Blog Entries: The latest EMW news
Hey all! Just thought I would show you a picture of our new chill zone. :) Pretty sexy huh...
Hey freaks! So today I tried to be "perfect". In fact, this whole week me and Isaac are striving to be.... "perfect"... Now you might be quarreling amongst yourselves shouting, "but wait! I thought you where perfect Connor?!" And at this I would smile and say, "you fools!"
We worked up a schedule that allows us to get everything accomplished according to a schedule We have also shifted our sleeping schedule right after school we take a two hour nap. In a recent study held by a group of local scientists that nobody cares about, results stated that the first two hours of sleep contribute to most of your rest. In attempted to test these faulty results, me and isaac shifted our schedule so that we are taking a 2.3 hour nap right after school. We then stay up until 2. This method has proven itself. I find myself WIDE awake, with the special ability to gain consciousness after I wake up to go to school. I would recommend this techniqke to everyon, epsecialy tho who ...... um... . . . .ZZZzzzzz,,,,,.......
So it is another beautiful day! Its amazing how captivating nature can be! As I gazed into the mountains on my way home from school, I couldn't help but think, "I wonder when my last blog post was?" Skipping into the house, I flipped on the computer, stopped skipping, and checked the last date. MARCH 4!!!! Seriously???! Boy has time gotten away from me. I am truly sorry for the delay. I know you all thrive on these blogs, and my laziness has the power to starve a soul of proper nourishment, usually ending in death. So it is I! Back and ready for action!
Speaking of action, there hasn't been any action around the site lately. But don't be fooled! Some pretty slickly stuff is happening. Me, brother, Courtney, and I recently set up a music recording studio downstairs, so the stock music, like every blog's claim, is sounding very sexy (and trust me, music CAN be sexy). Summer is also coming up, which will give me LOADS of time to work on the music and tell you about how diligently I am working on the music. So yeah, peace out, and its good to hear from me again.
I am sitting here, I'm the middle of a coffee shop, writing on my blog! That's right! I got a very very sexy laptop. Its slender sides, its massive power, its sexy screen... almost as sexy as a woman. Just means more frequent blogs! :)
Ok, so do you ever get those movies that you think about for a week, and they just affect your feelings completely??? I just saw the Butterfly Affect. It is a fantastic movie. I would totally recommend it. It will, however, make you very depressed, but it has a great story line with a good point. :)
Hey all! Beautiful day today yeah??!!! Tis a perfect day for birds chirping, a fresh inch of snow, sun shin, and a wonderful load of teacher loving and homework fun!!! Anyway, ha, just thought I would let you know what was crackin! :) I have really shifted my focuses. Again, the new stock music pack is going to be,,... well... AMAZING!!! Super sexy songs! Evan is a fantastic composer. :) If you would like to be part of the product, and make a little bit of $$$, let me know! Anyway, I'm off murder a dear. Later!
The blog is looking rather sexy yeah! I thought that some cool custom slid-outs would give the blog an extra spin. Tell me what you think! :)
Howdy howdy hoe! Ok, so I have been working very hard on our next products, as I said two posts ago. Some pretty slick stuff! I talked to Matt about a promo vid and he started the design. He used the new preset from videocopilot.net. It is pretty cool! Tell me what you think! (play below)
O, and I am going to update the blog interface. Instead of long to load pages that are lame and stupid-dumdum-faces, we are going to have a slick php rollout per date sort of thing... Its like, well... Yeah. You'll just have to see it! :)

I don't even believe it! The one thing that I beat Andrew too, he comes out with an even more fantastic larger-than life product! Movie Scores! That was like, my thing man!!!! Jeeze!
Well, yeah, I will be purchasing this product, but I have not given up the battle. Website ranking is gaining about 40 people a month, which is a lot for a teen like me. And yes, I am more determined than ever to beat out this product!!!! O Nelly!!! Watch out Andrew!
I had this motivation a little while ago however. About seven months ago (even before Mr. Helms), I started working on a texture pack. Me and my cousin Kaitlyn Linamen where just so frustrated that we don't have money! We deciphered hours and hours over why this was so, and low and behold, we concluded that we don't do anything! If we where to be working like normal people work, we would be rich! So, for the following week we worked 6 hour days for 7 days. As you can probably guess, I worked on the sound effects collection STRAIGHT! When that week was over, I stored it in my computer and didn't touch it.
My point being I am cracking it back out. Hopefully it will beat Andrew's Designer Sound Effects, and will include stock music that beats out this (doubt it, but it will for sure be cheaper). Anyway, visit the product by clicking on the picture. Eagerly awaiting Andrew! And watch out!!!!
Ah! So Thanksgiving was fantastic! My whole family came over. Really fun. I don't know how I can possibly fit so much food in my little stomach. Jeeze. Anyway, the rhapsody is done. Click here to listen. I also made a short intro to a techno. I don't plan on finishing it. But it is kind of cool. :)
It seems as if I can only do so much. :) My schedule includes keeping up the the vlogs, blogs, vv tutorials, videos, website content, products, running, homework, stuco, and life. Phew! I am a bad-a sexy beast. Anyway, we are already into November! Jeeze time flies! So sorry the website hasn't been updated in a while, but here comes two huge breaks, so watch out...
Alright, so I went and saw Madagascar. It was funny and cool, but my rhapsody seemed to be the theme. I don't know what happened there, but it was very disappointing. In return, I have decided to compose another sexy piece... It will be released very shortly. :)
O my gosh! So much good news!!!!!!!!! Ok, first, all of the stock music is in the webstore! Yes! There is over 40 songs, for really cheap, so check them out! I get my new camera tomorrow! Yay!!!! Ill be making a new video log and some new music videos really soon. Also, the webstore just got an 'edit-product-after-purchase' feature installed! Yay! O! And I just finished a new tutorial!!! Yay!!!!!! O! And to top it off, it is snowing really really hard outside, so I might have a school day!!! Yay!!!! Yay!!! Yay!!!!
HI all! I have really been working hard the last few days uploading stock music to the web store. If you are interested in REALLY cheap stock music to use in your videos with full resale rights, visit the store and go to 'stock music'. Lots more will be uploaded over the next few days. I love you all! :)
Hahaha! Ok, so my Uncle Brad came out to visit a while back. He is the usual uncle; crazy, fun, and more of a kid than any of us. While he was here, we couldn't sleep (that is just not what kids do). But we needed something to do while we didn't sleep, and what was more fun than throwing expensive toilet paper all over someone's house. Its a waist of money, risky, and causes pointless work, PERFECT! So we go and T-p my good friend Rebekah Pastorello. This started it off. A streaking obsession with the horrible sport. Three weeks ago, my obsession hit a peak, as we T-peed 5 houses. You can't keep a secret forever I guess. Last Saturday I woke up to find this:
Click on the photos. This took me three and a half hours to clean up. Lesson learned: Always seek revenge ten times as bad. I feel sorry for the person who did this... :)
Ahhh!!! The sweet sweet fruit of work! We are already in the month of October, and I am still surprised as to how fast time flies away! As for the website news, THE NEW TEXTURES PACK IS OUT!!! YAY!!!! Check it out here:

We also have TheConnorBerge DVD set out. It is really cool. Took me a long time to put together, so be sure to give that a peak as well.

Wow! I have been on the computer all day working out the flaws! :) Jeeze!!!!! We are ONLINE!!!!!! Thank goodness. Alright, we have a new way of downloading the stock footage (much better), as well as a new photo gallery for fun. :) I'm off to explode again. Bye forever.... (distant boom....)
This was the panoramic picture I took from the top of Hotel Colorado. Really nice place... and only 5 hours away any time you want a visit....
O my gosh!!!! Yes I know! I used "O my gosh" in the beginning of both of the latest blogs. But I have every right. Gosh, in this very hour can dang me to heck for all I care,,, I have the right to use gosh's name in vain (especially since no one knows who gosh really is; probably a nice guy). Anyway, soooo sorry for the delay. The whole website being down was a real pain in the rear. The problem was that the flash menu bar was messing up the template. Without exaggerating, I would guess a total estimate of 45 hours was put into trying to figure it out. But yeah. Not as exiting to me any more,,,,, I own this template... read the blog below to enjoy an overview of when I had much more healthier opinions...
O! And if you notice any problems, email them to me!!!! :) Thanks guys! Love you all!
O my gosh! Here we are! The new website template! I know, you are probably drooling at your computer right now. Clean, cut sexy, and bold. Really depicts who I am (wink wink, jk). So yeah, some great stuff coming up. I needed to wait to post it before I could really start updating.
The website includes an update on the navigation (which was butt-soring-because-I-was-in-my-seat-too-long hard). But yeah, we have some really nice looking flash in the old navigation's place. I am also updating the website more and more using flash, so if you don't have that installed, it would be really really important. The website is leaning more and more to expecting you to be updated with your gear. Eventually we will work out a system for the weak-at-tech, but until then, make sure your browser in in shape.
The new template also allows me to update the blog more frequently. This is really good news. :) I know how much you all wait for a new blog entry (not), but when you do check it, you will find much more posts, in a more humorous state.
Anyway, enjoy the website! If you notice any problems, please please please let me know. Email me immediately. I would like to get all the bugs worked out in a week or so.
Gah! So there are two of my aunts dogs here, in their cages, and they have a farting problem. I am been putting up with this all day, but have managed to make some major updates! Ok, so we finally got the tutorial! Yay! Have fun scaring your friends with this one. It is really really really cool.
O my! So I didn't even go to the camp that I was suppose to go to! But I ended up going to Chicago, as well as Oak Harbor in Washington. It was very cool. I mastered the backflip on the trampoline, went to Great America, ate worms, and yeah, it was sooo cool. I also made this awesome photo yesterday. Click on it to be directed to the large file. Its pretty dark, but awesome.
Ok! So I totally signed up for a camp that I know nothing about, and that is tomorrow, so I am kind of in trouble. I have some big plans for the website. When I get back, you can look forward to some new products, and a new tutorial in which we make a person become invisible. See yeah on Friday!
Yeah, huge update. I finally got all the products in place, and I have created the T-shirts. I don't make hardly any profit on them, but I looked very sexy in one, and I would hate to horde their sexiness to myself. Please tell me if there is any problems with the new website store. I have worked hard on making in beautiful. The store is secured with ssl, has paypal and cash or money payment, and is looking pretty neat.
Hey all. I just saw Get Smart a few days ago. This was actually a very very funny movie. Coming from a teen critic, who loves action, this movie has to be in my top 10. Very funny, more action than most action movies, and light hearted. I loved it, and would recommend the movie to anyone. :)
Yesterday I rode my bike all the way to Courtney's house. It was like, 14 miles, and I pretty much died at the end of the trip due to exhaustion. Today gave me a chance to regain my calories. I just made the best piece of mush ever. I got the really soft doe breads, spread cream of mushroom soup over it, added some chicken and beef over the soup, and threw in a bunch of cheese. It was very enjoyable. Just a heads up though, when you take it out of the microwave, the cheese will look very very tasty as it melts so heavenly on top. DONT TOUCH IT! It sticks to your hand and burns into the depth of your soul You try to remove it with another finger, but the cheese just gets on that finger, and you now have two holes being burnt into your flesh. :)
I just saw Hancock. Critics bombed it with the worst rating ever. However, I didn't think that it was that bad at all! In fact, I really liked it. Will Smith plays Hancock, a selfish super hero changing into the hero he is supposed to be. Now, there is a super crazy twist at the end, but it doesn't ruin the movie. 1.5 rating is crazy. Ill give it a 3.5 out of 5. Could have been better, but wasn't the worst. It reminded me of myself, and how I should use my incredible muscle power to start doing some good.
In other news, Viacom has officially become a pain. Start revolting please. They are trying to acquire every IP address from Youtube, which means they will have a full account of everything we have watched. They need to learn not to byte the hand that feeds them. Fools.
I decided that the front page news stuff was not working. I was able to post a picture with a short description, but never got the time to actually through out write a message because it would soon be deleted when I got some more news. However, now with a blog, everything that is on the front page, will also be here. This means that you guys can view articles as much as you would like without fear of them being deleted. Here is how it will work:
Updates on the front page will continue, however, they will not be directed towards the front page, they will be directed towards this blog. A short excerpt from the latest entry of the blog will be copied to the front page, so if you want to read the full blog you can, or if you just want to get the basic idea of the news. The blog will be posted in categories of months. I plan to post a new blog as frequently as I update the website, 1 or 2 posts a week. So lets get right into it, the news!
Pretty much, TIIR is an official Envisage Movie Works Partner. We also have a few other partners working their way to the top (composers, editors, and other tutorial makers). As this is the first blog, I feel that I can let out a few news secrets.
The big update to the website is going to a store. I have mentioned things about this before, but the store is actually already made and running. I will not distribute the address of the store, but it should be up in a few weeks. I have an awesome product that you guys will love. We also have some T-shirts, gifts, and all that fun stuff. The website design of the store is completely different than this website design, but it looks really really cool, so don't be afraid of change.
The website is also going to hit some awesome updates. We will soon be hosting very advanced Adobe After Effects tutorials by TIIR. Check out this incredibly amazing banner:
As for personal news, 4th of July weekend was fantastic! Water World was fun, I made a new video, as well as recorded a new Vegas Video tutorial which is more advanced. Later! I love you all!
