Under the hot spring sun

Weezer - Simple Pages

I was taking my usual walk to my local Circle K (the most excellent Circle K in fact) for some mexican coca cola (which is further proof of a benevolent God) and decided to listen to something I hadn’t put on my ipod in a while.

Weezer

Undoubtedly my favorite band back high school their last couple albums hadn’t really been all that amazing and I just hadn’t felt like listening to them in a while. I threw on the green album and began to remember why I loved them. They are releasing another self titled album (a red album I gather) this year and you can hear the single here (via HTFAF)

I did a 72 hour film festival this last weekend and I can safely say this is the last weekend film fest I will do for a very long time. Beyond all the drama that happened in our group (which, in the end, turned out for the best) I just don’t really enjoy the format anymore. We ended up going with a very simple concept and had a lot of fun shooting it, but I still just can get over making a film and knowing that it’s not our best work. You are so limited by the time constraints, that no matter how much effort you put in you’ll never be fully happy with the results. So it looks like my sixth festival will be my last for a while. A friend of mine threw out the idea of doing claymation or some other wacky format and I’d be down with that, but that’s mostly hypothetical at the moment.

Here is our entry for the Fuse 72 hour film festival entitled Pursuit. It, as always, is also available in HD.

My short is coming along nicely, I am currently story boarding what I have so far and at the same time trying to add a subplot. I’m using a neat little program to story board but it’s slow going. I have about 10 shots done, that gets me half way down the first of eighteen pages.

It’s going to hit 100 degrees for the first time this year any day now. I can’t say I’m ready for the summer heat but I am ready to spend my days at the bottom of my pool. :D

Late,
David

  1. Wow, wish we had a little of that heat. It got all the way up to the high 70′s last week but we are back down in the 20′s for a low through the weekend and only in the mid 40′s for a high. Oh well, “Spring” in the Rockies!
    I enjoyed the 72 film. Did you win any awards?

  2. i really miss the dry heat. even out in the middle of the ocean around the equator it’s not breaking 100, but it’s also 90% humidity. We have these vents in our office that make it ‘rain’ because they get so cold that they collect all the humidity in the air and it all falls down. We end up seeting up a bunch of buckets and cups just to catch it all.

    only a few days out of rio… and i need it. sleeping in and drinking on the beach for the win.
