wtf? reserved just so i can have a good seat...

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Reserved because Dustin was too much of a poo pooer to give me my own up above. :grin:

EDIT(18 AUG 2008, 4:54PM): Until he decided to make me look like a dumb ass by adding me into Tom's spot. :)

EDIT 2: Then he decided to remove me and tom for some stupid cast list or something. Back to aquare one, it looks like. :angry:

This space is now ALSO reserved for Tom's something...

[Tom Marshall]

Exxxxxcelent........

[Dustin R. Rogan]

so i guess this means we're making a movie...

now all we need is...
script...
actors...
locations...
crew...
poster...
title...
and mandatory ball...

Updates when I feel like it

Penguin look up...


Rogan

[Simon Höfer]

:evil:

[Dustin R. Rogan]

We'll be shooting this between September 22nd and 27th. Using HVX200.


I'm excited about this project...guess I should come up with some sort of script.

Rogan

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Am I writing this? :huh:

[Mattykins]

Best of luck on the entry Rogan. Glad to see you slated up something else.

[Tom Marshall]

Am I writing this? :huh:

Is that a metaphysical question? I'm writing this, therefore I am?

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Thats up to you Penguin, you get it done I'll see what I can do...

Thanks Mattykins! I'm interested to see where this project goes


Rogan

[Mattykins]

Haha, I am in the same boat. Interested to see where my project goes too. Though I do have a script. :)

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Must be nice! If Penguin would get off his tookis then I might have one...


I kid...I kid

Well that's the thing. I didn't know if this was supposed to be the one we discussed or not. Now that I am sure you want me to go through with it, I will. I said I wasn't going to write any more but for you I will make a exception. I am working on one right now (had to put everything on hold for a week or so so I could prepare for school today) but after that I will hop to it, Rogan. :)

yeah it was the one we talked about. I appreciate you writing something for this!

Rogan

[pauly_the_hitman]

Hey guys I guess you can have the Assidental Hitman if you really want it. All you had to do was ask. You didn't have to get all secret code word and all. You have my blessing...J/K of course it would be a dvxuesr first if someone made a parody of a short film that was not even seen yet. Just a thought. Seriously Nick already knows the story. Could be funny.
Pauly

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Well kinda an update...

I thought I'd start writing something.

I'm sure it'll be changed a thousand times.

got 4 pages in the last 3 hours....comedy so far...


That is all for now...I'll update the first page of the thread


Rogan

[Tom Marshall]

Dude... you deleted me... :cry:

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Dude... you deleted me... :cry:

Me too! :angry: But I took care of that by editing my first post. Tom, I got your back!

[Dustin R. Rogan]

1st Draft is complete, sent out to my script crew to bleed on it. I like the story, needs some work, but at least I have something down on paper for the fest.

I'd say this is a comedy with a darker twist.

I'm sure the story will flesh out more as the weeks pass by and my script crew gets back with me.

Need to cast this puppy, and work on a shooting date. As of now I'm sure it'll be between Sept. 22nd - Sept 27th.

Location has been picked out. I'll try to get out and get some pics of the location when I can. been kinda rainy the past 3 days and when it rains, I turn into a bear and sleep forever.

I'll work on a poster/banner at some point today.

Though I don't have a title picked out yet, though I'm sure it'll come to me at some point.

Heres to the fest! Good luck to everyone!

Rogan

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Got a title now

also added poster/banner

2nd draft complete!

more to come later... after bear nap of course!

Rogan

[Marlon Ladd]

Glad to see you makin' progress, man. Good luck with it. I like the name.

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Glad to see you makin' progress, man. Good luck with it. I like the name.

Thank you sir. I am pleased with the script. Its got the funny like everyone likes, and twist at the end. But I brought the funny this time!

Rogan

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Any one in the Waco area who wants to show up, I'm sure we can put you to work. Or just wanna hang out let me know.

Rogan

[ConspiracyPenguin]

I like the posters and title, I can't wait to see what it's about - oh, wait...I have the script in my inbox. :) I am finishing up one script today and I will take a look at yours. I may even have to write up a monologue too, but we will see. I'll get to you. I DID get the second draft, by the way, so that is the one I will read.

Looking good!

[Susanne G.]

Ciao Rogan,

I am glad to see that you decided to enter already. Good luck and best wishes. By the way, I like your new signature-photo!

Susanne

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Thanks Sue!

Rogan

[Mike Insane]

The banner is interesting. Good luck! I love the picture you have for yourself though. The clap board guillotine ! Sweet!

[Dustin R. Rogan]

that was taken in LA when I went to the screening. Mark Johnson put me to work out there.

Rogan

[Dustin R. Rogan]

I guess I could update everyone on the progress (not that there is much to update)

Script is for the most part finalized. I'm sure as usual there will be some tweeking until then.

On a downside, I've not had any responses to my craigslist post, which is weird last time I posted on craigslist I got like 25 in the first day. I'll try again today and see if I get any responses.

That is all for now, I've been working like a dog, thanks to people leaving and having to fill in. On top of that my 2nd job. I've either been working or sleeping the past 4 days.

Anyhoos, off to work...again...

Rogan

[Rodney V. Smith]

hey, am I shooting this? Wow, guess that means I'm going whacko in Waco... woo hoo!

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Rodney...you amaze me...

maybe if I just say people are doing things they'll just come to Waco and do it....hmmm lets see...


JDS, HARRIS, FAT MONSTER, AND MY FELLOW TEXANS COME TO WACO, YOU HAVE TO MAKE MOVIES WITH ROGAN...CUZ I'M TYPING IN CAPS...(IF IT DOESN'T STAY IN CAPS I WAS TYPING IN CAPS)...that is all

Rogan

PS got another location locked down! 2 outta 2!

Script is pretty much finished and never to be touched again...ok maybe once or twice.

PSS. PENGUIN MUST WRITE ME THE UBER AWESOMEST SCRIPT...TOM MUST SCAR HIS PRETTY BOY FACE (JK) AND BOTH MAKE YOUR WAY TO TEXAS....BRING STRAWBERRY MILK!

[Rodney V. Smith]

What can I say? I was sleep deprived yesterday... long day of travelling back from DC. But now I'm back and trying to get my head and plans together.

[Dustin R. Rogan]

I'm proud to welcome Dick Campbell aboard the film!

Thanks Dick

Rogan

Gee, based on your track record. I'm going to say you'll keep touching it.

yeah, thats a low brow master- ba- tory joke. Speakin of jerk jokes, how'd your date go?

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Dustin, am I supposed to be doing anything for you right now? I've been really busy lately and I have a bunch of shi* on my mind, things happening, people, etc. I can't keep track of anything.

[jasonthewho]

Who brought this thread's rating up from one star to two?!

WHO?!?!?!?!

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Dustin, am I supposed to be doing anything for you right now? I've been really busy lately and I have a bunch of shi* on my mind, things happening, people, etc. I can't keep track of anything.

Nah Nick, no worries. Stick to your 2nd Grade math problems I know they'll be taking up most of your time. Good luck with that buddy we got things covered here on the home front!

as for the start Jason...I blame Penguin. What can I say he loves him some Rogan...now whomever the other person is, I don't blame you for loving you some Rogan.

Matt, "date" went fine. More like watch a movie on HDNet and I'd made din din.

I'm very tired, going home today and going straight to sleepy...so if you call I wont answer more than likely b/c I'm turning my phone off!!!

Rogan

[Dick Campbell]

and Rogan's been helping me with casting/auditions :dankk2:(shameless plug for The Gift),

so, looks like we'v got a nice little production group forming in Waco (of all places).

[Dustin R. Rogan]

its about time that Waco was known for something other than what everyone knows it for...

It was a pleasure working with such a professional the past two days, Dick Campbell. While auditioning his movie, we had time to talk it over, and like I said before he's come aboard the wild adventure of making a movie with me and my crew! I hope he stays sane through the process of filming 2 movies in 1 week. On top of that he has offered his HVX as a second camera so our shooting will go much faster!

Needless to say I'm pleased with the project thus far, now if I can get it cast. I'll be posting to Austin/Dallas sites once Dick gets the linkage to me. (hint...hint...) Maybe have a better outcome than my Craigslist ad.

Rogan

PS still need to find time to sleep...

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Nah Nick, no worries. Stick to your 2nd Grade math problems I know they'll be taking up most of your time. Good luck with that buddy we got things covered here on the home front!

Good, sorry man. I have just been racking my brain like crazy over this damn 2+2 crap.

as for the start Jason...I blame Penguin. What can I say he loves him some Rogan...now whomever the other person is, I don't blame you for loving you some Rogan.


I do love me some Rogan...oh, wait...:huh:

[Dustin R. Rogan]

who doesn't love them some Rogan! I know Tim loves him some Rogan!

More up dates later!

Rogan

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Getting great responses of people interested in auditioning for this film, now to set a date up for auditions!

Rogan

[gabrielflorit]

Getting great responses of people interested in auditioning for this film, now to set a date up for auditions!

Rogan

I'm not quite there yet - I did the craigslist thing, but not too many entries. Today I started emailing all the producers I know. Maybe they know film actors. Alaska has a lot of small production companies, but they specialize in Alaska "stuff", outdoor footage, etc. I don't think there's many film actors in town... we'll see...

[Dick Campbell]

Gabriel, there are seveal yahoo film casting groups here in Texas that are very popular. perhaps they have something similar for Alaska, like "Alaska (or Anchorage) Film Casting". good luck.

[gabrielflorit]

I hope there's something like that. I contacted several producers over the weekend - maybe there's a black book with names, something like that would be useful....

[Dustin R. Rogan]

holding auditions this saturday, fot some guys that have actually been stuff I've seen and love , film and tv. even a guy from OKC wants 2 travel down to audition. To say i'm stoked is an understatement. more later

Rogan

[Dustin R. Rogan]

A huge thanks to Dick Campbell for helping organize the auditions for Saturday! He Da Man!

Rogan

[ZazaCast]

Sounds like things are shaping up! Best of luck casting...
I'm looking forward to seeing what this is all about.

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Thanks Zaza! I'm excited about this project.

Rogan

[Tom Marshall]

Yeah man, good luck... :beer:

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Yeah man, good luck... :beer:
Thanks Tommy! Hows things?

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Script is locked!

I'm very pleased with it and hope that you guys enjoy the story!


Rogan

PS once this puppy is cast, I'll put up a poster and a newer banner

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

PS once this puppy is casted, I'll put up a poster and a newer banner
Oh oh.... I expect Alex to show up any minute. :D

[Tom Marshall]

Thanks Tommy! Hows things?

Things are good man... I've got a role lined up for this fest. Should be fun... I'd help you out if I were over there in Waco...

[Dustin R. Rogan]

well...lol soon enough there Tommy boy, soon enough!

Rogan

Ps an update on my films progress. I'm about to leave to go to auditions. I'm stoked my phones been blowing up for guys wanting to come audition for it. LETS ROLL!!!

[Slimothy]

well...lol soon enough there Tommy boy, soon enough!

Rogan

Sweet man!

[Dustin R. Rogan]

cast has been posted on first page

Rogan

[Ted Arabian]

Congrats on casting, Dustin.

I am looking forward to visiting you in Texas!!!

I should be down there around the holidays, I imagine. Maybe sooner. Depends how long it takes me to travel and how many people I visit on the way.

cheers!

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Head shots up, working on a poster now. maybe up next few days or so.

Rogan

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Hey Ted, thanks for stoppin by. I'll send you the link to my time fest film via PM

Rogan

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Looking good Dustin!

[Dustin R. Rogan]

got a banner, in process of tweaking the poster (cough in rodney's direction /cough)

anyhoos...yeah

uber pumped about this project can't wait to get it going!

More Later

Rogan

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Looking good Dustin!

Thanks my flightless friend! I like my rewrite of the ending, works much better than the previous!

Rogan

[pauly_the_hitman]

OK so we should be up at night thinking of just how to pull off this trick of making five films each. I say I will drink lots of power drinks and eat sugar constantly...MuauauaMuauaua. Good luck man.
Pauly

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Added poster, thanks to Rodney Smith for designing it!

Rogan

[Tom Marshall]

What up, D? Diggin the poster, dog... peace...

[Dustin R. Rogan]

What up, D? Diggin the poster, dog... peace...
Thanks Tommy! Things are going great. Hectic but going great! Just working out some things to make it possible to get both films shot while Rodney is in Waco. I know we can get it done. Just amatter of not wearing ourselves out. Which I know will happen.

Rogan

[Tim Joy]

I want to open that box!!!!

I bet somebody will.

Will it be you?

I'm excited.

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Thanks my flightless friend! I like my rewrite of the ending, works much better than the previous!

Rogan

Cool! Sorry I never got that back to you, I have been super busy. But things have calmed down now (on the business side, things are amplified on the personal side) if you want me to take a look.

[Dustin R. Rogan]

I think I'll let you find out when you watch it. MUHAHAHA!

Nothing new to report on this end. Still plowin' away at stuff. Gonna send out the final script to cast. Work on other DVXer's films until its time to shoot my 2.

Got word on an essential prop, hope it pans out, if not then I have a few back up plans.

Alls good in da hood, YO!

Rogan

[ConspiracyPenguin]

I think I'll let you find out when you watch it. MUHAHAHA!

That's cool. I actually enjoy the suspense of watching the films without having read the scripts but I like to offer up my ability to read (something that should be more coveted in today's declining culture) in the event that somebody would like me to exercise it along with my ability to give opinions that I have carefully formulated within my mind.

Now, here is The Penguin Challenge, can you say as little as I say in my posts with as many words as I use? :grin:

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Now, here is The Penguin Challenge, can you say as little as I say in my posts with as many words as I use? :grin:
Well that all depends, my flightless fowl friend. Some critics believe that I'm a "never was" "never be as good as". That is to say, that I am a hack. I don't have any talent at all. Though some would say I'm a genius, and don't know it. Now what does that say about myself? My grammar is poor, and my writing skills are lacking. But once I get what is in my head out on camera, the people sing my praises. Or maybe they love a little male ass or ninjas. Or is it the fact that they feel pity upon me? "Look at this guy, at least he tried to be funny" I am an enigma. I have the personality of a phone book when you meet me in person. I have a deep monotone voice, short (5'8") overweight, and have the typical "Directors Beard". But meet me online, and I'm like an ADD teenager that says whatever comes to mind, even if it does not make sense.

I say all this to say...I am Nothing....

Rogan





























but a badass!!
:kali::Drogar-Sick(DBG):

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Congratulations. You get the prize. Are you picking up on my sarcasm you worthless piece of foul banana!?




DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK. DUSTIN IS AS DUSTIN SAYS, "BADASS." BUT HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH ABOUT HAVING NO PERSONALITY IN PERSON. :grin:

[Dustin R. Rogan]

so much to do...so little time and resources


Rogan

[ConspiracyPenguin]

so much to do...so little time and resources...

Don't make this flightless bird get on a plane to Texas to kick that coveted Rogan ass into gear!

[Dustin R. Rogan]

...that coveted Rogan ass..
HAHA thats great!

Just so much to do if I'm gonna pull off 2 movies in 2 days. And not feel rushed. I know it'll get done. Just sucks seeing it from this end, before its done. I know once its all done with, I'll be much calmer and relaxed.

That is all for now,

Rogan

[John LaBonney]

Dustin:

Nice poster. Good luck on the film!

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Dustin:

Nice poster. Good luck on the film!

Thanks John. Same to you!

Rogan

[Dustin R. Rogan]

only a minor update.

I took a pic with my cell phone of the bar...kinda dark but yeah....

talked with main actor today over the phone. He and I are uber pumped and seem to be on the same page with the project!

Rogan

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Looking forward to it you big teddy bear*, you!








*My apologies if any REAL teddy bears were offended by this association.

[Dustin R. Rogan]

*My apologies if any REAL teddy bears were offended by this association.

:huh:
You're one strange bird. But thanks...I think.

Rogan

[Mattykins]

I think he made a pass at you rogan. That sounded flirty. :grin:

[Dustin R. Rogan]

I know, kinda creeped out about it, like I need to go into the fetal position in a cold shower...

Rogan

[Jeff Anderson]

Just lock the door first... penguins cant be trusted...

[Dustin R. Rogan]

yes cuz they don't have any thumbs to open doors or use a pick to unlock it. Genius man!

Rogan

[Rodney V. Smith]

shoot the penguin.... but do it nicely: he's still useful

[conrad_johnson]

I know, kinda creeped out about it, like I need to go into the fetal position in a cold shower...

Rogan

...cold shower eh? Maybe you liked that comment more than you let on?

:bath:BATHTUBSMILEY!!!!!

[ConspiracyPenguin]

So, I was just talking to Rogan himself on MSN because I didn't know the thread had been updated today (it wasn't orange for some reason) and now I am here and I will use a term I coined during our conversation: PASHWAGGLE! How dare you all insult me like this! I thought we were friends! If I could just...fly...I would...I would...aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh! I don't even have a witty joke for this!

[Mattykins]

It's not an insult. Love is a great thing.

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Everyone loves them some Penguin, sometimes we even eat Penguin.

Rogan

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Rogan

Well, I am going to bed now, but thank God you don't know where I live.

[Tom Marshall]

You're one strange bird.

He's into some freaky shit, that's for sure. And don't even ask what this means... I think he served time for it though...

http://www.armyofmom.com/penguin%20april%20fools.jpg

[Dustin R. Rogan]

that is kinda creepy...but not as creepy as what I came home to last night...
http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~lipoff/friends/artistic/Penguin%20in%20Bed.jpg

[Tom Marshall]

Wow, that ain't right, Penguin... there's a line... you crossed it...

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Hey! I don't appreciate this. I am proud of those things because in each situation I was just trying to show my love. But, you seem to have missed one of my finer moments:

http://www.isarapix.org/pix79/1221696772.jpg

By the way, I actually laughed out loud when I saw those photos. :grin:

[Tom Marshall]

You should have put penguin feet on the kid. :laugh:

[ConspiracyPenguin]

You should have put penguin feet on the kid. :laugh:

That was the original plan but then I got lazy after applying the film grain to a small section to cover up my poorly crafted replacement wall. Where did you find that other picture, Tom? Or did you just have it, waiting for the perfect moment to post it? :)

I know where Dustin got his. He actually has a Penguin stuffed animal, to remind him of me, that he sleeps with each night. It creeps me out a little but I just tell myself he is thinking of some other Penguin that talks...:D

[Tom Marshall]

That was the original plan but then I got lazy after applying the film grain to a small section to cover up my poorly crafted replacement wall. Where did you find that other picture, Tom? Or did you just have it, waiting for the perfect moment to post it? :)

I did a Google search for "bud light penguin" and that's one of the results. I don't know why it came up, but I found it funny so there it is. :)

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Well it was funny. I am just happy that I kind of hijacked this thread! :evil:

[Dustin R. Rogan]

I'll hijack you punk!

I will disguise myself as a penguin and do a super penguin attack on you!

Rogan

On my way, burlap sack in hand. I should be there in about 50 days (providing I don't die along the way) :)

[Dustin R. Rogan]

new banner and poster...

Looks like no Rodney for this fest :(

Rogan

[ConspiracyPenguin]

I'm digging the new sig banner. Sorry Rodney couldn't make it. Does this mean the other project is off?

[Rodney V. Smith]

I'm making it in mid-october. got a full schedule and Waco is on it. the other project WILL happen and it WILL BLOW YOUR MINDS.

'nuff said. natch.

[Dustin R. Rogan]

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!!


This project is being made, it will just not made for Twilight Fest. This will be made then put up in another section of DVXuser. Now this gives me room to add some more to the flick.

God Speed Rodney.

Rogan

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Good news...kind of. Can't wait to see the final product.

[Dustin R. Rogan]

OH this will get made, trust me it will. If i have to drive to Atlanta and drag a certain person back with me


Rogan

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Well this short gets shot on Sunday. Oh so many things running through my head right now.

1) Should I have bought 2 beers instead of one
2) Did I get everything I need
3) How am I going to cram all this in less than a day
4) ......(a dumble weed).....


Anyhoos...Here we come Sunday!

Rogan

[Anthony Pierce]

You should have put penguin feet on the kid. :laugh:

This really made me laugh. Good luck Dustin.

[Dustin R. Rogan]

always a good time when the Penguin is on the scene!

Getting nervous about the shoot. HOpe i'm prep'd enough

Rogan

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Make a list and check it twice.
Sounds silly, works like a charm. :thumbsup:

[ConspiracyPenguin]

always a good time when the Penguin is on the scene!

What WOULD you guys do without me? :D

[Dustin R. Rogan]

I personally would make Rodney dress in a penguin outfit and say stuff like
"Oh hi I'm Penguin, and I like to talk alot. I have such a big ego, that I have to put a quote in my signature that says how great and awesome I am to be around"

Or I'd actually get things done on this movie, instead I'm showing you my smiley boobs on MSN messenger...lol

Rogan

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Well its the eve of Sleep Walk shoot. I am excited to get this film underway! I went to check on the location that the majority of the film takes place. It was everything I wanted and more! I just hope I can sleep tonight! Well better go over my shot list one more time make sure I got everything I want. Woot!

Rogan

Rogan

I don't have a big ego! I just like putting pro-Penguin quotes in my sig that make me feel good. :)

Oh, and good luck on the shoot. Wish I could be there.

...

On second thought...maybe I CAN be there...virtually, of course. You have a new laptop with a web cam and I have a computer with a web cam. Hmmmm....

[Dustin R. Rogan]

interesting thought there penguin...I'll look into it...

I just realized I hadn't done one of the props...so it'll be a long night for this guy. I may not sleep for reals... :D

Anyhoos, I'll be checkin on this thread as well as others throughout the night

Rogan

[Dustin R. Rogan]

added hotel room pic


Rogan

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Sleep Walk is a wrap!

The day started out very very smoothly...lets just say us Wacoans have now been officially kicked out of a place, and we didn't go quietly...I almost got into fisticuffs with the owner and the mantince man. But I settled down and appologized to the mantiance man. But in my defense he looked at me wrong and you don't look at Dustin Rogan the wrong way when he's pissed off.

Ok, so it goes down like this, I have to stop by Wal-Mart to pick up a few extra props, no biggy. Give Gary the card to get the hotel room (of which I'd gotten permission from the lady the night before, she said "I don't care what you do in there, just as long as you pay the $40) So great I told her I'd be back the next day about 3pm'sh. Well my actors showed up about 30mins early, to drop one of their cars off and just ride together (because I was off at another location with the other two actors) They told the maid that we'd be back when we come to shoot the movie. Well apparently she thought we're shooting a porno or something...blabs it to her boss, the mantinance man is calling the cops to see if one of my actors cars had be reported stolen...and the maid told Gary and Matt that The "Big guy in Black" was kidnapped by the little guy (those guys being my main actors...then the owner yells some more...Then the maid starts to drag a prostitute saying "she wanna be in you porno" or something like that. Then I show up and we start unloading getting ready to shoot the majority of the movie in the hotel room. THen I get a guy comes into the room unannounced "Who is in charge of this thing" (when you say that...speak with a redneck accent) I said "I am, whats the matter?" "The owner would like to talk to you, he is very spooked about this situation". I said "ok, I'll go talk to him"
So i go to talk to him, and he said, "We do not want anything to do with this!" I said "excuse me?" "This filming you are doing, you will not do it here, we will give you credit, then you have to get out, now" I said, "hold on hold on man, I came in last night when Linda was here, and she said it'd be perfectly alright for us to shoot, here." (i'd explained to her the story of the movie and she said it'd be fine, just pay the money and we're good to go) "This woman has no authority to say anything about this, I am the boss I say yes or no! Now get out" He printed my credit slip, and I asked him to sign it so I could get his name and proof he'd kicked us out and he was "crediting" us. He yelled at me "I will not do this, this is what we do, we credit with this paper, I am not signing anything" Go now!"

ENTER ANGRY DUSTIN, do same scene over again...but with hellfire coursing through his veins... and referring to the one location of Sleep Walk as a $hit hole to the owner...yes in hine sight prolly not the wisest of choices...but yeah he was a dill weed (insert harsher word) I said screw this guys lets go shoot this one scene, then go eat then go find another hotel...we found one about 10miles outside of waco...that little asian lady was a god send compaired to the devil was just with. And to top it all off I got 2 hours of sleep...I am tired...will hopefully post pics up of when I remembered to take them with my phone tomorrow.

EDIT

only had 4 pics taken with my crappy camera phone...but here ya go

[jasonthewho]

Wow, now that sounds like an adventure. I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad that I wasn't there to witness that.

[Kirk Gillock]

Wait!! So you're using the "crotch-cam" effect too? Oh man! My whole film was relying on that technique!


Not sure what to do now. My whole story is told from the POV of pants.

:)

[Dick Campbell]

So, I'm in the motel room downloading P2 to my laptop, when I find out we've been kicked out, so I say just another five minutes. Well, the squirrel maintenance guy is standing in the door, wanting to know why we're not moving, and I tell him I need just a few more minutes on the computer. He runs over and says "What are you downloading from the TV?" It was too sad to laugh. We joke about the shallow end of the gene pool, but its another thing entirely to wade through it.

Fortunately, Rogan regrouped just fine and we finished the shoot.

[Rodney V. Smith]

Holy shit-balls dudes! You guys are off having adventures of the Wacko Waco kind and I'm spinning my wheels idly. Damn that sure sounded like fun. Sorry I missed it.

[Dustin R. Rogan]

So I pretty much went to sleep after I posted this and woke up at 2pm this afternoon...I was dead tired. We were all tired. And I thank my fearless crew of Dick Campbell, Gary French and Matt Bravo for sticking with me through it all. And they didn't b*tch about going over a couple hours when I said we'd be done by 7or8pm. But we got it done!

And my amazing actors, I thank you (if you're reading) They were cool with everything. Going with the flow of having to change hotel rooms that were many miles apart. They were still smiling after it was all said and done.

All in all I think we got a good short here.

ROgan

PS. Mr. Campbell did an amazing job playing the part of the boss in the short! David Wiseman his assistant, always a pleasure to work with! Great job all around.

PSS now time to get to editing (jason call me when you read this so we can get with Dick who has my footage on his harddrive)

PSSS It was fun Rodney wish you were here to enjoy the lower end of the gene pool with us that is sadly much of Waco lol

[Dustin R. Rogan]

made a few alterations to the poster...and put it back up.

will hit the editing sometime this week and get some grabs. Can't wait to edit with HD woo!

Looking forward to another DR Production.

[Tim Joy]

It's always an adventure.

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Fantastic story. More detailed than the one I got over MSN. Sorry you had to put up with that shit. Oh, and Dick, what in the hell WERE you downloading from the TV? :huh:



Kidding...obviously...

[Dustin R. Rogan]

lol, Looks like I get the footage tomorrow morning from Dick's hard drive then Jason(thewho) hits the editing...then I come in and tell him to do it all over again...

and for those who haven't figured it out... this is a serious piece... my other entry (that isn't an entry anymore) will be the sequel to my polished turd you may refer to as TDRP. Once Rodney gets into town (mid Octoberish) we'll be filming all week. And will bring more laughs and more characters into the mix of my chaotic universe!...anyways this thread isn't for TDRP2 so enough about that...don't wanna give too much away. With that said, I should have a few screen grabs up by the weeks end for Sleep Walk

Thats all for now...now go eat a sam'ich!

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Tonight I went to Jason's house to see the rough cut heres a couple pics. Needless to say I have a better feeling about the outcome of the movie. Of course every director thinks they didn't get enough footage and what not, which I didn't but we made it work.

Now time to get this puppy edited!

[Dustin R. Rogan]

I'd like to officially welcome Justin R. Durban to the list of people involved with making this film come to life. I believe his extraordinary talents will put this film over the top! Thanks Justin!

Justin is a great guy. Met him out in LA at the screening! Can't wait what lvl he brings this film to with his magic.

Rogan

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Film has an edit lock, now sent off the flick to Mr. Durban so he can work his magic and then we're ready for this bad boy to hit a computer screen near you!

Thanks again to all involved!

Rogan

[Simon Höfer]

Congrats Dustin! I'm sure this is some hot sh*t :D

Lets hope less sh*t and more hot is in it. lol

[Shawn Philip Nelson]

Is this a serious one or another spoof?

[Rodney V. Smith]

definitely serious

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Sleep Walk is legit. TDRP II, not so much. I bring the shananigans back in full force! LOL.

Rogan

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Alright just gave this flick a final watch, and I actually got goose bumps. Everyone did a fantastic job. Jason for editing endless nights and putting this story together I owe ya one man! Justin, Oh my god! your score is AMAZING!!! it brought this piece to a completely different level. My actors Thain Odom, Thomas Kelley, Dick Campbell and David Wiseman , thank you for telling my story. My crew Dick, Gary French, Matt Bravo Thank you from the bottom of my heart a film maker couldn't ask for a better crew! And last but not least, thanks to the Randy Khors band for allowing us to use their song in our movie! you can visit the at www.randykhors.com (http://www.randykhors.com/).

I am pleased with this movie and hope you will be too!

...because one of these days...we're actually going to see a film from Penguin! (holding breath now...):):)

It will happen. I wasn't going to say this, but I figure this is as good a place as any to do so: I had planned a surprise entry for TwilightFest, but it never worked out. It was going to be a making of, similar to TDRP in that sense, and it was going to be funny and absurd (kind of like my posts). I was in talks with a very prominent animator on the boards, but in the end I ran out of time.

Maybe next time...

[Simon Höfer]

it was going to be funny and absurd (kind of like my posts).
Your posts are meant to be funny? :D

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Hes only saying that he'd do something simular to TDRP b/c he loves him some Rogan. I'm kinda big to the lil guy. He looks up to me like a big brother. I love you too Pengy but yeah no ones mind is in need of ritalin like mine does... anyhoos

NO, NO, NO! It was MY idea first! (Or, at least, at the same time) I was going to film a TDRP style piece when my TimeFest film failed, but I ran out of time. We BOTH had the idea, you just finished it first. :cry:

Thanks guys! Just keep in mind when you watch mine, it starts off kinda slow, but has a little humor in the beginning. Then about the 2:30 mark it gets interesting. I enjoyed this film and its process. Thanks to Tom Marshall and Nick Lane for letting me use their names in my sorta ohmage (i think thats how you spell it) to them and its not said but the Boss's name is Jack Stanley...some guy I met out in LALA land. Anyhoos, I hope everyone enjoys this flick!

Looking forward to checking this one out guys. Nothing like a couple of macbre chuckles. Best of luck! :beer:

[bosindy]

I really dug your last film and hoped you would stay with the ironic humor you nailed in that. Here, the writing at times reached for wit in a Tarantino -esq way (wouldn't an "Ernheart" risk castration? ouch) but this was obviously more dramatic.

My major criticism would be; If you are going to use a macguffin you need strong actors that can build characters around it a la Pulp Fiction and Ronan to fill that hole. I think the performances hurt this one a bit. I do admire the ambition of it all and there was a lot to admire technically. Congrats on getting a film in the fest.

[stinkpot]

I liked Saul. I know some guys like him.

**SPOILERS**

Pauly was great! So subtle, and the acting in general I thought was very good. The lighting was good, and I liked the effect when they looked in the box.

Overall, a good flow. I followed the story, but not exactly sure about the "why".

I always enjoy your stuff, and this notched it up a few levels. Congrats!

[Dick Campbell]

Dustin, this really came together nicely. I thought the sfx were perfect.

[galbach]

Looking forward to watching this one... Need 50 posts to vote...

[Richard J. Johnson]

THE EARNHARDT!! genius. I really wanted to see WTF was in that box.

[ZazaCast]

Dustin...classic Rogan. Bad jokes and obnoxious characters...LOVE it man! (Earnhart & pirates) Now, that's one scary box...and believe me...I've seen my share of scary boxes This was a really entertaining flick with a good score. Great job.

By the way...next time fix the BB gun thing or don't look down the barrel.

[gabrielflorit]

This was fun! I really enjoyed it.

I liked the bar lighting, although some of it was too bright - the main characters were bright bright bright, compared to the rest of the location. Great acting by the two box-holders, all of their lines were delivered just fine. I didn't like the two other characters, very wooden lines, and they didn't look the part - the younger guy with the strange facial hair looked like he had a grudge with the world, ha.

Love how you didn't show us what's in the box. We don't need to know.

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Thanks for watching guys!

Though I'm not sure who Pauly is...do you think that was Pauly the hitman from the thread? Its not. His name is Thaine Odom from Oklahoma City.

I tried to bring a bit of the Rogan humor in the script glad everyone likes the funny.

Oh, yes I thought it was Pauly the hitman. My bad for not checking. He was great anyway.

If Pauly he'd be a crazy man cuz i believe he already has 5 films he's worked on for this fest...though I wouldn't have turned him down :D

Rogan

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

I have to know... was that a dolly track in the reflection of his glasses at the end? Or a weird crosswalk? :)

Good stuff! I always enjoy the writing in your films. The acting was also quite good. Liked the two gun toting guys. :)

I'm glad that you entered something this fest, I was looking forward to it.
I think I prefer your more comedic side, but it was still good.

Cheers,

hmm I think everyone likes funny Rogan. Hint taken guys. lol... I'll see what I can cook up for next fest.

Thanks everyone for watching!

[Brian Parker]

Nice work Rogan. Like gabrielflorit said, we don't need to know what's in the box. Although, if I wanted to get all deep and philisophical I could say it was either some device or element that put them in an actual trance, or that the box was full of money or dubloons and the trance that you displayed on film was a metaphor for the manifestation of greed.

Anyway, enough of that. Good production values and nice writing. Actors did fine. Really have no problems with your entry. I enjoyed it . Good job!

[pauly_the_hitman]

I am still wondering if in fact it is the Rogan Arse and if the effects of Rogans Arse is in the box and thats what made them do it all? I think you should have named that hitman Pauly cause he looks like my f#$@ing long lost twin brother. Anyway this one made me laugh not sure if it was supposed to but it did.
Pauly

[Susanne G.]

Hi Dustin,

I enjoyed your film, it was very funny, but done in a serious way. I like the face expression of your younger lead character. It seemed so naive to me, exactly how it needed to be for his role. Compliments! :beer:

Susanne

[Susanne G.]

I forgot to say - nice score!

Susanne

[John LaBonney]

Dustin:

Nice work. I was excited to see if he would should at the end or not, it was very suspenseful. I like the camerawork on images of the box. I think the casting is a little weak and it's a complicated script to pull of convincingly.

Nice job.

9:25:22 PM Ben Sliker: i bet this guy has heard of the brown tie
9:25:26 PM Ben Sliker: or the houdini

9:26:04 PM Ben Sliker: don't look in the box man
9:26:06 PM Brad Mate: just call him dp, short for donkey punch you get it? or d to the p, or king donko of punchstania
9:26:25 PM Ben Sliker: Brad Pitt thought he wanted to see what was in the box too
9:26:31 PM Ben Sliker: we all know how that worked out.
9:27:02 PM Ben Sliker: apparently the box makes you use the "strobe" filter in FCP
9:27:18 PM Ben Sliker: OH THEY SET THEM UP
9:27:27 PM Ben Sliker: ITS LIKE A SECRET WEAPON
9:27:31 PM Ben Sliker: TRICKY BASTARDS

9:28:01 PM Ben Sliker: set him up in a hotel room
9:28:09 PM Ben Sliker: and made him think he just killed someone
9:28:16 PM Ben Sliker: but then there's a bomb under his bed
9:28:31 PM Ben Sliker: and then call it "REFILL"
9:28:34 PM Brad Mate: what a lame poo pooing idea
9:28:36 PM Ben Sliker: for no apparent reason.
9:28:44 PM Ben Sliker: yeah, you're right.
9:29:26 PM Ben Sliker: i don't know, that was pretty rough.
9:29:51 PM Ben Sliker: not a big fan of the in-car angles
9:29:57 PM Ben Sliker: or the blow-job jokes
9:31:05 PM Brad Mate: yeah, i get it if you are trying to make the guy really unlikeable...but thats not what it looked like they were trying to do. it was more like filler and was pretty alienating
9:31:49 PM Ben Sliker: i would say more, but you've nailed it.
9:32:17 PM Ben Sliker: like i would care about any of the characters in this
9:32:25 PM Ben Sliker: what were they wanted for?
9:33:06 PM Ben Sliker: hmm, apparently nothing
9:33:08 PM Brad Mate: yeah, i also get vagueries, as we did our fair share in refill, but you have to have enough info so we care about who these people are.

Rogan, I can't say that I was a big fan of this one. And I wanted to like it, cause you're Rogan, and I think you have a great sense of humor. This just didn't connect with me. I can see what you were trying to do with this film. Witty, engaging dialogue, a nice twist ending. I just didn't really care about anything that was going on. I was also conflicted about what the story was about, was it about these people, or was it about the box? I feel unsatisfied about either. I feel like this was a good exercise in direction for you, and in no way should you pigeon hole yourself into making just more TDRP movies, (and for that matter, I won't pigeon hole myself into reviewing this movie based on TDRP) but like I said before, there was a disconnect for us watching it.

Til next time buddy! :beer:

[Dustin R. Rogan]

Well ya win some ya loose some. Thanks everyone for watching and writing something about the flick.

[MrKilloran]

Rogan you have a good sense of humor, the jokes were really funny but the characters themselves need some more development. They're sort of obnoxious and we don't learn much about them and so I'm not sure if I really cared about the circumstances that happen.

An interesting story and the vagueness of the box was a cool idea, leaving it ambiguous I think was a good call, creates a lot of mystery towards what's in it and what it does.

Some good work for sure.

[Ming]

The color was very yellow across all shots and a little washed out on my display for some reason.

The plot seemed fishy. If they wanted the fat guy to kill the skinny guy all along they sure didnt plan well for the contingency of the skinny guy opening the box. Thank god the fat guy woke up for no apparent reason and stopped the skinny guy in time.

Or.. if they were just testing the box on these two guinea pigs the conspirators should have given more exposition at the end. "ie It took longer than I expected for the subjects to peek in, but it worked perfectly."

The smoking shot part made me want to smoke and drink beer. :)

[Rodney V. Smith]

Mr Rogan and now we come to you, so let's play:

The opening shot of the dude on the phone felt a little superfluous. The phone call should have been a little more important, rather than having him flip it close. Maybe even a little more character building, or a lead in to the story... something about the box perhaps?

Handshake was just weird. Good introduction to our leads, and now we know who they are. Slow leadup on the car there. Surprised you guys didn;t get a 2 shot from the backseat. Good introduction to the characters: young asshole and older laid back dude.

Motel" i think we needed a shot of the box in the car or even betteir, a POV shot from the trunk.

I think you needed to build the tension even more here and show more of Saul's irritation. The younger dude's delivery on the joke was too much of a recital. He didn;t feel it and seems like he's trying to come across as a good guy. The perfect actor for this role would have been someone who took delight in his meanness and actually thinks this stuff is funny. A slightly below the surface psychopath.

Loved the shot of Saul waking him up with the gun. Think Saul should have been a little bit meaner there, really ready to blow this kid's head off. Would have helped o build the tension even more and build to the point of inevitability.

Love the bar scene by the way. Having the guy come in to check up on them was a nice touch and makes us wonder what the hell is going on. The kid is irritated but still playing the good guy. He needs to be a right bastard.

What would have helped this transition waould have been to have the bar music carry on over the dolly shot and fade away when the kid steps into frame.

Best bit of acting from the kid is when he's pleading for his life. I really would have liked to have seen a real psycho iin this role.

A little bit more information on the box, its next destination perhaps would have be nice to see at the end. Would have been nice to see it go full circle, from one person to the next, but never back to the boss.

Anyway, those are my thoughts. It was an okay film and I really expected more tension and better actors. with the right lighting and mood and intensity from the actors, this could have been a much better story. A few tweaks to the edit and you can make it so much more visceral...

Thanks for the oldest of all currencies: story.

[Dustin R. Rogan]

thanks for watching every one
Rodney I'm taking back my .37¢ *(jk)

Rogan

[Tom Marshall]

What up, D? I'll try and get to yours tomorrow man.

[Rodney V. Smith]

does this mean you're trading the 37cents for the world's oldest currency?

[Dick Campbell]

having been too close to this, and obviously my acting didn't add any plusses, I thought the final edit was tight and the sfx of the "sleep" very well done. You did make some other good casting decisions however.:thumbup:

[alex whitmer]

Got to be honest, I had a hard time getting past the jokes. I undersatnd it's a character thing, but two full (and bad) jokes in a 6 min film really burned up some time for better story elements. Maybe spread out in a feature or 20 min.

Acting felt unrehearsed.

Not sure why all the fuss over the box. Just go shoot the guys and take it. Too much staging for a payoff that never quite came.

Really liked the mystery of the bok, the glow, and the effects after looking in. That was the strongest point in the film. Nicely done.


aw

[hoz]

didnt really get the story, i guess it was a set up for one to kill the other? but why. this is a much bigger movie cut down into 6 minutes maybe.

really liked the bar shots. good set up too when we see the suit at the bar. acting was okay too, the big man was good. the kid was okay too but his jokes in the motel didnt work all that well, maybe because one joke is enough. small point , no need to repeat Earnhardt, kinda kills the previous joke. my 2 cents...

great use of the box! made me think about pulp fiction a bit.

[Horncastle]

I enjoyed this. I think you almost got the road movie/pulp feeling very well. If you missed it slightly it was maybe in the casting of the younger guy, since the acting of both felt pretty good. The score went very well, too, not too sure where the story was taking us but all in all it seemed to flow pretty well.
