movies and more

A lot less people have seen this than I thought, but here’s the film I worked on for the 48 hour film challenge! I put it up on Vimeo, along with other gems such as the entire WALDO series, and some of my school stuff. So, the challenge part of the 48 hour film challenge, is that we were given 1) a genre, 2) a character, 3) a prop, and 4) a line of dialogue. We got 1) horror, 2) Jill Meyers: veterenarian, 3) a portable music player, and 4) “they will get them if we let them”. All groups got the same character, prop, and line of dialogue, but the genre was different for each. We had some real trouble coming up with the concept for it, and didn’t even start shooting until 24 hours into the challenge. My role was basically just the editor, but I guess I helped a little in other aspects of the film.

btw, it’s really effing quiet, so turn up your sound.

In other news, Bill and I are coming down to IOWA!! We’ll be there from monday to friday, and we’ll be ready to hang out and do cool things. But only the COOLEST of things will suffice. We’re picky that way.

In other, other news, my car stereo died. Sorry Steven, it’s the one you gave me. I guess it was pretty old, anyway. It slowly died, first it stopped lighting up part of the time, then it stopped lighting up all the time, then it just plain stopped working. The new stereo I’m getting will have an iPod hookup, which is actually pretty cheap nowadays, so I can power my iPod and listen to music through the same cord. BONUS!

    The end of an era. The iPod hookup will be so nice though. Allyson has an FM adapter for hers, and I really wish we just had a direct line.
