Giant Klondike Bullies Girl! News at 11!

What Would You Do For a Klondike Bar?

So, there’s this contest, you see, where people create ‘commercials’ on the subject of ‘What Would You Do For a Klondike Bar?’

My group and I did a couple of commercials, and one of them I’m wanting to share here, and hopefully, garner some more votes. So let’s get that out of the way first:

What did I do on this video? Well, I wrote, directed, shot, edited, color graded, sound designed and did the motion graphics work. Oh, I also sculpted/built the big, huge, stinkin Klondike bar, with the help of Lesley Sullivan and Angela Maldonado.

John Gholson does the amazing voice for the Klondike, and he initially had the concept of a ‘giant klondike bar.’ Jennifer Blair plays the lovely lady who is doing all the deeds, and Paul Gandersman plays the dumped fiance.

Lesley Sullivan and Peter Yoder produced this, which means they busted their ass making sure everything went well. Lesley made the ’skirt’ for the klondike, which looks so much like foil it blows my mind.

Angela oversaw the ADR session, giving me the CLEANEST audio I’ve ever gotten. It was amazing.

Alright. Go watch the video. And vote! OH, and if you want to see a higher quality version, just ask me. I’ve got one, I’m just keeping it on the downlow until the voting period is over :D

Sons of Festivals

I’ve given myself one year, more or less, to put my senior thesis film, Sons of Gods into various film festivals around the nation. But up until this point, I haven’t been
very pro-active about the whole thing.

Sons of Gods: Prologue

Diag 1: Sons of Gods: Prologue

Sons of Gods is a weird film. Maybe it’s great. Maybe it’s not. That’s in the eye of the viewer, and frankly, I’ve heard it both ways. Personally, like most film makers, I only see the flaws and the things that should have been changed. That said, I stand by 100% the camera movements and editing choices we made, and love how my Director of Photography, Chris Todd, and I were able to get angle after angle, allowing me to make something that at least looks extremely cinematic.

Plus, the visual effects are pretty damn stunning. Tons of sky has been replaced with bluer hues, since most of the atmosphere was blown out while on set. 3 guys walking over a little plot of land 10 times suddenly becomes an army of 100 with space ships in the background, and a $9 pair of plastic National Geographic binoculars seem to work like something out of Star Wars.

OH Wait! Gimme More!
