Enjoy.

Okay motards. Here's the DEAL. If you are STILL using Internet Explorer you will have to wait until the ENITRE video downloads to view it. Got it? Otherwise it will look like the file is missing or the link isn't working. I guarantee that it is NOT. I mean, it IS...not-broken, I mean... anyhow that's important. The best thing to do would be to right-click and download the videos to your desktop, and then keep them forever so that you can put your kids through college when I'm a superstar on A&E Biography. Also, download the latest Quicktime Player.

And now, for your viewing pleasure:

ADAMPALOOZA!!!

Out of Eden - This was the very first real piece I edited on my cube G4. I thought I was so hardcore. At the ime, and even now (long story) The Kimmey Sisters (Out of Eden) thought I was a weird stalker. Oh well.

It's a Process - My first documentary project. Got me hooked. Also the first thing I shot with my then new Canon GL1. It was fresh out of the box. I hadn't even learned the settings. Knowing now how finicky that camera is, it's a miracle that we were able to pull it off. (This was a co-production with Jessica, my vid partner) Incidentally, The Process is now just two members, Mac and Al, and they HATE when I show this video.

Timothy Brindle's Hell - I was asked, at the last minute, to help videotape Tim's album release. The audio was horrible, and there wasn't much to work with, so I edited his live performance to the studio track. Right. Nevertheless, there are some parts in the middle and the end where the synchro is frighteningly accurate. Tim is a great emcee. I also feel like I gyped the band with this video because all the live orchestration got trumped by the track. Featuring shai linne.

shai linne rhyming @ TU - shai is so nasty on this flow. The video is CRAP. It was with my first one-chip camera, and it's night time, and the compression has been to video hell and back, but the audio is relatively good, and you don't really care about the lighting. In fact, I can't imagine this any other way. This was at a BlackSoil show (a clip of Black is coming soon). Black used to emcee with Mars Ill. As usual with underground hip hop shows, people were late, and he didn't want to do his set just yet...so he invited anyone in the audience who want to flow to keep it clean on the mic...some unkown cat stepped up wearing his signature cammos and an oversized army-issue parka...enter shai linne. Waaaaaaay before he blew. But he blew! And YES, that's me saying "Oooh!!" after the Bill Clinton line. You'll see. (barely featuring the infamous HanSoul) how many bars is that??!

J-Silas @ CLC bookstore in Chestnut Hill - Chestnut Hill isn't quite the hip hop enclave that it could be. Nevertheless, the CLC bookstore stage has become a signature venue for local Christian artists to perform the week of their release. I've seen Out of Eden there, I missed Tonex there, The Cross Movement does shows and signings there sometimes...the mother from Moesha was there one day...lol It's a very unlikely venue for hip hop, but that's what it becomes a lot of the time. Check out the shots of the crowd. It's hilarious. ANYHOW. This is the COVETED "Holly Hip Hop" song. i love it. the perfect driving song. It's been performed at shows for years, yet never recorded and distributed. I love it...it ALSO features shai as Jay's hype-man. This was for the release of "Urban Compostitions Vol 1." If you look sharp, you'll see CEO and Producer/Founder Lee Jerkins and his LOVELY fiancee' Michelle Bonilla (also a RockSoul artist).

The Morning After - This is from the year I was with "Shepherd's Flock" our first and purest year. This was a gorundbreaking year for so many of my peers because God allowed us to be broken vessels of his Mercy. We were soem JACKED UP college students who thought we had what it took to "do ministry". I know now that on so many levels, we were dead wrong...but beacuse of our pure hearts, I believe that God used us and touched hundreds and hundreds of lives (if not more) anyway. This clip is from a highlights performance of a play we did. It's an enactment of Montrell Darret's "The Morning After" The guy on stage is ME. The girl is a dear friend, the talented Ms. Alissha. Listen carefully for the whoots and hollers from the young ladies. They weren't hollering because the scene...they were hollering because they had seen the act before, and knew that I wasn't supposed to lie on top of her. Watch Alissha's leg too. What can I say? I didn't mean too...you can also see me tugging on my shirt like every second because I thought I was a fat lard, If only I still had that boyish figure. It's an involuntary habit that always seems to creep up. I noticed it the other day in a more recent video. Ah well. That's me.

Da T.R.U.T.H snippet - This was something short I edited together in literally, a few minutes to be played at a youth conference where Da Truth was going to be sharing in D.C. That's just the way the work goes...I get an email or a phone call, or in this case, a freakin IM! and someone says. "Hey! I need some footage of Manny that I can show for blah blah blah...can you get that to me?!" And it's always life or death, and it's always a rush rush rush...so this was one of those things dug up in like 20 mins, edited in another 20, and overnighted to Florida.

Seguin Slide Show - A slideshow with a haunting Jeff Majors and Jason Truby soundtrack of everything we've been up to since we moved to Texas.

I hope you jerks enjoy!
Adam LOVES you!
