Jessica Earley: Elementary Music Video

Published by Ryan Price on October 2, 2009 in floridacreatives, musicvideos, orlando, orlandovideo, performance art, theatre and video. 1 Comment Tags: , , , , , .


Jessica Earley is a fairly recent Orlando transplant. I first saw her work during a Puppet Slam at the Orlando Puppet Festival.

Jessica then went on to perform several pieces with a Mr. Brian Feldman, of wide renown in Orlando for his outdoor, public, time-based performance art. I also saw Jessica’s piece titled “I want your sympathy” at the Orlando Museum of Art’s First Thursdays, and I participated in her outdoor gallery event , “Blunder Bungle”, held at the aptly named “Museum of my Neighbor’s Backyard”.

Jessica also caught my attention when she signed up for twitter for exactly one day. Then, the 10,000th day she was alive, she paraded from her home to local hangout Stardust Video & Coffee in a parade of one, which was 10,000 steps long.

This video seems to be starring Jessica, though I don’t know who shot and edited the piece. The YouTube page for the piece says it’s a music video for a Chicago-based artist named Maigin Blank.

Jason Hawkins is a winner. We’ve featured his SOLMI videos here before, and now he’s creating lots of video for other folks in town. I dig his motion graphics, camera work, and the way he (or his camera) captures color.

Also, props to Jason Seifer. Kissy face? Nice work, broseph.

On a very serious note, if you’re reading this blog, you should make plans to go to BarCampOrlando and do a presentation – if you’ve got short films, this is a great captive audience to show them in front of – 20 minute time slots. If you do a podcast or vlog, work in television, motion graphics, design, or anything of the sort, the second day in particular will be of interest to you and you should really sign up to present. As I said on my blog about BarCamp:

I’m recruiting presenters and attendees for the New Media Day. Be there, bring your A-game. (your B-game is equally welcome)

At the last event, I think everyone’s understanding that there were going to be some crazy awesome presentations as well as some mediocre ones was not very solid. I spoke to a few people who presented and said “I thought I was going to be all by myself in a room with like 5 guys all scratching their chins, but I was SO wrong”, the other half of them said “I thought about presenting, but I didn’t think I was ‘good enough’, but then I saw it was just a bunch of guys like me, so I’m going to blow them all out of the water this time”.

Really, those are you only two options. You should have either presented at last year’s BarCamp, or decided that you were definitely presenting at the next one. If you weren’t there, then take my word for it and create a presentation. Really.

blissink – Now, that’s iRonic

blissink, have we ever met? I don’t think so, but we’ve sure bumped into each other in oh so many places around the web.

blissink is a ‘zine writer, designer and a father. The last role is important because I think his kids are doing the voices on this video. According to my friend Aleshia:

These are very violent.

It’s interesting though, because it’s not explicit, but it is very violent. We’re no stranger to desktop theatre here, and the Robot Chicken Generation is certainly blossoming through YouTube and other video sharing sites.

It appears blissink is doing a series of these Star Wars/LEGO videos. Under the banner of blissink, he’s also acted as a designer for the ELLA Music Festival, which we here at Liberatr had a bit to do with.

This doesn’t feel like a regular Orlando video post, but I’ll end it the traditional way by saying that we accept submissions, and I’d love to find out about you and your latest projects if you’re making videos in the Central Florida area. All you need to do is email me < liberatr AT gmail DOT com >.

In this crazy hurricane we call Internet Video, I get a jones for finding things that were made in my backyard. I hope these little blogs can bring a bit of that joy to you, and maybe help you make a new friend. It's the least I can do.
