POSSIBLE

We’re wrapping up our work on the Deadmau5 show so we thought it would be a good time to give everyone a taste of the live experience. Enjoy!

POSSIBLE teamed up with killer director Nathan Cox for deathcore band Suicide Silence’s “You Only Live Once” blood-soaked music video. It was a badass POSSIBLE team. I produced while Ish the magician conquered post-production. The video was released July 12, 2011 on guvera.com and has already garnered quite the response, also thanks to it’s re-release on youtube July 18th.

The blogs were all over the release. The responses went something like this:

Thank you allichs. We think so too.

Our friend Surya Buchwald wrote an article for CDM about the Glitch Mob show we just did. Check it out! The Glitch Mob is touring through the summer.

Our work on the Black Veil Brides music video is available on youtube. In two weeks the film managed to break the 1,000,000 viewer mark! POSSIBLE created 218 visual effects shots over the course of 3 weeks for this film. Check it out:

I don’t think I could have picked a more opposite place of Marquette if I had tried. Everything from the direction I turn my key to lock my door, to how people drive on the freeway, to the fact that I even have to lock my door is different. Not to mention that freeways in LA are emphasized by adding a “The” in front of the number when in Marquette the freeways aren’t even important enough to know the names of.

While the differences are challenging and I literally have no idea what could happen every time I leave my apartment, it’s exciting to try and figure out what normal is here. For example, girls (and one guy) with long, kool-aid red hair: normal. Traffic at 2pm on a Saturday: normal. Convenient parking: definitely not normal. A 40 year old guy following me into Best Buy asking me if I needed help carrying my one target bag: I’m thinking not normal, but like I said, still trying to figure that out. Finding $10 on the streets: hopefully normal… It’s happened to me twice here and it’s something I could get used to.

I know how small Marquette is but I didn’t realize it until seeing how big L.A. is. Marquette’s in Michigan’s upper peninsula, home of millions of trees and Northern Michigan University, where I just finished my sophomore year. There are about 5 things to do in Marquette, depending on the weather, which is cold and or snowy for over half the year. They are study, hike, hockey (play or watch since that is the only decent sports team Northern has to offer) snowboard and drink. Combinations generally encouraged.

I like going into work at Possible not knowing exactly what I’ll be doing everyday. That’s one thing I hated about my classes at Northern. The same daily routines… I get bored easily and have too much ADD to be sitting there doing the same thing every week. I’m also finding that I like learning from artists in action rather then artists in teacher form. I feel like I’m learning rather then being taught which for some reason makes a difference to me.

One thing that will be hard getting used to but will help me out in the long run is working on a team. I can think of one in-class art project where we had to work in pairs and everything else I did on my own. Lucky for me, I get to work with very talented artists in an environment where I can contribute my creativity, while learning as much as I can from them. Sounds like a good combination to me.

We worked with Director Nathan Cox to compose 218 visual effects shots for the Black Veil Brides newest music video “Fallen Angels”. The video depicts a post-apocalyptic 1980s Los Angeles. Check out the trailer:

I might have been overly ambitious Saturday evening.

Following a wonderfully boozy Easter brunch, I headed over to the National History Museum of Los Angeles County for Cinepspia’s “Cave of Forgotten Dreams: Herzog Premiere and Museum-Wide Party.” Having not really investigated the details of the event before arriving, for the first hour I toured the taxidermy of “the African hall of mammals” while sipping a vodka soda my friend bought with “tickets.” The film was rsvp, so it wasn’t until it had ended were we able to explore the stage and screening room set up in the “whale room.” Somehow I ended up with a green stripe on my face made from a clay face mask that a scantily-clad and stoned volunteer worker painted on my nose as proof of my entrance to a ramshackle cave room that had been made with sheer black nets. If you can’t imagine it from that run-on sentence, don’t worry, I didn’t get it while I was there.

Growing restless, we ended up at the “gem room” where the collective dublub were performing some sets, and I thoroughly enjoying trancing and staring at the angles and sparkle of the various “rocks.” I want my own Dark Crystal.

Back to the whale room, Herzog was speaking about art, his dislike of Picasso, and his growing dissatisfaction with the art community. After 10 minutes, we headed out past the ice cream and tempura food trucks located at the entrance and were on to the next event. Little did I know we were missing the bands set to perform incl. Nite Jewel, Islands, White Magic, and Matt Baldwin. Oh well. The next event of the evening blew everything away.

Explosions in the Sky’s “Take Care: 6 Visual Interpretations” at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery is now probably my favorite memory of LA. Six artists produced installations located all around the grounds that were backed by different tracks from the band’s forthcoming album “Take Care, Take Care.” Not only is the cemetery beautiful at night, but the epic music of Explosions creates an ethereal quality to walking around among the mausoleums and gravestones, palm trees and fountains.

Our longtime friend Ryan Costa directed a music video for the talented Amy Kuney. Give it a gander and send it to your friends. All proceeds from the album go towards Global Green – a group that’s trying to solve the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.

Last night, POSSIBLE showed off it’s visuals at Wolfgang Gartner’s new show. Check out the video to see samples from two of the songs (Undertaker and Illmerica) done by our very own Ish and Steve.
