Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Look at that photo credit. I wonder which photo it is…? Anyone know? I think it’s me. I never saw this, but I did shoot Mr T Experience before, so I hope it’s a good one! If anyone has it, show me a pic! It was a great time when I was shooting bands every week. I used to shoot at least 5 times a month. Maybe even more and it was mostly or always live shows which seemed to happen super often.

I put it all together and get them all up. James Kochalka's interview with Martin as the host as part of his Little Paintings 3 art exhibition at GR2. He played music live, and that "concert" video that's in four parts because it's about 16 minutes total. Watch one, watch them all. He came all the way to LA from Burlington, Vermont!

I put it all together and get them all up. James Kochalka’s interview with Martin as the host as part of his Little Paintings 3 art exhibition at GR2. He played music live, and that “concert” video that’s in four parts because it’s about 16 minutes total. Watch one, watch them all. He came all the way to LA from Burlington, Vermont!

If you bought MC Jin’s latest Hong Kong release ABC, then you might have seen the dvd it came with it. Terence and I produced the three videos for the album and I directed this one. This song is about Jin and his family but it’s also the story of an immigrant family but it’s also about just trying to get by in life. Which unless you were born rich, most people must struggle with. I thought the lyrics were great because they were intensely personal yet very universal at the same time. Since Jin was releasing his first album in Hong Kong, I wanted to take him out of the American Chinatown environment that he grew up in and place him right into the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong, like he belonged there. Because of a super limited budget, I kept the video as simple as possible so that you, as the viewer, can just focus on his words. So it’s just a simple stedi-cam shot of Jin walking home from a long day of work telling you his story. Every man’s struggle, Every man’s life.

We won this award. Who presented it? The US Local Business Association. Who are they? If you go to their site, all they want is for you to put in your code number to access your award plaque. There are some business tips, but I don't know how legit they are. Do they even know what GR2 is? What's with the China communist emblem? We're not even a book store. I wonder how many people fall for this...
