Watched it!
ReplyDeleteYou're off to a great start here, John. Bizarre scenario, interesting characters ... and several mysteries are going to keep me watching through the season.
Hell, thanks to the wonders of technology, I even get to watch on our 50" HD whopper-ass thing in the living room. Fun stuff!
Hey John!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the positive feedback! Glad you enjoyed the show!
Man, that's intimidating though, to think that our no-budget Internet production (designed for small screens - small!) is being watched on a 50" HD set. Yikes!
I shudder to think how that Russ Meyer shot of me choking Arlo looks at that resolution. ;-P
ReplyDeleteHi John. I watched the first episode. Nice production, especially considering the budget limitations. A good job of editing too. I once tried to direct my own movie, but the shot-to-shot sequences (the "montage" I believe?) were difficult to visualize. You handled it well, though. Congrats.

Hey Mitchell,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment! Glad you enjoyed the show!!! The editing was certainly a laborious process, and now I go into this kind of fugue state when I do it. I tune out everything else - my wife, my baby, my life...and just gaze at the footage. It's gotten to where I'm actually taken aback whenever I see any of my cast-members in real life, in living color! It's like I can't believe they exist outside the confines of my computer screen!!!
best,
John
Well done, pally...you knocked it out of the park!
ReplyDeleteReally great debut!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if the film look fx are all that necessary, but I'm hooked. Looking forward to watching the story unfold.
