Jeanine – Ballédanse @ BJC07

July 1st, 2009

On the front page of JTV at the moment is MoM’s very own Jeanine, rocking the British Juggling Convention 2007 – higher resolution and download link available on JTV.

An Instant bodyrolling classic. The audience is about 2000 and that sounds like me cheering VERY loudly at the end of the routine. Perfect, she totally nailed the performance, so good we even clapped for the web video 2 years later!

We’ve been a bit slack on posting videos from the new JTV, the new content they have been rolling out recently is golden juggling and manipulation.

Friday Fun: Gremlins take over the movies!

June 19th, 2009

YouTube Preview Image
File under Digital Manipulation.

Watch in amazement as Sascha Feiner seamlessly edits the gremlins into several major films including Batman, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and more.

This is amazing to me!
