Congrats to JDS

Another ultra low-budget movie that I thought was great was one called Primer and was made for 7K. Granted the guy wrote, produced, directed, starred, shot, it and even did the music for it (kinda like TheaterGuy :) ) But it did a good festival run and you can get it on DVD so it was a success and definitely got the guy noticed.
 
Good Festival run?

Look at the DVD cover... It had the kind of Sundance run indie's dream of, and this guy comes out of nowhere.

Purchase the soundtrack on iTunes for 8.00. Shane Carruth did, in fact, compose it and it's got a real Jon Brion thick over it's tones: hauntingly optimistic, if I had to describe it.

Interesting tidbit: They had no room/time/money for reshooting scenes so most of those are one-takes on 16mm.

Obviously doesn't take a rocket scientist to make a good movie, but maybe a great engineer out of the mid-west?

Err... back on topic--

GO JACK!!! When do you guys tell us about the project?
 
Hey Jack - Thanks for the tips and I started a thread here, so as not to derail this one with my rambling...
http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?p=737853#post737853

I actually used to be really involved in these forums... a long time ago, probably up until we started making the movie and then I got so busy, my forum surfing time got cut way down. It's very cool to see how DVXUSER has expanded and evolved.

And yeah, i was checking my stats and noticed a bunch of visits from this thread so I decided to drop by and see what people were saying... hoping it wasn't anything too bad.

But yeah, we just decided it was now or never. We HAD to make it and we did.
 
Hay JDS!

Congrats on the win and all dood! Can't wait to see what you & Berry G cook up. Just wanted to say it again! Oh and by the way I just need you to take a deep look at this picture.............................................

Congrats, Jack! I remember we cheering for you while you posted your hurricane status, in zombiefest. It payed off, to go to all the trouble to finish it, afterall. The good thing about seeing you win all the time over here is that we can be certain it was well deserved. To know you'll be working with Barry green... Wow, what a team! I want to see that film!

You're a true talent man, I'm happy to see things taking off!

Best of Luck, and remember your virtual friends, dude!
 
Taubkin ... it's great to hear from you. I hope you enter Drama fest!

Brandon, We are just trying to nail down what we wanna shoot right now.

I don't wanna say what we have cooking yet because it might fall through.

We both wanna get through this stage and get into pre-production and production as soon as possible, but we both feel strongly that the script is probably our most important element.

We are trying a variety of approaches to get there though.

Thanks for the interest and I wish I had more exciting news for you.

Once we have the material locked down then we can start one of those user film threads I guess, like with a name and a log line and all! Woohoo! But that's a bit down the road for now :thumbsup:
 
Most likely HVX. Barry mentioned at some point that it could even be film if it had to be film, i.e., that would clearly serve the story better than H.D. or the concept was somehow wrapped up in film.

But 99.9% probably HVX unless Barry wants to step in and correct me on that.

But that is something I'm considering with the material, what media its best suited for / what media serves it (the story) best.
 
Cool. It'd be great if it was the HVX, just for... well obvious reasons, but your line after the / says it best.

Best wishes. And with that I'm sleepin now.

Later
Jason
 
it should only be shot with HVX if not RED because you need to make a statement about the indie spirit. how could most of us relate or support if it was shot on film? then it'd be like any other movie.... not that it should matter...

anyway, can't wait to see things move forward.
 
Haha thanks Wesley :)

I may be meeting with Barry in person on Sunday (he has a layover in NY)

Hopefully some cool things will fall into place that we can share with you before the New Year. :beer:
 
God I'm so embarassed I just posted this in the wrong thread and deleted it...the Katrina thread -- a wonderful thread don't get me wrong...jesus.

doesn't look like this thread has gone too stale -- I haven't been to dvxuser in a while, but Mr. Stanley and Mr. Green, what you're doing sounds damned great, I hope the collaboration works out really well. I'd be interested to hear how the idea exchange tends to take place.

But does this mean no three-peat with drama?? I was hoping to man our thread alongside a two-time champeen! I say your record ain't squat til you've done at least...seven different genres.

(and if timur civan asks...his poster IS amazing.)
