The 512 Collective, unless otherwise stated.

Sorry guys, I've really been slacking here. Justice and I are both stacked with endless stuff to do these days, and it's been difficult to make time for blogging.
After we got back from Durban a week ago, we've both been hitting the editing stations pretty hard. Rough cuts from the 7- minute versions of our documentaries should be finished next Tuesday or so, and we'll try and post them online then. We've also got a few clips from the longer version of each project that I'll put up as well.
In the mean time, you can check out a time- lapse sequence I shot of the WFP ship unloading at the port last week. It's not much, but worth checking out - I wanna make sure that my QuickTime scripts are working right before we start uploading more video, so let me know if there's any problems...
Justice has been pushing the music side of the 512 Collective pretty hard these days, both in the recording studio and on the stage. He's still got a number of shows lined up across Southern Africa before we cut back to the US (at that point the North American tour will begin - but that's a whole other story).
 Meanwhile, I've still been laying down footage for my project; most recently I was shooting in Pretoria (the South African capital, just north of Johannesburg). There was a large protest against genetically modified food outside of the Supreme Court, where the American company Monsanto is being sued.
Anyway, as soon as these rough cuts are done with, we're gonna be heading out to Cape Town with our ProTools studio to do some recording for the Josie Tapes (the album Justice is collaborating to make with local artists). We'll have a few days in the Cape, and then we gotta jet back to Jo'burg to screen the 7- minute documentary cuts here at Wits University.
At that point we'll have two weeks left in Africa, and that time will be divided between four countries. I really don't even want to think about such insanity right now, so I'm gonna leave it at that for now. Peace out homies.

Yet more great information on this blog. Very cool footage, too. I quote Gil Scott Heron (who said the revolution will not be televised): "What's the word? Johannesberg!" Keep up the great work.
