Rock on, Ben. I'm happy to say I'd seen your zombie commercial before moving to PDX. =)
I can understand why. Hope to meet you at a local meet-up event to hear more about what you and 10 Bridges are up to creatively.
Can you put a link on so I can see your zombie commercial?
Thank you! I look forward to watching it.
Great to see you rockin' it in Portland, Gary! - Zack Rouse, Realtor, Actor, Saxophonist
Rock on, Mark! Great to see you on Stage 32. =D
You too Gary! Thanks for connecting! Hope to see you soon.
If you haven't work with Amy yet, you're missing out on an incredibly talented MUA and an über awesome addition to your crew and happiness on-set.
This weekend I directed a piece called Alt+Her that deals with a topic that I never imagined would become a part of my history. Here's the teaser I cut to wet your appetite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8tkXZhmEUk%3F...

Finally put together a Sound Design Reel this spring. Let me know what you think! https://vimeo.com/90381396

Hey there! =D
:) Nice to connect with you here! Have a great weekend!
Hear, hear! It's a weekend of volunteering and World Cup for me. I hope you've got great stuff lined up too.
We do indeed! Enjoy!
My first acting Sizzle Reel... http://youtu.be/iPVJRhqM9YU
Hi there writers. Are you or do you know any writers interested in allowing the use of their work, über short (30 seconds - 1.5 minute) scenes or monologues, to be recorded and posted online?

Expand postHi there writers. Are you or do you know any writers interested in allowing the use of their work, über short (30 seconds - 1.5 minute) scenes or monologues, to be recorded and posted online? The reason for asking is that I'm seeking material that can be used to collaborate with actors, writers, etc. by using the same material a few different times and ways to explore the acting craft and presentation mediums available to us today. Many thanks for any suggestions and/or messages.
While reading Final Cut Pro X: Advanced Editing these two sentences stood out to me as a big ol 'what the truck?' aka o.O moment...

Expand postWhile reading Final Cut Pro X: Advanced Editing these two sentences stood out to me as a big ol 'what the truck?' aka o.O moment... "Make no mistake: It's the editor who chooses how an actor's performance plays in each scene. This is why smart actors befriend the editor on their films." As an actor and editor I can honestly say I do not know any actor who has actively done this. Directors, casting directors, producers, writers - yea. But, editors? Have you experienced this 'befriending' at all? Maybe the author thought no actors, who also edit, would read this book.
Sorry, RIRO applies here, rubbish in, rubbish out, no matter how good you are, it is simply not possible to chrome a turd!!

Expand commentAll I am saying, since the commencement of this thread was that I think it is a bad idea, the editor might sacrifice production value for friendship value, it happens, sometimes the actor might not be up to standard, or the director distracted, or wanting to make the talent look better, at the expense of the production. There is a famous interview with the editor of Jaws, that fought Steven Spielberg about how to edit, and in the end, the editor was right, Steven has admitted this in the interview. The actor is a mere part of the whole, what Robin says is correct, that is the function of editing, to take the very best of all material and craft a production/film, using the skills they have to do this.. What is more to the point, we have turned creative into a business, not a good thing, at what point do you draw the line??

Expand commentInterestingly, one of the actors on a film I worked on turned in such an annoying performance that she became the villain of her only scene, rather than the "social magnet" that she was supposed to be. She was still sort of that person, but it only made the other people in the scene seem kind of pretentious for going along with her. Even the director realized it was the right choice after the fact. Part of the problem sprang from the fact that this actor behaved in a highly unprofessional manner, and I think the other cast members' performances were (at least partially) reactions to her bad behavior. I don't know if being friends with the actors would color your decisions. I know that an actor being an ass will definitely produce negative results, either on the set or in the editing suite.
Great to meet you, Johnnie. Have you been in PDX for long?
HI, Gary. I moved to PDX two years ago, and while I still consider myself based there, I'm near Tacoma right now on a long-term house sitting job until the end of June. How about you? My film will be screening at Clinton Street Theater at 2pm on Sunday, 4/27. Hope to see you there!
Whoa! Contrats. =D On this side of the keyboard I find that March has been an amazingly wonderful welcoming to PDX along with a clearing off of the plate of to-do items that followed me here from NY. It feels as though April is going to be the start of figuring things out again. #excited
Wonderful to meet you, Bob. It looks like you've been pretty busy since 2008. Congrats!
Thanks, Gary.

Expand postI am working with award-winning author Jewel Kats who has made many media appearances in both US and Canada and featured on magazine covers in both countries. Kats' latest book "Snow White's Seven Patches" is the first vitiligo-themed fairy tale in the world for children literature. Previously her award-wining fairy tale "Cinderella's Magical Wheelchair" received rave reviews and good response from readers and contest judges. Both these books are a great potential to be made into short films for children - animated or live action. If anyone was interested in making a special film for special children (having physical disabilities or vitiligo), please feel free to contact me. Thank you!

Thanks for connecting!
That's fantastic. How have you found the film/theater scene since?
I've been filming on quite a few projects here... there is a ton going on. There is a ton of theater as well but I've hardly seen any yet... it's on my list. Sent you an invite on facebook... several local film groups on there posting auditions, screenings, etc.
That's really exciting to hear. A new friend has been sharing some resources she's been using and I'm looking forward to hearing about more. I'll head over to FB sometime today. As you know I'm new to...

Many thanks for considering me, Leni. I generally produce my own work though the larger factor to note is that I am no longer in the NYC area. In fact I'm on the west coast so that would create some challenges for me as I'm finding my footing out here.

Hi Gary, welcome to PDX !
Thanks, Sean. It's quite the wonderful place to be. And what's that out there... Sun?! The forecast lies. =)
