THE MOIRÈ EFFECT - a new short film by Ted Arabian

Now that I am old, fat and respected, I think back on my younger days and how things have changed. I used to have something of a glamorous life with women crawling before me (see below).

However, now I spend most of my time picking up after Tim and driving his many women to and from the Fat Monster studios. Yes, times have changed but I still have my memories:

Hi Wayne.

Are you talking about the photo above? If so, that is posted by Mark Johnson from his glory days! :grin:

If you are talking about my film "The Moiré Effect," it is in pre-production and many elements are still being determined.

I do plan on shooting with my DVX100B unless I can get a DP who wants to bring an HD camera of there choice!
 
Hey, I continue to hear great things about the HV20! I would love to shoot something with one of those and check out the footage.
 
Mark! That robo gates picture is and always will be one of my favorites. It's got a great story behind it too. ENGLIGHTEN US?

Yeah, that is a great picture! When Mark gets back on line from playing around with his paying job, we'll have him post the story!

btw Kyle, I am liking the new sig. and av. man! :thumbsup:
 
Woo Hoo!

I just scored 4, 4-day passes to the New Hampshire Film Festival (okay, stop laughing!), for $105 at a silent auction! Plus I received 4 NHFF T-shirts!

I am pretty psyched. Gonna be cool hanging out for 4 days and watching films!
 
The fest isn't until October (16th-19th) so they films are not announced yet.

The website is http://nhfilmfestival.com/

I logged on and browsed around looking for a deadline date for entries. There wasn't one listed but then I followed a link to WITHOUT A BOX http://www.withoutabox.com/

This site is very cool!

It is a resource site for Independent Filmmakers. Information, distribution, promotion... AND it is an online submission site for hundreds of festivals!!! They have a message board (very much like this) where people discuss film festivals! I checked it out for a few minutes last night. (I felt like I was cheating on dvxuser!!! :grin: )

BUT, I did find out that the NH Film Festival is accepting films until May 5th. There is no way I could shoot anything for that and I don't know if anything I've done would be accepted. I do intend to take a look at my films... I would LOVE to submit something.

Funny... last year I said to myself, I am going to submit something to that festival. I just haven't made a film that has wowed anyone here so I don't feel that I would wow anyone at a film festival.... even if it IS only the New Hampshire Film Festival!

Thanks Jason! I was considering taking a look at that one. I do need to fix the film rate issue that I have with it but I have time to do that.

I am teaching myself Apple's Color right now and may try to do some CC experiments with it. Plus, I have a ton of simulated sex footage that is just beautiful! (and erotic!)

I really wanted to get that additional footage in the final cut but I am torn as I love the opening shot the way it is. I will have to play with this and put it in the user film thread for feedback and such.

Great. Thanks! I appreciate the response.

Woo Hoo!!!!

Well, I have been acquiring some lenses on ebay for my Ed35 and I am very excited by my recent purchases.

I picked up a 28mm f/2, a 85mm f/1.8 and a 135mm 2.5. All Canon FD mounts and in excellent condition and great prices!!! (sure does pay to be patient)

Add the 50mm f/1.4 that I purchased a while ago and I should be all set to shoot with an adapter this go around!!! Granted, it is a static adapter and I may not have incredible bokeh, but this will be a great learning experience and a step in the right direction!

.......

I have mock trials everyday until April 8th but then it is all about TimeFest!!!

:thumbsup: :beer: Cheers!

Great set of lenses Ted (a lot of options ot work with there). We are working on our own lens collection. We have a few ok ones (pillaged from my dad's old 35mm days) but they are nothing to call home about, they will work in a pinch but nothing below 2.8f so ebay might be the way to go.

Besides ebay, keh.com has a ton of lenses and they've got pretty good prices. They basically gobble up used lenses from everywhere and sell em. Might be a good place to check out as well.
