Looking back on last year I can’t believe how much stuff happened… yet I still feel like not much happened. The memory bank video above is just a small taste of video that I had at hand while editing. I forgot to add to the memory bank footage from Las Vegas (WPPI and Photoshop world) and Big Bear. Well, I’m sure I also left more things out of my memory bank video too… someone help me remember please.
Thank you, yes you… you who are reading this and watching the video… you are probably in it and probably think it is pretty boring. I made this video for myself thinking of you though, it is here for me to remember the good times we had.

That was wonderful! We watched it twice it was so good. Three things I take away from this video: 1) You hd a busy freaking year; 2) You are around many attractive women; 3) Bonny is ridiculously awesome and hilarious!
Sweet! Twice? That is cool.
Yes, last year was very full. Yes, hotties everywhere!!! None as hot as Bonny though.
Wow, what an awesome year. So nice to see all the wonderful things you’ve been up to. Plus, especially awesome to see behind the scenes footage from our still unreleased Galacticast collaboration
I love you all… Let’s do more of this in 2010!
Maybe Vu will get to editing it soon. Then the world can see!
Oooooohhhhhhhaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!! One of the biggest things I forgot to put in were the JINX TV commercials!!!!
Awesome. I didn’t remember that you caught that moment when I was interviewing Mike Hudack for my book, Get Seen, while at SXSW last year.
Here’s that interview (unedited):

I captured that same moment at 5:30.
Here’s a frame grab from my video:

Yeah, I only recorded a few seconds of it… But it was so fun.
Your book is for sale!!!
Anyone reading this can get Steve’s book here: http://bit.ly/50dZD5
Thanks for the memories! 2009 was a great year for us and 2010 looks like it will be even better:)
The trip out to your wedding was so awesome. Thank so much for having us, it was a great time!
Great looking footage from a wonderful year, Lan! Nat and I loved the snaps from both of our 2009 photoshoots, and I can’t wait to have you on set for my next film! You’re a talented photographer and a spectacular friend!
All best in 2010, Lan!
~Matt
Dude, I so want to be on set for photos!!!
Yeah the shoots were great, soon we will blog the last one on thebuibrothers.com.
Ok, first off, I feel all kinds of special deep down inside where my fantasies of being Marty McFly still live for being the thumbnail on your 2009 Memory Bank!
I loved this video – so many awesome people, so many awesome memories. Watching this made me miss 2009 *sigh* Fantastic video, Lan.
You did look pretty cool there. I did have to leave in the sound of everyone laughing at you though.
So I love love love that I got to be a little tiny part of your amazing 2009! This video is so awesome, and I am so stoked for you to get to do so many awesome things – with awesome people , in awesome places! Hoping 2010 is even more awesomer!
You were the coolest person to attend our lighting workshop!!! How could I not put you in it?
Beautiful! I don’t collect memories very well, photos and real video, so this is such an inspiration. What a wonderful collection
I’m so happy to be a part of it!
XOXO
Felicia
I’m sure while I record thing it annoys people… But in the end I like having these clips of our lives. Keep in mind a number of those videos were from my iPhone!
I’m also very glad to have gotten to know you more last year!
What an amazing talent and glowing soul you are. The love in your life is so beautiful. I feel all fuzzy after watching this. May 2010 be even more packed with good friends and love! (And some hugs from me, of course.)
Thanks man! Seeing you at SXSW was great.
Wow that was so fun to watch! What a busy 2009 you had. Ly and I feel so special to be a part of this amazing video. Thanks for sharing it. Can’t wait to see what you have in store this year.
Best wishes to you and Bonny in 2010!!!
How could I not include such a great wedding couple like you two! We were on a boat, that was so nice.
This is wonderful! So happy to be part of your “specials”, we think you guys are special too!:) Here’s to an equally wonderful 2010 (possibly sans drunken karaoke)!
But Beth your drunken karaoke moments are just SO memorable!
You jumped on the love sac as well, that is not so drunk. Just good safe fun.
My favorite parts are where all the jumping into the LoveSacs happen… then the transition with the snow… sweet sweet stuff.
I think next year’s video will be like 15 minutes… and by the time 2015 rolls around there will be a full documentary for each year.
Maybe it will be an hour long next year! The epic memory film.
TRINIDAD!!!!!!!! What a great video! I’ll never forget the sunscreen! Love you guys!
Um… I think you can take the (soon to be) part out now. Just sayin’.
Tobago was so fun… Just wish Bonny was able to have gone.
Wow! I had smiles the whole time! I’m so glad to be friends with you, Bonny, and Vu. This video has totally inspired me to make a 2010 memory bank vid!
I can’t wait to see what adventures this years video will bring!
Dude this year will be awesome… the only sucky thing about both mine and Lan’s 2009 videos was that we both forgot to use the Big Bear snow footage!!!
Yes! Make one. I love watching other peoples videos. Gets me all emotional
That was a great video. It looked like an awesome year for you and hopefully 2010 will be even better!
Thank, your shoot was cool. I can’t wait to blog it! Soon, very soon.
Yay! So glad the bats made it in ! This video makes me want to hang out with you guys like ALL THE TIME because it looks like there’s constantly little real/beautiful/awesome moments surrounding you. And you appreciate them. Which is a testament to your filmmaking talent, in addition to a testament to you and your friends basically being awesome all the time
Happy New Year!
Austin was so fun with you. Maybe you will join us for SXSW and we can all do the bats! Bonny has not seen them yet.
Wow, thanks for that nice compliment!
I can’t imagine the amount of footage you would have to go thru to make a “year in review” type video. I’m super impressed. This was lovely. Thank you for including me in your year! You, Vu and Bonny are such great people.
Yeah… I went through a TON of footage…
It was very nice though, usually I shoot and shoot and shoot but never see any of it ever. Doing this took a long time because I watched so much of it, but it was nice to be able to see it. I get so nostalgic.
WOW! I’m so honored that you remembered me…or wait…was it cause you couldn’t get me out of your head? Or maybe cause it was like, “dude I had to put you in there, you drove me nuts!” hahaha love u Lan. Cool to see how much you accomplished! Keep on it brother.
HAHA! Yeah… I couldn’t get you out…
Seriously though, it was great to hang out and work with you.
That was gorgeous. Must be nice that your desire to create a video memory bank is only enhanced by your talent and eye for fabulous visuals. Total eye candy throughout and captivating moments caught. Loved it. Thanks for including us! xoxo
Must say, though, the part I found most…jaw-dropping out of sheer loss of words was the part where Rudy was being tickled repeatedly (by you?) on the giant beanbags. Hi-LARIOUS!
First… thank you so much for making me feel good!
Unfortunately I was not the privileged one to be invited to tickle Rudy. That was the master of tickle Spytap Barrett.
amazing! you are very lucky to have such an awesome group of friends and an awesome job that allows you to do so many amazing things. It also helps to be married to an incredible person like Bonny. Here’s to awesome 2010!!
Bonny is amazing, yes yes YES!
Yeah, I love all my friends!
