- Hancock - Will Smith’s next blockbuster
Okay so I was a little disappointed in I Am Legend after I had been anticipating its release. It wasn’t horrible, it just felt like things were missing. Again however I find myself anticipating the release of yet another Will Smith flick. This time it’s Hancock. The trailer is pretty funny and features one [...]
Fri, 25 Jan 2008 17:10:50 +0000 - Hoping it all comes together soon
So tomorrow it seems may be the day that we’ll be attempting to shoot if not all, at least most of the remainder of footage we want for our short film. If you watched the early footage I posted a couple weeks ago, none of that will be used. After getting used to the [...]
Fri, 25 Jan 2008 00:53:47 +0000 - A review of Juno
As I’ve mentioned several times before, my cousin Jonathan and I just love indie movies, so we couldn’t wait to see Juno. It features Ellen Page whom you may remember as the creepy teenager who tortured the creepy pedophile in Hard Candy and Michael Cera from the ridiculously hilarious Superbad. Fortunately Ellen is far less creepy [...]
Mon, 21 Jan 2008 22:36:58 +0000 - The Dark Knight
Anyone else looking forward to this as much as I am? Christopher Nolan did a fantastic job with Batman Begins. It was so dark. I can’t wait to see his next installment. Personally I think Christian Bale is the best Batman so far. The guy is great in nearly every role he plays. I really [...]
Mon, 21 Jan 2008 02:25:23 +0000 - Free music on the internet? Imagine that.
The last couple weeks or so I’ve been listening to The Limitless Potential, a collection of remixes of the songs featured on Year Zero by Trent Reznor (aka Nine Inch Nails). What’s unique about this album is the fact that it’s FREE. By free I don’t mean because this is the internet where everything is [...]
Fri, 18 Jan 2008 10:58:11 +0000 - A little link love - Week 30
Holy crap it’s been a while since I’ve tossed around some link love! I think it’s been about a month, yipes. I feel like such a bad blogger. Ahh well, life does have a way of intervening sometimes. Whatcha gonna do? Anywho, let’s get on with the link lovin’, shall we? Always - This is perhaps [...]
Wed, 16 Jan 2008 17:14:56 +0000 - Take a tour of my town!
To say I’m totally happy right now would be a huge understatement. Earlier today I was searching about for more tutorials and tips for the Canon HV20 camera. I stumbled upon this fantastic article by Barry Green teaching how to control and lock the exposure of the camera. By doing so it helps to [...]
Sun, 13 Jan 2008 03:24:53 +0000 - Join us on Myspace
My cousin and I created a new Myspace profile to help showcase the short films we’ll be creating. If you have a Myspace account and are interested in following our exploits, feel free to add us! We did some more filming last night and actually began working on the final episode of our Serial shorts. [...]
Fri, 11 Jan 2008 18:00:09 +0000 - Playing with the new camera - our first short film
Well it’s been just over three days now since my cousin Jonathan and I finally received our new high def camcorder. After charging the battery on Monday, we immediately jumped into creating some test footage which we liked enough to turn into a (very) short film. We both really enjoy horror and generally creepy [...]
Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:24:13 +0000 - The camera is so close, I can smell it
So tomorrow our Canon HV20 high def video camera that we ordered will be here! I’m so freakin’ giddy. I can’t wait to get my hands on the thing. I’m like a little kid the day before Christmas waiting impatiently to tear open presents. Tomorrow can’t get here soon enough. The best part is [...]
