Ridge Soaring the Massanutten from cs on Vimeo. 00:00 - Intro, ridge soaring the south leg 01:43 - Hang gliders 03:53 - Ridge soaring the north leg at 2x (playback speed) 04:48 - Resume 1x, thermal, wrap-up Ridge soaring along the Massanutten ridge (Virginia, USA) in an ASK-21 sailplane (glider) one fine winter day. The shorter winter days usually result in fewer potential thermal soaring opportunities during the winter season in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US. However, the hardier soaring enthusiasts often take advantage of the ridge and wave lift generated by strong winds associated with the low pressure systems which frequent the region during the winter months. The heroes of this clip are the hang glider pilots who brave the elements (minus 4 degrees Celsius in winds exceeding 50 mph) without even the meager protection afforded by a sailplane fuselage. Public Service Announcement: No gliders, hang gliders, or pilots were harmed during the making of this film. All maneuvers were performed by highly experienced pilots and should not be attempted without appropriate training or flight experience. N.B. Always communicate and coordinate with the pilots of other aircraft before flying in close proximity situations. Respect all ridge soaring rules and FAA/JAA/NAA/CAA/etc. regulations. Never soar the ridge at 2x in Real Life. Interested in flying sailplanes or hang gliders?

J&A Behind the Scenes in HD! from Amir on Vimeo. We wanted to make our first HD Jake and Amir a good one, so we ran two ideas by our coworkers: "Make Believe" and "Jacket." This is us "pitching them" the one we ended up using. It's a good look into how half baked our ideas are before we actually start shooting. You can see the final product here: http://www.vimeo.com/342968 Cast: Amir, Jake Hurwitz, amandalynferri, sarah schneider and Patrick Cassels

A Devil on my Desk from Tony Torn on Vimeo. Year 2011. End times at hand. Too many Messiahs. The Grand Inquisitor will help you decide. But who is that devil on his desk? THE GRAND INQUISITOR is a five part film updating Dostoevsky’s mystical fable to a future, Fox network style reality. In our adaptation, the second coming has arrived in the form of a radical African-American messiah, and the Network/Church/Government is seen in the teaser looking through auditions for a more acceptable replacement Jesus that they can rush into the marketplace to offset the disruptive influence of the “false prophet”.

Macro bubbles from Lucasberg on Vimeo. I was shooting some pictures of this and when I was done I tried some video and I'm glad I did.

Evacuating Myspace Before It Recycles from universe on Vimeo. The arrival of the Next Level of websites, such as Virb, Flickr, Vimeo, Facebook, and Twitter, is joyously very significant to us at "Stephen's Gate®." Our Older Member in the Evolutionary Level Above Human (the "Kingdom of Heaven") has made it clear to us that these websites' approach is the "marker" we've been waiting for -- the time for the arrival of the spacecraft from the Level Above Human to take us home to "Their World" -- in the literal Heavens. Our years of classroom here on Myspace are finally coming to their conclusion -- "graduation" from the Human Evolutionary Level. We are happily prepared to leave Myspace. If you understand the metaphysical level of social networking, you will hopefully understand our joy and what our purpose on Myspace has been. Consider taking your "boarding pass" to leave with us during this brief "window!" We fully desire, expect, and look forward to boarding a spacecraft from the Next Level very soon (in our physical bodies). Cast: universe, uncleboatshoes
