Places i grew up

So I have decided to name my documentary on hauntology/memory/landscape places i grew up. I'm editing it right now. Here are some stills from it. It's only going to be about 6 minutes long probably.

It dawned upon me that I haven't updated recently. And the reason for that is because I am ALMOST DONE FILMING BUMBUS. I have one last scene to film. Making films can be hard sometimes dudes. It requires a lot of planning and foresight, luckily I'm fairly clairvoyant, so I have that advantage, but it takes like 100% of your energy all of the time. If you try to cut corners in anyway it will show. Theres always shots you wish you had and it can be hard to cut around that. But anyway I'll post some production stills soon because I will be editing the next 2 weeks. Also I'm editing my documentary and I'll post some stills from that too. cool.

Endless updates

Alright so spring break is over. I accomplished pretty much everything I wanted to. It got a little hard towards the end because I accidentally deleted all of the files for every movie I've ever made off my external harddrive (teehee). Don't worry, it's probably fixable, and atleast I still have hard copies on tape of the projects I need to finish for this year. Anyway tonight I finished my shot list for bumbus. Check it out.

And yesterday I went shopping for the last time to get props for bumbus. I got something I'm really excited about for the interior honeycomb set. It is a lamp. I can't even describe it's beauty, so I'm going to supply you with a picture. 

(Disclaimer: it's even more electric blue in real life). I'm excited because this is just another one of my crazy props that can cross over into real life usage after the movie is done. Anyway, funny story, woogins (my dog) hates this lamp. I think it's because of the feathers. When I brought it home she smelled it, and then started to bark at it. I thought it'd be funny if I chased her around the house with it, but I think that just made it worse. She was slinking around for a while after, afraid it was watching her, until my mom wrapped it up in a bag to preserve woogins' mental well-being. Daww. Woogins. 

My music

So, everyone that occasionally glances at this blog, today I am letting you into my past lives. And by that I mean my high school life. I am letting you have this zip file of my music entitled "greatest hits". There are some recent covers on there, and then what I know you've all been waiting for: my embarassingly melancholic high school music. The artists are labelled 11th grade and 12th grade respectively. ENJOY.

Greatest Hits

Things that rule today

Trashy japanese rock n roll bands

All this stuff makes me want to poke holes in my amp's speaker and record on a 90s hand held cassette player

Composing musics

Watch me as i compose music on my stylophone. This is not for bumbus it's for something else. Stylophones rule.

LOCK AND LOAD

      I know what you're thinking, cool it with the blog updates freak. But the script is locked and loaded and ready to go.

Bumbus Attonibus Locked Script Download

Here's a lil sample for all yall who are too lazy to download a pdf off the innernet.

THE MOVIE IS SET IN AN ARTIFICIAL FLOWER FIELD. THE FLOWERS ARE NOTICEABLY FAKE, THE BACKGROUND IS PROJECTED SO THAT IT LOOKS LIKE IT EXTENDS INTO THE DISTANCE. NATURE NOISES PLAY.

                                NARRATOR 

                      Ah, the wonders of nature

cut to a close up of dew dropping off of a fake flower petal

                                NARRATOR

                It is said that when spring comes

                mother earth arises from her slumber.

                Life resumes.

cut to a stuffed animal scurrying among the flower stems via visible string.

                               NARRATOR 

                  Spring is bountiful this year, all

                 the creatures are happy to see the sun once again.

cut back to a large papier-mache hive hanging from a twig.

                               NARRATOR

                   One of nature's most fascinating

                   creations is the honey bee. The honey

                   bee relies on an internal clock to dictate

                   his entire life.

Bee puppets one by one exit the hive. They are attached to visible strings.

                              NARRATOR 

                   Every day the honey bee awakens in

                   the early morning.

Close- ups of bee puppets landing on fake flowers. The puppets are actual dead bees attached to strings. Freeze frame. Title appears in bottom on screen: Apis Florea (Honey bee). unfreeze.

                              NARRATOR

                    All day the honey bee collects

                    nectar from up to 1000 different flowers. 

                    Precisely at noon they take a lunch break.

A whistle blows and the bees land on a rotting apple. Another whistle blows and they return to the field.

The sun starts to go down and the bee puppets return to the hive

                             NARRATOR

                    At dusk the bees return home to

                    their hive to make their honey and sleep.

The sun rises and the bee puppets exit their hive again.

                             NARRATOR

                   And thus life continues in this

                   fashion day in and day out.

The camera pans away through the tree branches to another part of the forest. Here we find a smaller hive.

                             NARRATOR 

                   Not all honey bees lead this type of

                   life though. 

The camera zooms into the hole in the front of the hive. 

INT. HONEYCOMB

We are now inside a hive bedroom. A young man in a black and yellow striped shirt, a bee, sits in a chair, staring longingly out a window.

                             NARRATOR 

                   Here we have booboo the honey bee.

                   Booboo is unlike the other bees.  

                   He is afflicted with a rare mental disorder

                   called BUMBUS ATTONIBUS                                                 

Close up of booboo resting his chin in his hand.

                            NARRATOR 

                  Because of booboo's disease he lives

                  in isolation and has developed an 

                  obsession with just one flower. 

                  A common trait of the disease is unusual 

                  shyness which leads the sufferers to take

                  up voyeuristic tendencies. Booboo is crippled 

                  by his shyness; he would rather stay at a 

                  distance than approach the flower and risk 

                  shattering the illusion of his perfect love.

I'm never doing that for you guys again, i had to space all that shit manually. i hope u liked it.

Look at this schedule

As a film student I have been forced to learn SCHEDULING. Get an eye-full of this super profesh film scehdule. I printed it off the internet for free. It's even vaguely color-coded.
