OMG! it Been Like Forever

Hello, people who may or may not be reading this film makers dribble. Im back from a long time of writing nothing. I turn 26 yrs old this passed February and I've been keeping my self busy. Was close in geting a full time editing postion from one of Floridas best Production Studios but I didn't make the cut. Since that day I've been reading more books on the subject of video/ film editing. The books I grabbed and recommend to my readers are the following: How to cheat in Motion, Make the Cut and iMac portable genius.Really good books. Another thing is Im working on a side project that I was involved with about a year ago. I was working on a documentary about the life of the great boxing coach Angelo Dundee.. I've always like this story and I am glad to be back working on it. As for my DSLR progress, I currently get a new rig to mount my 550D/ T2i. I'll have video to show off the rig and share my thoughts about it.

New Typography ad for VP group

For the pass few days I've been trying to create a new video ad for my company. If you haven't seen my other animated ads I've got quite a few. This would be my fourth video, which I decide to take on a different approached with the pace and text animation. The style is called "Typography" which in Wikipedia is defined as "the art and technique of arranging type, type design, and modifying type glyphs" or something like that. Here is my Ad using this method.

The consumption of media in the palm of my hand :My thoughts of the android and smart phones

As I sit back ,against my bed and just speak into the phone which is capturing my thoughts and putting it into my blog it's quite amazing how a little, pocket size machine can have me connected to the world. For production it's become a blessing. I get updates on new jobs, I keep in touch with my online community and get emails from clients. Bloging with a phone is ok,I perfer my keyboard.With this in my hand im a force to be recon with. Android is way better then an iphone. 3 years ago I wanting an iphone beacuse so many of colleagues had one and I was stuck with a crappy text phone. The internet was so slow, no way I could see the full HTML like I with my current phone. Another disadvantage that my old phone had that my current one does was video. If you have a demo video on YouTube and no laptop, then how is anyone going to see your work? With this smart phone its only a click away. I couldn't afford geting an iPhone and hated at&t plan. But now a good android smart phone is quite affordable and it works almost with every phone network ( I have a Metro PCS plan). And because this phone updates me on new gigs it pretty much pays for it self. See, I know that a smart phone is only as smart as the person using it.

Celtx: the Screen Writing Tool that you must get

Like any inspiring video/ film maker, I've got stories to tell. Typing out your vision on the key board is long and some times pain staking process. Trying to type a script in the proper format isn't a walk in the park neither. Here a sample Link to how complicating a script is supost to be broken down. Now there are Screen writing programs out on the market that can help you get the proper format and help you move faster in your long journey. The one most widely recommend screen writing software program is Final Draft. For what I've read it is the "it" program for pro screen writers. Now the price of this program is around $200 dollars, which is not bad (i'd say its quite a affordable) but If your like me you're always trying to save and find ways around spending your money. Lets keep them pockets full, shall we. Once again I searched on the web and came a cross Celtx. Celtx is an amazing program with so much to offer, not just a script but a pre- production planing. The software it self is pretty easy to understand, with samples storys of Wizard of Oz and War of the Worlds. Celtx can help you to create a schedule of production, organize storybords, create a lighting outline of your set and add Mp3 audio notes. Not only does it help to write screenplay for feature films but aslo for theater and comic book script. All this goodness and for zero payment. Thats right!! you read it, its free for Windows and Mac. So if you want unleash that award winning story, try Celtx.
