Two girls play frisbee one afternoon, then end up fighting, wrestling, and shooting each other with squirt guns.. What can I say? This is Japan. ;)

We had a lot of fun shooting this clip. I rented a Cube car, bought a six pack of beers, and brainstormed different shooting ideas. The video is still quite popular.. I’m not sure why.. Well, yeah. I know why.

A short video clip of some mini OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) screens, apparently designed for cell phones.

Actually, at the dislplay booth, I thought I remembered reading these displays were prototype plasma screens, but my memory could be failing me; I couldn’t find anything online regarding plasma cell phone displays.. The crisp clarity of the video images on the tiny screens make it hard for me to believe they’re OLED..

This clip is from 2002, and it appears the Sanyo/Kodak OLED team has since been disbanded.. “Under a deal worked out between the two companies, Sanyo will first buy Kodak’s stake in the venture then shut it down.” – CDR Info

After working for television production companies for nearly three decades, the founder of 24-hour porn broadcaster Paradise TV realized that people do not pay real money for simple documentaries or cooking shows. “I started Paradise to make money,” he laughs in summing up his motivation to launch the porn channel that provides some of satellite television’s more – as he will gleefully admit – ’stupid’ programming.

A couple years ago, Docomo debuted what I believe to be the second generation of it’s popular video cell phone; the FOMA P2102V. I don’t think anyone had seen this kind of design yet; the screen twists and swivels perpendicular to the key-pad part of the body. It looked like a thin consumer level video camera with zoom, record, pause, and play functionality. I released this video two days after this model debuted.

It was a lazy morning, so I decided to call up some friends, rent a Cube, drink all day, and film some ‘creative’ commercials for TokyoDV’s Spring Fashion Line. This is b-roll from that day; kind of artsy crap, but people tend to like watching dancing girls and boobs.. I try to give power to the people. The girl in front is wearing a stylish pink Jr. Raglan with tapered cut to show shapliness. The Japanese Kanji on front says ‘Big Fake Breasts’… But hers aren’t fake, so we did some last minute alterations. See the commercial for TokyoDV Apparel here; Fashion Fight!.. Silly goodness is both silly and good.
