Man. I've been neglecting the shit out of the internet for a good 2 months now. Having met the most amazing person ever tends to lessen your will to reach out and write shit on the internet, dang.
Starting my last semester at ITT this week. No idea what the fuck I'm going to do with my life. I want to make movies, but need support I don't feel I have. But I want to build that.
But I also need to get the fuck out of here. In a few years, at the latest. I'm no captain and Michigan is sinking into the lakes faster than I'd like to be aware of.
I also need a new job, because fuck Best Buy. It's been over a year and a half, and I just can't stand it. Need something that pays better and feels better. I'll harass the school for some help there, I guess.
ISN'T THIS EXCITING?!12/1
Continue Not Dying will be out soon, I've got some effects to recreate (Ronnie did a great job in a jam, but I need to do some more extensive precision work).
For anyone who'd like to take part in upcoming things, we have a few other projects coming up. Our entry for
Spyfest is still being planned out, and is due May 31st. Tim will be the head honcho on that project, and it should be fun.
Around the same time, before Tim leaves for Florida, we want to play around with actual film on his 35mm camera, just shoot a black and white little poker game short. Very simple, should be shot in a day, just to try out that actual process and learn a bit.
Otherwise.. I need work. I need a project. I have to tidy up CND, as mentioned, and I'd like to actually cut together and spruce up the old short we shot with Jess's script, just to have that completed.
But I need something to shoot. I need to build a team. So far, when I look into the next year or two, I have Jason and Ron, who are both wildly more talented than I actually am. I hope they are actually with me, and want to continue working on projects. Tim will be the Batman of our little filmmaking Justice League, as he'll be in florida learning his ass off, but has offered his help when he can.
We need people with vision, people who want to learn, people who want to do something and get out of this clusterfuck of mundane life.
This is long term vision.
Jason would be an amazing cinematographer, and is off to a fantastic start already. That's on top of great little bits of choreography - given time, money, and people he'd come up with some of the craziest shit I could ever imagine. Not to mention his inate ability to organize and is absurd photoshop skills. Jason has epic ability.
Ron is up for anything and dives into whatever he is doing. He's got a great start with 3D work and could hone those skills very well. It's largely his willingness to do anything, however, that makes him a fantastic person to have around.
I don't know what I'm that strong with. I can write and edit, though Jason's a great editor too. I'd like to say I can direct, but I've barely done enough to say so - and Jason is actually much better at articulating specifics. I'd say I can keep track of a greater scope in production, but Jason pushes on what matters here and now. Which is why I'd love to work with him more in the future.
What can you do? What would you LIKE to do? What do you want to learn? We'll never stop learning, and every project is just a new way to fix our mistakes and hope to just learn even more.
I need people. And I need projects. If you have an idea for a flick, a nice short, doesn't matter how long you imagine it, let me know. It's motherfucking adventure time.
Also holy fucking shit:
