    [Oct 8] What are you working on this week?

    Hells yeah, I've done many tests for techniques with music, like the Spike Jonze undercrank or overcrank and slowing/speeding the music to match everything, and combinations of that, etc, but haven't actually made one before...just never could find the right opportunity. Super excited about this...

    Films Festivals Can be Apples and Oranges

    I wanted to give you guys an idea of a couple cheapo, low brow festivals I've been to. Last year I got into Burbank Film Festival, and San Pedro film festival. I was pretty disappointed because I submitted to a TON of festivals, and only these two accepted me. I'm not trying to insult the...

    Director already wrote shot list (I'm DP)

    I DO NOT let people make up shots for me. That's mine. How my image is framed, how the camera moves, and what happens in front of it, are all the director's choice. I would never give it away, it would mess up all the sequences that I have planned. In my mind, my shots, how they work, and how...

    [Oct 8] What are you working on this week?

    Waiting on a composer to finish music for my film. I gave him a month, and it's been three months! We have been in touch throughout the process though, and his music is worth the wait....just hoping he doesn't bail at some point. I also came up with a short film this weekend that my...

    Never been this excited in my life!!!

    Like the guy above said, start writing screenplays immediately, and always be ready to rewrite them to make them better. Never get too attached, because you will learn new things and realize the way you did it the first time wasn't right. Age does not matter in creating cinema. A couple...

    IntoTheForest - Cinematic

    Very cool! You have some nice inspired shots there. Now, come up with a loose abstract story, get a couple performers, dress them up in some costumes that connect to the story/world, and make a real music video! You definitely have the kno-how! I like your footage, but if you can sell that...

    archived-videos David Lynch Short Film - Blue Green

    Lol, I could never sully Lynch's work with my dirty hands! Haha, but seriously, that location or something like it would be phenomenal, very wonderful. I believe that was somewhere in Poland, and was shot before, during or after Inland Empire. I may be wrong, just read that somewhere. I bet...

    Underground locations in Southern California

    Thanks for the link, I will check them out in more detail. Hopefully they have a lot of room down there, I'm hoping to be able to chase after a performer running through tunnels and lights, etc. We will see!
