School Yard Rivals

Put this clip together @ work today...i was looking for a cool song to merge w/ it and it took me a while. I came across Bruce Lees Enter the Dragon and thought it fit pretty well..This movie is of my sister @ school in Japan...Japanese schools look like so much fun for kids.

This is the Day that Happiness and Joy will be your Playmates

I found out how to operate the 8mm projector! I think that if i were to outsource the film to be digitalized it would be ridiculously pricey. So i decided to just project them onto a foam board and record them w/ my Flipcam. Ghetto and cheap but sufficient and efficient.

Here is a lil clip of my sisters birthday in Japan. Leave it to my dad to use trick candles. I will be uploading more movies and probably be adding music to them cause it can get a lil boring w/out sound. I might do something w/ them all including the scanned slide pictures in the future but until then keep ur eye out for some crazy old footage

What was Old is Now New

Seing all the picture albums and keepsakes @ my Grandmas inspired me to rummage through my families own stuff. So this is what I found. I knew we had a bunch of slides cause my dad always wanted to watch them but i never did as a child. Now w/ my film scanner im thinking of scanning all the slides and checking them out. I also found a box full of old 8mm film reels along w/ the projector. I took it out and fooled around w/ it and played one reel. It was a trip to see it ill post some up later when i get them onto the comp. I am keeping my fingers crossed that my dad kept the actual 8mm camera that he filmed the movies on so that i can mess around w/ it. Granted it still operates and i can get a hold of 8mm film?

I also found some old pics of my mom, a small Taiwan flag that is now hanging up in my room, my parents wedding pictures, and these Taiwan flag stickers. I love stickers!
