Our scheduled footage for the music video contest was not shot during the week because people have crazy lives, and we couldn’t get it done.. so our plan has changed to get our shots done by the end of this week instead. We also have to re-shoot the mantel scene, because it would take too long for Pat to put the moving pictures in the shot. We are planning to take screen shots of the other soon-to-be shot scenes, print them off, and place them in the picture frames.

Evan and I started filming our music video! Good news: the lighting was beautiful and we got some good shots. Bad news: we’re going to have to re-film the mantle scene with actual pictures in the frames. We figured we could just put the pictures in afterwards with all our nifty special effects. However we forgot to take into account that our video involves panning and zooming- not just still frames. Rather than painstakingly tracking 7 different pictures, we will film everything else first, grab some nice still frames, and print them out to actually put in the frames. This will be much easier in the long run, and will probably look better. Yup, we’re smart. 

Hey guys, Fishfactor Flex here with another movie breakdown. So I recently went to the theaters and saw a movie called Shutter Island. Now this is not a kiddie movie, it’s rated “R” for a reason. It’s spooky, clever, and all around just fantastic. It’s about a detective named Teddy played by Leonardo Dicaprio. Teddy and his partner go to Shutter Island, an island home to an insane asylum. They are supposed to find out what happened to a patient, where she went and how she did it. Problem is, as Teddy finds out more and more about the island, his own dark past begins to creep up on him. Things start to go crazy, he imagines people who aren’t there and has trouble trusting his own partner. But the best thing about this movie is without a doubt the ending. It will keep you guessing and guessing until your so sick of it that you’ll just have to accept what you saw. Believe me when I saw this guys, but it was that good. If you are going to the movie in the next few weeks and a re over 17 I would definitely go check it out. I’d give it  solid 4.5 out of 5. Another great one from the director of The Departed.
