Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and filmmaker Jack Conte may be best known as one-half of Pomplamoose, the indie-pop duo that racked up over 80 million views for their "VideoSongs" on YouTube — videos that show every step of the recording process without lip-syncing or dubs. As a solo artist, Conte's released five albums that fuse electronic, dance and pop. His most recent EP is out now on Patreon, the new funding platform he co-founded for independent artists like him, who release material online frequently for free.

Recorded in September 2013 at XOXO, an arts and technology festival in Portland, Oregon celebrating independent artists using the Internet to make a living doing what they love. For more, visit http://xoxofest.com.

San Francisco Time Lapse (Empty America) http://mitchmckenna.com/post/11909/san-francisco-time-lapse-empty-america

It's crazy to think, I've lived in SF for over 3 years now. I now recognize almost all the places in this video now.

The "Empty America" series begins in San Francisco. From the Golden Gate Bridge to Fisherman's Wharf to Lombard Street to Ghirardelli Square to the Bay Bridge - get a good look at some of San Francisco's most iconic landmarks (wiped empty of tourists and traffic).

Guy Walks Across America http://mitchmckenna.com/post/7912/guy-walks-across-america

A very neat video which combined stop motion and time lapse. Shot from New York to right here in San Francisco over the span of two weeks. You're likely to overlook that it's actually a Levi's ad.

Check out the behind the scenes video here where the crew detailed the painstaking process of making this video. There's also a Google Map of the journey with pics/videos along the way.

Aerial Tour of Prince Edward Island http://mitchmckenna.com/post/6643/aerial-tour-of-prince-edward-island

Recently (especially with moving to San Francisco) I've had a lot of people ask me what it's like back where I came from, on PEI. Today I came across this video posted on PEI's Tourism Facebook Page (fan them if you haven't already!). The video focuses primarily on landscape; you'll catch glimpses of our beaches, golf courses, national parks, coastline, seafood, the Confederation Bridge, Anne of Green Gables, and other signature PEI icons. If you've seen any other great videos of PEI, post them in the comments!
