aequicktip Quick Tip: Painting Out Tracking Markers Hey guys! Just a quick(ish?) tip on roto-painting tracking markers out of your VFX shots. Try and ignore the crazy mouse – it was recorded on a separate track and fell out of sync. Continue »
The-Dark-Knight-Screencaps-the-dark-knight-5263687-1232-720 The Nolan Format We’re all familiar with the huge scale of director Christopher Nolan’s work (The Dark Knight, Inception and more)… The cinematic style that Mr. Nolan is so well known for is not achieved by just capturing striking imagery – but by capturing it on a larger format than is typically used. Several sequences in The Dark Knight were shot on 70mm… Continue »

crane_preview Getting Ready to Cast | Product Reviews Coming Soon Last August marked the beginning of Monitor. We sat down with only 12 pages of script and discussed the script, location possibilities and distribution options. Though we were unsure where this project was going – the consensus was that two years was a long way away. And now we’ve reached our halfway mark. In a few weeks we’ll be ready… Continue »

King Kong Dinosaur Jared’s Very First Film I thought it would be fun (and a little humiliating) if I uploaded my first ever film from when I was six years old… It’s called “The Pursuit,” and it was made with  little Lego movie maker kit with the assistance of my dad. So, in short, I’ll be expecting the lifetime achievement award any day now. Here it is…. Continue »

Top 5 Film Directors

I should note that these are my (Jared’s) top 5, and that we’ll probably do another list with Luca and Evan’s. 1. David Fincher David Fincher (Benjamin Button, Fight Club, Social Network) gets the number one spot on my list because of his insane versatility and awesome style. Fincher is a master storyteller, and has an incredible ability to connect… Continue »

More Location Stuff!

Went back to the location yesterday to survey light and get a better sense of the space we’re working with. Absolutely love the location – though we got completely spooked when we heard someone(who later turned out to be the mailman) open the screen door to the front of the house while no one was there. While we were on… Continue »

Film Isn’t That Big of a Visual...

I’ve always had the belief that film is something like 60% sound. Drastic, I know – but think for a moment about what a huge role sound plays in movies. The reason I say film is 60% sound (and not 50%) is because sound often lends itself to provide visual queues as well as setting dramatic atmosphere. An action movie… Continue »

Climbing the Ladder of Success

Hey Guys. Monday and Tuesday of this week I was out on a shoot for a Tylenol commercial with a company I am interning for. It was probably one of the best experiences I have ever had in my career as a filmmaker. On set I was a PA (Production Assistant), and I had to do a lot of heavy lifting,… Continue »

A Really Cool Resource

Spent a long day volunteering at a TV station in one of the NYC hospitals (I shan’t say which). Got to develop some content and host a couple of live shows. In a meantime, I thought I might point out a neat resource I stumbled upon, known as the Gnomon Workshop. Some of you guys might be very familiar with… Continue »

Burning Man – The DSLR Film made...

So this film, “Burning Man”, has gotten tons of recognition for its superb quality, and the fact that it was made with $0. Something to also note is that it was shot on the 5D Mark II, a higher end DSLR. It was shot in 3 days. You can learn more about it here: http://sceneblock.com/featured/burning-man/ This film just comes to… Continue »

Some Various Comics

The purpose of this website is primarily to upload and discuss film and video content – but I felt like breaking from the norm and uploading a few web comics I recently created in flash. The concept behind the unnamed series is that we follow the lives of Dungeons and Dragons – like characters through their daily lives. That being… Continue »

Contacted the Film Board

We contacted the film board yesterday about permits in the area we’re shooting for Monitor. Damn, are they expensive. We’ll probably haggle the rates down to something more manageable, but it’s still a lot of money. Things are looking good for the production, though. We got good response from the production meeting and we’re moving right along. Continue »
