THURSDAY: Viva Corita!

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Sister Corita was a highly influential and inspirational art teacher and nun who created controversial pop art in Los Angeles during the 60’s. Earlier this year I edited a short film directed by Aaron Rose with a score by Money Mark to commemorate what would have been Corita’s 90th birthday. Today the art of Sister Corita will be on display and for sale at Landis Gifts & Stationery in Hollywood’s Larchmont Village. A percentage of sales all day will benefit the Corita Art Center.

Here’s an excerpt of the “ABC” song from our short film Become a Microscope-90 Statements on Sister Corita (music by Money Mark and Becky Stark of Lavender Diamond. Title design by Keith Scharwath. Motion graphics by Max Erdenberger, Alex Dervin, and Miguel Bautista. Produced by Jon Barlow and Arlo Rosner):

Avi Youabian Flashes Forward

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Today I’ll be chumping out a few friends who’s hard work is currently hitting your home entertainment picture tubes as well as the internets.

First up is fellow film editor Avi Youabian and the new ABC hit series he’s one of the editors on, Flash Forward. I’ve seen Avi come up through the ranks of (the now defunct) Brass Knuckles Editorial as an intern in the early 2000’s, where I quickly bestowed the nickname “Aviwood” upon him knowing full well that he’d someday be working in the Hollywood studio system based on his tenacity, hustle, and of course his excitable fast talking style. He then went on to edit the Oscar winning short film West Bank Story in 2005 and a couple of Cold Case and 90210 episodes later he’s on to another hit. Catch up on what you may have missed before his episode of Flash Forward (titled “Black Swan”) premieres two Thursdays from now on October 15th!

Watch Flash Forward Thursdays at 8/7c on ABC or full episodes online at ABC.com.
