Rock U

The movie is getting started and I am excited about it. The screenplay is written and we have a really good story line going here. Shooting will be starting soon, and I can't wait to get it going. I am slightly stressed with all the other work that I have to do, but I think that once things really get going here I will be much better.



WOOOOHOOOOO!

New Motivation

So, now that Kate and I are doing a full length movie, I won't be working so hard on animations. I am still really interested in that though.

Kate and I started writing down some basic plot and scene by scene stuff over the weekend. We talked to the main band members and we are going to plan on working either later this week or next week at the latest.

I am excited to have this opportunity. I really enjoyed making "Best In Shove," so I think this will be just as enjoyable. The fact that we are doing this right and we can actually put it into film festivals will be awesome! That is what I am most excited about. I would like to shoot for making one or two movies a year from now on.

This mockumentary will be about a rock band that is looking to keep their fans up to date on myspace. That is the basic concept, but there are other quirks built in as well.

EXCITEMENT!

Second Edition

In this I tried to add animation, but I need to find a better way to do that. Drawing on paper is quite tedious. I am thinking about a dry erase board. I don't know if I am happy with this.....but it was a first effort.

First stop animation



This video uses a song by an artist named Mika called Lollipop. Mika's cd called Life In Cartoon Motion made me think about animation. I want to build off of this video and do Cartoon animation to his songs. I believe they will all start with a person pushing a play button. Hopefully I can find a whiteboard, but I will use paper if not. I might want to do that so that I have those for the future. This is something that I am really interested in because I love music, and I have always been interested in making music videos.
