Aww SHOOT!

So I started shooting my latest project this week.  This is what I would consider the beginning of something extraordinary, being my first proper quality video yet.  I've shot a lot of silly shorts, and piddly projects, but haven't had the equipment to do what I really wanted to get out there, and this is one of them.  The shoot went well, even with the extreme time constrictions, and I had the help of my friends. A small number of people kept it very simple for moving around and organization.  I also learned to make sure to storyboard for the next project more efficiently to have locations planned come shooting day.  Now it's on to edit 30+ Gigs of footage, and to dub all audio.
Going through the details in the script, trying to remember lines. ;)

Headed to the Gala

Off to watch "Woman in the 5th" at the film festival last night. Had a fantastic time with my date, a great crowd and made a very unique friend in the business who I hope to keep in touch with. His whole production crew was very welcoming and I look forward to their next project.  As for my understanding of the movie we viewed...   ....after missing the first 10 minutes or so of this psychological mind game, we were both completely lost. Hahaha.  Great time either way.

The behind the scene blog stuff starts here!  This is what the cake from my Shick & West 49 "Break the cake" competition ACTUALLY looked like smothered on my face, unlike how it seemed in the video. ;)  That red writing? Yeah, that could have been glue by the way it adhered to my face. haha  That Light behind me on the chair, was actually DIRECTLY visible in the video shining right at the camera which most people haven't noticed yet. ;)  My favorite part of filming?  When we went to shoot the scene where I lifted the cake to my face, just as I was in upward swing the camera beeped and died before we got it.  Then we were left with this mess on my face and no shot of the cake hitting me!!  That's why we used the low table shot in the final video to hide the face imprint second time around. If you look closely at the first time you see the cake, you can actually see that it's a little messed up. ;)  P.s. This is the video that won me my iPad!

The video I'm talking about is right here --->  Break the Cake Competition Video

Look who made ME laugh ( A Must see!)

So I've been stalking this girl for a while, and it turns out I'm busted.  Not only busted, but exposed! Hahaha.  I saw this and almost rolled off my chair in laughter while probably blushing!  This is Cupcakeandtea on youtube.  It turns out her and I are the only male and female YouTube vloggers in the city of Sudbury.  Population? Almost 160,000.  Video Bloggers?  2.  JubaJer & CupcakeandTea.  How's that for an army? Well she's got her own army as well.  She's also got this interesting personality that's fit for a vocabulary contest and creative outfits like you'd never expect.  I give props to her for every detail put into them.  I think we'll be seeing more of each other in the future. :P

Another update!

Alright, thanks to my friend Jessi, this site is now formatted for people without wide screen monitors and the mobile version is a lot nicer. :) I hope your eyes enjoy the new look.

My YouTube Channel

The new layout

As time goes on, you'll see that things change around here.  I wanted to freshen things up and get a little more natural light on your face.  Alright, so it's a monitor screen, and it's not natural light, but I don't need people falling asleep with dark lit pages. :P  Hope you enjoy the new style of my site and continue to return for updates, and future projects.  Jer'

A brick in the head

Somehow I missed it. Somehow it evaded me for X number of years!  I feel like Doc Brown hitting his head and inventing the Flux Capacitor.  I realized something last night that spawned into energy, inspiration, creative ideas and excitement for the longevity of what I have in my mind being translated into creative works of expression.  I know now, what I've been curious about for that "X" number of years.  It was on the brim of my mind, but just out of reach.  I don't mean it to sound so mysterious or as if I'm beating around the bush, but I'm not quite sure how to verbalise the thought quite yet.  It's what every sucessful comedian or entertainer MUST have realized at one point that put them ahead of all the rest.  The reason that good stand up comedians become amazing actors, but why some actors could never do stand up.  We aren't even talking about laughs here.  We're talking entertaining in general.  I'm not self proclaiming myself a genious for thinking this, or even saying I can do these things, but I know something exciting and I'm ironing out the folds as we speak to better explain it.  I'll keep the world posted!

Running with ideas

I have a great number of videos planned for this year, ranging from comedy to drama and all other sorts. I would like to try a few different mediums but being my own film crew lengthens production time quite a bit. Mastering audio is a slow process but helps my mind feel useful concentrating on intense detail and layering ideas. Moving shots are difficult, as a second camera operator is hard to come by for my ideas.  It will all piece together either way with finesse and grace over time. Im sure of that. I hope all reading this understand that this year is so very promising that it excites me everyday with ridiculous creative and physical energy, and that I use it every moment of the day.  Tune in for my best work yet.

Do you Have ADHD?

Www.youtube.com/jubajer

This Vlog was almost a blast to make except editing. The more random, the more editing. The result of much random jargon being removed. That jargon will be a video all mashed up one day. I promise.

Random Video is up! Yikes.

Click the link below to check out my new video.  I had a hell of a time editing this one. By "hell of a time", I mean, I laughed at the content I deleted as much as the stuff kept, which made me think of a great idea for my next video. ;) Finally, a new lighting set up. It's only getting better!

Mind block is over!

Well, good news. My mind/creative block is gone as of 10pm last night! It's like a breath of fresh air. Literally. Motivated and ready to perform at peak! Why it even happens is beyond me. Very random Vlog tonight! :p

Filming right....Meow.

Filming the next Vlog as we speak. I wish the set-up was as simple as it looks on the final product, but there isn't anything quick about it! :)

Saturday is here!

Yeah, I work saturdays. Beats the old shift work hands down! Speaking of hands down.. I recall the purple and other 90's fun colours on the game I used to own. Heh. Probably went to a new home via yardsale. :p

Coffee coffee

Second coffee since 9am. Just the snap of the cheap lid tab brings the placebo effect into action with a sigh of relief.


Thursday

Thursday, you're like the SECOND hottest chick in line. Step aside. We all want Friday.

Don't worry, I'm hardly paying attention.


After finding a few things in storage from my recent move, I realized I had a few more gizmos than expected. Found my HD mino Flip cam which has been lost for a year, still in perfect working "charged" condition! Had to put them all together for a group picture so to speak. :P

Endless Inspiration!

Seems these days I can't keep up with my mind creating random ideas throughout my day. I was speaking with a client at work and spit out a random word pertaining to video effects. Un-phased, I continued on. I have infinite ideas coming from inside, and now coupled with the technology to do it, I hope the world is prepared.
