Interview: Creative Jon and Film Making
Ever wanted to be a film maker or have had an interest in how directors put music videos or short films together? Well we have great news for you! The Geek Lyfe recently got in touch with Jonathon Jones from Creativejon.com and discussed his career as a film maker over lunch!
He is a great guy with tons of passion and talent who produces great videos from Music Videos to Short Films. He gives insight to what happens in both pre and post production as he shares his favorite moments and advice for any aspiring artists.
Here is one of his videos featuring Brandon Crookz in 2015 Flow
Based out of Phoenix, AZ – I have worked as a videographer/editor for the last 6 years. I have worked on a wide range of projects, big and small. From short films & wedding highlights, to promotional spots & music videos. Through the years, I have been able to craft my skills to take on any project, with the ability to adapt. I’ve worked with clothing lines, independent record labels, businesses and more. I believe my knowledge of film, web development and design makes me more than a videographer, but a multimedia content provider.
Give it a listen!(The audio may be a bit low in volume so be prepared to turn up your speakers.) Interview: Creative Jon and Film Making
Once again we’d like to give a huge thank you to Jonathan from Creativejon.com for taking the time to answer a few of our questions! We’re excited to see more videos from him!

Ones To Watch: Dreamers Of The Ghetto
The most important thing for a band to have is confidence; When someone believes so deeply in the art they create to not care for the opinions of others, to not feel the need to prove themselves to anyone who will listen and even more to those who will not. Throwing on skinny jeans, growing facial hair, and wearing an animal print shirt with an eagle/wolf on it is not confidence, that's trend following, I'm amazed at how often those two get confused. That's not a shot at the scene, I'm just referencing the inherent differences between swagger and confidence and how it pains me to see people buy so much into one when mistaking it for the other.
Dreamers Of The Ghetto (made up of Luke Jones, Jonathon Jones, Lauren Jones, and Marty Sprowles (two brothers, a wife, and a close friend)) could quite possibly be the most confident band in music right now. From the first listen "Tether" is a perfect example of how a band can give the impression that they not only know exactly what they are doing but they are playing exactly the way they want to. Sure you could compare their sound to U2 or Springsteen but this is not another band channeling their influences, this is a band putting out some good old fashioned "take it or leave it" rock and roll all the while still giving off that "New Car" Smell.
These Bloomington, IN natives channel late 80's arena rock in the most enjoyable way and, with all honesty, I never thought a band would come along that I could actually say that about. Having relationships so closely involved outside of the band could be the secret to where the unprecedented confidence comes from.
Temporary Residence Ltd. will be putting out their album "Enemy/Lover" on October 4th.

Dreamers Of The Ghetto - "Tether"
Original Article
So I came across this article a while ago and whilst at the time I didn't think much of it, right now I felt I needed to address the points (Or rather lack thereof) made by Jonathon Jones, an Art Critic for The Guardian.
'I used to be fairly sure she was a mediocre pseudo-expressionist whose rise to fame was down to the support of Charles Saatchi and a loud appeal to feminist cultural theory.'
Okay seriously, I hate to dispute a Guardian Art Critic but REALLY? He is complaining that a Female Artist is gaining recognition via; Firstly, an Art Buyer... who is just buying the Art he wants and Secondly, her LOUD APPEAL TO FEMINIST CULTURAL THEORY. How rude of her.
Imagine addressing inequality and societal pressure in artwork... it's madness!
Well Jonathon Jones, here's what you can do, get your tongue from Damien Hirst's arse-hole and have a look at what we in the real world like to call ART. Painting isn't dead and even someone as ignorant as this erroneous twat should be able to see that Saville, Innes and other Painters are keeping this tradition alive. And as for comparing her to Lucien Freud. REALLY?
He's from a different era, Saville is embracing her medium and experimenting and using it in different ways, not simply copying what has been done before her or throwing Farm Animals in what are essentially giant pickling tanks, she's making art that everyone recognises as art - the ordinary people (As difficult I understand it must be for Mr Jones to empathise with) enjoy her work because it is recognisable, human forms that occupy her canvases, not soiled underpants or used condoms occupying a bedroom floor.
As for the feminist aspects of her work? I've always found them subtle, people have portrayed the human body for generations before Saville, but what she has done is subverted their expectations of beauty, making people question the role woman play as objects of desire in our society, so why, I ask, is that a problem? Isn't Art a tool to highlight inequalities and struggles in the Modern World?
So, yes, Mr Jones... JENNY SAVILLE DOES FUCKING FIX IT FOR ME.
THE MOST CONTROVERCIAL PHOTO OF 9/11? When Thomas Hoepker took this photo on the 9th of September 2001, it was instinctively going to become iconic. Most people think why are the people so relaxed but then you realise they don't have a clue what is happening behind them. Who knew that two differences could happen so close to each other, it really does bring you back to home at how cruel people in this world can be.
"Today, the meaning of this photograph has nothing to do with judging individuals. It has become a picture about history, and about memory." - Jonathon Jones (guardian.co.uk, 02/11/11)
