STS - Rom Com at the Cafe Latte

Rom Com at the Cafe Latte is a Charlie Chaplin style romantic comedy.  

For this - our 9th - film, we wanted to emulate the classic, silent, black and white films that were being made a hundred years ago!  

A HUNDRED years!  Holy crap that's a long time ago. 

The Scoop - January 2013: Crashed

I’ve been holding out on this post for awhile because I’ve been waiting for something positive to happen.  The Bad News:  my computer crashed, bringing all Stranger Things production to a screeching halt. 

And I mean crashed - like Geek Squad says it’d be better just to buy a new computer; crashed, like I pulled the hard drive to rescue files and found the drive has completely seized up.  Everything on it is gone.  It would cost anywhere from $300 to $1600 to get it back! 

STS - Armory

A time elapse montage showcasing the construction of an armory of realistic sci-fi weaponry from NERF guns and Super Soakers. Conceptually, the task is not that daunting - just take the plastic gun apart, spray paint it, put it back together.  Piece of cake!  The actual undertaking, on the other hand, is far more epic.  The five minutes you see here has been boiled down from 27+ hours of footage over the course of two weeks.  The amount of hard drive space that takes up was ridiculous!  

Monthly Scoop: December 2012

Screen shot from January's movie

I’m a little late on getting the Monthly Scoop out this month. But I imagine that you understand how the holiday season kicking into full gear sucks both the free-time and soul out of you. I knew you would you get it. You guys are awesome that way!

One Hundo!

It finally happened: 100 blog posts, and it only took a year and a half to do it. I've been sitting on this entry for awhile now wondering what to even say.
