THE NO-BUDGET DIARY 07: IMDB

I won’t reveal the secrets of how I came to get listed on imdb. All I can do is give advice. And that advice is make your own darn movies. If you want to be a film maker, start making films. After you’ve made one you are now a filmmaker. Now make another. I think it was Robert Rodriguez who said something to that effect in his book “Rebel Without a Crew.… Continue

THE NO-BUDGET DIARY 04 : I FIGHT PIRANHAS

We wrapped principal photography in one day. Two location changes. Five female actors and 6 male actors filled out the cast for the three scenes. Shot with only three crew members and at a cost of $22.00. Producer, writer, director and DP, it’s hard to write this blog from one point of view. I mean I started writing I Fight Piranhas on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2008. S… Continue

“The aged rocker rolls his eyes around the room wondering where the kid reporter’s seated. Blogger? Is that what he called himself. I guess someone has to fill the void of the newspaper men and women around the city who now drink their selves closer to misery. Closer to my elbows at the bar. Where is this Cyrus Spill?”… Continue

SOUTH SHORE @ THE CINEMA: REVIEW FOR "THE LOT"

SOUTH SHORE @ THE CINEMA: REVIEW FOR "THE LOT" Luke Veinot

It's not often that you get to see a TV pilot before it airs. Most of the time we see what's been filtered and doled out to target demographics and genres, as putting money into a program is costly and no one wants to make mistakes. Freed from conventional production methods the indie troupe known as Harshknuckle gives us "The Lo… Continue

SOUTH SHORE @ THE CINEMA: 2009 Week 8

SOUTH SHORE @ THE CINEMA: 2009 Week 8 By Luke Veinot Sorry, busy week for me. I've got nothing. Wait, I caught a few Scorsese movies. If you're a fan of Scorsese you should check out one of his earlier films. Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore is fantastic. It's a story about a single mother who drags her teenage son around the States in order to find a town worth living in where she can find a boyfriend who won't beat her or her child. Friday the 13th remake dropped out of the box office top 5.… Continue

SOUTH SHORE @ THE CINEMA: 2009 Week 7

SOUTH SHORE @ THE CINEMA: 2009 Week 7 By Luke Veinot Sorry, busy week for me. I've got nothing. Wait, I caught Coraline and Friday the 13th last week. Both were let downs. I'd have to give them both rentals. Any way Week 7 winner at the box office was Friday the 13th. I was apart of the crowd that dug into this remake. This gives Warner Bros. back to back number 1's with two different films. Next week’s new entries: Madea Goes to Jail This week’s winner should be Madea Goes to Jail… Continue

Stop Motion isn't easy

Here's my attempt from a few years ago. I spent a lot of hours locked away in my room at home. I didn't get far as it took so long to build the puppets and sets.

Really Random Notes for the 2009 NBA All-Star Game

Really Random Notes from the all-star game. Bosh is sitting beside Dwight Howard on the bench. They're talking the entire time about what's going on. They're tight. Iverson's a dick. Kobe almost set a record in the 1st quart for most FG attempts in 1 quarter. West just went on a 19-0 run. Shaq no look full court pass to Tony Parker. West up by 7 after the 1st Quarter. 2 dull minutes into the 2nd and West is up by 11. Pierce is playing PF because the east has a small lineup. This is a res… Continue

My favorite 100 films of all time

I've been working on this list for 5 years now. Here's my latest update. I update it after I've rewatched everything on this list. That takes about 14 months. I add and subject movies all the time. I spend a lot of time debating in my head and rack my brain as hard as I can. Sometimes I go back and forth on a film for awhile but this is a list I'm happy with right now. Only 25% or so are from this current decade so I have a good mix of movies over the last 60 years or so. 100 A.I. (2001) 99 TO… Continue

Digital photography Comic Book Test

testing testing........ So I'm no artist. At least not in the way of drawing. I contacted two artists and they blew my ideas off. The a new idea came to me. I searched google and couldn't find any examples of digital photography used to illustrate a comic book. I took one of my short films and grabbed about 65 frames from it to edit together in a comic book format.Now I know a few draw backs already. The color is important. I snapped 30 pictures over the weekend and nothing looked good. I coul… Continue

SOUTH SHORE @ THE CINEMA: 2009 Week 4

SOUTH SHORE @ THE CINEMA: 2009 Week 4 By Luke Veinot This week on Spill Astro Boy was cancelled cause the production company is broke. Green Hornet was cancelled in a-round-about way because of Stephen Chow leaving the project last month. Boo to both. Since then the dirt-poor company has let everyone know that they’ll get back to work as soon as they get some capital. Guess we’ll be seeing some cheap Astro Boy DVD reprints. And Green Hornet? Well, darn. For those who don’t know about this vers… Continue
