[shadoman]

That made my day... wishing I was there as well.

[Cthogua]

"YAAARRRR!" He howls into the night at his disappointment for not being able to attend...However some hope shines over the horizon as he watches Oblio's video and lives vicariously through it :-) Thank you Oblio...someday I'll get to meet you crazy people.

[Ostrander]

Oblio, that was a friggan awesome video!
I wish I was there.

[Jason Manley]

oblio,
you are really good at editing, man!

The music too? I thought it was some of that stuff Wes was listening to at Montreal...


Thanks Oblio, this is radical...

And DAMN Coro has a nice pad.

[Darktwin]

Wow Oblio, thats awesome, great stuff I'll see you later this evening.

[Oblio]

Thank you so much guys.
I just finished the movie of the first day - i missed half of the 2nd day already... but.. i feel it's worthy.
I had to rush everything - i dont have space on my lap, am doing everything in small pieces and that drags quality like hell. I badly need a bood monitor - preview is done on a small small window and only going trough 3 tapes for 10 minutes takes too long.
We went to bed at 6 am and i happened to wake up at 7:30 :)
Thank you SO much for your feedback. I managed to read it now. The internet connection was not available at the workshop - i managed to find a lost cable and .. miracle - it juices internet. SO here i am.. uploading again.
I guess it's your good luck.

I have missed a lot of moments - fire breathers and so on.
HOwever - it's the best workshop ever. Hands down.
The ice breaked in the first inutes - everyone is much more relaxed and communicative.
The demos turned instantly in dialogs - everyone is asking questions and everyone gets in tough with everyone.

If you're here at the workshop and havent' said HI yet... you only have one more day :p

I guess you guys will see how thigs started.
The party and the set up was realy inspiring - and so after the whole thing got lucrative, everybody was pumped.
I wish i could have danced more though :) :)

Finaly we have enough projectors and equipment and tons of artist around.


I am not sure i will manage to make another movie until tomorrow - i have other things planned - i need to stick my tail into this workshop too.
I hope you enjoyed these - i wish i had the luxury to do them properly.
Yours,

Oblio

see you on the weekly activities...

Now.. Concept!

[ricksmith]

Fantastic work Oblio!

[sve]

Thank you again, good control of viewer attention in the video, very entertaining, good tempo... My favorite is the fragment with a model in red fluffy shorts, she looked great, very picturesque.
If it is possible would be great to see more people faces who attended the workshop... So much fun to recognize them suddenly. Thank you again, the video is very smooth and so much fun to watch,I watched it twice. Especially like the music from the first video to the last one...

[Dan.v.D.]

before ya know it ya'll will end up in some dark cave in oblios hometown awaiting a sick and highly unpleasant execution.
mark my words guys!

[m@.]

Wow thanks a lot Oblio !

[squidmonk3j]

Chaos

[Helzon]

Serious props Oblio....thanks so much for this.

[Flake]

Cool vids, thanks for posting them Oblio.

[Lone Wolf]

THanks for the videos! Good job on the editing.:yayca:

[Cookiedough]

Great job, Oblio. I'm getting green with jealousy here. True insomaniacs you guys are.

[Crush]

Oh man, thank you so much for these, looks awesome there!! :D

Cool to hear what all you guys sound like :)

ps kickass hat oblio, where from? XD

[Jabo]

Thank you so much for sharing this, Oblio. As said before, your movies are a blast. Really cool, it's reducing the pain of not being there. Looks like the workshops are growing from one to the other. I just hope it will still be as familial next year...

Oh and: Nice outfit. Although I have to admit that I'd rather not want to meet you in a dark alley or a closed room. ;)

[Carnifex]

wow...now that i've seen a better portion of that second video (DAMN my slow internet connection) i've gotta say this is beyond awesome. the way the music fits with the vid,the way everything is cut together...one beer you say? dude,i'm gonna get you wasted :D
but do i ever need to brush up my spoken english,i can't understand half of what they're saying :tihi:

edit: seeing second video now. o m g,this is surreal. did you really hire all those guys? am i seeing the right things? man,i may just bash my head in some times after beholding this beauty. cherrrrist guys,you've outdone yourselves. wow. oh,and love that i'm able to see some familiar faces. oblio,can't thank you enough. keep it up :)

edit2: that singer's face seems really familiar for some reason.

[guggemmaneuver]

but...

What the heck is that thing walking down the sidewalk at ~~05:35???? hehe gotta love san fran's huge population of certified freakazoids :heart:

g

[sishir]

well that good news about Marko and Coro, very happy for you guys :P

Please bring something back from insomania for us here who cant come :(

[t i m]

Very, very cool video Oblio! I gotta say that looks amazing, trully wish I coulda been there. Definetly will make a effort to make the next one.

P.S. When Andrew picked up that sword was anyone else thinking "Arrrrrr Matey!" Hell ya Andrew! :android:

[Main Loop]

when do we get to see the videos of milligan and foster riding the unicycle with the flat tire??

[Icon]

:P I'm glad something like this happened. from pictures alone it truly seems like a blend of art, and our own imaginations come to life....and HOLY DAMN even people from Cirque du Solei was there!? I can only hope rome is as exciting! If not send me another Insomania!

Cannot wait for the next video full of familiar faces! Wonderful work Oblio,you have the golden video touch.....;p

[[DAN]]

fratii tai din Romania vor sa iti transmita ca prieteneste desigur suntem foarte invidiosi pe tine. Awesome job Oblio , can't wait to meet u again get some wine and hear&see what was Insomania like :)

[Wilderness]

Right on Oblio! Almost as cool as being there. You really captured the craziness of it. You should work with the Massive Black video team!

[bleistift]

cant wait to see all the raw stuff you filmed.
thank you for all the work!

[GriNGo]

I think Oblio already does work for them.. by the way man, you're crazy! nice editing and content, the videos are just amazing to watch!

later,
GriNGoLoCo

[o0Dave0o]

I'm going to join the ranks in thanking you Oblio for putting together these videos! For people like us who were not able to go, it is something very important to see. I can't wait till the next event I can make it out to. Jeez Cirque du Soleil and everything...makes Montreal look like afternoon tea!
Cheers,
Dave

[Jessica Hook]

....and HOLY DAMN even people from Cirque du Solei was there!?
The performers were not from Cirque Du Soleil, they're from Cirque Bizerk, "the circus for the Misled, the Misunderstood and the generally Maladjusted." :)

[Jason Manley]

actually there were cirque du solei folks there....the gentleman doing the silks for example...

[Icon]

:D it's still innovative to think of a circus gang inside of an art workshop, how's that for some damn inspiration!!!
I have my fingers crossed hoping that Italy is this exciting or more!

[Hybridstar]

<3 More methinks and then some!, cant wait for it. Any fixed idea of the city and date yet? I love CA i do, i love it. You are my inspiration and exasperation all at the same time, the way it sould be. All hail oblio and all hail the next european workshop.

[Slash]

I wouldnt count on Italy being more spectacular, since San fran after all IS their backyard. Its a little easier to pull strings in your home town than some foreign city where you have no contacts and stuff.


Although one can hope! :D

Speaking of spectacular, great work oblio! thats two beers on me! ;)

[Silvi~e.]

I suggest to replace the beer with some good red wine and maybe he will give us some more videos:)

Multumesc :bashful:

S.

[scarlet]

maybe white wine would be better! Lots of it and get crazy!!!

[Idiot Apathy]

Main Loop: Whatwhatwhat? You were there, why didn't I meet you :(. That unicycle was the best haha, would have been so bad if someone hurt their painting arms though @_@.

Oblio: Was so great to meet you man, you're such a pimp. :D

Me! I'm on TV! or something. 17 seconds in, that semi-normal looking guy on the right - next to Mr. Blonde. That sidewalk was cold.

[joelhinxman]

[skvv]

I <3 Oblio!!! hehehe may we always have the chairs.

[davi]

and the bruises the chairs caused

[Oblio]

5 minutes ago i landed in Romania. I managed to edit some of day2 & day 3 in the plane but there is still a llot of work to do.

in the plane i was seated along with a deported guy and the FBI guard - with a big gun :) fun trip.

I have to excuse myself for the upcomming one - i don;t have so much footage - i tried to paint a bit too and i also took a pose for Ron and Vanessa - thank you guys.
Also - with Phill Holland (the one) we tried to set up a photo session - and well.. i got myself busy with other things.
Yet.. one more video is comming ;) hopefully in about 24 hours from now (i had no sleep in the last 23 :) )

Thank you so much for your feedback.
Thanks to all who give a hand (big hughs to skvv & davi) - thx all who got to talk to me.
I wished i could talk with everyone! I miss you all.
And huge thx to all my MB buddies and to my frate Andrew who was just amazing.
Big thx to all the models and the performers and to all the Obscura guys who were alienly nice, to all the vidoe and photo people, DJ's and TO YOOOOOOOOUUUUU AAAAALLLLL.

You made it such an experience.

[Coen]

Thanks alot Oblio, take your time. One thing's for sure, next workshop I'm gonna be there too... bleh

:D

[BRAT_777]

Wow, great job Oblio!! Amazing that you were able to do all that in such a short amount of time.

[Jason Manley]

oblio we can possibly get you some footage to work with...we have about 20 hours or so filmed at least..haha. Let me know if you need it and I will relay to the guys to get it ready for you.

J

[silvestri99]

Oblio, great job on those vids, they really do capture the vibe that was going on there at the workshop. I can't wait to see more and show them off to those freinds who didn't know if they wanted to spend the money on the trip or not. I would also like to see if anyone had footage of the demos or painting seesions to put up for viewing. what little i have I'll try and get up in the next couple of days. Thanks everyone.!

[otis]

Jason and Oblio,

If you guys can get that lechture (more like comedy scene) by Dan online it would be great!

[Steph Laberis]

Oblio: I can't believe you haven't found a use for the footage of me explaining furry pr0n yet ;)

Stellar editing all around, it was great to see you again hon. Keep Tampy close to your heart...

[Oblio]

But i did... it's in the next ep... yet as i was expecting - at home i have even less tiem than i had at the workshop - i hae half o ft movie eddited and no time to finish - i ran into tech issues too.. all a mess. it will come eventually.
thx for support.

As for Dan .. yeah.. i missed shooting that on SF... (i was edditing at that time) but i know what you are talking about.
We should see what footage is available.
After i clear up a bit of time - i'll be willing to edit that ;)
I need about a month to settle whatever is running after me right now.

Oblio is still working on it...

[chaosrocks]

oblio is the hero of all vicarious WS attendees everywhere.... waiting with baited breath,,, and perhap a little drool...

chaos

[Mr Man]

W00t Wonder how those vids are coming along dude! Man my bloods pumping just thinking about insomania again. Missing everyone badly!!!

[Oblio]

shoot - it's been a month already? i worked a bit more few days ago.. scrapping trough the bits of footage .. as i said.. the last days.. i tried to enjoy a bit the WS and i dont have too much... and also.. i am SO bussy.. everytime i get into the edditing.. feels like.. a rush job.
I will finish the last one shortly and then ask for more footage - not shot by me. I would love to make a Milligan Presentation ;)
Just give me another week or so.
thx,

Oblio

[Layil]

[silvestri99]
