One of these is my final short film for my Intro Production class. You may remember Millicent Creevy from a couple months ago- the first film I made for the class, available a few entries downwards. Check it out if you haven't yet!
In order to replicate what is sure to be a fantastic in-class viewing experience today, make sure you have 2 glasses of wine before viewing...
]]>The first half is really just to set up the little puppet show in the second half. Also, here's an example of some of the awesome music Casey Bushmaker is writing for the film!
Warning: Swearing and implied drug use.
]]>Well, that and there hasn't been any new content since our trailers... We aim to upload new videos on a semi-regular basis, so I'm looking forward to school projects providing further content.
The assignment was to create a 10-shot narrative from dramatic situations we randomly drew- my scenario was Enemies-Fall-In-Love. So- enjoy one of hopefully numerous episodes in the life of Millicent Creevy, private investigator and occultist.
By the by, The Worm and the Poodle is entering final stages of post-production. It won't be done by Halloween, but I will be submitting an in-progress version to the WI Film Festival. I'll give y'all a week to enjoy Millicent, then I'll post another Worm/Poodle sneak peek- this time with music by the talented Casey Bushmaker.
But you'll just have to come back next week for that.
]]>First, Disconnected.
Next, The Worm and The Poodle.

Showtimes are 8/19, 8/20, and 8/21 at 8pm. For tickets and more information, visit www.anarchcity.com.
]]>In case you don't know how this kind of contest works, we had 48 hours to write, film edit and score a short film. We drew a genre at random and everyone in the contest had to incorporate a given character, prop and line of dialogue. We drew Romance, and the other elements were as follows:
Character: Matt or Maggie Michaels, musician
Prop: Calendar
Line of Dialogue: "Where do you want to meet?"
Based on the other submissions, I would say we were one of the newest groups to participate. I also think we did a damn fine job of it.
UPDATE: At the "Best of" awards ceremony last week, "A Fairly Normal Love Story" walked away with Best Use of Character, Best Use of Genre, Best Writing, and Runner Up for fan favorite (and the film that won fan favorite was absolutely perfect--we all voted for it too).
Not bad for our first year.
]]>A feature in Chicago Art Magazine! Some of the quotes make me sound a little doofy, but overall it's pretty good press. :)
]]>Note: I am not the Pixies.

Another entry is on its way, but for the time being, enjoy this week's Sneak Peek!

Last Saturday we managed to coordinate a complicated set of driving scenes- they went quite well- and now it's just a few little cameos here and there, a couple of the commercials that appear in the film, and some voice-over work left.
I've also begun post-production editing... I think I'm going to track my hours of work with post just like I did with pre, cause people are always asking how long it takes to make a film, and to be honest, I have no idea! I usually just say, "um... a really long time?" I think I've put in about 10 hours so far- a teeny drop in a giant bucket, but it's a start.
Sarah and I are meeting about Bod Squad Season 2 tomorrow... Very excited to leap back into the world of our girls on the run, especially with the technical knowledge we've gained over the course of the last year. This season will be bigger and better, with way more action and shorter episodes. It's gonna be sweeeeeet.
And, in case you came here for watchin the movin pitcherz and not readin the boring wordz, here's the Sneak Peak of the Week #5! My first attempt at fast-motion animation of this style... thanks to Justin Schober for his expertise!
