Skate Park, Athens, Ohio

January 1st, 2010 @ 9:59 pm by Mike

This is my attempt at a skate/bike video. Really, it is also about my search for fan videos of The Sound on Youtube, my inability to find ones for certain songs and thus making my own. Problematically, I didn’t have enough footage to actually run to the end of the song… so I’m waiting for the hate mail that I cut the song short. If I get more footage at the skate park though, I’ll cut an entire video for the song.

Unfortunately, I do not have the names of the skater or the bikers, so if any of you see this, or know someone performing in the video, please let me know and I’ll fix the credits.

Gummi Bears

December 20th, 2009 @ 1:40 pm by Mike

Gummi Bears was the result of the same film stock test that produced Fish Tank and The Porch. This test, unlike the two previous ones, introduces Fuji Reala 500D. The other two stocks in the short are Fuji Eterna Vivid 500T and Kodak Vision2 Expression 500T. Again, there is no color correction. To produce all the shorts, we shot 500 feet of film total. Gummi Bears was the last narrative short the tests produced.

Fish Tank

December 16th, 2009 @ 10:33 pm by Mike

Fish Tank was the result of a film stock test.

There are three different stocks used in the short, Kodak Vision2 Expression 500T, Kodak Vision3 250D and Fuji Eterna 400T. Admittedly, the tests really weren’t tests because shooting conditions were never consistent. Nonetheless, for interested parties, I do think some of the qualities of each stock are discernible. I would add that there is no color correction, with the exception of the fish/hotdog close-up. Here I bumped up the whites because the shot was slightly underexposed.

A friend of mine played a major role in a horror film based in Salisbury, The Salisbury Strangler. Make sure to catch the song during the ending credits. Enjoy.

Spinja Warzone

August 16th, 2009 @ 10:57 pm by Mike

BoardGameGeek’s write up on Spinjas has a thread on Games with wind-up toys that lists Spinjas as the highest ranked wind-up game out of 12 games. Even if it weren’t the #1 wind-up game of all time, playing Spinjas is an intense experience. Just thinking about the game makes my stomach ulcer act up and want to eat raw hamburger meat.

Dangers of Honesty

August 12th, 2009 @ 10:59 pm by Mike

Dangers of Honesty is a movie that I was involved with a year or so back. It tells about a young man struggling with drug addiction and coping with the loss of a loved one. The movie was produced and written Jonny Gillis, who also appears in the lead role as well as a couple other movies here on Protozoic. (Take a look at Jugular, written and produced by Andrew Salerno, who was responsible for the cinematography in Dangers of Honesty.) The movie was shot on location in Chestertown, MD (at Thom’s house) and in Harper’s Ferry, WV.
