Will's Interview

I filmed this as part of the Hope Shalom commercial to put on my youtube channel. I really liked the flow of the interview and thought the net might want to see the whole thing. Hope you enjoy it. Leave a comment or email me about my interview techniques, I'm still very green on the whole thing. Thanks world.

Hold up - New Stories!

I had been working on the script for what has come to be called "Zombie Girl." Far from a real title also far from finished. The story was coming along fine when I started researching indie film on the internet, specifically horror shorts. I wanted to get a good idea of what people were doing and how I could make it better. This is part of my process.
I found "You're scaring the children", by Soren Narnia. The film leaves a bit to be desired as far as film production, but the story had me hooked. The creepy quality of the film did add to the peculiar story of this man's childhood. It was a good time spent and I had to get in touch with him about the story. I thought the imagery of the events would be great on film. So I wrote him a note and he actually responded to me!
He gave me the go ahead to make the story into a film. He even sent me his ebook "Knifepoint Horror". You should check out his blog, he is one creatively cool writer. I was really fond of the story about the batting machine in first person.
Since he gave me permission and full artistic license to make his story, I am stopping pre- production on Zombie Girl. We are now focusing on getting You're scaring the children up and running. Fortunately, the actors i have talked to about the zombie flick don't mind acting in this film either. woot!
Along with a bunch of other things, video blogging will commence in the next few days. Let's hope the lens doesn't break. ha!

The Big Day

Z opened our first autonomous office this past Wednesday. I have run this ramshackle company from my laptop for so many years it is really hard to know what to do with the space I am renting. I have a desk a computer and a window that opens, this is the good life. I have so many projects on their way this month it is going to be really fun to get it all in order. New crew members have come a long with the new office. The film I shot this autumn is still in editing phase, simply because I have never edited a film before. I think I'm doing a good job. I've read quite a bit about the medium and played with the software so i know what it can do. I am anxious to get off the computer and get behind the camera again. I have one film that is in script phase. A sweet love story about a failed medical student and a cognizant zombie on the run from a terrible circ de macabre.

Translation Key

This is a rudimentary key for translating the notes on the treble clef to the string/fret on the guitar. When looking at the picture, the small tab on the top left tells you which guitar strings represent which notes. String 1 note E correlates to the top space on the treble clef. This is shown in the bottom half of the page. Each whole note has the correlating string number inside it. The notes on the treble clef tell you which notes are where. F, D, B, G, E are the notes on the lines. F, A, C, E, are the notes on the spaces. Middle C on the piano is string 5 fret 3 on the guitar. High C is second string, first fret. As you move up the treble clef your fingers will move down the fret board. Each string being higher than the string before it; you can move from middle C down each string until you hit the open first string, High E. The notes continue on above the treble clef as you follow the frets down the High E string. With this key I have been able to translate beginner piano music into guitar tabs. I don't have one for the base clef yet. I want to learn more about this before I move on to something else. I hope this helps if you need it. If you already know this information I would appreciate some pointers and clarification. Message if you have and comments or questions.
