Well wayyy back in the day it would just be myself with a couple friends doing silly/shitty sketch comedies quite similar to Monty Python, or like The Whitest Kids U' Know. And a couple music videos. And some cheesy fight sequences. :]
Then I went off to college for a few years and found camaraderie with other film-junkie indie nerds. I kept going with comedies and such... but the best stuff we made was during film competitions... it seems that if an external force is pushing me to do a project, then that's when it actually gets done.
I'm terrible at the whole self-motivation thing. Which is where I'm stuck at now. Lots of ideas flutter into my skull. Half of the time they manifest onto ink and paper. And once in a blue moon I actually try to bring life to one of those ideas..
I think the best kinds of movies are the ones that mind-fuck the audience, like Stanley Kubrick does, or David Lynch, or Ingmar Bergman. To be watching a movie and suddenly see your own face appear on the screen... that is shakable, outstandingly good filmmaking. I would love to bring forth what people have buried down in their subconscious, y'know?
