Back to being us again...

Dear listeners.

Aaron and myself have made it through the wretched blazing depths of the deepest volcano. Through ice and fire, tears and much consumed alcohol... We are finished. We have completed a 2 month long writing/prepping/building/acting/lighting/directing/shooting/editing/promoting, Process.

I speak of the damned Scene Card Commercial Contest for Cineplex Theaters. I wish I could tell you every single moment of Aaron and myself paying attention to the finest of details of this whole project. But that would be a works of a novelist. I wish I can tell you how bad I personally felt when I "spammed" the facebook world with our version of the cineplex commercial. But that would be a works of a Liar.

I'm more or less lost for words. I don't know what to say. perhaps?

Kaboom boom Shakalaka?

Yes, indeed.

It frustrates me to see all these other commercials doing so much better than ours. When ours looked better, acted better, and were edited better.

We did two amazing commercials (both finalized in the top 10 out of like 200) I did a cop scene sketch. And Aaron made a absolutely brilliant 1950's sitcom parody starring myself Aaron and the beautiful Holly Hunter.

Well I don't know folks, thats on my mind. just a couple more things, Kate also did a fabulous job acting, and Stuart Gummer, as always, gives 110% by far the most determined great spirited persons I've know. I think it's safe to say that he is officially in FOTF.

Lastly thank you everyone who voted and voted and vote. I owe you all a round of brews and wine!

Cheers,
now back to just makin' skits

Props to props

I don't think Aaron or myself (Bryan) really have much interest in Set Design. But the last week we've been building these giant props for a commercial we're doing for the Cineplex Scene Cards and it's been a lot of fun. So Aaron and I are hacking away at that.

I've learned a lot about paint though. I've never painted before and now you'd think I'm a pro at it!

Now I need to use my high school math again to measure different stuff. I promised myself I wouldn't use math ever again after I failed it on 2 occasions in High School... *Shutters* But using my brain in a different way is exciting for me.

So we're going to shoot this next week hopefully!

HOWEVER... we don't have a good camera, my Final Cut Pro (editing program) doesn't work on my Mac. Aaron's Mac DOES have a working version of FCP... BUT it doesn't have a Fire Wire port to connect the camera to... (thus making it impossible to put the video on the computer, thus meaning we can't edit it)... How are we going to edit this?!

That's on my mind right now...

Yours,

-Bry
