Scripts to Flicks
Jun 14th
Got a short film script you want to see on the screen? I am officially offering myself to you as a director!
The world of independent filmmaking is interesting. While developing your own ideas, it’s often easy to fall into the trap of not keeping as active as you should. So to stimulate the creative brain that sits between my ears (as well as getting in a bit of practise) I am offering to manage, direct, and bring your short film script to life.
Sounds awesome doesn’t it? Well it is!
As much as we all would love to have our ideas picked More >

Some people make fancy cards for their Engagement Party invitations… We decided to make a movie trailer!
For anyone involved in filmmaking, whether it be amateur, semi-pro or full blown professional, the passion is always there. It invades every part of their lives, whether it be letting your imagination run wild with everyday scenarios, to turning a simple outing to the movies into an intense visual analysis. You learn to live, breathe and occasionally eat film. So when I asked my partner Mel (or girlfriend for those who don’t like the word ‘partner’) of 1.5 years to marry me, More >

Everything is so much cooler when you add lasers, swords, fire, explosions and fast cars!

While I had only dabbled in the software on a couple of previous projects (doing simple green screen shots, etc.) this was probably the first time I actually took a dive into the deep end and began taking full advantage of its abundance of tools. A little late to the More >
Industry standard, does it still exist?

Can't you see the beauty?
I was inspired today to write an article about a phrase you often hear in creative circles: “industry Standard”. Now that open source alternatives have become a more prominent force in the creative arena, is there still a need for such a thing?
When my previous article on open source filmmaking (and the Blender Foundation) made the rounds, I noticed a particular comment posted by an obviously avid Blender user. They said; “Let’s keep the Blender ball rolling and get some market respect.” One phrase in that comment stood out at me: “market respect”.
The saddest part is, when people More >
Open Source Filmmaking – Will It Blend?
Nov 10th
Big Buck Bunny
Some of you may be unfamiliar with the concept of open filmmaking. Well rest assured I was until I discovered this amazing way of producing top-notch animated productions with the power of open-source filmmaking, and a little program called Blender.
Wikipedia defines open source films as the following:
“Open source films (also known as open content films and free content films) are films which are produced and distributed by using free and open source software methodologies. Their sources are freely available and the licenses used meet the demands of the Open Source Initiative (OSI) in terms of freedom “
