Changes and Digital Filmmaking Work Shop





Its been some time since I've written a blog. Well, a lot has happened. First I want to say the Digital Film Making Work Shops are great for the people wanting to become filmmakers. Bill Millios and Marc Vadeboncoeur give students hands on experience instead of sitting in a class talking about theory. If you want to go to film school it's okay I guess if you like over paying and getting teachers who either failed as filmmakers or believe that Hollywood is the only way to do it. In this day and age there is no need put twenty or thirty thousand into four years of film school. Learning from real independents who understand and know the realities of film making will push you farther ahead. You'll also save money to buy a camera or get your first film started.
Ten years of my life are tied up in The Other Side Of Hell. There's a lot of blood, sweat, and headaches in this film. I'm coming close to having it finished. Once the color correction is done and the final cut is locked then I'll be jumping on to the sound mix and sound track. I've seen the Other Side Of Hell a million times and I know if the sound design is weak the film will fall flat. When I put the trailers on the web then you'll get an idea of what I'm going for as far as the sound mix and music I want.
Also I'd like to thank all the hard working crew members and actors who put in a lot of time in to this crazy film. Without their help I wouldn't have this film near done. I feel I'm lucky that the people who have worked on the film understand what I'm trying to go for. There is no "I" in making a film. It is a group effort. With out a great crew the film wouldn't be made.
I think all of us get discouraged at one time or another. I've lost momentum with The Other Side OF Hell for sometime. What keeps me going is the love of film making. The best part is when there are no EGOS involved!
