The Reformed Man

I am a firm believer of working on your own projects, the problem is that often time your own projects don't necessarily bring in any revenue, unless you are able to somehow distribute the project to some online vendor or through advertisements/merchandise.

Case and point is the film I have just finished after two years of work on it. It is titled The Reformed Man and the reason it took me two years is because I was never satisfied with the look of the animation. The basis of the film is that it is a comic book film where all of the pains move as the camera moves with it.

I've included the first couple of the pages from the companion comic book itself and hope to have a trailer up in the next week or so, but I will not be uploading the total film yet as I am going to try and take it through the festival circuit.

October 18 2011 - Editing and lots of it

So last weekend I went out of town to video tape Wooddale Church's fall retreat, and it went really well. I got some high speed video of kids climbing over a wall at an obstacle course and playing football. I shot the video on my Canon 7D at 60 frames per second, but now I'm stuck with the grueling part of taking the video and stretching it out so it looks like it is going in slow motion. I'm sure the video will look good, but it is just taking time. I'll post the video once I get the video completed later tonight. It should be good to watch, but we are looking at a longer video, probably around fifteen minutes.

I'm also working on trying to get my short film The Reformed Man done for MUFF and it's not that one. It stands for the Minneapolis Underground Film Festival. It's looking good, but it's time consuming as the video is done in the same styles as a Scanner Darkly, Waking Life, and those Charles Schuaves (sp?) commercials. I'll post a link to the trailer once I get that done.

Looks like another night without a lof of sleep, though that won't be so bad, because tomorrow I get to sleep in.
