kylemck: We Need To Talk About Kevin [2011, Lynne Ramsay] I feel like this is the best all around movie I have seen in a while, and apparently the book is a lot better. The writing, directing, cinematography, editing, and acting all came into a perfect harmony in this film. I don’t think they could have casted this film any better either. I didn’t know much about this before I watched it, just listened to people talk a little bit about it on a couple podcasts. There were a lot of original editing techniques used in this film that worked very well for the content. Make sure you’re in a pretty mellow mood for this one, definitely not the best option for Valentine’s day tomorrow. It seems this female director likes dark subject matter since most of the films she has directed have been about morbid things. Regardless, it was very well done… Hence the tumblr post.  Finally got a chance to check it out. I don’t know how to put this without being crude…so I’m just gonna say it….holy shit cinematography boner. So many amazingly composed shots.

dimestorefilms: Our short was picked as a finalist for the Chicago IO 30 day film fest “Vidiocy”. It’ll screen this Thursday (Feb 16th) at 7 PM at IO. From there the finalists will be voted on by the audience and whittled down to a top 3. Live in Chicago and want to come vote for our film (or anyone’s for that matter)? You should. Above is a teaser image and the title we picked out of a hat to be our topic. The time limit and 30 day crunch while working full time was a bit sketchy at times but I’m happy with our content. Lets hope others are as well. You guys busy Thursday? Come say hi.

Editing for 4 hours straight, project needs to be done by Wednesday for the 30 day film fest we’re in. Final Cut X didn’t save our project so the night is shot. Great idea to take the traditional save function out of the equation in your new program and just let the machine “auto save” for us.

I hate everything right now.

I’m not surprised there’s a Groupon for it, I’m surprised they’ve already sold 30.
