Paradox of the Intellect - Extended Edition

Comp_1_00000

I hope you all enjoyed my film "Paradox of the Intellect". While I was in Pre-Production for the sequel for my Paradox Trilogy, I was thinking to myself, 'Why don't I finish the entire Paradox of the Intellect film I planned!' So that is exactly what I'm going to do! I'm taking this chance to revise the script and make it better. Using footage from the original film, I will add the new scenes and shots from my revised materials. I plan to show more story behind the character of Alexander Ballantine and hint at the story line of Officer William Miller. More action and effects will be used to keep the audience interested. I have been learning Photoshop and After Effects so I plan to make this new extended edition more professional and way more epic.

If you noticed earlier in this blog I said something about my "Paradox Trilogy". Yes, it means what it says. More information coming about that later. Until then, look for the Extended Edition of "Paradox of the Intellect" to hit the web summer 2010

There SHOULD be an app for that!

With everything that keeps one busy in life, it makes us wish for the things we need. For myself, I need a vacation. This spring break has keep me busy with SXSW Mafia Day Film Festival, MediaX Show Your Reel Awards show, etc. Don't get me wrong I enjoy these events immensely, it's just I want some down time. So, I am here to tell you all about an idea I have to help change the world!

Introducing...
the NEW iNeedThat App!!

This app gets you whatever you need with a touch of your finger. Vacation? You can have it! A nap? Go ahead! Life? Why not! It will be available once the Apple Corp returns my calls... its been 7 months... they may call back.

P.S. - Congrats to all the winners and finalist of the Show Your Reel Competition! I am really proud of all the hard work and time you all put in. In the words of Mr. Carl Settles: "I see big things in your future!" Keep up the good work!

I want one... two would be nice

This is the JVC GY-HM700U . Is on my wish list for a distant christmas. One of the reasons I want a camera like this is because of the solid state recording technology. I still have a lot of time and research to do before I make a decision.

Personally I hate capturing footage from miniDV tapes. Imagine you have a 2 hour show to edit. That's 2 hours to record it plus another 2 hours to capture, not including the time you'll spend editing. Now what if you have that same situation, only 3 cameras were used for the shoot. That's 2 hours to record it plus 6 hours to capture if you're doing all that yourself. Not to mention the amount of time you'll go over all that footage and edit.

With SD cards (solid state) the footage gets transfered to your computer like files on a hard drive. Now that's 2 hours to record plus 45 minutes tops to transfer all those files. It's an amazingly helpful technology in the video industry.
