I lowered my Camry almost 5 inches from stock, which wasn't a big deal when the 17 inch rims accompanied the drop. But when I ride with the 14 inch stock rims, the front of the car had only 1.5 inches of clearance. Now that wouldn't be such a big deal if I hadn't created a custom coil-over suspension, with really soft springs. That means, when hitting the brakes, the car was able to dip itself into the ground, and/or lay flat across the ground when driving over dips (as seen in the video).
So normally, the car ran with all four 17 inch rims on them, but were removed this particular night for a small short film we were working on. This road-scraping footage was caught by accident.

Storyline Cont'd: But this case has a reward. It was murder! After some research, he manages to set up a meeting with Chris, a local boy who might know something about the recent murder. In fear of being found out, he knocks out the Adventurer and heads off to San Diego. A simple car chase ensues. Beat from the long drive, the Adventurer checks in with the Boss, informing him that the suspect will be apprehended tommorow. Knowing that he was followed, Chris sneaks into his room, in an attempt to strangle the Adventurer and get away free. Of course the cop knabs him man, and brings him back to Orange County. In a twist of fate, he manages to free himself and begins to wander the house, figuring a way out of this mess. As the fist-fight throughout the house, a gun is pulled out, which raises the stakes. Will the Adventurer catch his man? Will Chris get away?
BEHIND THE SCENES
The Adventurer was the first official movie made within the Brasscoe camp. It ran about about 20 minutes, which qualifies it as a short film but we still called it a movie. This was our first video project that was filmed, edited, and completed with a simple soundtrack. It was shown to a small audience of family members and friends. All this in 1991, by two boys ages 11 & 12.
I decided to place the movie online as it was originally made. A new widescreen color & audio corrected version will most likely be coming soon. This version is quite poor as it was mastered on VHS and edited by me from tape deck to tape deck. The only non-original item in this version is the title and still credit sequences. For some reason, the video card capture device would not record it properly, as it was a direct video output from the Apple IIc computer.
Originally, this story was filmed on a Betacam video camera, in which The Adventurer followed some bad guys to their hide out, got invloved in a car chase, and made out with the money. As cheesy as that sounds, the remote control race cars we used help to make it look like Erick was driving.
In this new movie, we developed the story a little better, now involving a slightly bigger cast and an actual plot. It was filmed over the course of a month. Thankfully we took a trip with the parents to San Diego, which gave us a chance to film Erick driving (he was in the back seat), and a hotel room for the big fight scene.
Being the first movie made by us in 1990, in does have an amatuerish feel. Those were the days of make up the story as we go. Originally, the story followed a guy nicknamed the Adventurer. He was a cop by day, and an adventure seeker by night. We maintained the original story as best we could.
POST PRODUCTION
In 1990, the only means of editing anything was from tape to tape transfers.
I would take all of the raw footage I had, play them on one vcr, and hit record on the other one, capturing only the shots I want. With that edited master now in one VCR, I played CD's with instrumentals on it for the soundtrack. In the end, the finished movie is basically a 3rd generation copy. Hence the reason for the poor color reproduction, fading, hazing, and sometimes mono soundtrack.
The movie was all filmed on VHS, by VHS cameras. Edited on a Sony Flying Erase Head VCR (was an expensive $400 at the time), and shown to our friends by video tape. As simple as it can be. All in all, I think it came out nice for a 12 year old's first editing showcase.

About the Film: On September 12th 1986, Captain EO, a 17 minute musical space fantasy movie premiered. It is the most expensive per minute film ever produced with gross costs of the film totalling U.S $30 million. It ran at Disneyland from 9/18/86 to 4/07/97.
Back in the early 90's, MTV aired Captain EO twice (no 3-D needed), and I was lucky enough to record it when it came on. And since I had it on hand, I decided to upload the film to my MySpace account on July 25, 2006.
The video has been seen over 22,000 times. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

BEHIND THE SCENES
I shot this during the taping. You will notice that rather than recording to an internal P2 card, I opted to capture the DVCProHD codec via Adobe OnLocation on my laptop.
POST PRODUCTION
Since I found out that Sony Vegas doesn't edit the DVCProHD codec natively, I converted all the footage to uncompressed-avi files, and went from there.
Also, it wasn't until I played back the captured footage, did I notice the yellowish and reddish tones. I adjusted the color curves, lowered the saturation by 50%, tweaked a Magic Bullet Look a bit (including adding some film grain), and finished it off with 50% sharpening.
I like the new color palette.

post_id = 4453 post_status = publish post_type = post post_field = Per usual, below is a list of some changes I've made to the site:
1. I no longer have each section of the site running in a separate Wordpress Blog. Thanks to Wordpress’ Custom Post Types, I was finally able to merge it all into one database, rather than having to re-create each item - post by post - thanks to the igneous plugin called “Post Type Convertr.” During the migration process, I managed to clean up a lot of the coding and unneeded pages laying around, too.
2. With all the blogs (sections of the site) in one place, I had to fix some broken links and create some new official re-directs for the main sections aside from the Blog, namely Movies, Pictures, Art & Design, and the Archive. For example, brasscoestudios.com/pictures was converted to pictures.brasscoestudios.com. And with that, all #118 blog posts were tweaked to have the URL's reach their intended target, or removed if invalid. Deleted areas were the planned Music section, along with all the Tape Logs (for now).
3. It took me a while to have both the Facebook LIKE button, and the Google+ button correctly display when viewing my site over various browsers and mobile devices. Removing some of the javascipt used for displaying certain fonts was the key. Also, those buttons can now be found in all areas of the site, rather than just in the blog posts.
4. With the above mentioned javascript change, I found out that using Google Fonts worked way better anyways!
[image_holder_start][image type=single id=5108 within=1 url=https://www.facebook.com/brasscoestudios ][image_holder_end]
5. Even though I already created a Facebook Fan Page for Brasscoe Studios a while ago, I was able to add a LIKE button for the website to the header. In addition, I added a tweaked Fan-Box widget to the sidebar, which displays image of those who have already Liked it.
6. I added breadcrumb trails to all of the sub areas. It was modified from the plugin “Prime Strategy Bread Crumb.”
7. Within the pictures section, I created a new area called “Photo Projects” and moved the Favorite Digital Images gallery into it. Also created are the galleries Black & White and The Jumping Project.
8. Lastly, I created a website icon:

PLEASE NOTE: The downloadable version is the rendered MiniDV AVI file.
The band, Bus Driver Roy (later known as Brought Down Running), met up at a local recording studio practice hall to film a simple music video. The idea was to film a few quick scenes of the band, edit it that night, and enter it into an online video contest. The bad lighting, mis-matched audio, and low charged batteries proved that this video was gonna take some time to complete.
Storyline: Although the video doesn't really follow any specific timeline, it does show the lead singer distraught over some girl's love.
Directed by - Cory Cooke
Edited By - Christopher Coe
Starring - Brought Down Running (Jeff, Cory, Paul, David and Dive)
Guest Starring - Kaylin and Jessie
SCREEN CAPTURES
BEHIND THE SCENES
We used 2 video cameras, both recording on MiniDV. The song was playing via a CD through the stereo system. After a couple of takes were recorded with a .5 wide angle lens, close-ups of each band member was taken. In order to capture the scenes that took place outside on the roof, we had to use one of the video cameras as a playback device. To do this, we had to stand by the stereo system and record the song onto DV tape.
POST PRODUCTION
I used Adobe Premiere 6.5 with DV settings to edit this video. I believe some 30 clips were captured. About 15 were simple band members singing to the music. The others were individual moments to be used as fillers, if needed.
The normal easy way to edit a music video, is to lay each full take of the band's performance on the timeline, line each one up with the CD Audio track, cut those full takes into parts, delete here and there, while still leaving the scenes you want at the right moment alone. Unknown at the time, the audio CD used on the day of recording didn't match up with the footage captured on MiniDV.
To remedy this, I had to take all of the shots that I wanted to use and move then forward or backwards, sometimes only a fraction of a second, to line up everyones mouth to the beat.
A few months later, the first official edit was complete. Once viewed by the band, and changes to be made were noted, I went ahead and completed the final edit. This completed the music video itself, except for the entire Look of the piece.
I rendered the video with a few basic effects in order to gain an idea on what the band wanted. After some 27 renders and 2 steadying-program tests, we got what we were after.
Color Correction:
1. I rendered the final edit in native DV with a dimension of 4:3 (720x480) with the NTSC standard of 30fps.
2. I then rendered the video again within Adobe After Effects 6 using the Super 16mm Letterbox as a buffer (it's not as cropped as the 16x9), but this time, I moved portions of the video up or down to prevent anything from getting cut off. I rendered that in native DV 4:3 (720x480) still at 30fps.
3. Lastly, I imported the video with the Super 16mm letterboxing into Sony Vegas 6.0. This is where I added all of the final Visual Effects that are in the video. The original idea was to make the walls completely white, while keeping the band in color. That didn't work because Adobe After Effects picked up the yellow from the walls, which also took away the features of everyone's face. So I decided to go with a film Bleach Bypass look.
Bleach Bypass is generally a processing technique known when developing movie film incorrectly, and causes a grainy black and white image with mild color tones.
To mimic that, I did some research on the net, and this is the formula I used:
11% white glow
color correction to remove most color (similar to black and white, but lets most reds come thru)
added 6% monochromatic noise
adjusted brightness/contrast
another black and white filter at 50% transparency
I then added a true 16x9 Widescreen TV Letterbox since I knew it will also be up-converted to High Definition in the future.
4. To finalize the piece, I rendered only in Widescreen using native DV 4:3 (720x480 Widescreen) again at NTSC 30fps, but this time with progressive, non-interlaced fields.

post_id = 2093 post_status = publish post_type = post post_field = In the past few months, I’ve made tons of changes to this site. Below is a short list of them:
1. For the Blog areas, I noticed that Internet Explorer fails to display my post titles correctly. This is because I use a little javascript program that converts the title of the post into an image, which is an easy method of being able to use any font you want, whether the viewer had it installed on their own system or not. In order to remedy this issue, I added code to display a message for those using IE to browse the site with another browser - such as Chrome or Firefox.
2. I have slowly started fixing all of my ftp uploads that connect my Flickr videos with the actual High Definition video used to upload to Flickr. It'll probably take me the year to get all 500+ videos added.
3. Speaking of Flickr videos, in order to be allowed to have my actual videos sitting in a download folder within my ftp area, I had to create a page linking back to this site. It automatically displays all of the videos so far added online. The link can also be found within the pictures menu.
4. On the pictures page, I fixed an issue where Firefox would display the next year’s set of image on the same line, rather than correctly starting on the next.
5. Up until last week, the gallery listing all digital image from 2000-2008 were manually created in a series of cell tables. I modified my method of displaying posts, in order to have it display the link only. Once that was achieved, I had to then re-add all those past image sets as new posts (by date), and watched as the populated the correct year area. The beauty of this method is when I decide to move 2009 in to that area, it will a simple line of code, rather than adding all 92 by hand.
6. I had to publicly remove some of my videos from the movies section, so I created a private area for those unlisted (and unsearchable) videos. Only a select few have the direct link to it. Also, a few other videos got removed simply because they're next in line to be re-mastered. I hope to get those back up shortly.
7. The Brasscoe Timeline, which lists all the clips & videos created so far, had all of it's links verified and corrected. The now-private videos are noted as such.
8. In the movie section, I tweaked the look of it - changing where the title appears, and displaying the views up front.
9. Also, the main movie image was changed to a silhouette of me and some of my camera equipment. It replaced the temporary image of my old camera, which was in place since 2008. I still plan to photograph an actual image that visually looks better, but it’ll do for now.
10. For my Tape Logs [link removed] section, I began scanning (OCR) all of my offline paperwork, in order to have complete and searchable listing.
11. Although I already mentioned that Captain EO was added to my archive, I finally uploaded the actual DVD file used when adding the video to MySpace years ago.
12. I removed the “posted dates” from all other website areas, except for the blog.
13. Lastly, I removed the FFlick link from the header, as that site was purchased by Google, and no longer displays my movie related posts.

post_id = 1984 post_status = publish post_type = post post_field = In the past year, I made tons of changes to this site. Here is a list of some of them:
1. I added some missing blog posts dated as-of when they were supposed to be posted. This goes all the way back to the site's 2008-ish reboot. There were some dated through 2007, but those were lost due to my failure to back them up correctly. In any case, I recommend re-browsing through all of it. You might find something you missed!
2. One the blog side, I finally removed the temporary main image, for one more suited to the site. Eventually, the main site image will feature both of the Brasscoe Co-Presidents. The Index site's polaroid image was also updated.
3. The blog's main menu was expanded to include some upcoming-posts-sections, while removing the image of the month and featured galleries areas. Those were combined into a favorite digital image page, which now showcases all the image I liked amongst the hundreds I take each month. That can be found within the pictures area.
4. Speaking of new website areas, I also added two new sections to the movie page. The tape logs were moved out of the archive section and now displays VHS and MiniDV [links removed] items separately. Also, I created the Brasscoe timeline [link removed], which chronologically lists some of the movies we have worked on.
5. In the movies section, I uploaded the video files used for each movie, making the clips available for download. A few of the old videos are accompanied with their original renders. I hope to re-master them soon. Side Note: I posted actual blog updates only for the movies I re-mastered. Older items will be posted when they get re-done.
6. The art & design section was revamped to include items I created, and how-to listings, along with my usual artwork.
7. Among the plugins I use for the site, I added postviews (by Lester Chan) to help me see a visual count of how many visitors were seeing the various sections of the site. I also added page numbers (by Jens Tornell) which allowed me to modify how my various page counts are displayed, rather than the next and previous default. Also, I added the search highlight (by Ryan Boren) plugin in order to help identify the terms used when searching through the blog posts.
8. Since the archive section was meant to hold the site's misc items, I created the other video area within it to showcase clips and shorts created in conjunction with Brasscoe, and some others I just wanted to show off.
9. On the html and css side, I moved most of the site's clip art and .php files into one folder, helping page load times by using the same items throughout (The site is actually made up of 9 individual blogs, all tweaked in different ways). Also, I learned how to use javascript in order to display any font on the website I wanted (whether the end-user had it installed on their computer or not).
As of right now, my small list of items to finish includes these two huge tasks:
1. As I finish my catch-up with old flickr photos, I realize the total count pending is over 90gb's worth. That's over 14000 image, and maybe 100 videos. Not too sure if I will ever be done.
2. I began a photo-scanning project and hope to have all 1000+ photographs up by the end of the year. This includes pictures from my childhood, and when I worked at Disneyland during it's construction phase in 1999.
Now, if I can only figure out solutions to my two current problems...
1. Why won't Wordpress let me upgrade the blog from 3.0 to 3.1 without problems.
2. Finding a stable hack for my Panasonic GF1. So far, I successfully completed a modification to the firmware with PTools changing the video recording size from 720p to 1080p, but want it to maintain the HD MJPEG quality at a 50-80 MBps data rate without issue, which is a big step up from the default 15 MBps setting. Probably need to get a Class 10 SDHC card.

post_id = 632 post_status = publish post_type = post post_field = There are a number of things I've been doing behind the scenes, so I decided to list them here:
1. Archiving - I now have about 50 miniDV & HDV tapes, filled with footage from 2000 until now. I have since begun digitally capturing every tape, from beginning to end, to the hard drive. Each hour takes up about 13gb of space. So far, I have captured DV tapes 1-8 and 19. Once the drive is filled up, I will submit it for online backup. The purpose of capturing an identical copy to the HDD is to not lug out each cassette when looking for footage.
2. Tape Logs - Speaking of searching through content, I have added the MiniDV/HDV & VHS Tape Logs [links removed] to the archive section. Although not entirely complete, or verified to be accurate (most were written years ago with no time-code to date stamp it), I plan to list the content of every tape on hand.
3. Raw Footage Updates - In going through my tape archiving, I have come across raw footage of moments recorded that (to some) may find interesting or funny. At least to me, it is. Some of that footage will finally make it's way online, or help to re-master content already available, but in HD.
4. Re-Mastering - There are still quite a few videos left online that are low in quality due to its upload date compared to when Vimeo & YouTube finally made the change to 1080p viewable. Arg! So obtaining all that raw footage is helping me do that! The first item for complete re-master and re-edit is the NYE 2000 / Pseudo Porno short film. I am halfway done with the edit in Sony Vegas HD, and will make it a nice 10 minute version, removing all the extra non-essential junk that sat in there all this time.
5. HD Downloads - I have now made it a habit to first upload the High Def versions of my Flickr videos to my site before I add them to Flickr. This way, once added, someone will have the option to view on Flickr (which has proven to be horrible when a low-light video is added with lots of video noise), or download the full HD version I used in the first place. I have also tried to go back and add the other missing HD versions of other videos. Yes, I plan to have it all online, soon.
6. Flickr - Yes, I have lagged so much on this! It is mostly due to my backup & re-organizing attempts. At last count, I still need to upload 29.7gb of stuff. That's almost 2900 image and almost 100 more video clips! Oddly enough, in my other backup folders, I have found even older content that was thought to be lost. I hope to finally be back in the Flickr mode this weekend and get it all up before the New Year.
[image_holder_start][image type=single id=3837 within=1 ][image_holder_end]
7. Lastly, backup! - Since I am realizing that my hard drives won't last forever, I have since been using mozy.com to backup all my content. At the moment, I have 283.8gb backed up online, and 2.2 still in progress. When all is said and done, the 500gb drive I use a my main content holder, will have its copy online (just in case). XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
post_id = 577 post_status = publish post_type = post post_field = It's hard to believe I haven't made a full site update since January! Time flies...
First off, I had to put aside my flickr updates for over a month while I re-designed this entire website. The choice to do so was when I found out I can run multiple blog indexes under one main blog component! It has made my updating efforts a breeze. To get a glimpse of the nerdy process, feel free to watch the youtube video I found: Create Multiple WordPress Blogs Using a Single Database. It was the most simplistic way to do it, I found.
In the past, I had to manaully modify each website section by hand, taking the html grid and thumbnail placements and changing it all in GoLive, which is an HTML editor. Now, all I need to do is add the updates as a new posting, and it moves the older items over.
As for Wordpress templates, I used The Unstandard for all of the website sections: art, archive, movies & pictures. For the actual blog section, I went with Plainscape. I did my best to match the multiple blogs into one consistent look that matched up, site-wide.
In the before & after screen shots below, you can see how much I needed to change everything from stock.
[image_holder_start][image type=double id=5108 within=2 ][image type=double id=5108 within=3 ][image_holder_end]
This includes the page layouts.
[image_holder_start][image type=double id=5108 within=4 ][image type=double id=5108 within=5 ][image_holder_end]
The hardest modification came from the section templates. I found one that displayed blog posts as image and had to severely tweak them!
[image_holder_start][image type=double id=5108 within=6 ][image type=double id=5108 within=7 ][image_holder_end]
And again for the page layout.

As far as catching up on pictures goes, I am so behind.
Currently, I have about 25 sets and a few misc updates to upload to Flickr. Doing a search, it looks like a total of about 3000+ pictures and about 100+ videos! Those updates are coming soon.

On Friday December 6th, Ian and I were done drinking and trying to crash at Nicole’s house, knocking on her door at 3am. Since there was no answer, we crashed in my car. Me, in the back seat, and him sleeping out on the grass, next to the car… with his feet inside, on my passenger seat. Now, with the door open until 7am, and me with no jacket, I assume I caught the cold that way. Argg!
Exhibit A:
[image_holder_start][image type=single id=3684 within=1 ][image_holder_end]
Anyway, here is a list of what I have been doing:
12/5 Uploaded most of HD versions of straggling 2008 digital camera videos.
12/15 Began to prep 2006 for tags.
12/16 Finished tagging all of the 2006 image, but realized I messed up on a few.
12/17 Cataloged the HDV tape #53 and added it to the tape logs. I also added a temporary link to both tape logs and published it to the website.
12/19 I finished all 2006 tags.
12/20 I rendered the 2007 Halloween video back to HDV tape as a Master.
12/21 Began to create the video page for the Halloween video on the website.
12/22 & 12/23 I worked on finalizing a corrected output master for both raw footage videos (jack in the box & palm desert). Printing it to HDV tape for the Master and back to MiniDV just didn’t work as I wanted.
12/24 I created the movie pages for both the Jack In The Box & Palm Desert Golf Cart Dummies videos. I decided that all MiniDV footage will be Mastered as 720p HD at 30fps or 24fps (depending on originating frame rate).
12/25 Verified my logs for DV tapes #2 and #4. I noted HDV tape #54 which contains the raw footage of the BDR acoustic session at Travis’. I also uploaded the corrected 720p version of Jack In The Box to YouTube & MySpace.
12/26 I began to edit the BDR acoustics session. I also uploaded the Palm Desert Dummies 720p version to YouTube & MySpace.
12/27 I uploaded the 2007 Mareanne Halloween 720p version of the video to YouTube & my ftp. On that ftp, I also continued to upload the other HD versions of the videos for public downloads. Lastly, I rendered the BDR song Danger of Monotony at The Roxy video.
12/28 Uploaded the BDR Roxy 720p HD video to YouTube & MySpace, along with adding it to my ftp. I also rendered out the Flickr videos from my company holiday party.
12/29-1/4 I took all my free time to catch up and render out all of the videos that accompany the image to their color-corrected and edited Flickr versions.
1/5 I began to upload the image & videos to Flickr that I have taken over the past month but noticed a problem. Flickr has since chosen to use the new H.264 MPEG-4 codec for their uploaded videos. I like the idea, but it is seemingly changing my videos’ frame rates which is causing a ghosting/strobbing effect. So until the problem is figured out, I will only upload image that weren’t taken with any videos.
I enjoyed my Christmas and New Year vacation time off. Now back to the regular routine! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

10/27 & 10/28: Began to render my birthday videos.
10/29: Having wanted to see some old footage, I popped in and captured my MiniDV tape #04. It shows me and my cousins, Luis & John, in a Buena Park drive-thru in 2000. I decided to quickly edit the raw footage for Youtube.
10/30: After normalizing the audio, I began to render out various versions, attempting to remove the 30fps interlacing for a correct 24 progressive image.
11/6: I finally uploaded the Jack In The Box Drive Thru raw footage.
11/10: On the same tape, I found some PD footage, named it Palm Desert Golf Cart Dummies. Also began to re-design the Movie section.
11/11: Finished my birthday videos - to be posted up soon. Cont’d on the Movie section.
11/12: Uploaded the new Movie section design - STILL UNFINISHED.

post_id = 4519 post_status = publish post_type = post post_field = After two weeks, I finally finished my latest video - footage from Mareanne's 8th annual Halloween party! But more on that later...
Due to time constraints, I only managed to upload 2 galleries to my Flickr account, as seen in the previous post, with 1 more pending; my birthday!!! There were about 380 image taken that night, along with 7-or-so videos. I pretty much don't remember any of it. I plan to get those up next week, after rendering out the videos for Flickr.
Anyway, I received an email from Youtube on 10/16/08 that scared me at first. I thought I had lost the rights to show off my most popular video, 2001 Toyota Corolla, due to Copyright Infringement! What!?!

It turns out that the song I used, Kanye West - Two Words, was detected by Universal (UMG) but was deemed acceptable and left untouched - public - so long as a small advertisement is placed on the webpage.
I thought to myself: Oh, in that case... Sure! No problem. I guess reaching over 20,000 hits prompts the system to double check the video and/or audio content.

new:
[image_array image_post_id=3260 image_number=2 image_target=blank link_to_post_id=3260]
:new
Along with a product video found on YouTube, here are the directions found on the manufacture's website, if needed:
PAC SWI-PS for Scion TC 2007
1. Quick description before we start wiring the SWI-PS.
The SWI-PS's wire color we are going to use is White. This is the White wire on the SWI-PS, not the vehicle!
The other wires on the SWI-PS, green, yellow, orange and blue wires are not used for your Scion tC.
This leaves you with a Red, Black and two loop wires. These wires will be discussed down below.
2. (picture not attached)
3. Connecting the SWI-PS's steering wheel control input wire to vehicle plug.
Read the note in the chart below.
Note #2
Connect pin 6 wire to ground. Connect pin 7 to the INTERFACE's White wire. Connect one end of a 560 ohm resistor to pin 8,
then connect the other end of the resistor to the INTERFACE's white wire. So basically you will have two wires,
one with a resistor in series, connected to the INTERFACE's White wire.
4. Connecting power and ground wires.
Black wire: Connect the SWI-PS's black wire to chassis ground. This is usually a black wire on the aftermarket wire kit.
Red wire: Connect the SWI-PS's red wire to a switched +12volt wire. This is usually a red wire on the aftermarket wire kit.
5. Instructions for cutting or not cutting loop wires.
Step A: The purple loop wire does not need to be cut. (unless stated different previously)
Step B: The brown loop wire does not need to be cut. (unless stated different previously)
6. Programming the SWI-PS with a version number.
The SWI-PS has to be programmed for version # 8.
#1. Press and hold the Program Button on the SWI-PS while turning on the vehicle to the accessory position. The LED will turn on.
#2. Release the Program Button and the LED will turn off.
#3. Press the Program Button 8 times. Each time you press and release the Program Button, the LED will turn on and off.
Once you press the Program Button 8 times, wait or 3 seconds. The LED will flash eight times indicating
it is programmed for version 8. If it flashes the wrong version number, you will have to start all over
at step 1 above in this section. Turn the key off.
#4. Once you have programmed the correct version number, you will not have to do these steps again. If you need to reprogram the steering wheel control, you can go directly to the next section.
7. Programming the SWI-PS to learn steering wheel control functions.
#1. Turn the key to the accessory position (you do not need to hold the Program Button at this time). The LED will flash 8 times. This indicates it is programmed for version 8.
#2. Press the Program Button until the LED turns on, then release the button (This will erase all previous learned steering wheel control functions).
The SWI-PS is now ready to learn a command from the steering wheel.
#3. The SWI-PS must be programmed in the specific order shown in the chart below. If a function is not needed, it may be skipped.
Programming order for SWI-PS N/A
1 Volume Up
2 Volume Down
3 Mute
4 Track Up/ Seek Up
5 Track Down/ Seek Down
6 Source
7 Preset Up/ Disc Up
8 Preset Down/ Disc Down
9 Band
New functions added for Pioneer
10 Phone Status, Rev. 1.6.7
11 Answer Call, Rev. 1.6.7
12 End Call, Rev. 1.6.7
13 Voice Recognition, Rev. 1.6.8
4. With the LED on, press your steering wheel button until the light goes out and hold for one second more.
5. Release and the LED should come back on. If it does not please double check all connections and verify for correct version programming.
6. Repeat step 4 and 5 to program additional steering wheel buttons in the order corresponding to the chart above for your SWI interface.
7. If you come across a command in the chart that your steering wheel does not have, or you do not want to program, press the Program Button on the side of the SWI interface.
8. The LED will flash once rapidly and then stay on confirming that you have successfully skipped that command and are ready for the next button.
9. When you are done programming all the buttons, wait for about 7 seconds. The LED will flash 3 times indicating it is done programming. The LED will then flash 8 times indicating the version number.
8. Testing the SWI-PS.
#1. Connect the plug to back of radio's steering wheel input jack or harness.
#2. With the vehicle on, press a steering wheel button to control the stereo. The SWI-PS should control the aftermarket stereo
with the function you taught it. Test all other buttons.
#3. If the interface does not control the radio as the steering wheel indicates, the buttons were either pressed in the wrong order
or a step was not skipped properly. Return to category 7 and reprogram.
#4. Make sure all unused wires are isolated separately.
#5. After all commands are verified to work properly, secure the SWI interface so that tension will not pull either
of the connectors loose or apart.
9. That's it! Enjoy!

Around the time I was working at Disneyland (1998), I made a little website showcasing some of the pictures that were taken then. The image collection grew to include the original parking lot, construction of California Adventure, the day our Harbor Blvd. Disneyland sign came down, and a night the few of us walked the rides. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
post_id = 3184 post_status = publish post_type = post post_field = Various versions of the site over the years.
Some of our original websites were hosted for free on GeoCities and were created with Aol Press. Yes, it was pretty simple and plain (2000-10-26).
A while later, I learned how to make a bit more clean and polished website (2002-07-21).
As I got better at working with HTML, I made the switch over to Adobe GoLive and changed up my website's design (2005-02-01).
This was the pictures page (2005-02-01) and the old Archive page (2005-02-01).
To make the actual gallery pages, I used a self-modified JAlbum program to create my image thumbnails and galleries, while also still having it match my website's design (2005-01-18).
After getting comfortable with GoLive's template features, I was able to build my sites in pieces, which would let me make one change, and have that change appear on all pages. This new design followed the last, which was a bit more streamlined in each section (2006-04-06).
The archive page (2006-08-22):
For some time, I used a newly created website to showcase my artwork and paintings (2006-10-18).
The pictures page evolved little over time - screen shot one (2006-10-18) and two (006-11-27):
Undergoing a whole new re-design, I made all the updates display on the main page (2007-04-13). The about page (2007-04-13).
I modified the site's look again (2007-04-25).
The main news and updates page (2007-04-25). About Brasscoe Studios (2007-04-19).
Here are two movie pages created. One for a pending title (2007-06-08) and a quick short I did while in Newport Beach (2007-06-11).
The index page changed a few times - The bloody one (2007-04-21), followed by a simpler one (2007-06-24).
Once I made a simpler index page, I modified the main page. One had me with my video camera (2007-06-11), while the other was a reflection (2007-06-24).
I decided to change up the pictures page (2007-08-16).
Yet another total redesign: The index page (2008-01-28). I made a test main page (2008-01-28).
The main page finished (2008-03-13). The archive page (2008-01-28).
The movies page (2008-03-13). And an individual movie page (2008-03-13).

[ Watch the video I made showcasing my coil-over set up on YouTube ]
Above is quick overview of the process. Below is a step-by-step guide on what I did:
1. The stock springs sit on top of a very large perch.
2. When removed, each spring is a very wide and short (when compressed).
3. This is the stock macpherson strut, without spring.
4. Coil-overs can be used to re-adjust ride-height without the need to change springs.
5. Initially, I placed the coil-overs on top of the stock struts, but that only gave me 1 inch of wheel travel.
6. This was due to the fact that the spring-perch sits on top of the wheel.
7. My cousin and I began to remove the spring perch, in order to lower where the coil-over sits.
8. The stock strut, minus the perch.
9. With it removed, the coil-over sits dramatically lower.
10. Luckily they make 2.5 inch diameter springs, which just barely clear my 18x7.5 inch rims.
11. Here is a better view.
12. This is what the vehicle looked like when lowered over 5 inches in front, on stock wheels.
13. After some time, I decided to change my original pair of coil-over springs, for a softer & taller pair.

[[NEW14:
[image_array image_post_id=3270 image_number=14 image_target=blank link_to_post_id=3270]
:NEW14]]
14. The finished product.
15. With the coil-overs installed, I was able to maintain a softer/smoother ride, 5.45 inches below the stock ride height, all without much sacrificing wheel travel.

While at an import auto show, I noticed a car with a semi-frosted instrument panel. About a month later, I saw an ad for the same items and was surprised that the were selling the pieces for about $200 each. I admit, I was a bit impressed with the look. I never really did prefer the glowing dash kits that were actually popular at the time.
Then one day, I decided to see if I can make something similar. Upon completion, I kept it as my dash for the next 5 years.
[ Watch the video I made showcasing my clear dash kit on YouTube ]
Below is a step-by-step guide on what I did:
1. The dash panel is surrounded by a piece of plastic.
2. Unscrew the top two areas. Then pull off the cover.
3. Once exposed, remove the two bottom screws.
4. Pull out the entire instrument cluster.
5. Unplug the four connectors holding it to the dash.
6. This will leave a hole in the dash.
7. This is the instrument panel as a whole.
8. You will need to pop off ONLY the black/white clips. Do not touch the clear/black clips!
9. Remove the cover piece.

I saw this image on the inside cover of Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle" album, and decided to submit it as my art project final. While everybody was drawing abstract image of flowers and shapes, I drew an image of the newest rap-artist propelled by the "gangsta-rap" era. My teacher didn't know who he was, but allowed it. I bet you he knows now!

Thick Drawing Paper : Un-Framed
When the whole import car scene began to explode in 97, I was obsessed with drawing race car inspired image. I had to make a backwards template, splash it with color, and then transfer it to a piece of thick drawing paper. In art class, kids were drawing flowers and shapes. I drew race cars, and their drivers.
The Backwards Template I Used:

When I was working at a fast food place, my buddy and I were goofing off in the back area during my break. I pushed him back and he ended up falling over the mess we made.

Ali-G, who's real name is Sacha Baron Cohen, is a well known British comic. This is the first "face drawing" I attempted to draw in Oils. Since I only had a starter set of colors, I did my best to get a full range of depth.

I went out and bought a nice huge canvas and needed an image to draw. A pretty girl always works. I have never been good with faces, so this is my valiant attempt to draw one, nonetheless with oils.
IN PROGRESS

BEHIND THE SCENES
The Adventurer was the first official movie made within the Brasscoe camp. It ran about about 20 minutes, which qualifies it as a short film but we still called it a movie. This was our first video project that was filmed, edited, and completed with a simple soundtrack. It was shown to a small audience of family members and friends. All this in 1991, by two boys ages 11 & 12.
I decided to place the movie online as it was originally made. A new widescreen color & audio corrected version will most likely be coming soon. This version is quite poor as it was mastered on VHS and edited by me from tape deck to tape deck. The only non-original item in this version is the title and still credit sequences. For some reason, the video card capture device would not record it properly, as it was a direct video output from the Apple IIc computer.
Originally, this story was filmed on a Betacam video camera, in which The Adventurer followed some bad guys to their hide out, got invloved in a car chase, and made out with the money. As cheesy as that sounds, the remote control race cars we used help to make it look like Erick was driving.
In this new movie, we developed the story a little better, now involving a slightly bigger cast and an actual plot. It was filmed over the course of a month. Thankfully we took a trip with the parents to San Diego, which gave us a chance to film Erick driving (he was in the back seat), and a hotel room for the big fight scene.
Being the first movie made by us in 1990, in does have an amatuerish feel. Those were the days of make up the story as we go. Originally, the story followed a guy nicknamed the Adventurer. He was a cop by day, and an adventure seeker by night. We maintained the original story as best we could.
In 1990, the only means of editing anything was from tape to tape transfers.
I would take all of the raw footage I had, play them on one vcr, and hit record on the other one, capturing only the shots I want. With that edited master now in one VCR, I played CD's with instrumentals on it for the soundtrack. In the end, the finished movie is basically a 3rd generation copy. Hence the reason for the poor color reproduction, fading, hazing, and sometimes mono soundtrack.
The movie was all filmed on VHS, by VHS cameras. Edited on a Sony Flying Erase Head VCR (was an expensive $400 at the time), and shown to our friends by video tape. As simple as it can be. All in all, I think it came out nice for a 12 year old's first editing showcase.
