Krispyshorts has a lot of issues. Aside from the stress of running his advertising company that’s growing faster than he can keep up with, he’s cutting back on snacks to get ready for the summertime, often gets parking tickets on his Vespa, and his girlfriend, Romane, is really, really scared of horror movies. However, in his latest vlog, he reveals what may be his biggest issue of all in a new Instagram video. Alongside Roman and Jerry Media Creative Director Guy Blelloch, Krispy gives us a quick behind-the-scenes look into the guerilla-style production for this video—and we also get to see the video in its entirety. Watch it above! Read our story on Krispyshorts in the latest issue of Resource Magazine. via RSSMix.com Mix ID 8230553 http://ift.tt/2nTgldm

Since he was a kid, YouTube star Casey Neistat has been obsessed with the work of Spike Jones. In his latest vlog, he brings his hero to his studio for the very first time, a meeting 15 years in the making. The vlog opens with the latest issue of Resource Magazine, featuring our “Relationship Issue” cover story with Casey’s wife, Candice. We’re then given a nostalgic look at Casey’s long-time devotion to Jones’ work, from clips of The Beastie Boys’ 1994 music video for ‘Sabotage’ to a poetic telling of Casey’s repeated, increasingly frustrated attempts to capture the filmmaker’s throughout his early beginnings, alongside a selection of exclusive family photos and clips from the start of his career. “The greatest ambition, the greatest goal, the greatest dream I had at that time was to have my own ‘Directors Label’ DVD—to be honored the way Spike Jones had been honored,” said Casey of the 2004 Palm Pictures feature on Jones, one of his biggest inspirations of all time. Casey explains that Jones was in town for yesterday’s Samsung event, ‘a spotlight on real creators who embody the meaning of Do What You Can’t,’ according to the event invite. He also engraves Jones’ iPhone 7 by hand. Watch the video above!

It’s weird to even notice, but we do. If you pay attention to your social media accounts, it’s impossible not to care. You know that moment when you post a status update and then people UNFOLLOW your account? For a brief second you wonder, “What did I say that caused you to stop our online conversation?!” Then there’s this awkward moment of second-guessing evvvvvverything. How long the post was. How short the post was. If you should’ve posted that photo. If you should’ve stayed quiet. It’s a crazy game of What If’s. But here’s one thing I’ve learned: When people unfollow me, it’s a good thing. Yes, good. The world of social media has made business owners think that more is better. That numbers are a true reflection of one’s importance or value. But I couldn’t disagree more.
When people unfollow my Facebook page, I understand we weren’t a fit anymore. Our lives no longer intersected and that’s okay. I understand that my business will go farther with two people genuinely interested in what I do than 200 mere spectators and opinionators. (Yes, I just made up that word.) When people unfollow my account or your account, our challenge isn’t to focus on what’s lost, but, rather, pouring our energy into those who remain. The people who stay by our sides are those who we must give our care, help, and service. They are the ones who’ll remain by our sides and support our dreams becoming a reality. To them we must commit our time, effort, and energy. via RSSMix.com Mix ID 8230553 http://ift.tt/2mUgXQA It may be spring, but the Boise, Idaho-based teams of Resource Travel and Art of Visuals don’t know it, as we have seen snow, hail, 50mph winds and rain (sideways at times) since 10am this morning.

Now, as I work on a follow-up piece highlighting all of the reasons I am still glad I made the move, it’s hard to believe that Shoshone Falls, just a two-hour drive from my home in Boise, has evaded me until yesterday. Right now, Shoshone Falls is flowing at unbelievable 18,000 cubic feet per second, as shown in this video. Knowing this monstrous water flow won’t last long, I knew that there was no better time than right now for my first visit. Sitting just minutes outside of the city of Twin Falls, the 900 foot wide wall of water is at it’s strongest since 1997. So, obviously, I had to see the “Niagara of the West” for myself. And how did the waterfall get its nickname? Well, for one, its 212-foot drop actually makes it 45 feet taller than the famed waterfall outside of Buffalo, New York. Still recovering from the awesome time of this year’s Treefort Music Fest, I needed some nature to wash down the remaining taste of the weekend’s endless supply of Barbarian Beer and Bacon & Sage Popcorn. So I grabbed my favorite red flannel model, Caroline from Nine8Six Idaho Apparel and her just trimmed puppy Lilly, and we hit highway 84 on a mission to make the falls before sunset. Little did I know what was in store. Before the color came, there was a moody feel to the Shoshone Falls The entire drive, a thin, light gray cloud layer sat across the western part of the sky. While it created a nice diffused light, I spent the two-hour drive worried that I wouldn’t get nice light on the falls, but at least I could add some nice video clips to my Instagram story. I also figured the sky would be a bust, which as any photographer knows, is a great possibility when you don’t see the fluffy white cumulus clouds overhead. We made the short winding road that leads down to the overlook about 7:30pm, a good 30 minutes before sunset. But being that the Shoshone Falls sits in the Snake River Canyon, I didn’t take into account the fact that the sun would stop hitting the wall of water straight on well before the actual sunset time. But, as the diffused light cascading across the roaring waterfall, I was able to start getting some nice, evenly lit photos.
And then, it happened. I looked to the left, where a narrow walkway leads out to a west facing overlook that stares down the dramatic canyon and the sky was lighting up in a strong orange. This would normally would be a beautiful site in itself, but because of the massive haze created by the fast moving mist, the colors danced in front of us. Even after taking thousands of photos during Treefort, the scene easily forced me to overcome my photography exhaustion, and I quickly started snapping photo after photo, knowing that the light wouldn’t last long. But, it did. Much longer than I expected. The oranges slowly turned to a reddish/purple that illuminated the canyon to the left, but a cool blue hung over Shoshone Falls to my right, immediately making me think “I should name this photo ‘Fire & Ice'” before laughing that notion out of my head. 46 minutes after I arrived, I took my last photo as the color faded and Blue Hour started to descend. I knew I took a good amount of photos, but even I was shocked. 475 photos in 46 minutes. And as a photographer and avid nature lover, those 475 photos remind me how much I love Idaho. If you head out to Shoshone Falls, here are a couple of tips to get better photos.
via RSSMix.com Mix ID 8230553 http://ift.tt/2oizC5N Get Out director Jordan Peele is on a mission to cultivate black talent. In an interview with Digital Spy, Peele made a cultural call to arms to young African-American filmmakers who have a burning interest in scary movies. Peele, who recently shot to acclaim among film’s slash-happy and psychologically tormented, is trying to pay it forward by accepting horror scripts from persons of color. “For young black horror filmmakers, if you have a script, reach out and I’ll try to help it get made,” he said in the interview. Peele cited his production company, Monkeypaw Productions, as the point of contact. The freshly minted horror director who has already made a name for himself in comedy drew attention to a common argument made by Hollywood, a powerhouse industry that often fails to represent the people whose stories it appropriates. Peele points out that media moguls are often afraid to hand over the reins to black talent—black actors, directors, even black P.O.V.’s—fearful that movies by, for or about African Americans don’t do well, especially abroad. “We haven’t encouraged black filmmakers to dream big,” Peele said to Digital Spy. “Some stories it’s impossible for a white person to tell.” Get Out was filmed with a $5 million budget and has grossed $154.5 million since its release. According to the California state business registry, Monkeypaw Productions is located at: Happy mailing!

They are not in a sense “free,” as they have nothing left—their homes have been bombed and their loved ones murdered. Many of them have not even been able to preserve memories of loved ones on their phones, as some have had entire libraries deleted by invasive local authorities. In Lebanon and Jordan, for example, where many Syrians have settled, government and police forces have been infringing on the privacies of the politically disenfranchised. They go through the phones of refugees in search of signs of ISIS sympathy, texts or photographs that suggest dangerous allegiances—and because of this, many have lost pictures of deceased loves ones and messages they deem personal. But one photographer is working to change that. In 2016, photographer Alex John Beck traveled to Syria to take pictures of refugees and their most cherished memories stored on their smartphones. The series was released this month, with each entry showcasing an image of a refugee and their most precious smartphone memory. In addition, each refugee wrote a handwritten description of their memory, which Beck said was more telling than the photographs themselves. “It’s not necessarily the most sentimental object that they take with them… But it is kind of a depository for memory, and it’s the way that they still have connections with home. They have them in their hands at all times, just like we do,” Beck said to The Verge. You can view the series here. [via The Verge / featured image via Flickr] via RSSMix.com Mix ID 8230553 http://ift.tt/2ohqTAT Krispyshorts, or James Ryan Ohliger, was a Boston College finance major who developed a consulting career in New York. He later started an Instagram account, in which he spent the weekends with friends creating comedy videos. By the time he hit 100K followers, he had grown unfulfilled with his finance career, and quit his job to make original content full-time. This move was inspired by a long walk through the city with social media star Jerome Jarre. Today, Krispy has a co-founding stake in Jerry Media, an advertising company with a talent roster that includes meme king @Fuckjerry, alongside a lineup of other viral accounts. It’s also the first agency to offer influencer marketing directly from influencers, rather than acting as a third-party liaison between clients and talent. We caught up with Krispy to get some tips on launching a daily vlog. Here’s what he had to say. 1. Editing is Everything Krispy constantly shoots throughout each day. His editing process begins around 9 p.m., which usually takes about four to five hours. This means he doesn’t get to bed until 1 or 2 a.m., in order to post the vlog the next morning. “That’s the most challenging part, especially the way I edit. ” he said. “I like to use quick cuts to songs, so I have to get tons of shots, which need to be cut down to a fraction of a second. I have a color correction program—Color Finale—that I use for things like exposure and saturation, but I have to tweak each clip, which usually falls between 150 and 200 shots.” 2. Music is Key “Finding music is the one question no one ever answered for me,” Krispy said. “I had no idea what I could and couldn’t use. But I figured out that if an artist is represented by a big label, that label with send their tracks to YouTube, and its algorithm will pick it up if someone plays their song.” Yet there are a couple tricks. The first is to slightly speed up or slow down a track, which can be effective for getting past the algorithm, but is still a bit risky. The second is to reach out to emerging artists, who will generally let you use their tracks if credited. It’s also good to look for artists with large libraries of music, so you can receive express permission to pull songs at your own will. 3. Positivity Sells Krispy is a huge fan of Casey Neistat, and one of the things that appealed to him most was how happy his videos made him feel. “When I would watch his videos is just made me happy,” he said, explaining that it is vital to be nice; that it’s necessary to bring positivity to vlog content. “I’m worried about people thinking I’m too serious,” he added. “I don’t think anything I have to say is more important than the next person. I want to entertain you—I want to be a happy person when I turn the camera on.” 4. Tell a Story Although most of Krispy’s content is improvised, planned sections, such as dance sequences and skits, are implemented thoughtfully. “[When I go to] dinner with my girlfriend, I’ll put a camera in the restaurant before walking in, and change the angles while we’re in there,” he said. “This makes your point of view more interesting, but requires you to reenact scenes multiple times.” So what happens when you don’t have a story to tell? According to Krispy, that’s not possible in NYC. “You can really just showcase New York. It’s a beautiful city, and there’s so much to do all the time,” he said. “You never run out of content to produce. Life’s interesting, and if you document the craziness something good will come out of it.” 5. Consistency is Critical Obviously, when launching a daily vlog, videos should be posted every day, but it’s also important to bring consistent production value to the content. This helps build an audience because not only does it look pretty, but viewers know what to expect each time a vlog is released. Technically speaking, Krispy recommends investing in a decent camera rather than an iPhone or GoPro. His setup includes a Canon 80D with a gorilla pod, which doubles as a compact tripod and stabilizer, as well as a DJI Phantom 4 drone. For the most part, this is a moderately priced prosumer gear list that gives beginners room to grow while offering professionals the quality they need to make their content pop. “For anybody, you have to be consistent and keep uploading,” he said. “If you suck in the beginning, keep working and you’ll get better. Think about where you are now and what your channel will look like after a year. That’s what should keep you going.” This article was originally published in the spring 2017 “Relationship Issue” of Resource Magazine. via RSSMix.com Mix ID 8230553 http://ift.tt/2o7i4MC
