Red Baron vs White Death. Epic Rap Battles of History

First time in self-driving Uber in Austin, TX. Pretty Amazing!

Use Your Car to Make Better Videos from Vimeo Video School on Vimeo.

Great filmmakers should never let a lack of funds get in the way of an epic project. If you're searching for a piece of equipment to give your film a polished edge, look no further than your garage. A car can supply that extra professional look without costing extra professional dollars.

Honored to have completed the Chad 1000X workout this Veterans Day at Seaward CrossFit.

The workout—1,000 step-ups for time on a 20-inch box while wearing a weighted vest—pays tribute to Chad Wilkinson, a Navy SEAL who tragically took his own life after battling PTSD. This challenging workout is not just a test of physical endurance but a tribute to the sacrifices made by our veterans. It’s a reminder of the strength, resilience, and unity that defines us as a community.

Thank you to all who have served. #VeteransDay #Chad1000X

Watch and Enjoy.

Storytelling Night on October 20th

The next FST Improv Storytelling Night at The Art Ovation Hotel is October 20th at 6pm. We will be telling some Halloween stories! We hope to see you there.

Enjoy free entertaining storytelling featuring the Florida Studio Theater IMPROV performers once a month on Sunday evening.

If the narrative around Aurora, CO and Springfield, OH looks familiar, it's because the same playbook was deployed 15 years ago...in Prince William County, Virginia...against Mexicans.

Valley of Dolls from Fritz Schumann on Vimeo.

Ayano Tsukimi (64) is living in Nagoro, a village in eastern Iya on Shikoku, one of the four main islands of Japan. Not many people are still living there. For those who die or move away, Ayano Tsukimi is making lifesized dolls in their liking and puts them in places that were important to them. The dolls are scattered around the whole valley.

She is married, but her husband and daughter are living away from her in Osaka. She's living alone with her 83 year old father in the house of her family.

Mastering The Improvised Movie Format

Get ready for something exciting! Soon, I'll begin a series about the The Improvised Movie Format—a unique blend of creativity and structure that brings improvised stories to life through cinematic storytelling.

This upcoming series will take you behind the scenes, revealing how improvisers can create cinematic experiences on the fly, using the timeless three-act structure as their guide. Whether you're an experienced performer or just curious about the art of improv, this series will offer insights and techniques that you won't want to miss.

What’s in store? We’ll be breaking down each act, from establishing characters and setting to navigating the pivotal moments that drive the story forward. You’ll discover how to build tension, craft memorable scenes, and deliver satisfying conclusions—all without a script!

Stay tuned as I prepare to launch this exciting series. If you've ever wondered how movies could be made up on the spot, this is your chance to find out. Stay tuned!

Very powerful series about the Migrant Trail through the Darian Gap. There’s so much more to the #Immigration Story than the headlines. Watch all Five Parts.

This will probably be the most controversial post I will ever make on Facebook.

I love a good Deep Dish but I grew up blocks away from the original Home Run Inn #Pizza which is still a comfort food for me. So my question is...Chicago style Tavern Pizza or Chicago style Deep Dish?

EXISTENCE A TIMELAPSE PROJECT from Michael Shainblum on Vimeo.

See more timelapse films and Milky Way photography over on my site: shainblumphoto.com/timelapse/

It’s been almost a year since I started my journey into time-lapse photography. This project has been an ongoing process for about 6 months. There was a lot of trial and error involved, and I spent many sleepless nights in many different unexpected places. Creating this film has taught me about patience, and what it really takes to achieve the shot that you dream about in your head. I realized through the process that the gear isn't as important as the passion you put within your work.

This short video is called EXISTENCE. The video is a statement not only about time and progression, but also a statement about the world we have created for ourselves. The basis of the video contrasts the two extremes of life itself: the urban metropolis, and the beauty outside the city. I love to stargaze. Watching the milky-way float across the sky is one of the most therapeutic experiences I have ever felt. If you haven’t experienced it, then I strongly recommend taking the time to do so.

Enjoy.

Alive Inside: A Story of Music and Memory [2014] Documentary - Amazingly powerful documentary about the power of Music on those suffering through Cognitive Challenges. It's making me rethink the classes I teach to our older neighbors. Let's stop normalizing ageism and instead honor those with more life experience than us.

Thank you for summing up stuff I've been trying to say and in a much funnier way.
