This is my old website, from back when I was trying to run an internet comic. I've also got some lame videos and such. You should know that "Pain" is the only flash video done by me.
I'm trying to gain access to geocities again, but it's been 3 years since I've logged in, and I don't remember the password. Once I get in, I can get rid of all the stuff that never really belonged. This was originally a school assignment that required having so much content.
So it seems Youtube has changed their user agreement in a way that would let them sell my content as their own, and we would recieve absolutely nothing for any of our work.
As much as I'd like to continue posting from Youtube, I can't. I'm just not willing to sacrifice my films to them in such a way. So, the upcoming show form SonicRift/Wednesday is going to have to find a new form of distribution.
I considered using Google Video, but if we attain the kind of popularity we're aiming for, Mr. Eric Bauman can just download our content and cover the bottom quarter of the frame with his own website tag.
I've signed up with Revver, but I don't want to have a PayPal account to feed revenue into. PayPal is just not trustworthy, from what I've been reading almost daily on Digg, and I don't want to risk depending on them till they discover that I have different political or social views than their management, and they shut my account and seize my cash. Not my idea of a party... So we'll see what happens. We always assumed the money would come from merch anyways. It's just a matter of attaining celebrity I guess.
Not sure what the quality on this is gonna be like...
I'm not especially proud of this project. This was my big final assignment for my first year at Humber Film. Alot of blood and tears went into making this.
I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into I guess. I though I was responsible for doing everything, and that those were the guidlines for he assignment, but I guess I could have gotten a designated DOP to handle lighting etc.
If I'd brought a few more extension cords, the indoor stuff would have looked much more vibrant, as I had intended. I couldn't quite see through the Cannon XL-1's viewfinder, and didn't know I could zoom in to focus at the time, so that accounts for the soft focus (or for you non film types, that's why that shit is blurry).
Justin was great, but I wish I had more extras there.
After my hard drives crashed, Justin asked for a copy of this for his website. I ended up playing it through my iMac's video out to my camera, then capturing it again.
Mac users may recognize the Adium croak in the opening credits.
