I find that i generally work better with more instrumental type stuff, than standard tunes.   big fan of Thievery Corporation, Four Tet, Battles (if i'm looking for more frenetic stuff), Eno's soundscape music for more mellow stuff (Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks / or music for films), Medeski, Martin and Wood is a great jazz(ish) 3 piece, or maybe Whitest Boy Alive.

But then every now and then I'll work to Zappa...but that can be somewhat all consuming, so do that at your own risk.

cool, i was hoping Premiere would be an answer.  I use the Adobe Suite daily at work, so i'm already fairly familiar with the interface. 

stoked to finally be able to put video to some of my music....plus, anything that might get me out of "proposal monkey" role at work can't be a bad thing.

Thanks

I get dropped off at the Transbay Terminal (or Embarcadero Bart stop), but my office is right below Coit Tower...basically right by Pier 39 and all the tourists.  it's a bit of a hike.

Great ep.. loved hearing about the how and why everyone found DIF. 

Also, i was really confused about why people up thread loved to quote David Lee Roth.  but now i know better....might as well jump.

So i was thinking about this over the weekend and was trying to figure out a way to just embrace the whole remake culture.  instead of rebooting/remaking a film, would there be anyway to create a story that utilizes the concept of a remake?  Dr. Who does this to some extent...Bond also, in a way.   

I haven't exactly figured out it'd work, but it seems like there could be a way to plan on the remake from the get go and use it for good...instead of meh.

(and yes, this is not a fully fleshed out thought....so call it a vomit post)

Alright... here's a link to some of my stuff:

for reference -
Outsiders is comprised of Twilight Zone samples (from an episode of that very name)
Acid has Richard Pryor and Simpsons stuff, who doesn't like that?
Shuffle and ....and i'm working cheap are both more experimental projects using samples

enjoy

and happy friday!

Editing (the good, the bad....yadda yadda..the facts of editing).
Film scores - what works, what doesn't
Stoked (the life and times of Trey)
A Spontaneous Movie Pitch
Why Books>Movies are so fucking difficult to do right
A Day on the Set (logistics, random stories, best craft service table..etc)
TV vs. Movies (constraints, benefits, budgets...)
Do offscreen actions play a role in  how you view actors/directors previous work  (like Mel Gibson and looking back on the Lethal Weapon series)
Dorkman Fixes it (terrible ideas/movies - he has 30 minutes to make it watchable)

sure... i'm send you a link.. i don't want to spam everyone with my stuff.

Teague - that little ditty is fanfrickintastic. 

nice work!

So for some inexplicable reason i watched this movie... it took about 4 days to get through this...thing.

it's by far the longest 1:30 movie i've ever seen.. i kept checking how much time had passed, and only 5-7 minutes had gone by each time.   

it's insane how many things are wrong with it... hell, i'm not even a filmmaker, but my god.  first, it's all shoe leather.  i imagine it's essentially a 42 minute movie, once you take away the long scenes of people walking and the terrible excess bits on nearly ever scene (i realize you generally film a little extra so you can edit as needed, but i think someone forgot to actually edit those parts out).  and that's not even talking about the sound...it just drops out at times.

and then the camera work...wow.  there are times where the camera can't even follow a car.  the car will drop from view as it's driving by.   also, i'm pretty sure the cameraman trips at least twice.

i'm not sure why i watched it, nor why i watched it to completion.. i guess i was hoping for some unique "bad movie" entertainment, or something... but it's..just boring.   in a way, it's almost a perfect bad movie.  i'm tempted to make the argument that every single scene has at least one thing wrong with it. 

like i said, i'm not a filmmaker and have never really tried, so good for him for making a thing...

remember it's puff, puff, pass...
