      <description><![CDATA["Eddie man it was a pleasure to know you my brother. I'll never forget skating Downtown Oakland together. Or what a great family youhad with Deb and your son. A real honest to goodness down brother, humble and supportive and unique. You will not be forgotten."Cory Shaw"I’m gonna miss Eddie for a real long time, one of my favorite people in the world. Quintessential Leo. Conquering Lion. Such awesome human being. Such an inspiration. I dont think Eddie had any enemies at least none that I knew of. It took a stranger to do this, if they knew him even just a little, they couldnt have done it. This Tragedy wont be but a blip to the rest of the world, but it will have lasting reverberations. Long live Eddie " I Lush " Campbell!"Ariel ShepardEddie was murdered senselessly in Puerto Rico while on vacation for a Bachelor party at an after hours bar. This bar called "The Vibe"in San Juan stays open till 8 or 9am so all the PR thugs can go there and don't get searched. They claim the shooter wasn't even 21.Everyone who knows how gentle and full of humour and fun Eddie was, knows that if he was involved in any altercation it was himdefending on of his boys. So a coward killed a US citizen for no reason and PR newspapers have nothing to say and justice seemsnot to concern the local cops. Please help us BRING JUSTICE TO OUR FRIEND! WATCH THIS CBS VIDEO REPORT AND YOU TOOWILL BE OUTRAGED!!     Check the site for my man and donate to the family if you have it like that: http://www.eddiemacocampbell.com  ]]></description>

      <link>www.thecauseffect.com/C32921437/E20080314175110/index.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Old Buildestroy partner in crime Steve Marcus  has really outdone himself from our early days of animating together. One of the firstAfter Effects jobs I ever did was with Smarcus. He got us the gig to make a cartoon for The Red Hot Chili Peppers world tour stage show, for the song Californication. Later that year they played it on MTV Music Awards when the Chili Peppers performed that song.Well Mr. Smarcus had put some really raunchy words in Japanese during one part, and MTV Asia played it all the way through tothe horror of thousands of proper japanese families and of course MTV. But they never asked our permission to show it so take that.Years later we haven't grown up much and Steve's latest offering is an amazing world that he created called 3 Thug Mice.  It followsthe exploits of NYC's nastiest critters starring some of the illest characters in the known world. From Kool G Rap and RA the Rugged Man to Min, Fuzz, and Ket. Each week brings a new episode of hilarious shit, you gotta watch to understand how Steve's humor goesdown. So check it here on the weekly: 3thugmice.com. There's been talk of turning it all into a feature film too so help support. Oh yeah my favorite part of the site is this crazy scene with the whole cast. Roll over each one and click to hear a soundbite fromthe actor. It's tight and he's got some real underground people on this joint. There's also a Flash game where you have to blast onpiglet cops and turn them into ham.  ]]></description>

      <link>www.thecauseffect.com/C41258218/E20080314175036/index.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Did color tweaking and some title animations with Buildestroy collaborator Miguel (BOUNCE) Perez for our boy Eli Jacobs-Fantauzzi.The group is VIP / Vizion in Progress from Ghana Africa and the sound is real dope. It's a mix of African Highlife and Hip Hop. To me it's realreminiscent of Dancehall but definitely has it's own variations. Very melodic and the catchiest hooks, these kids are real tight. The videowas shot in 3 parts between LA, NYC, and Ghana. We created 3 different looks for each section with the color palettes and title styles thatfit each region. Eli is currently finishing the Documentary about this movement called "Home Grown - Hip Life in Ghana" check for it soon. ]]></description>

      <link>www.thecauseffect.com/C41258218/E20080314174735/index.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The music video we directed for the Grouch’s new single ARTSY is finally ready for release with his new album. It’s a Youtube  burner, hilarious lyrics &amp; animations. Shot entirely green screen and treated in only the most ARTSY of ways..We got to imitate our favorite ARTSY spots and touch upon all the cliche's of hip design. To further our social experiment in ARTSYNESS we ask you to watch the Youtube version and order the hires from Itunes next week. The PARANOID OR CONSERVATIVE VIEWER may be confused by the ARTSY video's persistent presence and condemn it as an underground cult with extremely subversive intentions. The ARTSY video is none of that. The ARTSY movement can best be explained as an experiment in ARTOLOGY.  This experiment is being conducted through the portals of social ART known as Youtube and Myspace. We also are offering a high res version on Itunes in the coming weeks. So please help support, as fine ART ain't cheap.  With that said here is our ARTSY offering to all of hipsterdom. We salute you from SIlverlake to Williamsburg. Lots of greenscreen fun, we clown in a range of styles of the ARTSYEST nature. Secret History directed, Buildestroy designed and animated, ReelRoots shot and edited, The Grouch rapped. A family affair, looking forward to more.  ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Oh yes 2 of my favorite artists and close friends together again. The last time we were in SF togetherwas in 2002 for their collab show at 111 Minna, after we had all been on the road with Galactic doingthe Sight of Sound tour. I was filming the whole thing and documenting the rockstar painter mashup.This show promises to be extra crazy. Buildestroy will be creating projections for the show and installations.Also will premiere some pieces from the Ghetto Defender film with Doze. Come check us Bay Area Massive!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRtmS6P-i9M "Rubicon Sun"Thursday December 13, 2007at Fifty24SF Gallery in San Francisco (252 Fillmore Street @ Haight)"For Rubicon Sun, David Ellis and Doze Green present an exhibitionthey have been training for their entire lives. It's an installationcombining every discipline and material imaginable that weavesdrawing, painting, sculpture, music, kinetic movement, sound, light,projection and film. It's a memorial to a magic porthole filled withtrumpets whose signal is now jammed, it's a glimpse at the last daysof the worst four letter word in our vocabulary, and a nod towards afuture on the other side of the river that lays down it's sword andshield and looks again to the sun for wisdom."Raised in North Carolina, David Ellis' work explores music and soundthrough improvised live painting sessions he calls "motion painting"as well as through kinetic installation. He has exhibited atcontemporary art museums and galleries both nationally andinternationally.New York City-native, Doze Green has roots firmly planted in the soilof street culture as a graffiti legend--the "King of Characters"--andas an original member of the Rock Steady Crew. His career in art beganin 1974 when he started painting on the streets of NYC and has sinceseen his work included in many public and private collections acrossthe world. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[My good friend John Narun was CD at Venano, Inc. on the project of creating a jumbo screenfilm for each song on the album to compliment the stage show. So with Jason Whitmore freshoff of the Ipod light streak spot he did at Exopolis we  got to do the graffiti handstyle streaksthat we've all been waiting to see. Who cares about abstractions, let the streaks have meaning.Oh yeah Sprint jumped everyone else on that one, except us, and ours was for Xtina so nowwhat? Buildestroy didn't animate any of this, we just caught tags and throw ups and abstractedwildstyle letters. My LA homie Trixter  got down with me on this one too.PS: It's 4 minutes long and 23 MB, I won't be hurt if you only last 1/2 way through..http://www.buildestroy.com/XTINA.mov  ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Virgin Islands has a strong roots and culture Reggae movement like none other. The artists are different from Jamaican artists, not to say in any way better, as all of my favorite singers come from JA, until now. My fam Child from Project Groundationhas been consistently working with VI artists on his albums lately and they alwayscome with some real talk and very intelligent analysis. Also the music and flow takesme back to the Reggae my parents listened to growing up but also very current andforward.

      <description><![CDATA[Asif Mian aka EVAQ  from Queens, NY is killing it. This video actually tops his last one for The Roots "Trilogy" (3 videos)which I thought was bonkers already. This kid is the one to watch, if I ever thought about having a partner in Buildestroyit would be him. Also this dude High Priest is from Anti Pop Consortium and now solo, so check his work out too. Niceness.I don't know where to begin about how dope this video is so I won't, it just is. My favorite part is the "Skuf" tags from 1999in the background, Brooklyn stand up. It's all in the details and Asif is extremely mindful of them. Grimey, perfect mix oflive action and Vis-FX and all very "in camera" feeling. Pop yourself a bottle son.    ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[We did another motion painting piece. This time we wanted to have a bit of a story that would speak to the themes of the LALIFF Festival. This year the themes were focused on the idea of the Harvest, also of coming of age, and the youth. They also were also honoring a Mexican actor and had a night of Lucha Libre. We wanted to be able to speak to these ideas as well as tie in the concept of the dreamer and following your dreams and the struggle that ensues with this life path. The filmaker like the Luchador fights every day to make his film. The result is growth and the Harvest is of your creations.We shot the painting in the stopmotion Barnstormers bird's eye tradition for 2 days, and then edited and composited for 2 weeks. The environments were all 3D using our photography. The piece was a huge hit at the festival, and we had a great time making it. I painted alongside Miguel Perez on this one. My beautiful wife Jeni blesses the screen at the end. I shared the creative duties with Fidel at Kr8tive Guns and the sound was done by AZ. Thanks to LALIFF for the chance to make this.  http://www.buildestroy.com/LALIFF.mov   ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The week of June 11-17 was a rainy mess in NYC. My flight from LA took over 18 hours and involved me renting and driving a car from Philly to NY. Together with Heroic, 3RingCircus, Wondermint, and Network I threw a party for the good people who attended the BDA/Promax event. All I can say is prayersdo get answered as the rain forecast miraculously went from 80% chance to 0% on the day of our party.This matters because Buildestroy's parties usually involve live music and live art. To do these thingsproperly we needed to be outside, on a rooftop, in the middle of Times Square! Check the results:My family in NY is strong so there was a good presence of artists and musicians. Not to mention the industryfolks who showed up and had a great time. Open bar usually leads to a good time by all...Thanks to everyone who showed up, next year will be even better! ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I've always said that if  I was modeling BUILDESTROY after anyone it would be Motion Theory. Simply for the fact that they reinvent themselves and their aesthetic each time and work with fine artists in such an amazing collaborative way. I had a chance to be one of those collaborating artists with them in 2003 and it was great. They mix live action and 3Danimation in a way that shows so much attention and invention. Here's a new one from them for Modest Mouse with both Guilherme Marcondes and David Ellis involved how could it go wrong?http://www.motiontheory.com/work/modest-mouse_dashboard My good friend David Ellis aka SKWERM of the Barnstormers is a long time collaborative partner of mine. The recreation of his artwork in the video was amazing as is his paitnings, films, and sculptures. Here's  links to his work:http://www.freshwatercatfish.org/     and     http://www.b-stormers.com/ He and I have done some great works in the past including these LO FI animations for Sesame Street.http://www.buildestroy.com/motion3.html And the technique that he developed known as "motion painting", I have used in a recent network rebrand forLATV.  This time filming all of the painting on green screen so we could isolate the layers and create 3D space.(GM5 crew painting)http://www.buildestroy.com/LATV/LATV_Rebrand_web.movSKWerm used the technique most recently in the KnowAids PSA (VISFX done by Mass Market):This spot also features long time BUILDESTROY collaborator Doze Green.http://www.buildestroy.com/AIDS_PSA_WEB.mov   ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[My good friend Alain "KET" Mariduena (who happens to be the creator of the best magazine hip hop ever had: STRESS) was brought up on charges related to graffiti in NY. This dude is a NY original subway painter and went on to become very influential as a voice and consultant for the culture. He launched Complex magazine for Ecko as well as helping to keep Ecko "Getting Up" video game on point. He established a publishing company and put out some amazing books on the culture.   http://www.fromheretofame.com He's a great dad and strong positive Latino figure encouraging youth.  He's facing serious time for aesthetic crimes on circumstantial evidence. Major hard time for graffiti that he was not seen committing...There's a major crime going on in your city within 10 blocks of you right now, graffiti is the least of our worries...Most often "graffiti cleanup" is used as a fake ass way for politicians and law enforcement to SEEM as thoughthey are cleaning up CRIME.To make it worse the politicians in NY have it in for Ecko because of their graffiti video game. So halfof this battle is simply because Ket acted as a consultant to Ecko on a few projects:http:www//supportket.org/site/  ]]></description>

      <link>www.thecauseffect.com/C1042694216/E20070510151657/index.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This section is all about what Tunes are playing played out in my truck as I sit in LA traffic. This week it's been a bigDubstep week in the whip. I'm waiting to get the new Project Groundation   mixtape with Pressure. I'm doing the newPGM clothing line this week too. So big tings a gwan!So Dubstep is the latest mashup music form from the UK. It's basically Dub music, classic reggae progressions and riddims but with spaced out echoes and tweaking. It takes some of the sound library of Grime and Drum and Bass musicand adds that to Dub, which makes for crazy bass and glitchy sounds on top of classic riddims. The DJ's I like the mostare the more Roots Reggae influenced ones like Mrk1 and Juju, who use dub plates of Roots singers like Sizzla overthe ill beats. I'll put up some links and more about Dubstep. People in LA, my boys (SMOG) &amp; (TempleofBoom)  throw secret weekly dubstep parties and bigger monthly parties, I'll link the info soon. In NYC check DUBWARhttp://www.dubstepforum.com/   |  http://dubquixote.blogspot.com/   |   http://www.dqxt.org/dubwar/                        http://www.smogla.com/    |   http://www.thetempleofboom.com  ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[First entries into this catagory of motion sickness, really define what I have this blog for. Inspiration.Guilherme MarcondesThe first piece is by the new Motion Theory Art Director. A Brazilian with a good sense of creating other worlds. Please watch this piece:http://guilherme.tv/tyger/   ...so this is such an emotional and amazing piece. It really captures what I'm after with BUILDESTROY in that it mixes all mediums and creates an amazing new world. The puppet is amazing, photography beautiful, the glowing vegetation, the illustrated characters turning into animals. It's brilliant, the music, the angles ,the tempo. Masterpiece visually and storywise, turning the city back to the jungle, all things become wild!  This piece exudes power. He is one of my top 10 favorite in mograph.90 DegreesThis piece is by 3 french cats. Jules Janaud, Raphael Martinez-Bachel, Francois Roisin. No idea if they have a company together.But just watch this amazing animation. Sound design is equally as stunning in this one. To get to the film you must interact  a bit with the blue square, which will make sense after viewing.http://90degrees.free.fr/accueil.html  ....this piece is a very hard thing to do. To show the creation of man and the world in a very cubist and geometric way, is both very difficult and very fitting. They accomplished something so hard to illustrate and did it with so much drama and meaning. When he finally gets connected with his head and he becomes whole it's triumphant, only to try to exist in an ever changing and complicating world. Brilliant in message, technique, and style. These 2 pieces blew me away.Big up to my boy John Robson of Late Lunch  for showing me last week. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Currently putting the finishing touches on The Grouch's "Artsy" music video. Should be a youtube favorite, wedecided to remake the most "artsy" commercials and videos. The song is really clownin' on the hipster sceneso we wanted the visuals to take it even further. It's been alot of work but coming out real funny. Should be ready to be on the new reel in June..Also putting the finishing touches on the "Ghetto Defender" project with Doze Green's paintings turned into a 7minute animation exploration. Easily the best project I've ever been able to work on. It took funding it myself to make it happen, but such is art.  Lots of super talented audio and visual collaborators, making it happen as well.Look on buildestroy.com  for the teases as they get released.   ]]></description>
