I Not Dead…
July 23rd, 2010
…if I may so bold as to quote the title of Graham Roumieu’s poignant and soul achingly profound book about Bigfoot.
Close call though.
So, I’ve been out of touch with the interwebs for over a year now. It was a time of moving and renovations and family stuff and frame by frame covering up Emilie’s goddamn tan lines for Magellan. I learned alot about the wonders of After Effects and the unfortunate reality of limitations.
I made a Star Wars fanfilm.
I knew it’d be fun and I’d kinda like more than just the folks on my Facelurk friends list to see the upcoming chapters of Magellan and Meridian. As it turned out, entering the George Lucas Fanfilm Challenge (the winner of which is chosen by George hisself), became a true homage to Lucas. He nearly died making A New Hope, and so did I making just a ten minute fanfilm. Like most of my stories, this one has lots of amusing bits at my own expense. Over the next week, I’ll share the sorrid tale. Maybe there’s a lesson to be learned. I dunno.
So, I’m back at it and have a good deal of stuff to share with you over the next little while. Stuff like…
Star Wars: Myth & Legends
A slicer and her droid companion find themselves on a holonet run gone all kinds of wrong. The first 7 or so minutes became our entry into the 2010 Fanfilm Challenge. The action sequence conclusion is done and will appear here on this site, and maybe Atom.com. I’m not sure.
The Magellan Affair
Our retro sci-fi noir. More Bogart than Blade Runner, and more Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid than anything else. Did some changes to Part One and have Part Two ready to go (damn tan lines). I promised myself I wouldn’t shoot any other projects until Parts Three through Seven were finished.
Meridian
A supernatural comedy set in the Canadian prairies. Corner Gas meets X-files. Filmed as a 22 minute pilot to be released in three bite sized chunks.
There’s other stuff (although there really shouldn’t be). Maybe a new script for a full length feature once Magellan’s done. Maybe a webcomic based on the Teen Titans comics of the 80s. Maybe even some more Mosquito. I sure did appreciate the few kind words I got asking for more when I kinda crapped out there.
