I have really really bad news….. I’m going to keep making more and more movies of all types. I’m going to keep writing articles. I’m going to continue making my TV shows. I have no intention of slowing down in the slightest in my promotion of all of these things. Read more…
I promote my movies online. A lot. There is nothing new or even original about this. I make movies because I want them to be seen by as many people as possible. I am incredibly proud of the actors, the camera work, and everyone who helped make the movie. I Read more…
Put out the latest Movie Cliché clip (see below). It felt really good to get this done then put it out into the world. It took so long, much longer than it should have. It’s done now. That’s what counts. I really hope this finds its way out into an Read more…
So, got another Emmy nomination. Totally rad. To be honest, I was not expecting it. I feel what I submitted this year was inferior to what I sent last year, which means, winning is a LOT less likely. That’s okay; that isn’t the point really, at least for me. I Read more…
FRAMELINES and Peter John Ross have been nominated for a 2014 Emmy Award for the Tech Tip segments. This is the 2nd year and 2nd nomination for the TV series. We are so proud of the filmmakers we have featured and are so grateful to all the supports of the Read more…
Got the first pass of the sound mix last night. 90% there already. That means stepping up my host segment final tweaks, getting this thing ready for release on Friday. No one is particularly waiting for this, nor is there any anticipation. I just want to do this for me. Read more…
So I missed my mark of having all 5 pieces edited from last weeks shoot. Instead, I did get 4 done and I watched several movies outside of doing some other work. I feel pretty darn good about what has been accomplished thus far. I’m still on track for a Read more…
Got most of the stuff from last Sunday’s shoot edited for picture lock. No color correction, no visual FX, no sound design or mix yet, but getting the picture lock begins all those other processes. Five pieces cut in 3 days demonstrates a significant improvement in my acumen of late. Read more…
My ploy to deceive myself actually works a little. I started by just doing the normal ASSISTANT EDITOR work, IE creating bins (folders), moving raw footage into them, duplicating the single channel of audio to both (dual mono), and then starting to just watch all the raw footage. Of course, Read more…
I volunteered to judge some categories for the Emmy’s and also the big local film festival. Got my Emmy ones done yesterday and wow was I impressed. Having a greater understanding of the process means I am even less likely to take home a gold statue, nonetheless even get another Read more…
The shoot went over. Way over. And it was TOTALLY worth it. The horror movie cliches were done as night shoots – how is that possibly a bad thing? We’ve got five of these mini movies in the can. It took almost 15 months to get them shot, but now Read more…
The Movie Cliche auditions went well. Very happy, found some people for sure. Some of them won’t get shot for the movies until June-July-August, but it was nice to find new actors and connect with people I haven’t seen in a while. The shoot Sunday has me excited, nervous, and Read more…
