So as a fun little followup, here's a breakdown of revenue and where it's come from. The crazy part to all of this is that originally, I was planning to get on Amazon by myself. Had that actually happened, the film would have made ~$500. Getting hooked up with Indie Rights was the best thing...

Hopefully someone will step up and do that. I would imagine they could use something like Antigravity to get it going without knowing anything about coding.

Have made a few small updates. CineSched now has a custom strip that is red in color and doesn't require eighths or an estimated time. It's useful for Company Moves or making important notes to the schedule. CineSpend now supports ten different currencies which you can select from when you...

I used to be the biggest Vegas fanboy. Cut three features on it and would talk about it to anyone who would listen. It's crazy how far it's come! The last version I used was 11 or 12, but I think 9 was the last version I used religiously. The VFX stuff it has now is especially interesting...

I personally can't stand when people use their own name. Too much ego. I named my company "Pyro Studios" because I love fire, I think it's beautiful, and I want my work to reflect that. For job title on my business cards, I went with "Creative Director", even though it's just me for now.

Oh awesome! Hope it was the new videos I made yesterday. Lots of new features! As for maintaining, sort of? I made them for myself, so as I encounter bugs or want features, I'll add them and release updates. I might attempt a Windows port myself, if I have a collaborator that needs it, or...

We got call sheets built-in now!

As a gift to the film community, I'm releasing my two apps, "CineSched" and "CineSpend", as free and open source. I've made the actual apps themselves available before and posted about them, but I decided to release the source code in case someone else wanted to add features and create ports for...

Made another update yesterday that allows me to import a .fdx file! I'm still testing it before I decide to release that version, but so far it's great! I'm also working on an update to CineSpend that will allow for calculation of costs based on how much and how many days are needed.

Here's a download link to the apps. Mac only. Built for Tahoe, should work on Sequoia. Not signed, you will have to do that with the Terminal the first time you run them. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B9QIOruxgv_TYZICpOJD_o0hPzhdEPGk/view?usp=sharing

Overview of this app, plus a new one for budgeting!

I had a chance to make some much needed tweaks to this today. I cleaned up the header, improved the scene strips, and got the PDF exports to span multiple pages! Super stoked for that :D I experimented with Grok and Gemini first, but they weren't doing what I needed, so I went back to Claude...

Just passed 200K views on Christmas Day!

I'm messing around with a few ideas at the moment, nothing concrete yet. I know that thrillers can do well, but that seems over saturated. I have heard that they're looking for action movies right now, so I've got some ideas for that too. I think that the key is to maximize what I can bring...

"Leap" was obviously a passion project that I've been working on for 15 years. It's my artsy fartsy film with a message and I didn't care if I make anything off of it or not. From a technical standpoint, it turned out better than expected. My wife and I were talking and started to consider...

I couldn't be happier at the moment. I think having Indie Rights put it on their channel was a smart move. They have over 2000 titles and I think that the algorithm rewards that. If I had uploaded it to mine, it would be much slower going. It took my last film almost two years to reach what...

Many of you know that I've been working on this for over fifteen years. I completed the film earlier this year, and signed with Indie Rights to get it out there. It's been on Amazon and Tubi for the last six months, and as of tonight, YouTube for FREE! The live premiere starts soon, I'll be...

I posted about this before, but now I have a full working version - and I only used the free versions of ChatGPT and Claude. To pull something like this off, you really just need to know how to communicate. I found that I became a project manager, simply telling the AI tools what features I...

The movie is now out on pretty much every platform we could get on. Amazon, Tubi, Google Play and YouTube TVOD. Been dealing with a lot of unfair reviews on IMDB from listeners of a podcast that shits on Christian films. Even though they enjoy watching the film to mock it - which I think is...

I've been using ChatGPT and Claude (free versions) to build my dream film shoot scheduler called CineSched. Currently it's Mac only and only for my own use, but I might make it available once it's more refined. I'll say it up front - I don't know how to write code. I tell the AI what I want...
