I feel like a junky who’s about to be whacked for not paying
back his debt. “I swear I’m working on the
movie. I’ll get something on YouTube for
sure this month! Please, you gotta believe me! No, no don’t shoot me. Noooooooo!.....”
And then its swimmin’ with the fishes for me…
But let’s talk about the movie quick, along with another
announcement I have.
Ashes
of Man
“How’s the movie
coming along? Are you done? How much more do you have left to film?”
All very good questions.
5 out of 7 parts of the movie occur after the world has fallen into
nuclear winter. We have filmed all of
that - which is good, because it’s not winter anymore. That stuff’s done, minus a final polish which
I hope to finish this week. I still won’t
have anything to show off at that point, though. That’s what trailers are for.
I want to drop a trailer on YouTube to start up some
hype. However, a trailer is - in essence
- another movie. I’ll try my damnedest
to get one out this month.
Meanwhile, I need to finish the last two parts of the film: pulling
together the crew, scheduling, planning, filming, etc. Then cut the film, put it together with the
other 85% of the movie I do have
finished, and TA DA!!!! Done.
I would love to be working on something new and fresh. And shorter.
Shorter means faster turn around, which means more regular entertainment
for you guys! And who doesn’t want that?
A
Little Bit of Muscle
While we’re talking about Stranger Things Studios, I was
notified by YouTube that the video, A
Little Bit of Muscle, may be censored or pulled in the near future. It took them until now to realize that I had synced
half the film to Nickleback, which is copywritten music. If they ever decide I can’t use that music
anymore, they’ll shut A Little Bit of
Muscle down.
What have we learned?
That’s right: don’t use any
material that isn’t yours when making a movie.
Star
Wars 2012
On a completely
different note, I have now celebrated Star Wars Day two years in a row :-D I didn’t make it that big of an event. Spur of the moment, really. A few friends. Bonfire.
Batch of Wookie cookies. New Star
Wars T-shirt. And we watched the
original, 1977 Star Wars.
But next year, May the 4th lands on a Saturday. Oh yeah, we’re going big. I mean like Jabba big…
