Ideas for Rudy's film project

Hey mates.

Here are some thoughts on what Rudy talked about at Jimzz today:

• Baby running naked down hall after a bath with father trying to catch him
• Phone ringing...panicked running, then "Oh no!" or something
• Someone studying...pacing the halls as he tries to memorize
• guy carrying bride over threshold
• sweeping hall as he discusses his mother coming to stay for a while
• Dog running down hall, chasing a ball as owner playfully calls out for it
• Guests arriving at front door for a party
• Guy in a walker, going slowly down hall towards bathroom

Looking forward to another project with y'all.

Click to see the tentative schedule of the 2010 Salty Horror Film Festival

The dates of the Salty Horror Film Festival will not change (Nov 4-7 2010), but some events or venues may change due to scheduling issues. The Tower Theater (876 east 900 south Salt Lake City) is the tentative home for the festival

Will there be contests associated with this festival?

Yes. There are three tentative contests being run between October 2009 and October 2010.

•Miss Salty Horror Film Festival Model Search
◦This will be an open call and filmed as a reality TV show before the festival as part of the aggressive marketing campaign. Contestants will be eliminated and the winner will be Miss Salty Horror and she will win front and center attention in the marketing campaign involving posters, T-shirts, Internet presence, commercials and whatever other exposure we can afford.
•Bloody 72 Make a Horror Film in 3 days
◦Small groups will pay only $180 to enter the contest that they have 72 hours to make a short horror film during festival. On Nov. 2 at noon groups will form, get a word that must be in the script somewhere and they will be off and running to make a less than 9 minute short film. On Nov. 4 at noon the film is due. The winning films will be shown that night of festival and the group could win over $500 and a surprise collection of films

Are there content restrictions?
Yes, There are 2 content restrictions for submission. Please do not send the film if there is:

1.Anything that enters the realm deemed to glorify aberrant sexual acts such as beastiality or rape. If scenes of violent torture cross the line and deemed to be gratuitous “torture porn” and NOT necessary to story or plot, the film may be disqualified. Comparison scenes that are acceptable are from the “Saw” and “Hostel” series but crossing into rape will not be acceptable.
2.Scenes that glorify any illegal activity involving those under 17 such as pervasive aberrant sexual acts, crime, gangs, alcohol or drug use. Any of these elements that are used could be deemed gratuitous by the film festival committee will disqualify your film.

production checklists

I got these off the web, but it is a start:

VIDEO PRODUCTION CHECKLIST:

Initial planning and preparation
This is crucial. You must know what you want
to film, where, and when. Most videos will require:

• 
  A script, showing in written form what filming
  is required including camera angles and shot sizes



• 
  and/or



• 
  A storyboard, showing the intended shots in
  the form of drawings.

A recce of each location to check that
it is suitable.

• 
  Is there enough light?



• 
  Is it quiet enough?



• 
  Is there enough space?



• 
  Do you need permission to film there?

A checklist of equipment you will need.

• 
  Do you need anything else (eg props and costumes
  for an acted scene)?



• 
  Will you need transport?

A shooting schedule indicating what
will be filmed, where, and when.

• 
  Will the people, equipment and facilities
  you need will be available when you want to film?



• 
  Will you have enough time for scenes that
  need several takes? 1

Equipment checklist

You may not need all of these every time.

Check that each piece of equipment is working
before you take it out on a shoot.

Filming checklist

 

Before you start recording

Check your camera isnÕt displaying
the date and time

Check colour balance if necessary.

Avoid mixing light sources (eg daylight
+ fluorescent light)

Set exposure and focus to manual or automatic
as required

Check for background sound and other distractions

Check sound levels if possible

Check there's enough light but not too
much contrast

Record a short section and play it back
to check everythingÕs working (including sound)

Film with the camera pointing away from
the light source

Check the background - is it distracting,
too light, too dark?

Check your framing

Make sure your shots don't 'cross the
line'

Check focus and exposure

Rememer to record cutaways

 

When you're filming

Check that the  REC symbol appears in
the viewfinder when you start filming, and that PAUSE or

STANDBY appears when you have stopped
filming

Record more than you need: start the camera
running several seconds before things start

happening, and keep it running for a couple
of seconds after things stop

 

After filming

Label each tape and make supporting notes
of what you have filmed

 

Filming an acted scene or interview

Team:

• 
  Director



• 
  Production assistant



• 
  Camera operator



• 
  Sound recordist

(You could have one or two people filling
all these functions)

1 When everything is set up and everyone
is ready to do a take, the Director asks for quiet and says

Stand by.

2 The Director asks the Camera Operator
to start recording by saying Turn over.

3 The Camera Operator presses the button
to start recording. Once she can see the symbol REC in

the viewfinder, she signals that the recording
has started.

4 The Director counts the actors/participants
in silently using 3, 2, 1, fingers and a wave of the hand.

5 Once the action has finished, the Director
silently counts to five and then calls out CUT.

6 The Camera Operator presses the button
to stop filming and checks that the REC symbol has been

replaced by PAUSE

7 The Production Assistant ticks off the
scene on the list.

Hints for shooting

• 
  When the shot includes a camera movement,
  hold on the still image for a couple of seconds before and after the movement



• 
  Try to include a complete movement



• 
  Don't cut while the camera/zoom is still moving



• 
  Zooms should only be used rarely if at all



• 
  Allow shots to run until a natural break occurs

Some things you may need for a video shoot:


Video camera (essential)
Tripod
Blank tapes (bring more than you’ll need)
Power supply and adaptors (3 prong to 2 prong)
Power strip/surge protector
Foreign currency converter
Extension cords
Charged batteries
Headphones (to monitor audio)
Gaffer’s tape (to tape down cords to prevent tripping over them)
Microphone(s) and spare batteries
Extension cords for external mics (XLR or mini)
Converters and plugs for audio and mics
Light kit
Whiteboard/reflector
Equipment cart
Take notes
Model release and a pen
Flash light (if you are shooting in a dark theater)
Portable monitor (if the camera doesn’t have a large, color display and you want to review the footage on site)
Cell phone (turn ringer off, but useful if you need to phone your contact or forget something)

Awards are limited to 220 which works out around 4 per team. There will 50 available at each screening so that all teams have an opportunity to get some.
I have over $3000 in prizes to go along with the awards. Tickets are $8.50 each which includes food and drink. I you want to guarantee tickets please let me know and I will hold them over for you.

Please only 1 member per team at the kick off, this doesn't have to be the team leader but they are responsible for picking the genre and handing in the Team Leaders agreement. There is restrictive space so please only 1 so we don't get the police on call.

http://www.48hourfilm.com/saltlakecity/

Jackie Chan = Lucky S.O.B

Oh well, back to the drawing board...

...I do not see these fossils as evolving from Australopithecus africanus...

Point of fact: the discoverer of Australopithecus sediba was also the same individual who discovered "Lucy" Australopithecus Afarensis (Actually, his nine year old son found it...interesting)., which was also touted as the missing link only later (with MUCH less fanfare) to be uncovered as a simply another animal, not a link between species.

His peers also discount Berger's methodology. Check out this quote:

...Renowned University of California paleoanthropologist Tim White savaged Berger on the release of his subsequent book, The Official Field Guide to the Cradle of Humankind, calling it "in many ways worse than useless, given the astonishing density of errors and misleading statements". He added that it showed a disturbing "pattern of fabrication"...( source: here.)

I would gather that as study commences, more and more facts will reveal that Australopithecus sediba is not the holy grail of evolution it is being professed to be, but yet another smokescreen in the evolutionist propaganda machine. However, will we hear about it? We certainly do every few years when the "Link" is found.

With all the millions and millions of species out there, we just HAVE to find just one single missing link to show that one species can evolve into another. It's out there, Mulder. I WANT TO BELIEVE!

Scary story - eBay related!

I remember seeing this guy at eBay!

Attention 101..

"Feel sorry for me today,"
Said little Kay Jay,
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash, and purple bumps.
My mouth iz wet, my throat iz dry,
I'm going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are az big az 80's cell phones,
I've counted thirty seven kidney stones
And there's another stroke--that's seventeen,
And don't you think my face looks green?
My leg iz cut, my eyes are blue--
It might be instamatic Swine Flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that both my legz are broke--
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button'z caving in,
My back iz wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb,
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck iz stiff, my voice iz weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue iz filling up my mouth,
I think my hair iz falling out.
My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There iz a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart iz--what?
What's that? What's that you say?
You say today iz---Saturday?
G'bye, I'm going to Wendover to play!"

Hey gents.

WTF?! We need a kick in the ass. One of my friends from art school found me on Facebook and added me as a friend. I then discovered he is a filmmaker (click here for his IMDB page). Check out the trailer for his horror/sci-fi film here.

Dudes, if he can produce, star, film and edit his own feature...WHY THE FUC& CAN'T WE?! Seriously...let's get on it. I think we have the talent, ideas, and ability...we just need a healthy dose of ambition.

We need some accountability...timelines...something. Let's seriously discuss this.

Movie Idea wrap-around to consider

Hey mates!

So, I was thinking about a good title and wrap-around concept for the film. What if these five guys (hey, kind of like us) meet up at a bar to tell semi-drunken tales. So, this bar they meet at could be called "Spirits", which can be a double-meaning considering they are drinking spirits and telling stories of spirits.
