I've been a huge movie buff -- last time I checked, I owned roughly 250 DVDs -- for as long (if not longer) than I've been a computer nerd. My first "movies" were short stop-motion comedies made with my Star Wars™ figures and my parents camcorder. It was tough to do with a consumer VHS camcorder but I had fun. However, with the advent of affordable digital camcorders and Apple's awesome video editing products making it possible for just about anyone to become an amateur film-maker I've finally been able to make some movies that I like. More recently, I've begun studying film production at Southern Illinois University Cinema & Photography Department. I'm new to using actual film but I'm already loving it. Anyway, if you've got some time to waste, check out a few of my movies. Most Recent: People Vs. Rommel: People Vs. Rommel is a little ditty about my cat, People, and my dog, Rommel, and how they're always "fighting." This particular version is a new edit of an older (and longer) movie. I think I like it better than the original, which was probably more than a bit boring in parts unless you are me or my fiance. If anyone is interested in seeing the original edit (~10 minutes long), they can let me know and I will put it up. Cleaner This is my second student film project. It's sort of a documentary about a dry cleaner business - my fiance's Father's dry cleaning business to be exact. I was wanting to show all the various machines and motions in the place that I thought were interesting. I got the film back on Monday before the Wednesday morning when it was due. Despite the fact that it probably could use some more time, I think it's fairly decent (if not occasionally underexposed - but I'm still learning) but it's maybe a little bit long. It drags in a few places and I'm considering making those changes and re-working the beginning as well, but this is the film as it was submitted to my instructor and viewed in class.
