191/365 – Aperture Series Video 2
Still hungover from Saturday’s shit storm of drinking. Ugh. But, I do have this new promo for the Aperture series. Check it out.
185/365 – IZZY!
Never work with animals or kids. It’s the old filmmaking adage. If you do, you can double your production time, hence, doubling your budget. However, tonight, I got to make a tiny, low budget ($0.00) film to announce Oracle Productions new filmmaker platform, The […]
175/365 – Color Correcting
Michael Bay is so cool. He’s the coolest . . . Okay, I’m not a Michael Bay fan. He makes cool looking movies, but he’s just like George Lucas in that he’s a digital & special effects guy. If you were to ask him to […]
172/365 – Rip-O-Matic
It floors me that the disconnect between the academic definition and the professional definition of work is so large. You think I would have learned my lesson after undergrad. The past 5 weeks have been phenomenal in terms of learning the trade form the point of […]
169/365 – Looks Stupid
You know, I’ve gotten into this bad habit. A habit that any filmmaker should do his best to avoid. I judge movies before they have been released. I won’t even see them. Of course, I think most people do this. John Carter aside, it’s probably […]
132/365 – The Theatre Success Curve
Just got back from performing improv for hundreds of kids at Eureka College in central Illinois. Tons of fun. Hadn’t had a performance since September. Performing, especially comedy, is a rush like no other. It exhilarating – chemically, emotionally and physically. Sometimes, after a great […]
118/365 – Apature Film Series
I have some crazy, somewhat scary (for me) but seemingly boring (for you) news for you all. A few days ago a made a huge leap forward in getting my life in order: I applied for graduation. This may seem pretty small, or at least […]
113/365 – Alexander No Payne No Gain
The Descendants. A movie described by one of my cinematographers as a film that, “gave me faith in film making again.” Megan and I went on a date last night and saw this film by Alexander Payne . . . an alum of Creighton Prep high school […]
108/365 – Cinemetrics
So much going on and the stress levels are at an all time high . . . well, not all time. The all time stress level high award goes to the time my “friend” and his parents kicked me out of their house when I […]
104/365 – Wes Anderson!
I’m leaving for Vegas today. So I don’t have a lot to write. I’m just trying to get out of this city. BUT, Megan shared this with me yesterday. She knows how much I love Wes Anderson. After all, I modeled one of my films […]
94/365 – Lights! Camera! Marriage!
Next week Megan an I will be heading to Las Vegas for our friend Natalie’s wedding. It’s going to be at Treasure Island Casino. Arrgh. Nothing says love like walking the plank – that was a euphemism. I hope you plunder his gold and he […]
31/365 – BELITTLE!
Megan knows that I’ve been working tirelessly to get my films done. She’s played such a huge part in the process. Still, every film I’ve made at Columbia is in some state of unfisnishedness. It’s a word. Look it up. So, over the past 6 […]
220/365 – Directing Workshop
Today I am heading to the film building for one last hurrah. I probably won’t set foot in that building for a very long time. Bruce Sheridan, the chair of the film department and my thesis advisor, has asked me to help give a diretcing […]
