JEAN-PIERRE MELVILLE: Film Director Podcast “THEY CAME FROM THE NORTH” – Michael McVey, Skiffleboom.com
http://www.dvdverdict.com/mp3s/podcast1245.mp3
Film Podcast “THEY CAME FROM THE NORTH“ features a uniquely Canadian perspective on the career and canon of renowned filmmakers. Released through DVDVerdict.com and available on iTunes, the podcast is hosted by the diabolical Steve Power (Newfoundland), Jon Mercer (Newfoundland), Andrew Forbes (Ontario), and Gabriel Girard (Montreal).
Each week, these Canucks offer up a hearty discussion regarding the “Good,” the “Bad,” and the “Ugly” from each filmmaker’s body of work:
The “Good” selection is often a film held in the highest esteem, for quality and enjoyment.
The “Bad” selection is more middle of the road, though NOT NECESSARILY bad! It can be a good film, but has some flaws that keep it from greatness. It can also be a film that doesn’t quite fit in with the rest of the canon.
The “Ugly” selection is the true bad selection. It is considered the lesser or least of the director’s films, and can be skewered Mystery Science Theater 3000 style (although in our opinion, Melville has NO “ugly” films).
For episode #28 of THEY CAME FROM THE NORTH (Podcast #1212 on DVD Verdict) the crew invited me as a special guest, and we had a grand time looking back on Jean-Pierre Melville’s oeuvre. You can download the podcast here, but BEWARE!—this 2 hour discussion is for movie geeks only:

You can play along at home with IMDB and Youtube pages open, looking up the facts and clips as we go. Here is the trailer to the cool, influential French noir classic LE SAMOURAI:

I belong to a business networking group called BNI Commonwealth chapter in Massachusetts. Occasionally, I get together with friendlies and make fun commercials (members only). They’ve become quite a hit, and have netted my sign company some terrific business, well worth the time and effort. Here are some of my favorites from the past year…

Stop Motion Word Animation [Skiffleboom.com]
By Michael McVey, Skiffleboom.com
I find these refrigerator word magnets incredibly addicting:
I thought this up one early April evening, after playing with the magnets for hours. I enlisted HARDCORE AWESOME PHOTOGRAPHER Seth Wood to shoot the magnet animation, using a trusty Canon 5D Mark II. We used individual photographs shot over three separate nights — over 2,880 photos in total. I edited in Final Cut Pro at 24 frames per second.
We wanted to keep the lighting consistent during the shoot, to get the smoothest motion. Since my kitchen has many windows, a daytime kitchen takeover to set up cameras and lighting would have been too much effort. It was easier for us to shoot at night, from 10PM to 4:30AM (followed by 3 hours sleep… and then our day jobs!).

Fleet Foxes “Mykonos” at the Orpheum Theatre, Boston MA – 2011 [Skiffleboom.com]
by Michael McVey, Skiffleboom.com
A trip to see some Fleet Foxes with Mortimer Duckbrella + friends. Orpheum Theatre, Boston MA – May 17, 2011, HD FLIP + FCP. I stitched this video later that night.
The official Mykonos video is OUTSTANDING:
Such beautiful animation.
The door slammed loud and rose up a cloud of dust on us
Footsteps follow, down through the hollow sound, torn up.
And you will go to Mykonos
With a vision of a gentle coast
And a sun to maybe dissipate
Shadows of the mess you made
Pallid animals in the snow-tipped pines I find
hatching from the seed of your orphaned mind, all night
And you will go to Mykonos
With a vision of a gentle coast
And a sun to maybe dissipate
Shadows of the mess you made
Brother you don’t need to turn me away
I was waiting down at the ancient gate
You’ll go
Wherever you go today
You’ll go today
I remember how they took you down
As the winter turned the meadow brown
You’ll go
Wherever you go today
You’ll go today
When I’m walking brother don’t you forget
It ain’t often that you’ll ever find a friend
You’ll go
Wherever you go today…

(Face)ets: Pakistan and Yemen – Photography by Michelle Weitzel
By Michael McVey, Skiffleboom.com
I would say that one of the most interesting jobs I got at my sign shop, Sign-A-Rama Cambridge, was from Harvard University student Michelle Wietzel. She and her husband Billy traveled extensively throughout Pakistan and Yemen, and Michelle brought her camera. Throughout their journeys, Michelle took some fantastic pictures. In 2010, the Harvard Neighbors Gallery (Loeb House) exhibited a selection of Michelle’s photography, which I was asked to print.
It was a very fun job, and a welcome break from the monotony of corporate branding. At the show, Michelle and Billy gave me a running commentary on the images, sharing stories from their travels. Since I always carry my trusty camera with me, I got quite a bit of it on video. Flash forward to late February 2011, when I had a spare weekend for a quick edit and… voilà! A brief little video scraped together (more like salvaged) from the ever growing backlog!
Hopefully this diverts/informs a few dozen internet viewers, Harvard Neighbors Gallery gets some free PR, Michelle and Billy Weitzel get a video keepsake, and Sign-A-Rama Cambridge gets to show off their printing capabilities. Everybody wins! Except for my carpal tunnel. Maybe some Qat will help.
