TRAINING WAY

Did the 48 Hour Film Project this past weekend with fellow Martin Agency crew. We concepted, wrote, shot, edited, and finished a short film (6 minutes in length) in the course of 48 hours. We probably could've done it in 46 hours, maybe quicker, thanks to the wonderful RED One camera. This thing is a danger to celluloid far and wide. It produces film quality images at a resolution that no TV can handle (4k). We cut the resolution in half just to edit and ultimately finished in SD per the specs of the film project. Which is a shame because it looks incredible in HD. The RED is changing the game...can't wait for the Scarlet to come out in '09.

Also, saw Dark Knight last, um, night. Dressed up as the Penguin then had a terrible realization about half way through. Stood up, yelled, "This is bullshit!" and stormed out of the theater. Got to see the Watchmen trailer beforehand though. My Mr. Manhattan costume is going to be balls out awesomeness.
