    Production Diary: Music Video

    I'm pretty confident we can pull it off. Like, 80% confident. We'll see how it goes once I have some actual footage... We've got two generators already lined up, one to run a bunch of work lights and clamp lights and one to run our 2000 watt PA system. And I have LED lantern lights for a...

    Production Diary: Music Video

    Here are the rest of the location pics... That's the metal support frame that runs up through the building to support the radar dome. That's the view from the second floor, along with my co-producer. Doors to the freight elevator shaft. I wish there was some way to film the band coming...

    Production Diary: Music Video

    Location Scouting Adventures! So my co-producer (who's the band's bassist, singer, and songwriter) and I went up to the old military base where we'll be filming today to come up with a more cohesive plan for the day when we actually shoot. I had planned on bringing my GH1 with me so I could...

    Use of alien mask - copyright infringement?

    I'm not a lawyer, and to be 100% sure, you should probably seek actual legal advice, but here's my take on it. Unless the mask is for a specific character (like from the Alien movies), it's not copyright infringement. To be on the safe side, she could seek permission from the person who created...

    Production Diary: Music Video

    I've mentioned it a few times in various posts here, but the music video I've been in pre-production on since spring is finally moving forward! Here's where we're at: - Location for the band footage is secured (it's a Cold War-era military installation on top of a mountain, completely...

    Anyone else going to Stowe Story Labs?

    Thanks everyone! I'm excited to do it. I've applied for fellowships and other workshops in the past, but this is the first time I've been accepted to one!

    /// Shot by a GH1 or GH2

    I don't think I've posted this in here yet. Short I did back in the spring of 2012. Shot on a hacked GH1 (I can't remember which hack is was now. Sorry. I was doing a lot of customization of existing hacks back then, so that was probably it) with a Helios 44-2 lens (still my favorite bit of...

    Anyone else going to Stowe Story Labs?

    I could be wrong, but I think jmoschner was talking about the film community here in Vermont, and to that, I would have to agree.

    Anyone else going to Stowe Story Labs?

    I know we have a few New England filmmakers here, and was wondering if anyone else was attending Stowe Story Labs next month? It sounds like it's going to be an awesome weekend, with five filmmakers offering workshops on development, outlining, pitching, and understanding the market. There are...

    Kick-ass Music Videos

    Closer is one of my all-time favorite videos. Most NIN videos are pretty awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTFwQP86BRs The same goes for most Marilyn Manson videos, but I like this one in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKkiCFOE-Ic Not sure why, but I kind of love this...

    Music video basics - Crew

    I'm not 100% sure on the playback setup at the moment, but that's a top priority. We may end up having to use one of the vehicle stereos for it, since power is an issue (and yes, we'll start the vehicle periodically to let the battery charge, and make sure we have jumper cables just in case ;)...

    Music video basics - Crew

    I'm doing a music video for one of my close friends next month and I'm getting a little nervous about it. The guys in this band are really serious musicians (one of them has done some producing, and is the drummer for a really well-known regional band). The big shoot I'm worried about is the...

    Help identifying a film? I need your collective wisdom!

    I watched a movie sometime in the past year or so (though it wasn't necessarily a new film) that had a quote about how everyone is better than everyone else at three things (or everyone is best at three things or something). So, like, I'm better at X, Y, and Z, but you might be better at A, B...

    The Baytown Outlaws "After her ex-husband Carlos shoots Celeste three times in the gut, it's time to play dirty. In the fight for her godson, Rob, she hires three outlawed and redneck brothers to bring him back to her. But nothing can be that simple in the South. What begins as a small rescue...

    Who is Your Favorite Director and Why?

    Rob Zombie, purely based on The Devil's Rejects (the ice cream scene is one of the most brilliant scenes in cinematic history). Joss Whedon, based on everything he's ever done. Kevin Smith, because he has yet to make a movie I hate (though I've refrained from watching Jersey Girl...) JJ...

    archived-videos This is All You Left Me - final cut

    Next up is a music video I'm doing for a friend's band, and then probably either a microbudget feature or another short or two. I'm kind of leaning toward the feature at this point.

    archived-videos This is All You Left Me - final cut

    It was done with a Blue Snowball mic. Audio is by far my weakest point. Which is why going forward, I'm doing two things: 1. Music videos. 2. Hiring/partnering with someone who knows what they're actually doing when it comes to audio. :cool:

    archived-videos This is All You Left Me - final cut

    Some of you might remember this from a few months ago, but I've recut my first short and have now put it up online. I'd entered it into a few film festivals (didn't make it into any) last year, and decided to re-edit it and make it public at this point. I did the entire thing by myself...
