Highly suspect student film

***tabacco*** · 01-31-2006, 01:50 PM

Hmm... for the curious, here's a film I made last quarter. Note: It's actually pretty awful. It's the result of not enough time plus the fact that I'm not a writer and I don't like camerawork. Unfortunately, I was stuck doing both even though I really only like editing, so yeah. Blame the instructor for not letting us work in groups. Also we weren't allowed sync sound. Argh.

)

Also, if anyone knows a simple way to do a countdown title in FCP or LiveType, let me know

I enjoyed it. I've been in that guy's shoes (er, socks) before. Writer's block is a bitch.

***tabacco*** · 01-31-2006, 09:11 PM

Heh... it's a true story. I went through 4 treatments before I gave up and made a film about a guy not being able to come up with anything to make a film about and eventually making a film about a guy not being able to think of ideas for a film

Hey! I once wrote a play about a girl who couldn't come up with any ideas for writing a play.

Probably the best of the stereotype I've ever seen is Barton Fink (1991).
Sort of nightmarish. emm. Typically Coen, you might say. I luv it anyway.

That film rocks! And so does your's Tabacco

Shooting a short (15 min.) soon as well, supposed to film this week but we couldn't get the priceless camera yet (does that sound spoiled or what

).

That was great.

You have a dashing voice, and good looks too.

I'm sure I've heard that music in a porno flick.

***tabacco*** · 02-01-2006, 02:35 PM

Well, Lemon Jelly's "The Staunton Lick" was used in the series finale of Spaced. And the first song is from BG&E.

Oh, man that was... nice...

samIamsad · 02-01-2006, 06:02 PM

HeheH! Oh, that reminds me of my second semester.... Dunno if it's still up there somewhere, though. Ah, it was far too artsy (and I was only busy writing cryptic booklet texts) anyway.

Funny, that song was just stuck in my head...

Heh, great video. Just like me usually. Though at the point I get the idea, I probably screw it somehow, and might end up doing something else from that too
