35 Millimeters of pure amazement


A local movie theater is doing weekly screenings of movie classics (Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Goonies, Ghostbusters, to name a few) and I decided to take a trip down to check out the latest showing of Raiders. I had heard about it in my Film Studies class and I asked my professor whether he knew they were going to be screened in 35mm or not. He said they would all be prints, but I was skeptical.

I had been in situations where I was expecting a screening of a print but was sad to see that it was nothing more than a copy of the film on DVD. Having this happen to me several times I was a bit cynical to the whole deal. They wouldn't really take the time to order prints of these films, would they? I still bought my ticket hoping for the best.

The night of the showing finally came and my level of excitement really hadn't peaked quite yet. The unsureness of the method of screening probably more than any other reason prevented me from attaining that level.

As I sat there in my cushy seats the spaces around me slowly began to fill up more and more. In addition to myself two of my friends Ian and Thomas joined me to see this classic film. Finally the dreaded "Inside Look" concluded and the house lights came up. I wasn't too surprised by this, I figured there would be some sort of prize giveaway or trivia question to be asked by the most expert Indiana Jones fans in attendance, and this situation was no exception.  The prizes were given out and before the manager turned out the light once more he mentioned something about how the PRINT of the last film, "The Goonies", was a little rough but that this one should be in better shape.

WAT.

Take it away!

This has made my weekend.

Spring Shattering

Hey everyone,

Finals Week is almost upon me and my fellow WWU peers and that can mean only one thing...

No one is getting any sleep.

In addition to the obvious that also means that Spring Break is right around the corner!

I am really looking forward to this one because for the first time ever I am actually going somewhere and/or doing something exciting for Spring Break: going to DC!  Washington, that is.

I am borrowing my friend's Canon Rebel SLR camera for the trip so I will make sure that the it is well documented.

Look forward to (hopefully) daily posts about my adventures as I explore our nations capital!

I will end today's post with a video that I did recently for the that VTV show I work on every once and a while.
Hope you enjoy it!

Ruminations about projects

I've been thinking a lot lately of my own work and how much I really haven't done in the way of film. In order to combat that lack of creativity I have decided to make two changes.

1) I will do at least one creative thing everyday. This could include a drawing, taking a photo, editing something or writing a story. Whatever it is, it needs to start now.

2) Have weekly movie night at my friend Sean's place. Perfect oppertunity to gain some inspiration.

3) I am going to make a short film before next school year. I don't know what it will be about, but it will and needs to happen.



In the meantime I will be making a series of funny short shorts with my friend Chris Antes. We've been talking about doing them for a while now and I see a perfect opportunity to get help out my friend and make some fun, little movies at the same time.


I will keep you posted as things come arise.

So this is the obligatory Death Cab for Cutie quote...

Hope all will be fun and safe for everyone on this fine night.

Its crazy that 2010 is so close, I remember when it felt like a far off year that would never get here.

One cannot help but remember that fateful battle that occured only twenty years ago tonight...




Happy New Year!
