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.

Toy Story 3

After coming back from a late night viewing of Disney Pixar’s Toy Story 3, I felt compelled to write a little. This, in my opinion, was one of Pixar’s top 3 films to date – and while the animation and graphics were absolutely mind blowing, it really came down to the writing. Yes, the script. The story.

We’re very bad, negligent people.

We’ve neglected the website for a very long time. And we’re sorry. We have a lot of updates. First off, we’ve been seeking out various sponsorships from companies (and we’ve been getting lots of results, too!) The script’s going through refinements, we’ve started looking at actors for Monitor, and we’re busy with school. When summer comes we’re going to have… Continue »
