every day i'm bustlin'

...with TWO rolls this time, bitches. and some storyboarding.

editing has begun!

if you look closely at the second picture, you can see the shoes on the screen.

more pics

oh, nice box...i wonder what could be inside it...omg it's DEVELOPED FILM READY TO BE EDITED!! and the filmmaker's handbook. nice.

some photos from the shoot--fielder's project

and so it begins...

i actually have things about which to blog...when my time isn't being completely eaten up by the things about which i will later blog. confusing? perhaps. but i digress...

last weekend i shot my first sight & sound project, the first film of my own design and direction. to be honest, it was an intensely stressful experience, but all in all it turned out to be a very rewarding one.

i filmed a pair of totally cool shows from different angles, then filmed max's cute little birdlegs dancing around in them. some of the shots turned out darker than i would have liked (damn sun setting, who the hell does he think he is...), but most to all are totally usable. and i know that for a fact...the film has been developed and my dailies were screened in class today.

we can begin editing our projects immediately, and i'll probably work on it this weekend. we're all shooting our second projects the weekend of the 25th (not this weekend but the weekend after that). i'll keep you all updated.

in the meantime, PICTURES!!!

antique scissors!

because they're great.

it's been a while, i know...

heyy anyone who still reads this:
things have been crazy lately between finals and everything else at the end of the year, so i haven't had much time to blog it up lately. BUT i am back in california now and have a few film-related summer plans on the horizon.

i bought a color/sound super 8 camera a few months ago and i'm going to try to procure some film for it in the next few weeks. i'll probs take on a short summer project if i can get a little support from friends and family--i'm working on a few screenplays that could be interesting. also, i've been in talks with my awesome bf max of sewing machines about the possibility of shooting a music video/tour documentary/avant garde short film for the band on their west coast tour this summer. very cool.

my friend nick garcia (stand-up comic/fucking awesome MC) is writing a feature-length about life in chicago, and i'm gonna sweet talk him into letting me help with the production in some way. shooting will most likely happen next summer (or some other time after this summer), but hopefully i'll be around when that shit goes down, because working with nick sounds like a super great idea.

i'll try to be better at updating shit, and i might even put up some photos or other interesting things sometime in the near future. maybe. on a completely different note, i'm seeing animal collective in like 3 days, which kicks so much ass i'll probably go blind. no joke.




no joke.
