A Production Company with Post-Production Expertise
I’m excited to announce that the video I concepted, directed and edited (in about 2 weeks) a few years back for Motion City Soundtrack is now up on Vimeo! Before today, the video was only available on youtube, where it’s about to reach 1 million views. It seemed like a good time to post a higher quality version.
Enjoy!

Lately Josh and I have been playing with some different photography methods and yielding some fun looks. Using an 8 second exposure w/ rear curtain flash and the LED off of the back of his flash as a “light marker”, Josh has a series of interesting light painting photographs. On the other end of the spectrum, I’ve been playing with my lo-fi Holga toy camera and coming up with some funky portraits. Being a medium format film camera, there is no instant viewing of your work, so you’re never quite sure how it will come out. In a world of digital everything, there’s something very satisfying about manually holding the shutter open and hoping the shot works, usually with unexpected results such as light bleeds and funky focal depths.
Regardless of your method, grab your camera and get out there and have some fun! I haven’t picked up a camera in a long time and the simplicity and playfulness of the Holga has really got some creative juices flowing for me. As an added bonus, check out the end of our montage reel. You’ll see some quick snippets of Josh’s photos from around our hood at night, very cool.

After a few years in the making, we’re launching our own production company, Runner Runner! Thanks to all our co-workers at Fischer Edit/FX in Minneapolis who helped make this happen; to Tony Mills and the Fischer FX crew who always manage to pull off whatever crazy ideas Josh and I come up with; to Modern Music for creating awesome mixes that make our television commercials, films and videos sound so good; to Bill Rogina and Kathy Yerich who figure out how to wrangle our production schedules; to the assistants who put together custom reels and help us get it all done; to our fellow editors at Fischer Edit who inspire us and give us great feedback; and, to jMatt Keil and Natalie Kane who made all of this come together.
Hats off to everyone who helped with the launch video!
China has begun Anti-terrorist drills in preparation for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
From the looks of the photo, China is going for “Maximum Intimidation” by implementing a combination of Segways and Nerf blasters. All they’re missing are some tassles on their handlebars. Clearly, no one will be messin’ with these guys…
This just in! Short brimmed, indie rock rock wearing, Castroesque hats are out. Sleek, crisp, white sailor hats are in. Trust us. Runner Runner knows.
I was walking out of a gas station bathroom and had to laugh when I saw this. It’s as if the wall is saying “Take your pick, dude. You’re going to have to use one or the other…”
Thanks to all who came out for the launch party at the Chamber’s Hotel. Your support and encouragement means the world to us! As for the party, I hope everyone enjoyed the delicious Runner Runner signature cocktails, and by the moves busted on the dance floor, it looks like everyone did. Thanks to Dory and Daron for breaking out the jams and to all those who threw down. Check out some of the photos from the party HERE. Don’t worry those of you who indulged in illicit activities, those pics were removed to protect the “innocent”. If you want more good party times, our friends at Modern Music are having their first ever party July 31 at the Kitty Cat Klub. Hope to see everyone there!
Now that this sweet blog is up and running, I’m going to start posting clips that haven’t had a home up until now. I make a lot of random videos that are just sketches, tests, and blips of ideas. This video is one of my faves:

Over the past two days, I’ve driven behind some pretty sweet looking vans. I snapped both of these photos on my phone (I was stopped, don’t worry). I don’t know…there’s something cool about the look of these images. Now I’m hoping to wind up behind a dozen or so more. Seems like it’d be a great series.
