LOCAL POLITICIAN
Here’s another installment of Arowana Friday, where every Friday we feature either a brand new or an old video we’ve done in the past and give it the back story just for you guys. Today we want to feature “Local Politician” made in 2008 during the CRAZY election times.
The San Diego Asian American Film Festival was having a video contest “Reel in the Vote” to see if someone could make a 30 second PSA to help encourage Asian Americans to vote. Of course, every election there was always an issue of Asian Americans never having a voice because we never bothered to vote. (we, as in the younger generation) With Obama and Hillary running for Democratic Election and then the Presidency, there was an obvious need for us Asian Americans to REPRESENT! So we decided to send a message to HIT very hard to that target audience, young Asian Americans who just don’t give a f@%$! And so this video was then created by that inspiration.

HANDS UP BY ESTAIRY
Arowana Friday! This music video was done by our camp a couple years ago. The artist, Estairy, is a long time childhood friend. We wanted to create a reality that combined both urban structures with elements of the natural world. The decision to use old footage from the movie, Koyaanisqatsi by Godfrey Reggio, was made because of two basic reasons. One to incorporate a beautiful background space for the tone of this project. And the other was to make a general statement about Hip Hop. Hip Hop’s roots were founded in the sampling of old music and remixing them so that they make for a modern tone and perspective. This music video was done in that same theory-to sample old footage and remix it. We wanted to incorporate a different perspective and re-introduce this amazing work to a new audience. The video starts off in the urban environment that we know so well and then travels to the environment that many of us don’t know so well-nature.

PISCES PROJECT CONTINUATION
Its Arowana Friday BOYEEE! Every Friday we feature some work we’ve done in the past or projects we want to launch. Kinda like our own film festival. But we also talk about the making and the behind of the scenes of it. For a special treat, we got two new videos for you this Friday. About a month ago, we showcased the Pisces Project to you. Something experimental and cool since shooting fish is soooo easy to do. But to try and convey a story with them is the challenge. Here’s the first video we did.
