A very impressive stop-motion music video that uses 288,000 jelly beans, 1 year of filming, and a very patient musician and video crew. The song is kind of catchy too.
If you're curious how they did it then check out the Making of Video. Pretty cool. Even if you don't like the music you've...
A while back our little charity started a Folding@home Team to help find cures for diseases by lending our CPU/GPU down time to Stanford's distributed computing project. Now we're in the Top 1% of the 200,000+ teams. If any DVXusers have a PC/Mac/Linux/PS3 or GPU videocard, sometimes sitting...
This Letus Extreme is in GREAT condition, it has been well cared for, and has only had minimal use (less than 1 hour) in the last year or so. It comes with two lenses and two step-rings (see photos for specifics). I used it with a Canon HV20.
The Letus is located in Austin, Tx...
DVXuser has been a long-time supporter of Isara Foundation and many members have even become monthly sponsors. So I thought I'd share with you our latest project.
Next month we will begin our "Think Before You Throw" campaign in southeast Asia. It will focus on educating people along the Mekong...
Today I come to the Cafe (again), with my heart on my sleeve, and with the hopes some of you will get involved and help.
My little charity organization, which actually started as a DVXuser Cafe topic, has grown a lot in the past few years. Isara now has 120+ students at its free learning center...
Our little charity, Isara Foundation, is auctioning a Sennheiser EW100 wireless mic package. The item was donated to us, more than a year ago, by the one and only Barry Green. Now, with his permission, we are auctioning it for charity. Thanks, Barry!!!
This Sennheiser EW100 package works...

The Letus Extreme is in GREAT...
For the past two years we've been slowly building a non-profit search engine which will eventually replace the Google search we're using on our site right now. It's a way for us to become independent and provide the public with a non-profit alternative to sites like Google, Yahoo, and Bing...
Here's a fun little song and video.

The lighting and DOF is really nice. I think it was shot with a Canon Mark II because he had it as one of the tags for a while.
There's no denying that Google's search results have been superior to anything else out there. But last month Microsoft launched Bing and it might be worth a look. Even if you're a Microsoft hater.

I've been using it for about two weeks and I'm starting to really like it...
From April-June DVXuser promoted Isara's charity raffle and helped raise more than $7,500. We used most of the money to make some much needed repairs and upgrades to our Learning Center. But, fortunately, we had enough left-over to make a down payment on a used van, which was our original goal...
If you participated in Isara's charity raffle, be sure to tune in tonight at 8pm CST, for our live webcast from Thailand.

Along with announcing the winners of the $7,500 in prizes, we'll also be showing every one what we've been doing with some of the proceeds...
If you haven't seen the topic in the Martket Place, the deadline for the video equipment charity raffle is midnight PST tonight!!!

Tickets start at only $5 and, thanks to all of you, we've almost reached our goal. ($700 of tickets were sold in just the last 24...
From now until June 10th, the Isara Charity Organization is having a video equipment raffle to raise money to buy a used van ($7,000) or to build a new classroom for our free Learning Center. For three years the Isara volunteers have been using one moped for all our projects and a small...
A few hours ago we got back from another "day at the movies" and I thought I'd share it with you, in hopes that it will make you feel good too.
This time we again invited over 150 kids from the nearby AIDS orphanage and saw a great Thai cartoon called Khan Kluay: Part II. It's a very popular...
Next month, Isara Charity will be having a charity raffle specifically for filmmakers. We've already received a lot of great prizes from some major vendors but now we're looking for some miscellaneous things to raffle.
Please look at the list below and then look around your office or closet. If...
New visitors to our website have always been confused as to "what" Isara.org is and "how" it works. For good reason. The site is cluttered and a real mess (click here to see for yourself). With the new design we decided to go with something COMPLETELY different and to make the homepage more...
We see counterfeit stuff all the time over here but, occasionally, there will be a real gem. Like this Hi-Phone being sold in Bangkok. Surprisingly it's more expensive than a real iPhone. Maybe that's because it says "Product by USA" on the back. lol
Let me know if any of you want a genuine...
