The cutting-room floor

Still-Hunt
A few days ago Emily St.Pierre, Writer and Director of "Still-Hunt", began posting 5 min parts of the short film on youtube. In total the short film ran about 16 minutes over 3 parts. As a video editor myself, watching the full length version I thought of ways to streamline the short to fit a ten minute length that would work with youtube. In the process I think I reinforced the found footage feel of the short (particularly at the intro).

If you compare the original short to the EP version you will also notice a huge change in the look of the film from a colour and lighting standpoint. Hopefully these changes help to make the film more immersive to the viewer.

Thats it for now. Next thing to watch for should be an Effed Production called "Chezz Busters", that I believe we will be filming in November if the opportunity shows itself.

Cheers,
Richard

Chezz Busters, Careers, and a lot of Studying

The title says it all. That's right folks We have a new title in our hands, careers are thrown down and studying is a pain!

Chezz Busters:
Unfortunately, Were still in the making of Chezz Busters. It is basically about two homeless bums, with lots of hair, chezz, and greasy clothing. There is one man, who looks like an FBI agent and he is enraged by the homeless bums in his town...and he really hates chezz

Careers:
Richard now has a career with Teratech, which is great, he went to school for Electrical Engineering and hes now in a career which does that, and gone for weeks at a time training. Film production may be a long wait, or may take some time to film and put up as expected. Mike is working part time now, trying to pay off his school so he can go back to school and get back into working up to his career.

Lots of Studying:
As I said before, the title says it all...I've been studying my tushy off to become a Correctional Officer/Police Officer...who would have thought there was 8 books, a police manual, and shit piles of corrections notes just to become one?

That's about all there is right now for a quick update, Richard had the just of it last post, and I'm just letting everyone know what we've been up to, if our fans our worrying about us.

Til next time, Caio,
Shaun.
