…ok, so I was talking to my oldest son Nick who produces film for a living and I asked him what he thought about the films I’ve been producing and he didn’t seem too very impressed with them so I said they didn’t look that good on the internet and he said that’s because YouTube compresses the tar out of everything and that I needed to use Vimeo so I immediately created another one of my little low budget spaghetti westerns and then proceeded to load it up on Vimeo AND YouTube for a little compare and contrast but the only difference I could see was that the Vimeo website has better looking graphics than YouTube does so the only thing I seem to have really accomplished today is to set a new world record for the longest sentence ever written on the Brother Jones web site for which I am very, very proud…
The Comments
Don Jones
In the middle of reading your lengthy one sentence blog, I felt short of breath, somewhat dizzy and almost passed out. Love that choppy water. You gotta remember that Nick has higher standards than the original Joneses.
Dennis Jones
…for us original Joneses, if the job gets done, it’s plenty good enough…
Doug Jones
mega awesomeness dittos on that sentence, Den.
Bernard
Dennis, Awesome Art, The YouTubes are fine for me…but I’m not talking to you because of the Colts! Ben picked a fine time to go a slumpin’ now everybody here is yellin’ for Byron! So, I guess that our fans are no different than anywhere else…what have you done for us lately?
Bernard
Hey Keegan, wherez the spell check?
Don Jones
You simply cannot beat Herb Alpert music … very fitting selection for the Surfin’ Dawg. It made me feel like I was on the beach!
Dennis Jones
…ya want to hit one outa the ball park? …add Herb Alpert to it… works ever time… a little advice for Nick from Den and Don…
…Bernard, look on the bright side… at least Indiana doesn’t have a hockey team to knock the Penguins off with…
Bernard
No, but what’s with the assumption that if they did, they would? Herb Alpert…gotta go check this out!
Dennis Jones
…I don’t believe that’s assumption, I believe that’s just a fact that you will be unable to disprove at this time, Bernard…
Doug Jones
you just can’t beat BrotherJones logic!
Jason Bourne
The Brother Jones logic book has a nice ring to it!
Bernard
Amen. But at least weez ain’t gutt noes “Potheads” fer a baseball team!
Dennis Jones
…sorry, that doesn’t count… they’re minor league… on the other hand, if Indiana did have a major league baseball team, the Pirates would really be in trouble…
Don Jones
All this makes absolutely no sense to me and is quite hard to follow. Keep up this fine bloggin’ material.
Dennis Jones
…it’s Monday, Don, I’m just typing random words together and pretending they make sense…
Bernard
Hey Dennis, thanks for showing me some mercy because boy did I almost walk into that one! You coulda said, “Even your Minor Leaguers can beat the Pirates”! Whew! That was a close one.
Don Jones
Bernard, by this last comment, you are way too sharp to be reading this Jones Brother nonsense. Your I.Que. has gotta be in tha triple digits range.

A real subcultural quality to those waves there. Reminds me a bit of Breadwig’s stuff. But he’s doin’ some of his illustrations in actual 3d programs. I wish there was a way we could actually see you do your digital painting. But that might be giving away too many of your secrets. If you were to consider it though, this program might be of interest. haven’t tried it, but Ive heard a lot of good things about it: flip4mac But it’s probably best for when you want to get real serious about tutorializing.
Dennis Jones
…thanks RobalLOO, I’ll take a look at that… I downloaded a demo copy of I-Show-U, have piddled around with it several times, but it really seems to bog my system down when I use it, so I never bought it… these little videos I’ve been making are mostly for my own entertainment as I try to get my I-Movie video editing chops down…
Jason Bourne
We will see, what we can see. Perhaps I need to get more tech savvy since I’m in the Jones Domain of Art. Lots to learn here.
Doug Jones
wha?…
Taylor McGee
I think these videos would be better if they had some Weasel Boy music…
Dennis Jones
…I think they’d be better if they just had some weasels, period…
Bernard
Don’t you just love it ( chick-a-boom ). Now we all remember someone’s grandmother/grandfather telling us that if you give them an inch, they will want a yard! now this is why us peasants are always out in the yard! Because that’s what we want from poor old Dennis! A Yard! a Yard! We like those vidoes and how-tooeys but…WE WANT MORE! LIGHT THE TORCHES!
Bernard
Give us online classes in real-time or give us death ( your wacom would suffice ).
Jason Bourne
All in favor of online classes: say “Aye”….AYE!
Bernard
Jason…it’s Arrrgh not aye! Do you have a torch?
Don Jones
NOTE TO SELF: Check batteries on the Brother Jones blog smoke detector.
Bernard
Yeah…nothing like a little heat to keep you three honest.
roballoo
I, Eye, Aye!
