Vinh Diep’s Weblogs. | A vision of the world through one man’s eyes….

What a wonderful world.

Whoops, I haven’t updated in a few days.  Lets see what I have been up to.  I met up with the beautiful Lindsay Hightower for lunch last week.  Had a great time chatting it up with her as usual.  Her website that I am currently designing will be launching possibly next month, after I finish up the “Everyday Love” music video.  I will be working with Lindsay on another music video project, using one of her original songs.  Can’t wait to get started with that project, as I always enjoy working with her.

Thirty of my “peoples” and I went to Medieval Times in Dallas Saturday night.  That place was freaking awesome!!! Kinda expensive but awesome!!!  We had the Green Knight, BEST KNIGHT EVER!!  He totally kicked ass, but he was the villan lol.  The dude was like 8 feet tall, not really, I’m just short haha.

Nothing else is new, besides trying to get the right adapters for my video camera before the principal photography starts.  Oh, and my green screen should be arriving home soon.

Everyday Love by Micheal Rappe

I am finalizing my production schedule for the “Everyday Love” music video for Micheal Rappe. This production will be the first for me in my home town of Muskogee, OK. We are getting the final permits for the locations we chose for the music video.

I had missed my KFM class this past Monday, because of a business meeting that night. The KFM class continued to video Nard from 102.1 KDGE’s progression in our Trophy Fitness class. I also skipped my usual Tuesday workout to concentrate on the production of Micheal Rappe music video, that I am currently producing and directing.

Today I had lunch with Producer Vu Nguyen of Bluelight Pictures, to talk about our current and future projects together. I have two music videos I am currently producing that Mr. Nguyen will be involved with. Mr. Nguyen is currently producing a short film that will be submitted for a spring film fest.

I will be having lunch with Lindsay Hightower this Friday and will be going over another possible music video idea. Lindsay is an amazing actress, singer/song writer and performer. I have a few ideas for a music video for her. A few local bands in DFW and Austin, have also express interest in working with me for there music videos as well. I didn’t think that many artist would express so much interest in me as a director. I just home everything I do goes smoothly these next couple of months.

BOOMER SOONER!!!  As for my photography, I’ve been working on a few techniques and will be posting new photos soon.  I really hope these will blow you away.  Other then that I have been researching and playing around with video editing.  I came across some amazing music videos on Vimeo today.   They were shot with none other then a Sanyo xacti HD1000, the very same HD camcorder I own.  I will post the videos below so you guys can see for yourself.  The music is great too.  I would really like to try to shoot a music video like this.  If you guys know of any local bands who would want to work with me on a video like please please let me know!
