WEAPONS OF MASS PRODUCTION 12

Check me out  Djing 7/2/11 at the Weapons of Mass Production #12.  New format, but trust me, will be a dope show.  Me and Boka will be hosting as usual, so don't miss out on this one

SPINNING W/ THE LEGENDARY DIAMOND D!!!!!

We got Diamond D (D.I.T.C) Spinning at Classic Material on July 16th.  This has all the makings of being the best party of the year.  Me (Dj Big Phill), Selectah, and SMI will be spinning....the Varsity Squad will Perform a set and T-NOTE will be the host for the evening....this is going to be serious.  Me and T-NOTE gonna have something special setup for that evening....gonna be really dope.  As you all know, Classic Material will have guest DJ's/MC's from time to time, and when DiamonD D's name came up.....I called J.Rawls.  Being that Diamond is on Rawls record, Rawls is my people....I hit up Rawls and he made the connect.  To be honest, without J.Rawls involvement, this may not have taken place. Me an Diamond went over the particulars of the event and here it is.

We will be recording this show and this is going to be that one party that if you miss it.....well you just missed it.

Apple releases new version of final cut...but

Apple released a new version of final cut pro, and called it Final cut X.   The last version of final cut pro is titled final cut 7 (they skipped 8 and 9?).  Usually this would be welcomed addition to my editing tools, the only problem is that they dumbed down the program.  They have taken out almost all the features that make it a "PRO" editing program.  It is basically iMovie HD.  There were so many complaint on the Apple website that they shit down the comments section for the APP (btw it can only be downloaded via the app store?) and have issued refunds.  I think apple has lost touched with what made Apple special to start with.  I can bet that this app will find its way on the Ipad somehow (hence the small amount of space it takes up) and will be able to be uploaded and worked on via the new apple "Cloud" system.

Conan O' Brian did a skit on his show about the new software, which pretty much sums up how most of us professionals feel about the software......check it out

MIKE EPPS AND DEAD PREZ piece (finally done)

These two pieces have been changed soooo many times in the past month....these are the final versions I did.

Dead Prez killed it (as to be expected) and I have seen them perform a couple of times before, but this performance was really dope.  The interview went well besides for a few mic problems, but being that we had two cameras rolling I was able to use the internal mic from the Gh1 and use that audio.  The audio is low at some points, but that was the best that could be done to salvage it. That night Smi and Jasiri X performed and almost everyone from the local hip hop community was in attendance as well as my OG Paradise Grey (of X-clan)

The Mike Epps show was dope as well, Dougie Fresh came through as well as Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and actor Ving Rhames.  Mike Epps cut up the entire time, and  Buckwild (the host) was real good peoples.

I edited this piece for Ryhme Calisthenics (a hip hop gameshow). I only shot the footage from00:52-00:56 and 2:04 until the end of the piece. The footage I shot was shot in 1080p, and on the Gh1. My shots took place in Pittsburgh,New York and DC. They compiled some shots that they wanted in the sizzler and I compiled them they wanted them into the piece. From 2:04 on I had complete control and used only my footage for maximum effect. 

LOST MY LENS !!!

I lost my Canon FD 1.4 lens.

The shots I got with this lens (with the GH1) were beyond ill.  I am praying that I just misplaced it around the house.....but I am about 85% sure that, thats not the case.  Looks like I will be going the Ebay route.
