But i can also just talk about what has gone on in my day. That IS the point. right?
So today Casey and I (for some odd reason) woke up at 8am. I say “for some odd reason.” But I like to think that it had something to do with a 2 ton dump truck attacking the dumpster that a whopping 3 meters from my window. It didn’t just do this once either. It came, backed up, pulled forward, backed up, pulled forward again, emptied the dumpster, then drove around the block and repeated the process on the now empty dumpster. Don’t ask. Following the dual attack of the dump truck was the parade of trash digging bums that follow it. In case you live somewhere rich, let me explain. Its a pack of unbathed and malnourished people with a “profession” of collecting bottles and cans. And the hobby of clinking them around my window, and rattling around on 1990’s shopping cart built and rebuilt with the worlds most rickety materials,. Making them very loud, and very annoying. Regardless of the rude awaking I had, I woke up, shook my hangover off, and started the day with a smile.

It Starts...

2012-01-15T23:37:47-08:00

So.. I have never actually blogged before. But after extensive internet research I came to the conclusion that I can do it. After all, its just "a personal journal published on the world wide web consisting of discrete entries "posts" typically displayed in reverse chronological order so the most recent post appears first." -Wikipedia. Yes, I'm aware that typing blog in "Google" and clicking the Wiki link for it is not extensive research. Its strenuous enogh for me though, so dont judge me. I also realize that this is my first internet blog! On the first website I have ever created, so I should probably make it real cool and shit. But to be honest with you, I dont have the time. This is mainly just a website test to see how it will all turn out. So wish me luck, and maybe someday this site will turn into something. (HIGHLY DOUBTFUL)
