The Forest Keeper from nlj on Vimeo

Released from his isolation chamber....a young man is introduced to the wonders and terrors of the forest by a mysterious shaman...

Weird, weird, weird. From the 'Doctor Who' 80s style intro text, this cinematic weird-de-force fascinates and confuses. For starters, why are they speaking in robot voices? And what sort of world...

YouTubers, we love you!

POSTED BY , 09 June 2007 | PERMALINK

As many of you probably know, we were lucky enough to be featured on YouTube's front page this past week. The absolute swarm of insightful comments, questions, and love was nothing short of magical. It's fantastic to know that people are responding to the uber-indie DIY mentality that makes this new wave of filmmaking so fun.

In the upcoming episodes we'll be making a special point to be...

Zombies are Freedom. The Theory.

POSTED BY , 08 June 2007 | PERMALINK

I, Brett Dougherty, have long argued that if there were zombies, there would be world peace.

I know, a bold and seemingly asinine statement, but hear me out for a hot second. Zombies, the walking dead, would force us to join together under a single cause - to save our own asses. We would have to unite and kill what is already dead, burn what cannot feel pain, decapitate all...

Oan and his vanilla ice-cream from focusmatic on Vimeo

 

Oan, our son...and his vanilla ice-cream.

music by I'm from Barcelona

I love the way this looks. Laurent Perret uses a DVX-100 with a depth of field adaptor (35mm adaptor), which gives it its own unique and surreal look to it. The dark edges and the out of focus background just makes the real world seem a...

12 minutes before the sunset from Remyyy on Vimeo

 

I've started to film tvelwe minutes before the sunset and didn't cut the camera until the end. During the editing, I've used only the cut to make the clip.

I think we've all seen just about all we thought we could handle of sunsets. BUT, you've never seen a sunset like this. The shot compisition, the editing, the...

On The Lot: Episode 5 (Fox Television)

POSTED BY , 06 June 2007 | PERMALINK

It’s becoming quite normal for On The Lot to change it’s style at the snap of someone’s fingers. In this case, those fingers belong to Fox, and the reason for snapping is terrible ratings. Yes, the hottest show of the summer (according to promotional snippets) isn’t all that hot.

 

Then again, who said changes were bad? Well, in this case, they are. Instead of taking the two night...

Lucid Dreaming from JD on Vimeo

 

A look into Lucid Dreaming.

I had a lucid dream once and it ended with me on a couch...naked and alone. I could go into it, but it'd just end with you feeling sorry for me. As depressing as this dream was, it was enough for me to experience the most surreal moment of my life. And with a bunch of cool effects and useful tricks, Justin...
