For the second time this school year, I was "commissioned" (no pay) by my school to make a video to represent to the general public what Classical High is all about. Evidently, I've built up a reputation as the go-to video guy. Now, obviously, I took these jobs to get in good with the...

Here's my second 48 Hour Film (my first can be found here, but be warned: it's terribly mediocre), and my first for the 48 Hour Film Project. It's called Earl Grey in A Single Shade of Grey. It resurrected an old character I wrote a crappy short film around a few years back (originally, he was a...

After damn close to three years, my first "real" film project is ready to shoot. It's called zero budget. a movie about two dudes making a movie. (periods and lack of capitalization intentional). I first had the idea somewhere around May 2010, when I figured that since I had no budget with which...

I'm currently working on a screenplay for a five-or-so minute short film to be released this fall or next January. The concept is that on the surface it appears to be a somewhat poorly-done amateur documentary of a high-school couple suddenly falling apart and breaking up, but in actuality it's...

Sorry to double-post this, but I didn't receive any feedback on my original post with this video... here's my first-ever 48 hour film. The prompt was "Horrible Breakup Movie". Let me say, after going through it, I had a lot more sympathy for last year's films that I thought were mediocre. Any...

Here it is, my first-ever 48 hour film, made for the 48 Hour Guerrilla Film Challenge 2012. Let's just say that after doing this, much as I enjoyed it, I had a lot more sympathy for last year's films that I found mediocre... any thoughts, feedback, reviews, criticism...

I spent the weekend of May 18-20 shooting and editing a movie for the 48 Hour Guerrilla Film Challenge. What I came out with wasn't exactly what I had hoped, but despite it was still one of the best experiences of my life. They don't allow us to upload the movies publicly because they have a...

Yeah, I suppose it's not terribly original, but it was fun and I needed something to do with my afternoon on this boring vacation. I'd like to apologize in advance for the horrid sound design... I think one of those newfangled "windscreen" doohickeys all the kiddies have been talking about would...

I was inspired to make this after seeing the first twenty seconds of this video. If you like it, please like, comment, subscribe, share, et cetera et cetera... my goal is to get this to 1,000 views within a week. What do you all think of it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLLH6egDdK8

Finally got a T3i yesterday, and decided to take it out for a test run today. For all intents and purposes, this is my first time using a DSLR for anything other than screwing around. Whatcha think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzjYAzaV6ws

Specifically, to do this. I think she may have been off her meds on last night's X Factor... ;)

As usual, 2011 gave us a boatload of shameless, unoriginal, irritating, and otherwise just-plain-stupid pop music. But what's the absolute worst song of 2011? In my opinion, that dubious honor goes to Big Sean's "Dance (A$$)", the epitome of moronic, monotone, obnoxious rap music (keep kids...

After wondering how, with my extreme laziness, I'll be able to save up $800 for a T3i by August, I had the brilliant and totally not-obvious revelation that maybe I should rent the stuff instead. After doing a bit of research (read: clicking on two links in a Google search) I came across...

Have you guys seen this??? I mean, I'm one of those audio-ignorant people who thinks most things sound essentially the same, and this just blew me away. One of those "job" things is seeming pretty darn lucrative right about now... be sure to pull out your headphones/earbuds to get the full...

I've heard this "color grading" or "color correction" thing is typically pretty important, so I figured I'd give it a shot with the limited equipment (5MP web camera, iMovie) I have. Some examples are below... keep in mind most of these are just screwing around with the levels, bringing some...

So I was able to actually get my hands on a functioning DSLR for the first (though short) time today. For one thing, about ten seconds of usage further convinced me that I need one of these things more than oxygen. But one thing interested me: the model I was using was a Canon Eos Rebel T3-not...

I've been seeing and hearing ads for a "retail liquidation" in my area, which claim that "thousands of items have been marked down to $5", including nonspecific "digital cameras", which of course I could use if they're high-quality. My entire family has the weekend off, and I was considering...

So I wasn't sure how to classify this series in particular, but this seems to be where people post their trailers, so here goes. I'm making a new web series (hopefully "airing" by the end of the month) called "Blow $#!& Up With AJ Chatterton". I know it sounds mindless and crazy, like...

My first YouTube video on my new channel, and definitely my proudest moment thus far in my recent forays into "real" filmmaking (at least, as close to "real" as you can get with one camcorder, no external mics, and iMovie). What do you guys think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFmomyKCeWw If...

Here's something I made a month or two back when "Hurricane" Irene hit Providence. (Yes, I realize it did damage elsewhere, but in inland RI it was pretty much a joke.) Going into it, I didn't intend for it to be cheesily overdramatic, but that's how it ended up. The camera I used was pretty...
