Let Go of Nature Symbols from Jon Lee on Vimeo.

LETTING GO

My last vid of the month. My fellow horsemen, it's been a pleasure and a privilege. Stay classy.

Be well.

One Whole Night from Jon Lee on Vimeo.

ONE WHOLE NIGHT
Thanks to Adam, I bypassed that business of making my own pictures and words. Using text from Giuseppe Ungaretti as input, Google Images became the output for this vid. Music again by Erik.

SHARK CAR
I'm getting tired of making pictures move. I want to go fish. I'm tired of fishing. I want the cars to make pictures of me. I'm making fish tired by moving them around like pictures.

BRIGHTER DAY

It was a brighter day yesterday. So I took some more pics. Moved away from projection flickers. And am starting to yearn for moving footage.
I really dig the first 10 seconds of this piece. And the last 2.

Be well my fellow horsemen.

THIS IS THE GOOGLE AD I RECEIVED AFTER PUBLISHING THE LAST POST.


Foggy Day FHoJ#10 from Jon Lee on Vimeo.

I'VE BEEN MEANING TO

Dear fellow horsepeople. It's been so long. No moving pictures. No pulsing sound. This, has changed. For today.

The sound is Track 2 from Erik's Tape 2000 project found here.

I'm in Maine for the week so the vids should continue flowing. Strong finish. Woot.

WE ARE TRYING TO MANIPULATE!

The thing is greed.

The times.

In the interest of time.
This time is the time.
Time is a tiiiiiiime for timing.

SITTING IN A RESTAURANT HAVING A DRINK

Move today.
Yes, this is a post-dated post.
But, the day that this post should have been posted was the day I moved.
Thanks to Adam, Jamie, Mina and Mary.

888 Zoom Zoom Boom Boom from Jon Lee on Vimeo.

FREE TIME

Recently, my free time's been spent between packing up and unpacking. Putting things in boxes. And splicing, extending, and retooling video and audio until it becomes something else.

And I'm tired. So, I'll be focusing on packing for the next few days, just posting some video memories. The above a great day Jamie and I had last year on the luckiest day of the century.

And, speaking of downtime. I'd like to shout out Kate's unemployed notebook. Never seen anyone's downtime be so productive. Especially her character scripts. She put up a new one today involving a lunch ladle and some particularly gelatinous stroganoff.

Freedom FHoJ#8 from Jon Lee on Vimeo.

HI STAN. MY NAME'S JON. I MADE THIS WITH MY COMPUTER AND A THING CALLED THE IPHONE.

You know that moment when you realize something is awesome? And then you realize there's no reason to do anything else? That's what happened when I quickly panned vertically across one of my hacked iPhone pics. It happened to be a mashup of a bowl of beet soup at Domku and a tree from a hike a couple weeks back in Germantown, Maryland. There's some Trix in there too. Wooh.

Note to the FHoJ, I went over 60. Cause that's what needed to be done. And you hear that? I made proper noise by connecting things into my computer thingy. Instead of just turning my sound system up real high. Wow.

MJ On Park FHoJ#7 from Jon Lee on Vimeo.

I'M GOING TO MISS THIS PLACE EVEN IF I BITCHED ABOUT IT MOST OF THE TIME

The CD salesman below my apartment was blaring Michael Jackson all day long. I'm going to miss him.

I packed most of the day yesterday while intermittently calling family and making videos. Ah the life.

Hey Adam, who was the abstract filmmaker you and I watched during rehearsal a couple weeks back?

Renew. Revive. from Jon Lee on Vimeo.

STAY STILL

Three of the four horsemen were at the DC fireworks last night. I didn't bring my camera. I should really start bringing it around.

I'm eating smoked salmon for lunch.

Goodbye FHoJ#5 from Jon Lee on Vimeo.

BLUFF

Here's to lowering the bar a little. How low can I go?
THIS SPOT LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK

Note, to my horsemen, I've pulled video four because I hate it. Note to self. Just make some shit up, yo.
