Wyclef's freestyle performance at the Hilfiger Sessions



After reading Fashion and music combine for Hilfiger's TommyTV on reuters.com yesterday, I finally got around to checking out TommyTV. I like it. I like it alot. The sites a little buggy because it's still in Beta - but the content is great.

They have a site on YouTube where bands can upload audition video. The main YouTube site is located at: http://www.youtube.com/tommytv and contains a pointer to the audition site: http://www.youtube.com/group/hilfigerauditions.

Alex Dragulescu, Art Code (digicult.it)

I found a detailed article on Alex Dragulescu, an artist recently feature in a snippet on wired.com (See: Visualizing Viruses wired.com).

"Alex Dragulescu: In the university I studied Cinema and Photography, Art and Art History. I actually shot only two films on celluloid. My first was a silent film shot on a 16mm camera used in World War II. The second one was a hand-drawn animated film shot with a 16mm animation stand. After that, I taught myself computer animation. I realized I could work much faster by myself with just the computer. Plus I had this nice feeling as if I was still working in my sleep, since I would leave the computers rendering at night. Maya and Flash were the tools that transitioned me towards the procedural side of animation and design. After graduating I worked for two years as an interactive designer/developer in Internet companies. There, I started using web programming and relational databases. In graduate school, the transition towards the procedural was complete"

filmgeek.mitchallen.com

I needed a place online to put my notes on filmmaking. Since my Wikis always seem to implode, I decided to go with a more static blogger approach. Other film geeks can find my notes at:

filmgeek.mitchallen.com

I was going to use Ning to store this stuff. In fact the first entry is a note that I originally put on Ning. But I think I'm going to let the Ning site fade.
