NOT SAFE FOR WORK!

The new big hit video "Arlington Rap" made me think about a film I made about Arlington over 10 years ago. The canyons of Rosslyn are still beautiful, but we didn't see any brown flip flops back then. Also, there were only three Starbucks!

Here's an intro I wrote when I posted this movie on my blog (www.hoppervideo.net)

Here's another from the attic. This movie is the my second post-linear editing effort (I bought a used Media 100). My great buddy Maurice Martin and I came up with the idea of a character that had trouble differentiating between technology and nature. We walked around my neighborhood and shot Maurice in character. By the way, I did not ask him to lick the tire, I said "look at it lovingly" --- and the rest is history (we washed his mouth out with peroxide).

This picture doesn't show much discipline or focus, but it does show my excitement to communicate in new ways and with the fancy new tools! Fun days (of more than 10 years ago). You also get a look at the original, epic, and silly Hopper Video logo.
