The Canceptual Boom of Can Art

Your narration audio is loud for no reason

sweet editing! great music.
great use of narration and interview to tell the story.
i'd love to here your thoughts on my first current vcam COME CLEAN">link CLEAN

Caught your music on Myspace. All I have up so far is a VCAM. You night appreciate the humor though.

Looking forward to your next pod.

Creativity at it's finest. Great presentation

cholas get jumped into the movement. you should know this.

Excellent pod! I want to be part of this canceptual boom!!!

No, they haven't contacted me yet?!? I'm not sure what protocol is either, I tried searching and couldn't find anything. I sent an email but haven't heard back. Send me an email if you hear anything. laura@mysmarthands.com
Cheers,
Laura

Good Work!

Congratulations! I am so happy your pod won! Well done.

Really cool subject matter, what there doing is great using the byproduct of art to make more art, thats how everything we do should be. If we can't find a practical use for waste turn it into art. Well put together, I liked the how to. The music was sweet. Nice find on the moth.

Good Work, Talbott

Nice video!

Yo DonQ! thanks for reaching out and leaving me that comment. I ain't gonna lie i havent been on CTV in a while man. But something to told to look today. hit me up at my site. www.konsolekingz.com

Congrats on winning the leaderboard. Well deserved!

Great art, vid, and music. keep them coming...

Great work man. Like the footage and your audio.

Well produced! Good profile of a talented artist who is doing his thing. Good cuts, great audio =GL. Thanks for the comments on my piece!

congratulations. i want to see on my tv.

There's an update to this with better sound... It should be up shortly.

Art is created in the mind...that someone had the vision to recycle and expand their brain in the process is beautiful! Truly, amazingly unique pieces...pieced together nicely; demonstrative. nice editing.
GREENLIGHT

nicely done

good job! i like the guy kicking the can and the repetition of it. i think i'll put up another video soon...thanx for the Support.

Thank you all for your excellent advice... We will be issuing an update to this video, especially to correct the sound differences. It shall continue to remain Greenlight material with your suggestions... Thank you for your approval for TV. Your positive support is welcome...
With every Greenlight and comment, please leave the title to your own project....

The sound it kind of screwed up. A bit hard to hear but the subject matter is cool. Well done.

Nice job!

Excellent man, beautifull peiceshope you get aired

Spray Can pieces are where it's at....my homie Basco5 has a nice set of cans he's attacked.
................

Thanks for your feedback on my work- I think this spot would be great company on the air! It's a reminder to the current audience that the hiphop culture is vibrant in all its elements...Alero's pieces are filthy, and I think viewers will appreciate his style.

GL from me!

-Will

nice work and good project!

I liked it, but the narration volume and music was too loud. I had to turn down my speakers.

My girlfriend says it's OK.

A well planned video....keep it up...

I've always had an interest in found object and conceptual art.

Nice video

Professionally done! Not too much...not too little. Interesting subject. Music fits, but is just a bit too out front. Also, when you're doing interviews in noisy areas, get that mic as close to your subject as possible. If you can afford it, a couple hundred dollars can land you a shotgun mic and pole.(You can spend a lot more as well) Your work deserves it. The only thing that might hold this back is the audio and the rest is so strong, I think it should run anyway. It's easy to learn technical stuff, but creative talents are another story. You have what it takes! Keep it up! GL of course!

I noticed you used your own music. Nice!
Not my regular listening choice but I did a web site and music video for a local Hip-Hop artist. Wouldn't mind your opinion on it:

First off thanks for giving Momma, I'm Scared a GL. I totally dig the art. I'm living in the mountains and the only recycled art around is painted saw blades. I hope your film makes it onto the TV.

Bring on the artists!

Just read an article somewhere saying airlines in the U.S. throw away enough aluminum cans every year to build 58 new 747. Will definitely keep Alero busy. It is an interesting subject. If anything production-wise, tune down the music a bit while your subject is talking. A great pod nonetheless. GL

Es muy interesante lo que hace el tío este con las latas. No es necesaria tanta parafernalia para crear (entrar en estado místico y esas vainas), sólo ponerse a currar y tener creatividad e imaginación. Olé tío

this is really fresh...

its hard to hear the people talking, because of noise. Music is too loud , drowns out speech.

I notice you do your own music--very respectable--and it sets a funky feel for the pod. It would be interesting to see a follow-up on Artist Alero in a year or so to see how his can art evolves. Thanks for your comment on Alms Giving!

Very cool! Nice, professional presentation about a cool art form that I didn't know existed.

GL from me!

enter your post here

i liked it all ..i like pods that have to do with things like urban art /art

nice music - and its the first time I actually see some amazing art made out of cans - though the useability factor seems to be low and I don't know how practically relevant the final product really is, even in terms of art if anybody is buying it or so. Well, art is not particularly my favourite category, but the video seems to be well produced and the cans are quite show worthy.
Gl from me, too! (to UK version).

Spray art on a new level and no discarded tins I think!

Nice piece... great story about a unique way to reuse the waste from one form of art and turn it into another...Well shot and edited....

GL... and thanks for your words about Barrio De Paz.. if you have time check out the 17min version of the film link

well shot and edited video. i think what i like best about the can art as a subject, is that i light of the live earth concerts that just happened, is that while this is "art" it is also really bad for the environment, at least according to what i was programmed with as a child. i was taught that aresol cans released cfc's which are in part reposible for the hole i the ozone layer. so the artists bust open the cans to let all the cfc's out and then spray it with more paint! that's awesome, because there should be a destruction in creation, and how more destructive can you be than fucking the earth up? brilliant!

Thank you for your comment! This pod was very well put together! You did an awesome job exposing the viewer to this art, I really enjoyed it.

Hi BooksBrown. IMPRESSED WITH cAN aRT and your vlog intruducing us to the Medium.GL all the Way.(by the way,GITMO is the name used by the US GI's to THE BASE in Guantanamo bay)
hope to see more of your work.Do you have photos of your Cans somewhere?Iwould like to see more

CANS!

i really like this - and i agree with afton, with a few slight changes this would be easily one of the best pods out there. GL.

What a fascinating topic - its always good to make FULL use of our tools

Inspiring piece. The introduction moves to catch the attention well and bring it all into the body of the piece. You've got great segments and some art shots that do very well. Creative, encouraging, and uplifting to see art taking this form. GL for sure. Danielmklopp~

Kept my attention! Something new is always good.

This is simply amazing, I never seen any art that resembles this. Very creative and you did a great job sharing this art form to the viewer. This is a definite Green Light. I loved it.
-----------------------------------------------------
Check out my work sometime, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks link

Great stuff...thanks for the GL. I had dropped you a much deserved GL yesterday for this one.

Take Care

Interesting art. Well done pod. GL!!!

Unique concept, nice work. The bubble one was crazy. GL'd

Hell yeah! GL! Great piece. Bringing back something that was dead and recycling it for art. Kept my attention, nice soundtrack.

Well done...GL'd

nice work. recycling is cool. gl.

Great pod. This form of artwork is totally on the rise. Its this kind of fusion between traditional and modern art that will push art in general forward and into the next century that we are already supposed to be in. We are about to post a pod about glassblowing, very similiar to your piece. Will let you know when I post it. Thanks for commenting on our Dragon Day Pod. GL, am sure will see it on TV.

thanks for the GL, i also liked your pod

Very well made and interesting. I love the can art! Professionally made pod. GL

I enjoyed this. Especially your street footage -- you have a distinct style. The audio was a bit low at times but otherwise great work.
Greenlight and best of luck.
Thanks for your support of my pod.

Thats cool, I like the way you kept the explanation long at the begining, made me wanna watch on. Good music too it works well with the piece.

good job

Note to DonQ

RE images used on , BIG MEDIA fails again

The images are all public domain. CIA factbook, D.O.D. and the whitehouse web site.

You can send me an e-mail a_mcinnis@yahoo.com if you want... there are some others.

BTW, glad you liked the piece, can you shoot me a GL??? .)

Thanks.

That's off the chain. Very interesting and unique. That is a great expand on art. Great!

Holla!

Good story and really nice cut. Music was a good fit...

Thanks for the GL on Give 'Em Belle!

thats some deep art kid.... i like the concept GL!~! check out african village in america tell me what you think.Peace....Oh yeah I am not a film critic thew way i see it a film is like a canvas some time you have to look past the normal filmmaking crap and look at as a canvas,Thanks for the pod.

I've already given this GL, but I'd like your opinion on my updated version of BIG MEDIA fails again and feel free to give it a GL if you like it.

Thanks.

Those cans were pretty tight but I think I'll wait til he starts making mech figurines like gundam!!!!!!

really like this - GL! I think the sound in the beginning could be clearer, and more art would have been nice to have a look at. But it's very original, great angles and i like the music too, so GL for me. thanks for your comments on my piece ~ eleni

Thanks for the GL - loved the pod, always crzy to see what so many other people are into! The only videography advice I have is to make less edits and transitions, sometimes its hard to keep up. I understand the desire to reflect the art in the images, but sometimes you can just let the images speak for themselves without trying to force it!

Keep it up - heading back to LA on Sept 1, if you ever want to collaborate, holler: nickvivion@gmail.com

Good work, very interesting and original. good to see another L.A. homey doing it! My only suggestion would be that the camera pans a bit too fast and gets jittery. Maybe that was the style you were going for, but it can have a dizzing effect if over used.
GL - and thanks for the GL on my Brazil Show pod.
Brucinho in Brasil!

GL. Not only is the art creative but the video visuals as well. I think the music loop was the only thing that didn't quite work for me... I almost wanted a little more variety to the music... at least more variation. But great video.

Thank you for inviting me to see this video and sharing your art. I think can art is a very unique and insightful way to recycle and communicate about the urban world.

Looks good,
Maybe more cutaways to the art, and voice over may not be needed.

G.L. very cool. Where is that museum located so we can go check out the work.

Gl.. I like this video all around. Your voice over, the video work ,music and interview are all very strong. I like the artist. I have one request of the artist. First,.... thank him for recycling! Fantstic! As he is changing the canvas of the graffiti artist from walls and building to cans, he could also start thinking about moving away from using aerosol spray to deliver the paint to the sculpture. That part is the non-environmentally good part. But, every step counts and this is a great and creative direction towards change.

I feel you. GL

Shola

Yo this is some really creative shit.
makes me wanna go out and collect some old spray cans.
good work don and book.
-dj megatone

Really cool stuff....love when people recycle!!!!!!!!!!

Check out my pod on bike recycling.
link

Yo that was mad ill! I've never ever heard of this offshoot of graffitti art. Dope!

And the production was tight, super professional and mad styling. My only suggestion would be to put up the volume of your subject as he's speaking (or lower the gain on the music track). Otherwise this pod needs to be on air like NOW!

something out of nothing... nice cut

Cool idea!

GL!

Love the idea, love the video. Way cool! 100% GL from me!

Thanks dude... Still a great vid. Great to hook up with you on mspace too... MH

I really like the concept of resurrecting things that are seemingly "dead" or "useless". This is awesome, thanks for sharing.
Peace,
Priya

Greenlights from Greenlighters lighting green with green lighters! Keep these projects coming', homie! I got your back. The rest of you don't sleep. Good work! I am putting this A+ on the fridge.

very cool! GL!

ok, lets see it on TV. GL

very cool. your piece has great energy... which is perfect for the art you feature. It's fast paced, fresh and tv ready. GL!

I like style of your camera work. Shakey when needs to be. Still when needs to be. Good music. Good art. I want to make it. Thank you for inviting to see. You get a green.

great find! nice production... great cuts! he's a true artist! its great to find those unique reclusive subjects...

Nice take on a very intersting subject. The audio needs a bit of work but overall it is great. GL!

This is so cool!!! GL
---------------------------------------
If you have time could you check out my VC2 ad for L'Oreal, its called "Old to Young" please give me suggestions on making it better and please give it a GL. Thanks.

I'd like to go to that gallery next time in LA. Wicked subject matter. Well crafted video.

Maybe you can create art sculptures from a combination of cans or something. GREENLIGHT!!!!

This is some of the best stuff to push further creativity! I would like to see others do more of this. I'm promoting this.

Thanks for checking out my pod man. Appreciate it.

This is a really interesting piece. Never seen anything like this before. Your audio levels really bothered me, but your camera work and editing made up for it. Really good job shooting this. GL

Jason Boone

Really interesting and fun. Nice editing and camera work. There is a great pace and style to your film and liked it. GL.

I loved everything except the shaky camera work... but it wasn't bad enough for me to give it a no.... so yeah GREEN LIGHT.

can do

Lots of shaky camera work...no go.

I love it! This is awesome. Great camera work and interesting topic. Can art: Who knew? GL!

NIce job. I appreciate the videography especially. Great music. Good time, and your subject was very insightful. I think we can all learn something here about the opportunities you either take or you let slip away in terms of creative inspiration.

GL I like everything about this! Subject, music, editing style.

Sister Beatrice thanks you too!

Im on the UK site, it seems that greenlights given there do not count on the US site...They seem to be completely separate counters... Bit confusing... Still think your film is GL so I gave it one here too.
Music is great,no worries dude...

I wonder if you keep loading your own film yourself you can push up your ratings, I dont do that myself but I wonder if some people do. Question for Current that.

As you left the link on mine I hope you dont mind me leaving a link for my site on yours BTW ^_^

Love it man. Forward thinking. Positive Construction. Recycled Urban Guerrillart.

Thanks to all of you for your advice and your comments... I'm glad to be at your service.

very interesting art form. GL! for sure

interesting topic and great style in shooting and editing. GL. keep it up.

I love this pod! I remember there were a couple guys here in NYC making art out of soda cans. Alero takes the form to the next level with painting and sculpting. Good use of music too.

sorry- I guess I forgot to push that GL button. Hope this works.

I am just dropping a note here to say Thank You for your comments and support on my pod BIG BUGS . I really appreciate it.

DonQ must have not noticed it, but I have already been here, GLed, and wrote a comment about this great artist and his craft. Congrats once again for such an original and amazing work of art.

I thought this was an interesting POD. Had a little trouble hearing the words, but the art pieces were interesting by itself...I think the fact that this type of stuff is going on out there - is a fascinating discovery. I enjoyed watching it. GL

Very interesting art. I love your editing style very much.
Greenlight from me!!!

If you have a chance, please take a look at my pod, CASA DEL MIGRANTE.

yah, USU... I see what you mean... we went with a solid formula as far as production, especially with it being condensed into a small pod. The art itself was a brief introduction into the application and the ability of creation... A stepping stone for aspiring artists to lead and impact. If it could inspire you to insist there be something more, then others will think so to. Thank you for the comment...

I like the content. Very original. Simple and to the point...no excess to lose my interest. Nicely done. Good luck, Thanks for greenlighting my post "The Other."

I had Green light this pod long time ago. I like it as an informative pod but in terms of the actual ART I dont like the art as it is. It seams school art it has not texture and not psicological resonance. He could take his idea further by crating a large sculture rather that issolate a single can. In short the idea od a can beinng transformed is okay buy the actual piece is not there it needs to take this ideas further. Hope this helps

Yeah, it was good!

Very Well done. Interesting art.

I think the music was a little loud compared to his voice. But Overall really cool piece.

Current TV ready.

Awesome production quality! I think this is a very interesting art form, an asset to any street artist. I like the organic nature of it all (save the aerosol leaking out everywhere). This is absolutely something to see on Current, Im sure it will make it there.

Good luck!

interesting art form, GL!

awesome production! great job all around putting this video together! the "can art" is very creative... you're taking what would normally be trash and turning it into an art form and a business...now that's America! continued success my friend!

super...

How can u hate on this pod? Recycling used spray paint cans...Dammm Now thats some art. How can I get one? By the way the audio was a lil on the hot side.

jaysizzle.

Green Light

This guy is blessed with lots of time to be creative!!

Great way to support Art and Nature!!!! keep it up

The world needs more leaders... thanks.

artist could have worn name brand clothes instead, it would have made him seem cooler

Art that is good is always a must in this world. The presentation wasnt half bad either.
