Music video I directed for the song Classifieds, for The Academy Is... I can't remember the exact budget for this video but it was, as is apparent, very low. I think this was the third or fourth music video I ever made.The video takes place inside of a Playmobil doll house. I did all the compositing myself with longtime collaborator Andrew Ralston. This was the first time Andrew and I ever considered the possibility of compositing with miniatures, and we literally taught ourselves the process as we went along. This was a difficult video to make, at the time, but the learning experience was invaluable. (Check out my new video for The Delta Fiasco to see what a proper compositing job with miniatures looks like.)For some reason the band never released this video, I was never told why. I guess they didn't like it, or the label didn't like it. I've always felt really bad about that. There are a lot of things wrong with it, but considering all the work was done by two guys on a shoestring budget it's not THAT bad! Regardless of its shortcomings, it's fun and I think there are enough cool things that it's worth showing people.---Watch the making of the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v LvFYx3vRgLs

The Navajo Language Academy (NLA) is a non-profit educational organization comprised of linguists and language teachers who are devoted to the teaching, scientific study, and promotion of the Navajo language.Language is at the heart of the human experience and is one of our most valuable cultural resources. For indigenous peoples, language represents an immediate link to our ancestors and is a crucial element in maintaining a cultural identity after centuries of conquest and assimilation. Although Navajo is one of the only North American indigenous languages with enough remaining speakers to potentially survive, it is today an endangered language that could easily become another casualty without sufficient resources and support. While most Navajo elders still speak Navajo, recent reports indicate that fewer than 10% of Navajo four-year-olds do. Navajo is not being passed to our youngest generation. At the current rate of attrition, our language is expected to be extinct in a few more generations. If this happens, it would mean that no indigenous language in the United States or Canada will have survived the European conquest and avoided becoming a dead language.The Navajo Language Academy is working to preserve and promote the Navajo language. The NLA, comprised of Navajo linguists and language teachers with advanced training, vast experience and extreme dedication, offers intensive annual workshops on Navajo language pedagogy and linguistics. Growing enrollment in NLA workshops and the large number of articles and books authored or co-authored by NLA-affiliated Navajo linguists over the past decade give testament to the enthusiastic participation of the Navajo community. However, many interested Navajo educators -- including language, math, and science teachers -- are unable to attend the workshops because they cannot afford to.Tax-deductible contributions to the Navajo Language Academy will allow the NLA to provide its training and support of Navajo teacher-scholars through scholarships and stipends and also allow us to bring our training workshops directly to Navajo teachers throughout the Navajo Nation during the school year.Donations can be sent to:Navajo Language AcademyPO Box 5411Window Rock, AZ 86515For more information, visit www.navajolanguageacademy.org
