Workshop

http://www.hulu.com/workshop

So I'm working on this one short up in the Berkeley/Oakland area and the director's name is Andre Welsh. He recently had his web series premiere on Hulu. I decided to check it out and I actually like it. WORKSHOP is a show about a group of actors in LA trying to get work in one of the most brutal and heartbreaking industries. There are characters in this show that really remind me of the actors that I know around here. Plus some of them are really stupid too. What I like about this show, besides the fact that its a full half hour show, is the fact that its one of the only shows that premiered directly to Hulu. The show looks really low budget. The handheld camera just screams cheap to me and I'm starting to get annoyed by all the shakiness. I do have tremendous respect for this series. After all its already one up on anything I've ever done.

Listen, I'm all figured out

Another song from a really good band. I'm releasing all the videos in conjunction with the band so whenever they make a video public I do the same.

I'm gonna finish this damn script.

Editing

all these scenes... i figure like seventy percent of editing is the capturing. oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I'm capturing SD mini dv footage. the slowest thing ever.

Dude. I just watched this movie called Fanboys. I remember hearing a lot about this film and its somewhat controversial storyline. The release for this film was pushed back a ton of times for so many reasons. Fanboys is set in 1998 and is about a group of young adults that go on a road trip to try to break into Skywalker ranch and steal a copy of Star Wars Episode I. Crazy. It also has Kristen Stewart in it before she was super big.

Early Wednesday Randomness

I finally got my new ipod loaded with all the music I have from my two computers. Its good to be able to listen to music whenever I want to. I plug in and drown out everything else. I don't have to hear my own thoughts. Its something that really helps me through the night. At least until the sandman pays me a visit. A long overdue visit. Thinking about that I had to look up the folklore about the sandman. Did you know his first name is Harvey? Seriously, look it up.

Wikipedia is my best friend at night.

I have to film my classes finals tomorrow by myself cause George is hanging out with Tom Hanks tomorrow. Seriously, they're going on a little bro-date to the air force museum at travis. Damn. I need to start knowing some famous people. I have to be at school at around 10:15ish. I better head to bed soon.

Went to Wal-mart tonight and bought some hummus.

Got a shoot in berkeley this sunday. Its a continuation of The Process short that George got me on. I guess we're gonna smash a car so thats gonna be interesting.

Your Addiction

I really like this little psa we did for seth's tv class. I was actually in the studio earlier today checking my email on the computer and noticed the other psa's on the desktop. I had to check them out. and let me just say that those other psa's look so horrible. they were so bad.

This psa was a real test for me. I wanted to get this thing done so bad and slap it up online but we needed some really good voice over. Dj recorded some the day we shot but seth wasn't completely satisfied with it. We even went out in the middle of the night to this other actor's place in rancho solano to see if we could use his audio. but that didnt turn out as planned. eventually we just got DJ to come back to the office and rerecord. and this is what we have here. I think this psa is pretty badass.
