He lives in the Slope, he reads OTBKB and he makes 30-second videos about his life. His video blog is called 30: Second:Life and you should check it out.

The blog is about my day to day interactions with the world and set to music. I shoot tons of footage with a small video camera, edit it down to 30 seconds. Much of the footage takes place in the Slope.

I love the idea of it. 30 second glimpses into a life set to music. It’s fun to hear the music he selects, and the images he edits together.

As a former film/video editor, it always amazes me how much can happen in 30 seconds; you can really tell a story if you do it right

In 30:Second:Life, I love the casual/random nature of the images that communicate something poignant and real. It’s fun to see the familiar one’s, fun to guess (Hey that looks familiar, I know where that is, where is that?).
