Mumpsy’s Greek Mythologist Series

Local band Mumpsy collaborated with some local artists to create these beautiful videos, each featuring the story of a prominent character from Greek Myths. Here I have them in a playlist, so you can watch them all in a row. The album was released earlier this year.

I first became aware of the project when they had a photography show at local hangout Ethos Vegan Kitchen. I knew there was music associated with it, but I didn’t really absorb it all until just this week. I can’t seem to find a place to buy the record online. Hopefully Jeff will write me back.

You can (must) certainly check out their latest album, Fatelifter. The band had a Kickstarter campaign for Fatelifter earlier in the year, which was very successful. You can probably get the most up-to-date information on Mumpsy at Facebook.

Suddenly Santa (2009)

Santa arrives on Amtrak and as he walks through Winter Park is surrounded by holiday cheer as children and bystanders join him in singing Joy to the World.

This video is part of a viral campaign for a local film and book about the legend of Santa Claus. Check out their site Santa Is Real.

Santa at the Enzian

Santa made a stop at Enzian to visit and pick up the kids’ letters to Santa, and he promises that “they’ll get to the right people.” A lovely time was had by all, kids, parents and Santa.

I love some of the fun themed (non-movie) events that the fine folks at Enzian have been cooking up lately.

Solillaquists of Sound “Marvel” music video by x:144

Marvel from Solillaquists of Sound’s latest release “No More Heroes” (Anti-/Epitaph Records), is the first of a 3-part music video series shot by fellow Orlando MC/producer and first time director, X:144.

This series of videos is set to mirror the groups collection of three conceptually linked albums called The Listeners Trilogy. This first video, much like the first album of the trilogy, As if We Existed, introduces the story’s characters to the audience.

The next video will follow the action-packed dynamic of No More Heroes. The story will unfold over the next couple of months with the release of the next two videos and provide a bridge to the final album of the trilogy.

video edited, directed & cinematography by X:144 (Maged Khalil Ragab) on NO budget.. not one penny!

Audobon Park Community Market – Monday Nights at Stardust

Audobon Park Community Market from Big Wheel Provisions on Vimeo.

music by Ratatat

The Audubon Park Community Market is the Ourlando community’s source for the best selection of truly local food, from produce and other farm goods to prepared foods, grocery items and meals. We work hard to bring you food that is grown, raised, caught, or carefully made right here in Florida, emphasizing freshness and encouraging sustainable practices. The market is a community of growers, ranchers, fishermen, chefs, artists, handicrafters, musicians and neighbors.

This weekly gathering of friends, local food, local art, live music and more takes place in the Stardust parking lot at 1842 E Winter Park Rd. Every Monday, from 6pm to 10pm, creating a place where people can come together.

Then there is this excellent video by Mark at the Daily City.

We set up a table Monday night at the market to pimp our blog to the passersby. Most people passered-by without so much as a “what is this?” or “This isn’t locally-produced goat cheese. Get out.” They took one look at me, my nose in my laptop, and my table covered in shoddy flyers and scurried past. I felt like a perfume lady at Dillards forced to spray Fergie’s latest scent on stranger’s inner wrists.

A few wanted to know about Taco Truck Taste Test. Once they learned what it was, they took a shoddy flyer. Hope they show up. Having a blog table at this market is wonderful. You see how known you are and how far you need to go. Grateful they let me set up shop once again. We’ll be back, sans goat cheese and well-designed marketing material of course.

The Queues – Waiting By The Phone Music Video

Someone recently followed our @orlandoscene account on twitter from Orlando-based Glowmobile Recording Co. One of their artists is The Queues (myspace, facebook).

The Queues – Waiting By The Phone from Alex Wolfe on Vimeo.

This is the music video for The Queues’ song Waiting By The Phone. Directed by Alex Wolfe, Written By Jarl Sonkin, Rob Wintour, Jonathan Hamilton, and Alex Wolfe.

I enjoyed the video, and the production quality… and the song is pretty good, too! Give it a listen. It’s much longer than a normal music video, because the song is baked into the story. I’d like to see this group enter their video in the next Orlando Comedy Video Sketch Fest on October 14th at the Gallery at Avalon Island.

Star Wars Celebration 2010 brings Smiles to Orlando

I know the Star Wars Celebration V happened this past weekend here in town, so I decided to try and find some video from the event. I found some crappy video, and lots of “get ready for it” type videos. The best one I’ve seen to date is actually semi-officialy created by the Orange County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, with their Orlando Smiles campaign. Last year, they had a contest and eventually hired a couple to create a video every day for 67 days… not sure why 67 exactly, but there it is… and now there is this damn good video about the official fan convention for Star Wars, held at the Orange County Convention Center, not far from several huge theme parks and tons of attractions and other touristy activities. Must be pretty cool for people who don’t live here.

From August 12 – 15, 2010 more than 25,000 fans from all over the world gathered in Orlando, Florida to celebrate the phenomenon that is Star Wars. Here’s a look at the festivities hosted by one of the world’s most popular vacation destinations.

Miro Community Video Site

What do you make of this, kids? Looks like the fine folks who make the excellent Miro Player are up to some new tricks. I created a sample site and imported a bunch of Orlando Video and OrlandoSceneTV content.

St. Cloud opens a Business Incubator with UCF

http://www.incubator.ucf.edu/Locations/stcloud.html

While communities across the nation seek new ways to generate local economic development and job growth without spending millions of dollars, St. Cloud and Osceola County took a big step forward recently with the formal dedication of the new UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud facility at 3201 Budinger Ave. in St Cloud.

Gordon Hogan, director of operations for the UCF Business Incubation Program, said the launch of the new 14,000 square foot facility marks a new era of economic development activity in Osceola County.

Four incubation client companies are locating offices in the new facility immediately, Hogan said, and the UCF Business Incubation Program expects to name a full time site manager in less than 30 days. Eventually, the UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud could accommodate as many as 20 client companies.

Business incubators rank among the most cost-effective ways to generate sustainable local economic growth. Since 1999, the UCF Business Incubation Program has helped more than 140 emerging companies generate more than $800 million in annual revenues and more than 1,600 new jobs with an average salary of $59,000.

Research has shown that 87 percent of incubator graduates are still in business five years after graduating from an incubation program, said UCF’s Business Incubation Program Founder Dr. Tom O’Neal.

“The UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud will provide a wide range of services to accelerate the growth of promising young companies so they can play a greater role in economic expansion in the local area,” Hogan explained.

The UCF Business Incubation Program currently supports nearly 90 client companies, Hogan said, and ranks as one of the premier university-based incubation programs in the U.S.

“St. Cloud is very excited to have one of the premiere incubation programs in the country in St. Cloud. The UCF Business Incubator-St. Cloud will not only assist in growing our own companies, but will help to achieve the long-time goal of diversification in the local job markets and the overall economy,” said Ernie Gearhart, Economic Development Consultant for the City of St. Cloud.

The St. Cloud incubator facility is one of eight in the University of Central Florida’s Business Incubation program. Additional incubator facilities are located at UCF Campus, Research Park in east Orlando, and in Orlando, Sanford, Winter Springs and Leesburg.

Pillowlando10 Video by Eric Palm


Eric Palm said: A segment I did on Pillowlando held on Pillowfight Day, March 22, 2010, in downtown Orlando. The event was loosely organized by performance artist Brian Feldman. The audio is kinda problematic, and I’ll try to fix it soon.

Thunder Hag in Thunderland: Orlando’s Newest Puppet-Rock Band?

This reminds me of an old joke…

A smurf, a dragon-lady, and a witch doctor walk in to a bar. The robot bartender asks…

Thunder Hag

Curious about the lineup of this band, I dug a bit and discovered a link to Hannah, Brian Feldman’s wife, who he married for artistic and political reasons last week.

Work Live and Play in Orlando by Enterprise Florida: PLEASE GOD NO!


Who thought this was a good idea? ORLANDO TO THE EXTREME!

All the right video clips, all the WRONG edits, effects, and titles. I seriously want to barf right now.

Give ANYONE with 3 ounces of talent access to your video library – there are some really great things in there, I’m sure, and you must have spent so much money capturing and acquiring all of that footage (or someone did), why would you then let a 3-year-old with a mouse and keyboard near it?

I apologize to the person who did the editing – you may have just been following orders, but they were BAD orders.

Jessica Earley: Elementary Music Video


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.
