Nenad Went Home

I dropped Nenad off at the airport today. I was said to see him leave. I now have a brother in Serbia. We took him for Sushi last night for a going away party. My dinner never showed up. When we asked our waitress about it she said,"Oh.... we don't serve tofu at night," and then she walked away.

Good luck to you Nenade.

Peter Schifrin

Peter Schifrin was my director when I was a sculpture student. Check out this installation he was just commissioned to do in New York.

Our Mother!

We needed someone to play our Italian mother in our latest film. This is Linda. We hired her through SFcasting. Her comic timing was amazing. We laughed a lot this weekend. Thanks Linda.

The Villain

I bought our latest actors off the internet. Ebay is a great source to find talent. We are using remote controlled vehicles in our next short. Here is a before and after photo of our next villain. It looked a little too clean so I had to "dirty" it up.

It's not every day that you have a pineapple in your kitchen, so I jumped at the chance to use one in my photo. You can see how big the truck is compared to a pineapple. It is also not every day that you can say, "you can see how big the truck is compared to a pineapple."

When this came in the mail, it felt like Christmas, although I was at work so I didn't get to open it in my pajamas.

Vintagius Rotarius

Here are some photos of a short we are putting the final edits on. My sculpture degree makes me love to use "found objects" as actors. The premise of the film is some cell phone archaeologists are digging in a blizzard and stumble upon a once thought of mythological creature named Vintagius Rotarius (Rotary phone). They dig it out and the ice starts to melt, bringing it back to life. It then proceeds to terrorize the cell phones.

The background sky photo is a six foot print out of an image our friend Jeremy painted digitally for us. We even paid him real money to do it!

The snow is a hundred dollars of baby powder that we are still cleaning up! That's right this film had a budget, people.

Green Screen

Yesterday was a good day. Our ideas have led us to need some green screen shots. We had a blast. The school where I work has a great room that already has lights installed and everything else you need to be Neo. The other guy in these photos is Al. Al knows his way around the green room and was a tremendous help. That's right, I said tremendous. My vocabulary is huge today! A hippopotamus has hairy hoofs. Wow! Where am I channeling this from? That was alliteration (the repetition of the first consonant sound in a phrase.) Assonance is repetition of vowel sounds. Why it needs to have an ass in front of it, I don't know.
