Metal Heads On Electronic Bodies

Oh, almost forgot! Happy International EBM-Day (24/2) y'all!!! :-D

Luminous Inferno

I, and very soon I can say "we", have much to look forward to now!
The project I'm sitting with right now, a nice little thug-flick drama/thriller called Jag Är Min Egen (I Am My Own) by Swedish director Johan Bergqvist, about a hoodlum finding himself knee-deep in shit in a very different way than they usually do, is nearing the end of post with just a few days left!
After that I'll have one day off with my friends Star Wars and Star Trek, with occasional S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and return to editing the day after.
Next week will see quite a few meetings, and if all goes well I have some cast and crew to announce! As I said, this is a mostly improvised movie, so more will be added upon over time, but it will be a good beginning!

I've began editing a fully 5.1 promotion short for supporters and sponsor using the footage from the new locations, and feel very satisfied with the photo! When I realized where this was beginning to lead I began looking for something new to keep both within budget and keep it hard and gritty as the iPhone camera and app just plainly couldn't deliver what I now wanted - a feature film for commercial distribution. On the silverscreen if possible, if so "only" on festivals.
After looking through everything from DSLR to GoPro I actually settled with my old iPhone 4, though with a new third-party app that gave me the settings I needed and 25mbps compression. Holy crap that made a difference! The original Camera-app have about 6mbps I think. Might be up to 10, but that's still very far from cigar.

Metal Auf Metal

Here I just got passed by a zombie looking for brains. Can't help but feeling a little insulted.

Life is good! This here shiny new and insignificantly used i7-based edit-station, with ditto complete Adobe-package including Premiere Pro CS6 and Photoshop, has made the entire process advance something ridiculously! Especially compared to the original idea of editing it directly in the iPhone (an idea I abandoned in rage the very same day I got it, just hours before getting frustrated with Lightworks and abandoning that one too in favor of my good old Premiere Pro 2...)!
But most important, I'm now in negotiations with a producer and his production company about joining the project, including helping getting it distributed no less!

From A World Less Bright

I haven't written here in well over two months, I simple didn't have the energy to make a new post at the time that would look anything but gibberish as I had to put all my energy into another project and nightly shootings.
With that said, this whole project has taken a quantum leap forward since last time!
