While surfing the Video Copilot forum last night I came across this short film called Suddenly by Magnus Engsfors. It is a cool example of the neat things you can do with After Effect, Photoshop and still photography. I have to say it is an incredible short film. The music was well chosen and the [...]

Between scheduling delays and construction at the office, filming has been lets say interesting. Principle photography has been completed for Episode 1 and Episode 2 is near completion. Last night [...]

But this time it’s for 1-800-Tech-Support! It has been a long long day, but it was worth it. We managed to knock out all of the Tom and Joel scenes for Episode 1. The adventure continues on Thursday.

Okay now that I am done with my pity party I’ve managed to rework the schedule. Shooting officially begins Sept 8th…. I hope. A location has been nailed down for the part scene on the 13th and everyone has been notified about the schedule changes. Hopefully that means they will read it and show up. [...]

Yesterday was a complete and total disaster. Do to an issue at work which I had fucking caused; I had to cancel the shoot. I really can’t go into detail about it, but it was colossal fuck up. I’m very very aggravated and disappointed. This is the 3rd time I’ve had to put off filming [...]

Labor day weekend was alright. Yesterday my hard drive crashed so I’ve been spending the last couple of days trying to get my laptop up and running and trying to recover my data. Luckily I’ve managed to save all the scripts which I’m honestly the most concerned about. There is other data I’m concerned about [...]
