Planet Bliss: "Phase of the Day"
Laid back electronica...This song was created using the FME Buddha Machine as the main sound source. Lo-fi string / synth sounds with a laidback bassline and drum groove. This is my first attempt at editing video. Big thanks to the BBC for the footage under the Creative Archive Licence.

"This was a fun video to shoot. It was shot on a very hot day in Victoria, BC, Canada. It was co-directed by me and Magdalen Tamiola who is also the gorgeous hiphop dancer in the video."
rian has been playing SWG since shortly after launch.. and he never planned on becoming a dancer. "Started as a Rifleman actually," he said, "I actually tried almost every profession. Went back to dancer about 7 times though. I always loved RPing and dancer is great for that.. plus its always funny to see a male dancer". According to reports, when 'Men of Helios' was shown at Fan Fest, it received a standing ovation. Is he suprised at how popular the video is? "Well, unfortunately I couldnt get to the Fan Fest, but I was very very suprised on the result. The original video was only made for fun, to show my guild that male dancers serve a purpose in SWG." He's also requested that if anyone made a video of his video being shown... send him an email at balgosa@windspireentertainment.com! Balgosa doesn't work alone.. his (real life!) twin brother, Garritt, helps out as well. "He helps in all the videos and has a good say in the song picking. Belief is also big into the choreography," he added. You can visit his website, Windspire Entertainment, to see more!
Stephane Bertrand: "Beat Takeshi"
Direct to you from France, bassist Stephane Bertrand brings you his latest video.
"Why Dance?" is an in-depth, behind the scenes look at the world of dance. It examines what attracts so many to this wondrous art form, including young students, former ballerina?s, and current dancers. It explores why they dance and what drives them from their early introduction to the neighborhood dance studio to the stages of Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley, a professional dance company in San Jose, California. The full-length documentary discusses the benefits of dance competitions, including substantial footage of one of many competitions and conventions held in many cities throughout the country every year. It includes interviews with various winners including Peter Chursin (Mr. Dance of America 2003) and Ashley Canterna (Miss Dance of America 2002). The rigorous training, stretching, and rehearsing is also shown, as many of these young people put everything they have into trying to impress the judges during a 2-minute dance routine. Parents discuss the benefits of both dance and competing with respect to the positive influence it has had on their children?s scholastic achievement and self confidence. Not only do ballerina?s (including former dancers with American Ballet Theatre and Dance Theatre of Harlem) share their early experiences growing up in the world of dance, but we get insight from such notables as Dennis Nahat(world renown choreographer/ Artistic Director), Karen "KB" Brown (Artistic Director of the Oakland Ballet), and Daryl Gray(choreographer). Other contributors to the film include photographers Roger Ele, Hubert Worley, Christopher Jean-Richard, and world renown Martha Swope. It examines the USA International Ballet Competition in Jackson, Mississippi which is held every four years where dancers from all over the world attend and compete for "The Gold". Dance as a career is discussed in numerous conversations with current professional dancers and former dancers with such notable dance companies as American Ballet Theatre, The Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, and the Stuttgart Ballet. Advice is given freely and quite candid in format. The darker side of dance is also explored including injuries, eating disorders, and insecurities, issues that all dancers will face sooner or later. This film goes behind the scenes of a professional dance company?s production of "The Pirates of Penzance", a ballet staged by Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley in San Jose, California. Behind the scenes footage includes actual choreography being set in the rehearsal hall as well as footage of the actual performance and extensive discussion by the choreographer, Daryl Gray. Included is a heart-warming "Billy Elliott" type story of a young boy who not only overcomes the objections of his father, but turns him into one of his biggest supporters at the same time. This film is not only an informative look at the world of dance, but often times an entertaining look as well.

Socadia: "Sleeping While You Drive"
The video revolves around a metaphor for the trust we give and take in our lives. Trust is shown through a ride in a car with someone, while the car is a shell used to transport your life from one place to another and back again to the beginning. The places in the journey and the lights around are memories and experiences that we have and see during our life. The lady driver is a person of experience who gives us the chance to see life and allows us to experience it for ourselves--she's giving us trust in life. The video was shot using low budget DV Cameras and a very fast digital still camera using different techniques at different speeds.
