A New Video! Shopping Market Smackdown!

stephen — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 08:17:47 +0000

Yes! After a winter of discontent and silence MovieGuild.org is back! — not saying we’ll be here long, but we recently had a blast filming Shopping Market Smackdown. It was unplanned, we were shopping for food, and inspiration struck. We finished shopping, chose Isle 18 (canned goods) and in a matter of roughly 15 minutes we had the principle photography done (fancy way of saying filmed it).

Yes oh yes, enjoy the splender of our labors now in Shopping Market Smackdown.

It Smells Like Deadtown In Here

Its a little slow around here lately. Not much has been happening in the guild. Sorry. My computer’s video editing ability kinda took a dive so thats why the latest video hasn’t been edited/posted. Just kinda throwin this out here so we all know we aren’t dead, just hibernating a little bit.

We Ain’t Dead!

stephen — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 01:46:17 +0000

Hey, just wanted to pop in and say hi. We haven’t been totally dead, yes a little less active, but we have still met a few times that we have failed to document.

I’m going to go ahead and point the blame finger at everyone else, simply because its easier. (*whisper* you guys have log-in accounts, use them. )

Anyway, there was an impromptu video that was filmed on the spot a few nights back. If my computer would stop crashing i’d edit that and get it up. We’ll see.

MovieGuild.org Movie: Boat Race

stephen — Sun, 25 May 2008 23:34:10 +0000

Hey everyone, so its here, Boat Race.

Boat Race is the result of MovieGuild.org. Our objective is to create movies for the purpose of developing our film making skills. Obviously we have lots of room to grow.

This film was conceived and shot on the same day, surprisingly, it took us 8 hours (i think).

Credits
Guy In Blanket: Richie Miles
Jeremiah: Stephen Moon
Director: Mat Black
Cinematographer: Jennifer Pan
Crew: Jacob Black and Victoria Black
Soundtrack: The Stranglers – Golden Brown

Movie Guild Meetup #13: Iron Man

stephen — Thu, 08 May 2008 15:03:44 +0000

Hey everyone, so as you know we are planning on watching Iron Man this Saturday. The plan is not set in stone until we hear back from Mat (who is going to talk to Michael about the brake’s thing Richie is involved in this Saturday).

Tentavily we will be watching Iron Man at 1:50pm at Cinemark Mesa 16
DLP showtimes: 1:50
Other Showtimes: 11:30am, 1:05

Why 1:50? Because DLP is sexy. If it doesn’t work we can go to any of those other times listed.

UPDATE: Alright everyone, meet up at my house at 12:00pm Saturday! Be there or I’ll slit your babies throat! (as for those of you who don’t have babies, i’ll wait until you do, then slit their throats!)

Update: Yeay everyone showed up, i dont have to kill any babies (i was not looking forward to that).

Here is the pic from the meet. Others were taken, but Jen will have to get those over to me before I can post them.

Editing – Boat Race

stephen — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 19:59:04 +0000

Hey everyone!

Get ready for this weekend. We’ll be editing Boat Race (remember? The film we shot two weeks ago). It is tentatively planned for Sunday the 3rd of May.

I’ll be sure to txt everyone once we have a solid time.

Movie Guild Meetup #12

stephen — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 04:01:40 +0000

Today we watched Machined Reborn. A follow-up to last weeks Machined.

There were some pictures taken, but I’m not able to get those right now…

I’ll get those later.

Movie Guild Meetup #11

stephen — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:28:49 +0000

Movie Guild Meetup #11 rocked, of course. We have Mat Black back from his little fling in Tennessee. He is damaged goods, but recovering steadily.

Also this is the first meetup with the new Movieguild member Jennifer Pan. She was on set rockin the hardcore equipment. We had a slate! Okay, I’ll give you a moment to let that settle in…

*a period of time passes*

Yeah, so we had a slate.

We watched Machined, a low budget horror film. It was not a good movie, but we watched it for a purpose. The purpose being next weeks movie, Machined Reborn (I’d link you to the movie, but its not out yet. And i cant find the website for it). I don’t think everyone understands what I’m trying to do, but I wanted to see the contrasting difference between someones first effort (Machined) and one of their later films (Machined Reborn). I think we will all be pleasantly surprised with the quality differences.

After the movie, we then sat around and tried to write miniature stories to film. It was a lot harder than I’d anticipated. Luckily Mat had this one covered. He wrote up a short series of events, and we used that as our groundwork for the days shoot.

I wont spoil it by saying what happens, but it will most likely confuse you.

I think we all learned the importance of a good catering service on set. Unfortunately we don’t have a budget or anything, so we cant actually provide food for ourselves.

The editing wont happen for a while, thats just how the schedule worked out. Busy week for everyone, or at least, a few of us.

You guys think of anything else we should do differently next time? (comment)

Balls, somehow i screwed up movieguild.org again!

stephen — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:38:52 +0000

Sorry, i was doing some upgrades to the site and one of them hosed the site… wtf?

Looks like its theme related. Somehow this theme we’ve been using is not compatible with … a plugin i’m using? It doesn’t make any sense, because i deactivated all the plugins, and it still didn’t fix the issue.

I’m a little confused.

*Update: Fixed it, new theme. Oddly enough i like this new theme alot more…

RE: REBOOT

mat — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:03:54 +0000

I understand that everyone has different schedules and making time for all of us to get together is difficult but I worry that this task will become harder to accomplish if we don’t have a fixed day. If we are going to do the whenever we can thing I don’t think it would necessarily be bad if we could incorporate organization into it. That being said I think we should pick a day at the start of the week that has the best possibility of being congruent with everyones schedule or stay with the current theme. This is a democracy so your vote counts.

*edited by stephen: Sorry Mat, in my brilliance i managed to delete your “VOTE” post and now i’m left here with no comments (you and jen commented) so yeah, go ahead and VOTE again, but do it in the comments of this post. Again, sorry.
