Re: Down in Front: Anniversary Show 2010

Oh, well that I can understand, but this is coming from a guy who has been making movies all through High School, has known this is the industry he wants to go into for years, and is now in Film School preparing to go into this industry professionally.

So I guess I have some catching up to do. tongue

See if you're singing the same song AFTER film school.

Re: Down in Front: Anniversary Show 2010

Yeah, if there's nothing else you gain from film school, being able to cynically dissect movies is what you come away with.

My issue with film schools is that this is what often happens. Down in Front is cheaper. smile

Re: Down in Front: Anniversary Show 2010

It's true - film school will completely ruin your ability to simply watch and enjoy a movie.  And working in the movie industry, doubly so.   

But it does enable you to appreciate them in other ways.   Just as auto mechanics need to know how cars are put together, and that might take away some of the romance of it.  But they probably appreciate automobiles on a different level than those of us who look at a car and just think "ooh, shiny!"

And every once in a while a movie will come along and be so goshdarned good that I'll forget to analyze it and actually just enjoy it like a normal person.   Those movies are rare, but it's great when it happens.

Re: Down in Front: Anniversary Show 2010

Well this is true I suppose. But in all honesty I haven't really felt much of the typical film school vibe that you guys all complain about whenever I mention it. Maybe it's just because I'm still in my first year, and am focusing more on the VFX/3D side of things than others.

Although I do have to say, much like Teague, I just sat down to write a script for our term project a week or so ago and I can honestly say that I haven't been able to write a script with that kind of ease in...ever really. So I thank you guys for that.

Has anyone gone back thru all eps. for easter eggs? I bet there is a special code in there just waiting to be cracked, involving the Vatican, Leonardo DaVinci and Steven Speilberg...

Personally I listen to DiF on it's own; partially because it's good content, but mostly because I'm in PAL land.

I've tried your PAL versions kids, but you buggers talk fast enough even before the audio is sped up to match our frame rate. It's like watching films with angry, cynical chipmunks in my head.

Good work on the show guys, your presentation is getting better and better. Keep up the good work.

Any chance I can lift Ryan's mash-up and play it on our podcast? There is also a popular applications review podcast that has recently expanded to include reviews of podcasts. I would love to share my love for DiF with a larger audience. Including soundbites would showcase the magic of DiF better than I could by my review alone.

Please let me know.

As long as we're on the topic of promoting Down in Front, I know of another podcast review show by the name of The Podcast Podcast. It isn't hard to get on Jason's show. The whole point of The Pod Pod is to introduce people to shows they may not have heard of. The show has three phases. Phase one is the introduction. Phase two is a discussion topic related to the podcast being showcased. Phase 3 is a ten question pop culture quiz related to the podcast.

You can contact Jason on twitter @ThePodPod or @fozziebare

His website is http://www.thepodcastpodcast.com/podpod/

We featured some episodes ago.

By "get on," do you mean we'd be interviewed? Or he'd just pimp the show? Or play clips?

Interviewed. He's based in New York. The show runs for about one hour. He has featured many movie podcasts and is a movie fan himself, mostly of campy horror and really shit films. For instance his favorite is The Room. It took a number of weeks between his contacting us and our interview as he sometimes has a number of podcasters to interview before you.

The Podcast Podcast belongs to the Palavr podcasting syndicate. Many of them listen to each other, so it is pretty decent exposure, especially for a high profile podcast such as yours.

Re: Down in Front: Anniversary Show 2010

I sent in a review of the podcast and in so doing got one of the podcasters to subscribe to the show. That mash-up Ryan made is like the free sample dealers push on the public.

They're playing at Club Sound in Salt Lake City tonight (Nov 22). They're touring with Dommin (awesome gothic metal band with doo wop sensibilities) and Aural Vampire (from Japan). Sorry. They played Anaheim on the 14th. Still, it isn't unknown for bands to cycle back and hit Cali a second time.

Re: Down in Front: Anniversary Show 2010

They rarely play LA, and Anaheim is a bit of a drive.

Sigh.

That is disappointing.

It reminds me of when we missed KMFDM with Angelspit after they got snowed out in Denver.
