Pocket Cam: Relic

It's been a while since my last Pocket Cam entry, and this one is the least "pocket" of them all because I happened to have my tripod and my Zoom H1 with me at the time:
 
Thanks to my friend Pascal Grob for being the man in the photobooth.

For those who are in Zürich, the photobooth is located near Goldbrunnenplatz.

Here's a website dedicated to the photobooth.

I Support the Tea Party

Gotcha! The tea party I am referring to is the Royal Tea Party, which was hosted a few weeks ago by Bellwether V here in Zürich. I was asked to make a document of the event:

Instant Alchemy for Kimandra


I recently collaborated on a fashion shoot with my friend Andrea for her vintage fashion project Kimandra. I had been thinking for a while that it would be fun to shoot a project entirely on my Polaroid Image camera and she agreed, which is why we chose the name Instant Alchemy. We shot five different outfits during the shoot. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Kimandra is unique because any clothing you see in photos on the site are also for sale. About this concept they say:

"we believe that creating a love for the individual piece encourages long term use and therefore discourages consumerism and over production."

An admirable statement. Here are a few more shots from the Instant Alchemy shoot.

Ultra Cheap Hipster Glasses

There is a certain type of glasses that is very "in" at the moment. Unfortunately, like most fashionable items, they are not cheap. However, you may not have realized that if you have seen the movie Avatar, you already own a pair! All you need is your RealD 3D glasses and some black gaffer's tape.

Voilà! You are ready to go see Vampire Weekend.

Any interested party can buy the pair of glasses in this photo for $500.00
Warning: Since these glasses have a different polarization on each eye, they may cause headaches. Oh Irony of Ironies! 

Got My Jailcard.

We just finished production of the Jailcard music video which will be the first single from Jane Lui's new album Goodnight Company. Check out these cool kids:

Pictured: Myself, Angela, Anthony, Sonali, Kayla, Matt, Marc, Jane and AppaThe video features a really cool dance sequence choreographed by Matt Gutierrez. The people pictured are the core dancers who did an amazing job. In addition to the dance scene which took place at night, we also filmed near the LA railyard around sunset. The cinematography in both scenes was done by the very talented William Eubank.

I'm really happy wth what we came up with and am excited for when it's done and everybody can see it. I'll start cutting it together as soon as I return to Switzerland. Look for it soon!

If you read my last film update about the video for Goodnight Company, its still coming but just a bit after Jailcard. Stay tuned.
