a tooth for an eye

another supreme video from the knife

how will i know?

i'm almost positive i've posted this Whitney video before

but it is worth another post, since i can't remember when i posted it before

i heard this song two times in passing yesterday, and i took it as a sign

aside from this being an amazing song & video, with outstanding choreography

i am especially keen on the amazing outfits on those female dancers

this video was made in 1985 and directed by Brian Grant

he also directed the notable video's: 

Olivia Newton John's 'Physical' & Peter Gabriel 'Shock The Monkey'

this song was originally intended for Janet Jackson, but she passed on it

it won best female video at the 1986 MTV video awards

short-listed

I applied to the Summer Dance Makers Residency, Toronto, 

to re-shoot this video I made in 2009

Two artists are selected to use studio space in the distillery district
for one week in the summer, and are given $500
to realize a project

I received word today that I have been short-listed, 

which doesn't mean that I got in

It just means I was selected as a maybe from all the applications they received

And I'm quite proud!

update: I got it!!!

when i grow up

normally i don't like to post too many videos, especially one after the other,
you know, wanna keep it fresh 

(i'm currently listening to vintage Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince). 

BUT today my love emily sent me this video. and it made my day. 

i've always had a thing for choreographed everything. and its the first thing i ever remembering wanting to be when i grew up. from the days of hanging out on my trampoline, a lot, and making dances to ace of base. this video pretty much perfectly defines the kind of thing i want to make when i grow up. so inspirational.
