Experiment #1 finished. More to come.

This week I will be filming something else a combination of dubstep music + dialectical montage + three-shot action sequence, (since most action sequences are produced via a three-shot system).

Rationale:

Dubstep is a two beat genre which results in a selected result.
Montage results from thesis begetting anti-thesis to produce result, (anti-thesis).
The "Action Sequence" is a three-shot system fit for the two, (dubstep and montage).

To make it last, edit like a DJ.

Enjoy this one for now.

Filming went superb today. I hope what's in the can turns out alright for the film I'm trying to create and experiment with.

I got a lot of compliments on my film today from my friends. Some of which I've received before on previous films. My friend Kahmani, who's an actor and been on other shoots, said that my film was the most professional shoot he's ever been on. I've received this compliment before by a professional actor who acted in one of my older films and stated quote: "Even professional shoots are not as professional as this kid's." So that was nice. I utilized the Roger Corman style shoot by getting the hard shots done first. I also got a non-actor working for me who was impressed by how easy I made the shoot go for him by training him to pantomime.

All in all, a very good day.

I also made a Baldwin-esque intro to "Tetsuo: The Iron Man":

OH SHIIIIII

I thought this was just the other thread.

Thank you, that was my hardest film, and favorite as well!

whoa...

Oh hell yes! Type in to google, "Filming Hemingway's Blank Verse" and I'm the first hit! Film is down below. Oh so proud.

Sat outside to film the California sunset for well over an hour, time lapse is 500 times normal speed. And as stated in the youtube page:

"I was extremely influenced by Stan Brakhage for these two films, (Dog Star Man), and Marie Menken's, (Go! Go! Go!). Enjoy! Music by State of Mind, hinting at each films particular relevance."

I gotta get around to watching these...

Take your time friend! Comments are appreciated too!
