About Me

I'm an Evergreen State College graduate and am starting my own production company Run and Gun Pictures www.runandgunpictures.com . I have finished shooting on my first feature length film Spring 2005 it had a budget of $4,000 and a multi-cultural crew of 20+. I am still editing it (making this a 2 1/2 year project thus far)! I shot a short film "Adventure" a while ago and am wishing to redue it with better cinematography, ect, plus do additional episodes. It was a 1930's big white hunter spoof. I am currently trieing to wrap up a cartoon series called, "Dungeons" for my site. We need Flash animators, we've hired several people who have produced nothing usable. We have story boards and audio tracks for each episode. I am always looking for more actors, gripes, camera men, sound people, or any of the above. Interested? E-mail me [email protected] . My movie Quest for the Golden Rod was a fantasy spoof using a combination of sfx from CGI and claymation to animatronics and greenscreening. We are shot it on a Cannon GL2 production stills were taken with a 2 megapixel vivicam (not bad for $40 with printer). I have my own editing bay (3ghz 1.5 gig ram 850 gig comp. with Preimeir 6.02b, Preimeir Pro 2.0 CGI software AlamDV 2.0 and FX Lab, Sound cleaner Goldwave, chomposite Chromantor and Composite Lab pro, and few other nice peices of software). Our current sound situation is a Short Shotgun mic MKE-300 and 2 wireless lapels. We are recording our audio through the camera and a backup track is also to be recorded via mini-disk recorder.

I've signed up with a pay per click ad program, the idea being if you click on the ad I get money. I think everyone's videos should be on this kind of system.

Movies:

Horror, Sci Fi, Romance, Romantic Comedy, Comedy, Independent Films, Troma Films... I like a mix of films... Evil Dead 1,2 and 3. It's hard for me to narrow this whole thing down so let me just say I hate, art films and feminist experimental films. I like movies that make me think, but not one that to quote the artist, "This has no point, I just thought it would look pretty." I know a few people who make art films for a living and their secret is, "I shoot random shit, I edit it together so it looks cool, I ask what do people think it's about and whatever they say I quote back to the buyers." So yeah, I don't respect those "artists". Sorry if that offends you.
