#changelings

I've been very busy over here. Since losing our cinematographer, completing the visual mood boards / look book has been more imperative than ever so I can communicate what I need to the new one. Thankfully,

JUNE I want to use the era I grew up in - the 90's - as the basis for June's style. I imagine that her father was her hero. A grunge and heavy metal music fanatic. She dresses like him. A skateboarder

Seven months ago I sent my set of Richard Gale cinema lenses off to England for a servicing. Only second generation designs, under the older brand Apogee, had some flaws that caused the focus gears on

Been putting together some mood boards for The Tear. It will consist of well over a dozen pages by the time I’m done but I wanted to share with you a few samples of what has been completed so far. I create

CROWDFUNDING PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS: I'm currently following the program - best practices - set out by IndieGoGo for crowdfunding. It's extremely comprehensive. I plan on also reviewing the @fundition best

Listening to a little Lovecraft for inspiration for #TheTear. I find his use of repetitive language and the “scientist’s” perspective interesting. So far his stories have a detached feeling to them. I

FOR POSTERITY... ...and blockchain proof that I am the originator of all amazing ideas regarding The Tear! :) Tonight, I'm uploading the pages explaining what the Tear is, along with some chronology, and

FOR POSTERITY Here is V1 of The Tear's logline and short synopsis from the pitch packet. More details from the packet will be coming shortly. I'm working on the Director's Statement along with extra characters

We finally had our first production meeting tonight! Finally, after weeks of searching for a producer, working out the two scripts and two different shot lists, we now have a plan of action. Beginning

THE TITLE CHANGE After a lot of thinking and discussions with my new producer, we've decided to change... Changelings to The Tear. Maybe it's a mistake to go changing the title this far into the process,

THE LIST With life coming at me from every direction progress has definitely slowed on Changelings, buuuuuuuut, I have been pressing forward and the shot list is now complete! It's also much more ambitious

CLICK ON IMAGE TO PLAY: The Tear is the first track I heard from Taylor. I drove out to our hometown for the weekend and stopped by his studio - pics next time I promise - and it's probably the loudest

CLICK ON IMAGE TO LISTEN: The Tear Among Us contains the first iteration of what is quickly becoming a theme throughout these sketches for the Changelings score. It's a simple melody that colors the ominous,

Another track for my short film Changelings. Taylor Jordan sketches out here a modern take on what feels like a John Carpenter classic! I love the plucking guitar with the accents of eerie synth. It sounds

FOR POSTERITY As promised - whether you people like or not I suppose - I'm uploading the latest breakdown of Changelings here to the Steem blockchain. Just as a reminder, a breakdown is a catalogue of

FOR POSTERITY Here is each page of draft 7 of Changelings with all my notations. Many of these suggested changes were rejected in the 8th draft. Read if you like. The new draft is much better and a couple

DRAFT 8 IS READY After a lot of slow progress, I was able to make a big push this week to not only finish the 7th, full rewrite of Changelings, but also the 8th. I know this seems like a small move, but

For the aesthetic of Changelings, I originally wanted to use cassette tapes for a sort of diary medium for the characters. I love old technology. I enjoy the tactile nature of it and the aesthetics, their

THE ROAD IS LONG... But as long as you have company, the journey is much easier and more fun. Last Friday, I and my long time writing partner of Milkshake fame were eating tacos at a local Mexican joint.
