10 YEARS trailer shoot: Thoughts and Reflections

Posted by Mike on 21 January 2010 | No responses

I have no idea what the reflections will be. I’m just getting that out of the way in case you get to the bottom of this and shout at the computer about how I lied about reflections.

Firstly, and I know no one it’s aimed at will read this but all the same, we want to thank everyone that came out to help.
Those hereafter thanked are:
(in order of crew, stars and extras)
Spark Meister
Chris Helle
Dave Gibbons
Amanda Anderson
Rosemary Patterson & Neighbor
Mike Carlson
Holly Newcomb
Wes Thompson
Patricia Patterson
Ginny-Rose Woodside
Shaun Anders
Sara Balagna
Dennis Balagna
Bryan’s cousin Jeff and family

I left Bryan out because I considered he and I as the ones thanking people.

What an awesome day. At some point I’ll get some screenshots to share with you. For me the day started at 7:30 in the morning and ended about 2 AM. By the end my feet and back were hurting and I was particularly –if not incredibly randomly– sore in the legs  the next day but I wouldn’t rather have been anywhere else. Nothing gets me going like creating.

If the extras minded they didn’t seem to. I had initially scheduled us for two hours, not taking into consideration everything we’d need to do or other people’s feelings, but they marched on and we got done what we needed. We’ve got only pick-ups to do and we’re onto the editing room.

Watch this space for the finished product!

CASTING CALL!!

 Are you busy the 16th of January? Hate making trailers to movies? Do you suck? Are you any age that is not between 28-30?

If you answered NO to all of these questions, then we’re looking for YOU!

Think about it, this is your opportunity to VISIT BEAUTIFUL FARMINGTON, IL!

Just imagine it! This could be YOU!

On January 16th, Bryan Wolford and myself are going to be filming a trailer for a high school reunion comedy and we’re looking for extras. Dress will be whatever you would wear to a HS reunion, which SHOULD be  obvious, but not beyond my mentioning.

We’re aiming for a 12 noon start time. And plans are to have the majority of everything shot by 2.  

If you can make it,  send Bryan or I an email and let us know.

We’d love to have you out!

As I’m neither a legitimate news source or even a site that gets more than two visits per financial quarter –not to mention I had to think about if I spelled legitimate right–  I’m going to let the ACTUAL blogs and updaters do all the work.

So here we go: (OH! Some dialogue is NSFW, so now you’re warned.)

Today seems to be trailer day.

As witnessed by the trailer for IRON MAN 2*

Looks every bit as appealing as I figured it would. Head out May 1st to make sure you have a ticket for May 7th.

 

*denotes the need for Quicktime.

An Ass-kicking update.

I don’t really need to say anything here. I’m just going to let this happen.

So out of the fact that nothing was on, I decided to get myself involved with Spike’s Video Game Awards. The writing was awful, the cameos were forced, and the audience feigned excitement at everything. So, it was an award show. Read more

Dear Santa: A Christmas Wish

Posted by Mike on 6 December 2009 | No responses

Dear Santa,

 I think I should start out by saying that you and me are going to run into problems if you continue on in this manner. What manner? I think you know. I mean, you have a book that tells you who is naughty and who is nice, so I’m sure somewhere in that book of yours there’s like a subsection with a person’s particular merits or misdeeds. (I know that parking lot fire from ’04 is in there. Unless you’re going to tell me there’s some OTHER reason you didn’t give me a jet pack you stingy old…

 I digress. Read more

Heroes: The Fifth Stage

Posted by Mike on 6 December 2009 | No responses
TV INFO RUNDOWN:
Noah has a surprise run-in with visitors; Samuel makes progress on his plan; Peter goes to extremes to obtain what he wants; and Claire comes to an unexpected destination.

 

This week’s title, aptly named ‘the fifth stage’ refers to the five stages of grief. The stages are as follows:

Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance.

Peter is going through the stages having recently found out that his brother isn’t his brother so much as a murdering psycho superhuman, and his real brother has been dead for about six months now.  His mother wants him to move straight into the fifth stage and by proxy, she’s really asking all of us to do the same.

Movie Making!

Posted by Mike on 5 December 2009 | No responses
You dont see that every day.

"You don't see that every day." "Speak for yourself."

 

Production began today on the thus far untitled new short film by Michael James. It stars both Mike Carlson and Mike Patterson (pictured above) and ushers in the triumphant return of  Two Matts Productions.

I can’t and won’t give away too much this early in the game suffice it to say that this happens:

Spoiler Alert: This is a foot.

Spoiler Alert: This is a foot.

I guess it won’t hurt to tell you what happens.

The film itself  is a coming of age picture about the discovery of a body in the backyard which leads two friends to question life and their own mortality. Together they try to find out what it all means and along the way grow in wisdom and strength.

I’m just effing with you. They try to get rid of the body and hilarity ensues.

Watch for future updates on the project RIGHT HERE!!

I think this pretty much explains itself, don’t you?

Went to Sploder.com on a whim of being bored and made myself a profile and then a game.
K.M.S.N.E. 1

If I can, I’m going to set it up to be played at the main branch of LPP.
