Watch the prequels. I doubt you'll love them, but they're fun. Even if there are tons of things that you complain about (testing positive for Jedi), if you like the universe, you'll enjoy them. But be prepared for really wooden performances from actors that should know better. And some...

I love the Clone Wars cartoon series! Not as much as the Genndy Tartakosky Clone Wars mini-series that aired around the time of the movies, but as you said, it's surprisingly well done. And I agree that the movie version was sort of mediocre at best. That said we will disagree on Attack of...

first new Sleep song in 20 years. Sleep is the band that made me realize I don't hate all metal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEl92SfUv3k

Thanks for watching/listening, richy! Kinda funny you should mention the tree shot in Winter, since that's the one I've been working with making more distinct! The straight lines make the eventual warps and morphs a little more clear too, which I think reinforces the overall meaning of the...

I've heard this before (the article you linked was from 2007) and I seem to recall an interview where he explained what he meant a little better. Here's a more recent interview with Joss Whedon (whose opinion I respect more than Mr. Lucas anyway) saying something similar...

Experiment #2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shqCsd_c1zo A little more heavy-handed in terms of the visual metaphors. Any thoughts?

A+ I would attend if I could!

Congrats on the nominations! As you said, worst comes to worst, you have a fun weekend, but it's awesome that you got some recognition! I just did mine this weekend; our screening is next Saturday, but I think the film is really good (well, one of the films. I ended up doing two this weekend...

Well, as a comic book fan, I would say it COULD be done. There have been some great works over the years, accomplished with visuals without dialogue or onomatopoeia sound effects (the "boom" "thwack" sort of stuff people usually associate with comics). It's a different medium of course, but I...

Yeah, you could definitely blend the two. Have some stripped down minimal versions of the songs to break up the main recording, depending on how the narration flows. For example, if track 3 hints at some of the themes explored in track 6, have an acoustic version of a couple bars of track 6...

The first example that comes to mind is The Residents. They've done films, dvds, cd-rom games, internet short series all based on albums. Lana del Rey has been doing some long-form videos lately, similar to your Springsteen example (for that matter, Michael Jackson's Thriller is the classic...

Thanks for watching and for the feedback! I'm going for a sort of artfilm type approach...what I'm going for with the static is the idea of looking out a window during a snowstorm...you catch glimpses of the landscape outside, but that gets muddled with things you think you see; memories and...

Horror movies. Man, I don't even know when it began. Grew up with the classics (a distinct memory of watching Creature From The Black Lagoon when I was 5). Watched whatever I could growing up; was very much into Twilight Zone. Read Stephen King and Dean Koontz books as I could get them. In...

Happy birthday and wishes for many more!!

right up my alley indeed; keep me in the loop! and while I'm brainstorming: a choose-your-own-adventure done with vines!

This. Do this. Or, combine the idea; 3 panel vine to tell a story. Could end up somewhere in the neighborhood of this: http://www.asofterworld.com/

thanks richy! the story is coming along great! I'm almost done with the third issue, and the first arc (8 issues) is pretty well planned out. I'll probably be done writing it by the time the artist finishes the first! mussonman, pm-ing you the script to the first issue now!

created and using it as a music video, but really it's more experimental. Work in progress (second draft); there are still a few things I'd like to tweak, but wanted to see what other people thought: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfBIO7knjq4 The plan is to do a full length experimental film...

word. well, in that case, when you have a good idea, you can rest assured there is a framework/market to hang it on!
