Burrito Grande

This past weekend I went back home to Utah.  It was a grand ole time with the parents and siblings.  I took the liberty to show them the latest pieces of work I have been fiddling around with.  My family has been making short videos ever since I was 8 years old.  It's been a passion of my older brother and he has always pulled me into his projects to help him.  If you want to check out his website you can do so by clicking here.  He has done amazing things by doing commercials for Spring Mobile and music videos for several famous people.  He is making a career out of it while I am doing small videos as sort of a hobby.

My dad and I got to talking about doing another visual effects practice video and we got the motivation to try and blow up my dad's car!  My dad has always been an awesome dad supporting us in whatever endeavor we've wanted to try.  Some dads won't even let their kids touch the family camcorder while my dad on the other hand encouraged us to use the family camcorder and be creative.  It really has spurned into a great family bonding experience.  My dad has a cool website all about being a dad.  You should go to it.  Click this.  Anyways, we took some time on Saturday evening to film this little scene.


My dad was a super good sport for letting me do this.  It was a good bonding time with my dad and I look forward to doing many more videos with him.  He has been writing a book about the lost dutchman mine in the superstition mountains in Arizona for several years now.  I think it would be cool to collaborate with him and make it into a movie or turn it into webisodes.

I shot this scene with my JVC Everio and edited it with Sony Vegas Pro 10.  If you have any questions about the special effects in this don't hesitate to comment below!
