Rjd2 - Work It Out

This is the video for Rjd2's "Work It Out" from 'The Third Hand' (XL Recordings). 


The vid features Bill Shannon who was born with a degenerative hip condition. His legs cannot carry his own weight and so he has lived a life on crutches. He has developed a new way of moving through life on his skateboard and the crutches. 


The video, directed by Joey Garfield, is one continuous single shot for the length of the song.

Oscar Reactions

I'm upset that God of Love won best short. It was a really good short, I admit, but The Confession should have won.

Sorry Banksy

I'm surprised Alice in Wonderland has won so many awards. The costumes seemed obvious, although well done.

Video editing better than the Black Swan? Looking back though, The Social Network was very well done.

It's not the load that brings you down, it's the way you carry it. was a wonderful quote

Directing called it!

Randy Newman....

Best picture called it. 

My Oscar predictions

Some categories have multiple movies selected (usually 1 underlined and 1 not). If there are more than 2 (other than best picture), it means I haven't seen enough of the selected films to decide.
Underline = Which one I predict the Academy will choose.
Not Underlined = Which one was my favorite.
In the case of best picture, I think the underlined film will win although the bold italicized film (in my opinion) was better. The third film was my choice.
