Rough and Tough like leatha

okay so i thought i wrote a response to the ready about micro cinemas but i had one like it for my 6x1 blog so i guess i didn't. but i think its better that maybe because this one will be better than one i did a week ago because this weekend i wen t to such an event. I went to a premier for a friends short film "Lazer Arm" it was a short campy sci fi film. it didnt get into visions so they decided to invite all their friends over to have their own viewing. And i agreed after watching it i dunno if it fit in cucalorus but when it was just a small venue with all friends it really was a fun film to watch.. plus the whole alcohol factor it was a small living room packed with about 30 friends watching a 30 inch plasma connected to a mac and a few speakers. they started off the even with some friends DJing. when everyone arrived and had a few beers they screen 3 small shorts before the feature. which wasnt really a feature it was probly only 15 minutes but compared to the rest it was. This whole thing reminded me of the article about the rough theater. it was a bunch of friends drinking and yelling and cursing at eachother, and cheering. i dont know if it would have worked in any other format i talked to a few other friends who said the same thing. they had seen it before but the atmosphere changed everything for the better. i believe there will be more of these in our future once i get a projector or steal one.

self portrait

okay so this week for my 6x1 blogg i actually wrote a huge post about the visuals of my self portrait because we were aloud to talk about anything soo check that out too but as for this post i think ill talk alittle bout the sound scape, because i really wasnt sure it was going to work. So it starts out with a really blurry shot of myself in a mirror. there is an erie ambience and a person whispering i actually just took a clip of a confessional from like a reality show and cut it all up to make it sound like the male voice is talking to himself and basically apologizing. i layered some clips of a doctor talking about anxiety. i found a really appropriate part of his speech where he is talking about your legs taking you from A to B i loved that sound bit and tried to make it very audible. then i layered another sound bit of someone talking about skateboarding but its hard to tell what hes actually talking about. i used a crumbling sound from sounddogs.com for the title and for when the pills open up into the "screen". the only sound for the rest of the time was of me riding down a sidewalk. i rented a shotgun mic and hand mount and actually recorded this on my own. im sure i looked ridiculous with head phone a camera a huge mic riding down the sidewalk on eastwood at 2 am but i was really happy with the way it came out the sound of riding on a side walk with even sized slabs of concrete makes a really cool sound and it seemed to fit with the look of the flip book images. the part when i fall on screen the sound comes to a stop i guess that was just lucky and when i land the trick i start skating again . i just ran out of side walk and i had to turn around but it worked well. i basically let it run out until my credits. which i did for my first idea of myself portrait. i figured it would be dumb to just have text as credits so i turned my old title into my credits. soo now between this post ad my other one i pretty much have covered the whole making of Page 1 of 1. the end
