Posted project update #16Ye Olde Film Looke
Post CommentSpecial thanks to everyone who has contributed to make this project a success - this project reached the 100% mark on Monday afternoon – and are now at about 104%. Thank you everyone! In a few days, you will be contacted for the proper spelling of names for the end credits - and if applicable - the name on the grave markers in the cemetery sequence. Right now I am currently finalizing the color timing of Telly. As previously stated, the film is based on an analog aesthetic in a digital universe. One way to achieve this is by applying a film-look to the assembled piece, which I am doing by using Magic Bullet Looks 2.0 by Red Giant within Final Cut Pro. The following series of frames show a progression from the original frame, with Magic Bullet Looks applied, and then with both Looks (color timing) and related plug-in called Misfire (film scratches, grain, etc.) applied as well.

Posted project update #14Inspiration: "The Coffin Factory"
Post CommentThanks to all for your support - with 10 days left, I am at 79% of my goal. Please continue to tweet and spread the word. In the meantime, here is one of the short films that directly inspired Telly: Czech filmmaker Jan Svankmajer's The Coffin Factory aka Punch And Judy. I caught this as part of an installation at London's Tate Modern in May 2004 and fell in love with the analog hand-crafted look. (Which goes without saying, since the piece is from 1966.) Enjoy!

Posted project update #13Maps, Maps, Maps
Post CommentThanks to everyone for supporting my project – with 12 days left, I am at 75% toward my fundraising goal. Starting with the TripTik maps in Fansom the Lizard, I have maps in most all of my films – often for no particular reason – how could I not have one in Telly?

Posted project update #12Digital Story in an Analog Universe
Post CommentTelly is purposefully set over 40 years ago - as television finally superseded radio, cinema, and literature as a primary entertainment medium. One of the subtexts of the story is this conflict between the future – digital, and past – analog. As is part of the nostalgic aesthetic I have been using since Fansom the Lizard, and before that when filming in Super-8, the production of Telly uses digital tools to create this analog (paper, film, vinyl) universe. (Basically, I'm spending a lot of time and money to make something look as cheap as possible.) One way to strengthen this is via scene transitions - i.e. the needle on the record scratching the film and vice versa. An example:
