    watch me and my daughters short animation

    Good stuff! My kids are into stop-motion animation, and this made me smile. So much fun to be had in the process of making these little animated pieces. You guys did great!

    watch These Are Compliments (CG Stopmotion + Camera-Matching)

    SUPER late, but thank you guys so much! I apparently didn't select to get notifications for replies. (Just happened to think to check back.) Really dig the enthusiasm for the piece! Thanks again!

    Anyone heard from SXSW 2017, good or bad news??

    CrackerFunk shared some good advice above. I've been doing the festival thing a few years now, and I'm to a point where I've quit checking. I used to watch the "notify-by" dates like crazy, but now I forget about them and just let it be a surprise. No build-up means less disappointment, I...

    watch These Are Compliments (CG Stopmotion + Camera-Matching)

    Here's a short (1:15) animated film I recently completed using trueSpace 7.6 (outdated animation software), SynthEyes, After Effects, Edius, paper and pencil. Backplates were shot on a Blackmagic Pocket. Hope you guys enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY6ODFVikno

    watch "Aluminum" - Telekinesis short

    Hey guys! Been a while, so I thought I'd share a short film. This one's a mockumentary about a guy with telekinetic abilities... but he's limited to aluminum. ;) It's a little on the weird side, as is most of my stuff, but I hope you enjoy it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyFjglis-Z4 I...

    watch Max Peril - A movie about making a movie

    Hey Mitch! I did some local and some social media advertisement (which was mainly _local_ social media - heh. ie. Local folks on Facebook.) With Hickory Never Bleeds, I was well aware of the limited reception in advance, given the nature of the film, so I didn't push hard with advertising...

    watch Max Peril - A movie about making a movie

    Thanks, NickClapper! Good to hear from you too! I self-distributed Hickory, which went really well. At least I was able to make back the manufacturing costs plus some on the first night with a DVD release party. Lots of local support for the film. DVD and streaming sales continue to trickle...

    watch Max Peril - A movie about making a movie

    Thanks, Richy! We're premiering it locally first. The college in town has completed a really nice, large performing arts center and we're pretty excited about showing it there. Rough cut was accepted into a couple of MS festivals and we're hoping to submit to a few outside the state. Good to...

    watch Forgotten (Teaser Trailer) Help!

    I thought the shots looked nice. Exposure was good. (I usually look for blown-out whites, but this was pretty well balanced.) Are you referring the the Twixtor-ish artifacts as "time shifting?" That did jump out. I feel like regular time stretch + frame blending would be less distracting...

    watch Max Peril - A movie about making a movie

    Hey guys! For anyone interested in off-kilter southern comedy mockumentary films, here's the trailer to a feature I completed recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk1sLCitlCw As with my first film, this one is shot in documentary style and features a local cast. It's really a movie...

    Portable audio setup

    A lot of good advice has already been given. I recently upgraded from a Marantz PMD-660 to a Marantz PMD-671 (24-bit.) Both were modified by Doug Oadie. I got over 10 years of use out of the PMD-660 and was able to sell it - in great working condition - to a fellow filmaker. I expect to get...

    Single-Focus Anamorphic Trick

    Hey guys! Thought I'd share a DIY approach for anamorphic shooters who can use a workaround/alternative to double-focusing. (If you've ever used an anamorphic setup, you know how cumbersome it is to focus two lenses.) I'm still refining the housing and plan to pretty things up a bit, but the...
