End of the Year

IDVP classes are done 'till the fall. *tear*
I do however have public speaking this summer.
*yuck* Two words that should never go
together summer and school.
I'm going to take my rest and watch some flicks...

Casualties Recut

A day late a dollar short I know...
Mother's Day, finals, and such.

Well here ya' go everybody it's my recut of 'Casualties'! This was Standby Productions entry into the Minneapolis Film Race for 2009. Much like the 48 Film Project. (Which is this June! So keep your eyes open ya' heard me?)

Friday, April 3rd at 10PM the Theme of a second chance and the Surprise Element of blowing a bubble were announced to all the teams. Within twenty-four hours we had to turn in a final render of our flick to Bryant Lake Bowl! It's was an adventure as these bad boys always are...

The final we video we turned in was in my opinion in need of some audio sweetening and some recuts so I made them and I present them to you all...
A day late and a dollar short.

I went with some George Lucas esque Star Wars' wipes. I'm really of a fan of the one between contestants number two and three. My only regret I never went with a lightsaber in place of the gun. Damn.

I also added some echo to death. I boosted the ambiance of purgatory with some monster/ghoul groans, fire, and water drips to name a few. I threw in the black panther fist from Mr. Brady for the kids who just have moms. Ahhh... Damn that was funny at five in the morning. Oh yeah, let's not forget the mic's gift to me... Electronic buzzing. Double Damn!

Let me know what you all think of it...

Lack of Updates... No Longer!

Sorry, for the lack of updates everyone.
I've been researching, learning, and
practicing my 'triggernometry'...
'Cause they always fuzzy dawg!

Mostly I've been helping the folks as at my second home in the Interactive Design / Video Production department at Hennepin Technical College. Troubleshooting FCP as well as equipment and in some case straight up learnin' us some new stuff...
Thanks, Daniel-San, DarkJado, and Ox...

I've also been watching some truly great films! Brick, Oldboy, Shogun Assassin, Watchmen, and Laura to name a few. Yes, that's also research! Did behind the scenes footage on the set of 'A Young Heart' now that was a story... Take 13's and unsolicited advice. Yikes!

I was the Director of Photography on Standby Productions' entry into the Minneapolis Film Race 2009. I've been working on a recut of it and will post it for you all to see tomorrow...

Yup. Lastly, I've got some good news and some bad news... That's all just a bunch a malarkey for a later time...


One last word. Workflow.
