"My Little Film Project " Movie Clip

I know that I haven't talked about this in a while, so I figured I'd give an update. The project is finished (it has been for about three months now.) I haven't been able to post the finished product because I haven't had access to it, but I'm working on getting it up here soon.

In the mean time I'll post a clip here so you can get any idea what to expect.

Now I know that there are issues with color correction and audio, but there was an issue of time and equipment , so bare with me hear. Plus I'm only a student filmmaker, so cut me some slack.

Fuse Factory: Raw Footage

Fuse Factory: Raw Footage

This one is a little hard to watch because it’s almost an hour long and it’s all unedited footage. But I thought there were some nice looking clips so I throw it up on here.

I shoot this back in April and I’ll have the edited clip up on here soon.

This was one of my first freelance gigs.

Four Segments / Documentary Video Final

FOUR SEGMENTS / DOCUMENTARY VIDEO FINAL

For our final in documentary video, our teacher had us pick four 2 minute segments of unused footage from past projects. I pick a couple of these from as far back as Video II. I'm aware that this might be a little tedious to watch, up I still like the way it turned out.

Reelz Channel TV Bumper

REELZ CHANNEL TV BUMPER

This is the only other thing that I feel is worth mentioning for my motion graphics class. Honestly I don't feel like I got much out of this class, but I feel this and the Alien movie titles project (which is in the archives) turned out okay. 

Nothing special, but I thought I put it out there.

"LAAMEASSSES!" Part Three

"LAAAMEASSSES!" PART THREE

I didn't want to do this, but due to popular demand, here it is. I did try re-editing it a little bit, but it is still far from perfect. We are still planing on re-filming this all together so keep a look out for that. It will be of much higher quality.

Parts One and Two are in the archives from April.

"MY LITTLE FILM PROJECT" POSTER / DVD ARTWORK

This is the photo we took as a kind of publicity still. I figure I'd use it for the DVD case. This is only a rough draft though, there may be changes.

Sunday, Boring Sunday / Black and White Version

SUNDAY, BORING SUNDAY / BLACK AND WHITE VERSION

This is the same project as before but in black and white. I thought it was really appropriate for this project and that it had a nice feel desaturated. 

You can see the color version in the older post from February.

Take your pick. 

Demo Reel

DEMO REEL RE-EDIT

.............................................................

DEMO ROUGH CUT 

Here are two versions of my demo reel. They are pretty much the same thing but the re-edit has a lot of clips from newer projects. I feel both reels show a wide verity of what I've with my video work. So basically take your pick.

More Bloopers and Out-takes

MORE BLOOPERS AND OUT-TAKES

Here are some more bloopers and out-takes from "My Little Film Project," which is currently in editing and post-production. The project should be completed within a week or so. 

North Market Doc / Greener Grocer

NORTH MARKET DOC / THE GREENER GROCER

This was done for documentary video class. We did a group project about the North Market as a whole and then we all had to do our own individual segments on one of the stores there. I chose The Greener Grocer.

"LAAAMEASSSES!" Part Two

"LAAAMEASSSES!" PART TWO

This is from my first project in Video III. It was a three segment project and this is the second part. I'm dividing the project by by there segments because I want to re-film the third and finial part because I was unsatisfied with it. However I'm willing to post the first two parts for now. 

I should not that these people are actually married and that is their baby, but I assure you they love each other. When we were filming this they were a little concerned about what people would think, so this is basically a disclaimer.

By the way, the title is not a typo. It's basically "Lame-asses" but pronounced like someone saying it cool and with attitude.

This was my final for Video II. It was based on a short story I wrote earlier in the semester, which was inspired by the true story behind "Manos: The Hand of Fate."

My thesis project is still in the works, but here's some bloopers, out-takes, and other goofing off stuff for the meantime. Enjoy. 

Alien Titles Re-Edit

ALIEN TITLES RE-EDIT

This is the re-edited version of the "Alien" opening titles for my motion graphics class.

Alien Titles Rough Cut

ALIEN TITLES ROUGH CUT

This was for my Motion Graphics class. We had to do the opening titles for a movie, so I chose "Alien." This is only the first version of it, the re-edit is coming soon.

Thesis Project in the Works

Well, as I mentioned in the “About Me” section, I am a senior at Columbus College of Art and Design. This of course means that I have to do a senior project. For this I am doing a short film with a running time of about 30 minutes. The story is actually based around a feature length screenplay that I had written last summer. Hopefully this short could generate some attention and help get the feature produced. The feature screenplay in entitled “My Little Film Project” and I assume that the sort is called that as well. Although lately I’ve been leaning more towards the title “This Little Film Project,” basically it’s a toss up and therefore the project is technically untitled.

The project is a drama comedy or “dramedy,” which focuses on Chrissie Morgan and Emily Stone, two high school friends who have a misadventure after Chrissie recruits Emily in helping her with a student film for a portfolio. That’s right; this is a student film about the making of a student film. Emily is willing to help out, but over time gradually tries to take hold of more and more control over the project. It is a pretty straight forward narrative, however it could be looked at as a metaphor for “is art truly your own, or is mainly dictated by outside forces?” In the world of Hollywood, this outside force would be producers. Now I’m aware that this meaning is kind of a stretch, but it’s a concept that I’ve struggled to get my head around since beginning art school.

This is my first experience with using sources like craigslist.com to find actors. In the past I’ve had to resort to using friends and I always felt like a burden. With all these past projects, it was also mainly male dominate. I wanted to gain more experience with actresses, so when I sat down to write the script, I made it mainly a female cast.

Below are some stills from the project which is now in the stages of editing. Now these are only stills from the raw footage, they have not been color corrected or anything like that yet, so bare with me here.

Amy Skelton (Left) plays Emily and Maria Patterson (Right) play Chrissie.

Trouble in paradise. Emily wants back in.

Dawn Marrow plays an actress trying to land a roll in Chrissie's movie. This is a reprise roll from an earlier project.

Amanda Morelli fills in for what was meant to be another reprise roll. Due to schedule problems, it don't work out.

Ben West help out with sound and cinematography. He also plays one of the only two male rolls.

Gary Kleinpaste plays the other male part. This part is in the film for literally ten seconds.

Raising money for a video project...why didn't I do that?

Friends who know how to share.

Chrissie does not approve.

With things worked out, its back to the drawing board.

Filming was done over a span of five days with one for re-shoots and pick-ups. Editing will be completed over the next two weeks. The project has to be ready for the annual CCAD media studies senior show in which the project will be screened.

The screening will be on May 15th in CCAD’s Canzani Center in the auditorium. Time is still TBA.

The Ten Gallon World

THE TEN GALLON WORLD

This is the first project for documentary video. The assignment was animals. I would have done it on my dog from back home, but I figured that's what everyone was going to do, so I thought fish would be more original.

This is a portrait of our boxer Jake. I like the contrast.

"GOBOZILLA"

This is another part of my studio photo final. It is called "Gobozilla" because to make the shadow, I had to make a big cardboard cutout of the character, i.e. a gobo. Again there were over a hundred pictures taken of this, but I feel these two get the idea across the best.

SPIN II

Part of my Studio Photography final project. I took over a hundred photos of this thing and these two were my favorite. I like this one for the cool, blue tint.

UP

This picture was taken at random and for fun, but it turned out to have some really interesting lighting in it. So I ran with it. It's a friend trying to climb the side of a building. He didn't get far.

REFECTION

I loved the way the colors looked on the water.
