9/7

Script is 80% complete, running a little long so I'll probably trim it down, or have an extended cut after the fest is done. It's pretty funny so far, should be entertaining at the least.

Some casting is underway. Shooting dates are Sept. 20 & 21st and possibly one other weekend depending on actor availability.

Title has been changed from "BMM and the Four Holed Button From Hell" to "BMM and the Curse of the Four Holed Button" primarily for comedic reasons.


9/11

Script is complete!! It's clocking in at a very long 14 pages, so the plan right now is to have a fest version and then the uncut directors edition later on. Shooting dates are now October 10, 11, & 12, so we'll be working last minute.

[neosnare]

Reserved for BTS pics & other cool stuff

[Bernie Hipos]

oh nice. cool poster right there...:)

[Matt Sconce]

Haha. This looks entertaining.:beer:

[pauly_the_hitman]

Look forward to this one looks funny.

[Kyle Stebbins]

Ha! Love the clip where he's running down the street.

Great poster design, too.

[neosnare]

Thanks, guys! I'm looking forward to my first DVX fest!

[ZazaCast]

Welcome to the fest! I once had a zipper from hell...but I don't like to talk about that anymore.

Best of luck.

Best of luck.

Haha thanks, all I can say is that sounds painful!!! For some reason I'm recalling the opening scene of "There's Something About Mary"

[Troy Ruff]

Looks like fun, I can't wait to watch the story unfold...

[neosnare]

Updated the front page with a few changes. I also changed the title to "Benjamin Merrymeadows and the Curse of the Four Holed Button". In the context of the film, this should be much funnier. I hope to have some casting announcements soon.

[Simon Höfer]

Welcome to the fest! This really looks like fun :) Love your poster :D

Great grabs! I really like the framing.

Good luck!

[ZazaCast]

Kewl stuff! Your lead is very expressive.

[neosnare]

thanks guys!

haven't had a chance to update for a while, but with the deadline approaching, now's probably a good time.


finished up filming on friday (which would have been done a week ago, but my lead actor had to have his appendix removed so we understandable got delayed a little bit)

yesterday I finished up the majority of the ADR work (everything in the movie is ADR'd except for the first scene) and just have a few more pickup lines to get today, which i'll probably do in about 2 hours.

in the last hour i got the film down from ~7:35 to 6:15 or so.

Now it's time for sound effects and foley! Nothing like pushing things to the deadline!


I'll try and post a few more screencaps up today if I get a chance. I decided to switch to black and white, which is looking pretty good.

[Simon Höfer]

Looking good :) Glad to hear you are getting somewhere! You can do it!

[jojopop]

Love the title -- good luck on getting this one in!! Looks like a lot of fun!

[neosnare]

upload complete! movie clocks in at 6:08 with leader. can't wait to check all the films out!

[neosnare]

alright, in honor of this actually getting done in time here are a few more pics, showcasing it's blackandwhite-ness. some of these pics are from what i submitted (BMM CFHB part 1), and the others are from what will be part 2. The full film is should be roughly 15-16 minutes, so what I turned in for the fest is roughly half of the movie, with a few extra parts cut out.

This definitely looks like alot of fun :) Love the fourth grab :D

Thanks man! That is a fun scene, from part 2 unfortunately, but I'll be posting that up here at some point too

[Tim Joy]

I love long titles,( and yours wouldn't even fit within a filename it seems) and it's a great title too. Your grabs look great and it really has me intrigued.

I do wonder...

Could you (have) submit the 1st half of the film as one entry, and the second half as your other? I don't remember seeing anything about it in the rules.... hmmm

haha thanks! man that is a genius idea! that didn't even cross my mind at all, although i had enough trouble getting part 1 up to a watchable form, doing the whole thing probably would have killed me.

Warning: A DVX GETS THROWN IN THIS VIDEO.

Dude, messed up, your have a creative way of telling a story.

Your the guy who made that 20 minute short online right? I think I watched it on Vimeo or something.

Did you ADR all of this? If so, nice job. How'd you do it?

Was this DVX or HVX? With what Adapter?

I liked it, it was a good laugh.

Thanks!! That's what we were going for!


Your the guy who made that 20 minute short online right? I think I watched it on Vimeo or something.

Hmm, don't think so. I've got some stuff on vimeo, but nothing that long.


Did you ADR all of this? If so, nice job. How'd you do it?

Parts of the first scene were on-set sound, but everything else was ADR. My ADR set up is kinda ghetto, but it seems to work pretty well. I'm just running ProTools out to an Mbox using a condenser mic in my bedroom. I used to run the mic out to another room, but then the actors had no video feed, this way they can see the video which went really smoothly.


Was this DVX or HVX? With what Adapter?
HF100 actually! With the JAG35 Pro adapter and primarily a Nikon 50mm 1.4. It puts out surprisingly good results considering its cost. I've actually spent far more on accessories (adapter, batteries, shoulder mount) than the camera itself.


I liked it, it was a good laugh.

Robbie

Thanks again, man! If we can make people laugh, I consider that a success!!!


P.S. No DVX's were harmed in the making of this film!

[Kyle Stebbins]

This movie is brilliant!!!!!

No joke, guys. This is some of the best comedic timing I've seen in a looong loong time. As for substance and story.... welll.... I'll leave that to the other users here to drill you on -- But I was on the floor laughing my ass off during this entire film.

FANTASTIC use of the curse tone. This is going to become a viral hit with my friends. No doubt about it. I'm off to show them right now, in fact.

Keep em coming. I can't wait for part 2.

[Richard J. Johnson]

this was great. funny as hell. the audio was too perfect for me a lot just felt like ADR. other than that it was hysterical and very well shot!

you are awesome! i'm totally going to steal this for a poster quote or something! haha, thanks, I am super-stoked to hear this. just got back from watching Zack and Miri Make a Porno, with the lead actor when I saw this. He was quite excited too!


FANTASTIC use of the curse tone. This is going to become a viral hit with my friends. No doubt about it. I'm off to show them right now, in fact.

in the DC / full version of the film, we actually take this even further! I showed a rough cut of this to my lead actor when he was in the hospital getting his appendix removed, and he was in so much pain from laughing it sounded like something was going to burst. it was great.


Keep em coming. I can't wait for part 2.


I will! You won't be disappointed. (I hope)

[neosnare]

yep, very much ADR, glad we could make you laugh though. thanks!!!

[darkrequiem1134]

....ummmm...what the hell?

[Tim Joy]

The beginning was awesome. You totally had me hooked. Loved the shots looking up at him, and all the bleeps. LMAO!!!! It did slow down for me after that. The ADR was especially bothersome for me. I've never done ADR, but I'm sure it's really hard to do well. I would rather have noisy tracks than ADR (and I usually do), because so much of the performance is lost.

Lots of great camera work. It gave a nice frantic feeling to it. Love the shots of the button rolling, seems like a difficult shot to do.

Congrats!

[Mike Insane]

Well, opening was funny. I was completely lost but it kept me watching... hoping in between laughing at the jokes that the story would somehow emerge and come full circle ... and have things make sense. Unfortunately it didn't. So, in the end... creative, funny, but not really my cup of tea. I see a lot of potential for you guys to make some genius comedy in the future so keep at it.

[neosnare]

....ummmm...what the hell?
I take this as a compliment! thanks for watching!

Thanks! Loved your film, one of my favorites. Yeah, the ADR is kind of a pain, but believe me, you wouldn't have wanted to hear our tracks from the day. They're so noisy with background sounds and people talking that you can hardly tell what's happening. Glad you appreciated the button shots as well, we had about five times as many shots that were totally useless, it definitely took a while to get.

Thanks, man. Unfortunately our full film is around 15-16 minutes, so even with just showing part 1 we had to cut a lot out. Hopefully the full edit will make a lot more sense. Hope you check it out when we release it!

Thanks again everyone!

HI-LARIOUS! I thought it was weird when you went from censoring the swearing to actually having it in and I'm not sure what the story is but whatever this movie's hard to watch when you're rolling around laughing so much.

[Bryce A]

I kinda got a kick out of how wacky the first few shots were. However, about 10 seconds in I felt it quickly turned into high school/frat houset humor which just isn’t my type. What I did like was how you shot the piece. It was well framed and had decent enough lighting. The voice over had a very anime quality to it… that hollow room tone (bad if that wasn’t what you were going for, good if it was). Anyway, competently made and guiltily funny, but not my cup of tea.

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Yes, the beginning was hilarious! This is also one of the best shot films I thought. The composition was excellent throughout. Too much ADR, but great music!

The story started to lose me as it went on though.

Still, I'm interested in seeing part 2. :)

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

THIS MOVIE IS BANANAS
"B""A""N""A""N""A""S"

I thought the ADR worked for it. Worked with the absurd cartoon feel.

Are any of the cast members the filmmakers?

[Troy Ruff]

I loved this film, I was rolling on the ground on that first scene. It was very corky and odd. When button man smacked the other guy, I lost it again. Great work on cinematography and humor. Great job guys. :)

[Susanne G.]

I like the humor and your lead has a fantastic face expression, but the word f*ck seems to be a little bit overused in your film.

Susanne

[hawaiiirish]

I'm looking forward to viewing your film. Good luck with Twilight Fest. Should be exciting!

[ZazaCast]

Loved this movie (..or maybe it was just late at night and I've watch 49 before this one)! Very different & creative. Good shots and camera movement. Liked the edit too. To me, I think the ADR through the whole film made it THAT much funnier (laughed my ass off). Main character blew me away.

The 'bleeps' in the beginning where just a tad much for me...and i lost count of the F-bombs thrown here...but it worked.

This is one of my favs of the fest!

[Rakesh Jacob]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT WAS A MUTHA FUCKING FUNNY FUCKING GENIUS FUCKING MOVIE!!!!!!!
Props on brilliant use of a HF100!!

[neosnare]

Thanks for watching everyone!

Thanks! This was the first real movie I shot with a 35mm adapter, so I'm glad you could appreciate it!

Glad you like the visuals! Hopefully once you see part 2, the story will be a little more coherent!

Good thing I like bananas!! Thanks, man, I really appreciate it! For this film, it was pretty much me (Matt Stuertz) doing the behind the camera stuff, and I'm not in the film. However, all of the actors in it are filmmakers as well, whether its working with me or on their own. Brian Bear (Benjamin) collaborates with me a lot on coming up with ideas and just figuring out stuff that's funny. The whole button flying off thing was something we came up with while watching TV one night a while back. AJ Meadows (Timmy AKA "sore balls") does a bunch of filmmaking himself. http://www.vimeo.com/anthonymeadows

Pretty much any film that I work on will have Brian in it / helping out in some way, and I hope to work with AJ again soon.


Thanks again everyone!! I'll reply some more in a few hours!

[jojopop]

Crap man, where to even start? A friggin' riot all the way through. Your actors were awesome. Nailed it in every scene. Had my smiling, laughing, shaking my head, and then laughing again. Kick ass.

I love the editing and your camera work in a lot of this. It keeps things at such a frenetic break neck pace the viewer has to work to keep up with it. But oh what fun that is.

The ADR wasn't perfect but still worked for me. Sounded fine on POS speakers.

Excellent job and btw fantastic open!

[neosnare]

Thanks! We realized that swinging your arm like a whip into someone's face ends up being really poo pooing funny!


I like the humor and your lead has a fantastic face expression, but the word f*ck seems to be a little bit overused in your film.
Yeah, he is very expressive! Once the whole movie is done, I may end up making the "poo pooing" edition so the whole family can watch!


I'm looking forward to viewing your film. Good luck with Twilight Fest. Should be exciting!
Hope you enjoy it!!

Glad you loved it! It seems like most people don't like to do ADR, but I actually find it pretty fun - a lot of times we end up with stuff thats way funnier than the real take. (for example: the f*ck the DVX line was added just a few hours before we submitted) Plus the actors always have a good time yelling at my computer screen!

I hope to have some more Benjamin coming your way before the end of the year as well!



HOLY poo pooING shi* THAT WAS A MUTHA poo pooING FUNNY poo pooING GENIUS poo pooING MOVIE!!!!!!!
Props on brilliant use of a HF100!!
Thanks for the great poo pooing review!! The HF100 is a great little camera.

I appreciate the kind words!! All the actors were great to work with, and we had a lot of fun on set. I'm certainly looking forward to doing it again soon! Hope to have part2 ready soon as well!


Also, if any of you were disappointed/confused that we didn't show "Jessica" during Ben's stakeout - we filmed her stuff this weekend, so it will be in for the full cut. Should be pretty funny.

[Mile Bozicevic]

Lol :D

Very good one, though I see it's just the first part? Or I misjudged it?

Benjamin is GREAT actor-at least for this kinda stuff. I found his appearance and style very funny, and the voice also.

The trickiest part here I found is when button escaped-if it only was some normaln object to shoot, but this is BUTTON. I had a picture of you guys getting to shoot, and then the button stopped, or fell into some hole, or anything else. I loved that button scene, looks like you had some real fun during shooting.

Music is ok, when button escapes and Benjamin sees it I think he had button there on a coat, and as for all the other stuff-can we see the 2nd part?

Good job, particulary as there's no a lot of comedy on Twilight fest.

[pauly_the_hitman]

This made me Bleeping laugh my bleeping bleep off. Good job guys.
Pauly

[Danielleus]

Hey Guys,

Just caught the flick. Very fun. I really enjoyed the tone of this. I thought, for me, it was serious at times and very very funny. I thought you did a great job with the actors playing it "straight." They didn't seem over the top or overdone, despite the situations. The beginning left me torn between feeling incredibly sad and wanting to burst of laughing. Nice work.

Production value was top notch. I thought your mix of styles fit the tone of this piece really really well. The snorrie-cam stuff of running, as well as when Benjamin swings his button around is just great.

The story was very odd. In fact, I have no idea what this was about. But you mastered the tone and the comedic elements. And (like the marbles, etc.) the randomness very well. I had a good time watching.

[Dick Campbell]

didn't like the beeping, but it was funny

[jefflebowski]

I thought the actors did well. That was a whacky story.

[stinkpot]

I absolutely love when he throws the DVX!!! Great stuff . I was laughing my a$$ off while watching this. The entertainment value is quite high with your movie. Also, your camera work is really good, the sound worked well, your characters were hilarious, etc.

Keep up the great work... I want to see more!

:beer:

[thetvirus513]

I liked this movie, you got really good expressions from your actors which is great, I did not like how you bleeped out a lot of words, although it did make me laugh. OH NO THE DVX!!!!!!

[Darkline]

Loved the opening to this. 5 of us watched it and it was the biggest laugh of the fest. I'm not sure the ending quite lived up to the promise of the opening, but all in all it was so refreshing to see this in twilightest. Well done and I do hope you continue it!

[hoz]

awesome!!!

laughed my a## off. the acting was top notch. best punch/slap in the fest by far. no idea why he was possessed by this button and didnt give a damn either, this was a lot of fun to watch.

keep filming! you are twisted and i mean this in the best way possible!

[gabrielflorit]

"And yours just went back in... I guess that makes you a bitch!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! What a seriously fun entry. Who wrote this? It was hilarious! I loved it.

One thing though. YOU MISTREATED A DVX! OH THE WRATH OF THE UNIVERSE WILL BE UPON YOU! How dare you. Ugh. It makes me sick.

[Brian Parker]

Wow...really funny entry. The black and white really works for this film and you've got some great shots, angles, depth of field, etc. going. The actors did a great job and really sold it. Quirky, funny, and well made. Not much else to say. Great movie. :beer:

[Geoff_R]

Wow, really good. Funny as heck and I was totally engaged in these characters. Nicely done! Great job! One of my favs!

[Ben Sliker]

Carrying on the tradition from Timefest, the AIM sessions have returned, a live stream of whatever may come out of our heads as we watch your films. Here are Ben Sliker and Brad Mates thoughts on "Benjamin MerryMeadows and the curse of the thing in the place with the guy way back when this title is waaaaay too damn long make it shorter next time please."

As a disclaimer, Brad had a particularly sharp stick up his ass while watching this movie. Ben will try and translate what he says.

12:01:30 PM Ben Sliker: benjamin it is.
12:02:22 PM Ben Sliker: RDY?
12:02:25 PM Brad Mate: lol
12:02:37 PM Brad Mate: yes
12:02:40 PM Ben Sliker: alright
12:02:42 PM Ben Sliker: 3
12:02:43 PM Ben Sliker: 2
12:02:44 PM Ben Sliker: 1
12:02:45 PM Ben Sliker: go
12:03:17 PM Brad Mate: constipation got you down?
12:03:31 PM Ben Sliker: TRY EXLAX!
12:03:44 PM Brad Mate: thank god they beeped these swears out... my virgin ears.
12:04:06 PM Ben Sliker: i like how the score stopped for them tho. really funny.
12:04:21 PM Ben Sliker: haha, waldo just got PWNED by his GF.
12:04:33 PM Brad Mate: poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo
12:04:47 PM Brad Mate: ah ... poo poo ... the DVX censor is going to cover those up ...
12:05:21 PM Ben Sliker: OH NO HE DIDNT
12:05:36 PM Ben Sliker: IF YOU ARE GOING TO THROW IT, MAKE SURE ITS A SONY!
12:06:18 PM Ben Sliker: there's a lot of sexual tension between these guys.
12:06:31 PM Brad Mate: theres a lot of misogyny goign on
12:08:08 PM Brad Mate: yikes
12:08:38 PM Ben Sliker: yes ... the plunger proves it ... these guys want to make love.
12:09:03 PM Brad Mate: these guys just sent the women's lib movement back about 10 years
12:09:07 PM Brad Mate: so....good job
12:09:30 PM Ben Sliker: Marie is speechless.
12:09:48 PM Ben Sliker: "retarded all over the place" is an exact quote.
12:10:06 PM Brad Mate: its funny how there wasnt any women in the short...but it couldnt have been more offensive toward women, that's almost impressive.
12:10:47 PM Ben Sliker: definitely an opportunity for some comedy by inserting a female character
12:11:25 PM Ben Sliker: i think the "creepy" beats were mixed in with the normal beats that they lost their effect.
12:13:59 PM Brad Mate: the writing was absolute(ly not to my style). try and (expand your rhetoric and use a) few more words than f*ck, pussy, and bitch. and then try to (formulate more coherent comedic beats) before you (make the next episode)
12:14:05 PM Ben Sliker: you know what i mean though? the beginning set this film up to be so ridiculous that the really creepy stuff, (eg, the camera spying, the plunger to the nuts) was just kind of expected.
12:14:58 PM Brad Mate: i dont know what this film was supposed to be. it was trying to be creepy while doing slapstick
12:15:12 PM Ben Sliker: so, i guess the response to that would be "i guess it's just not your kind of comedy"
12:17:02 PM Brad Mate: im sure (a demographic) would find this funny. but they were obviously trying to be more than just fart-and-dick joke kind of funny.
12:18:28 PM Brad Mate: im sorry im not being funny or helpful.
12:19:22 PM Ben Sliker: yeah ... you suck.
12:22:04 PM Ben Sliker: it's going to be a challenge for me to edit that down into something constructive.
12:22:19 PM Brad Mate: lol sorry
12:22:49 PM Brad Mate: hope you don'r go through too much trouble...
12:23:00 PM Brad Mate: *don'5
12:23:01 PM Brad Mate: jasdfhasg

12:23:02 PM Brad Mate: ahjgp
12:23:05 PM Brad Mate: FAIL
12:24:11 PM Ben Sliker: epic typing fail indeed.

Guys, I don't think we were ready for this one when we watched it. There's times when this kind of comedy has me rolling on the floor, and other times when it feels like there's a cheese grater on my face. I have to say that the intro was quite hilarious, no matter what mood I'm in, but we were a little confused between the slapstick comedy beats and the creepy stalker beats, they didn't seem to mesh well at times, or to clarify, they didn't have synergy, although funny by themselves, didn't make the rest of the piece funnier as a whole. But that's just my .02. This was a completely off the wall comedy, cheers. :beer:
