I also think I'm going to start taking this "seriously", so should I build a webpage?

Yeah, make a webpage. But try and stay away from angelfire or whatever? Haha, I dunno.

short # 9: lord of weeping ribcages
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFizA...e=channel_page

An epic tale about scissor fights, raining blood ribcages, skull demons with mouth caves where Satanists are creating singing women. This could easily be stretched out to an hour. But nah.

[atsonicpark]

I'm going to have .com website soon.. It's just basically going to list what I've done, what I'm doing, and how to order my movies. What's a good price for an hour long dvd-r? $10?

[TheFoxBen]

Mh, I would say $10 is a bit much but you decide.

BTW, "Lord of weeping ribcages" is cool

You lost the staring contest at 47 - 48 seconds

And can you explain to me how the sounds explain the story?

Most independant filmmakers sell their films for a good $15-20. I think $10 is a good price, since it covers shipping, packaging, the dvd's themselves, the art, the dot com site, the effort to make the films, then.. you know, in the end, I might get $2 profit to fund the next one I do. I'd like to even eventually pay my actors something too.. and maybe even advertise.

See, that's another thing. After I finish my next film, I'm going to buy a 50 pack of dvd-r's and send my movie to tons of experimental-film-releasing "studios", as well as to zines/reviewers/etc. Maybe even submit it to some little festivals and shit. That is going to cost me lots of money, so it'd be cool to get a little bit of money in order to be able to fund my ability to do that stuff

Still, $10 does seem a bit much, I agree. But if it were, say, $5, I'd be losing money on every one I send out. I'll always have the films posted on the internets for people to see, but some people want the actual disc with the art and stuff.

Well it's not actually a literal "staring contest", since we both blink. We're both staring at something unexplained.

No. I can't explain the sounds and how they tell the story. It's pretty self-explanatory... heheh. I hate to do one of those, "What do YOU think it means?" things but... I have my own personal interpretation.

You've gone all John and Yoko now. This is deeply worrying.

[atsonicpark]

Haha, huh?

I'm just doing experimental little shorts... I'm trying to make 'em all different. That's the point of experimenting!!

[TheFoxBen]

No, he's right, it's totally à la John and Yoko !

He's going to put a picture of himself and his girlfriend naked on the cover of the DVD !

[atsonicpark]

Well, if it helps, I love Two Virgins.

[Satan]

these are awesome, keep it up. seriously.

your girlfriend is really really pretty by the way.

[atsonicpark]

Hah. Well, she probably won't be my girlfriend much longer, but thank you. I've been able to enjoy her beauty for 6 1/2 years now, at least.

Me too, but i thought we talking about your worrying John and Yoko turn.

[atsonicpark]

The next film I do is going to have my girlfriend brushing her teeth and combing her hair. It's going to be cool. I'm going to make her look beautiful. I want the world to see her like I do. All these little shorts I'm doing are going to be in the film, too. The film is going to be about a relationship.

My filmmaking hero, Giuseppe Andrews, sent me a letter Monday. He'd watched can't or won't not and he wrote the most peculiar statement. He wrote "thanks, your thing was wacked. i loved the SOUND EFFECTS." with 'SOUND EFFECTS' being highlighted by a highlight and marked under a thousand times. Found that really touching.

[atsonicpark]

you know how to make a guy feel good.

[Satan]

....you could say that

[barry swedgin]

The music in the films is, overall, awesome. Is it released stuff, or your own 'noises'?

[atsonicpark]

thanks. it's usually just stuff I've made for the video.
