In the spirit of my filming side project (a 1920s Gothic horror story adaptation), I've decided to channel my inner golden age filmmaker. The film will be in black and white, have a classic 4:3 aspect ratio, and utilize day for night filming.
To do this, I'm waiting for a new red filter and some step up rings to attach the whole thing to my...

I wasn't going to do this, but hey, what the hell. I blog a lot about films I've done, or that I'm doing. It's a big part of my life right now, mainly because I'm starting to figure out what the hell I'm supposed to do to make a good film.
For those who have not already gotten their fill of my film related posts,...

A location I want to use for a film refuses to let me use it at night. Rather than getting mad, I'm just gonna learn some old school Day for Night cinematography. I just need to find a few people interested in being in some test footage I have to shoot to learn this now outdated technique.
New challenge for a new year!
Let me begin by saying I'm a huge HP Lovecraft fan. Today I discovered there's an HP Lovecraft Film Festival for adaptations of that mad genius's work.

1) I like...

Few things are as disappointing as having an empty fridge.
Some of the screenshot photos I've been posting came from a short film I was making back in September.

I have 8 days left for my fundraising campaign, and I haven't even broken 10% yet. This is really frustrating me, seeing how all I've asked my friends to do is share the link. These are the same people I've bailed out countless times. I guess I'm just asking too much of them in return.
My roommate has just come back from vacation, and no one thought to drive her car around for the 11 days she was gone. Seeing how her car is dead, I was woken up and told she needed a ride to work...in 15 minutes.
There is something energizing about a 2 hour early morning drive where there's nothing to keep you awake apart from the...
