FAT MONSTER FILMS presents "O2" ... Every. Breath. Counts.

Oh, yes, Matty. Well, uh, happy birthday...

Just messing, you totally rock. Hope you have a good one! :birthdays:

PS: I see you are not in the birthdays section, this is why you didn't receive one of the coveted Penguin Birthday PM's. Only a select few qualify for that kind of treatment, and you would have been one of them. Too bad now...:D

:beer: Cheers,
 
the set was a standing set. There were a few modifications like adding the kinos in the floor and whatnot.

also, thanks for the birthday wishes guys!
 
There were a more modifications than that and a lot more set dressing that went on, not to mention picking and modifying the costumes etc. to work with / against the set, and designing that end to help tell the story / clarify as well.

And happy birthday biotch. If I had gone to bed the night before at all, not gotten of a 10 hour plane ride where I could not sleep (body builder with stubbly arms next to me - no joke) and had no idea where I would have slept at Luis's I would have been there. But hope you had a good one. Will buy you a drink Fri.
 
I don't really count costumes as set dressing.
The one place where lots of set dressing did happen was the "bedroom" that Jack pulled out of his ass!

And the wrench scene. :D

He asked about set design and the look of the production, which is really all art direction. I don't count costumes as set dressing either but all of it taken as a whole is Art Direction or design.

Certainly, yes, yes, we used a stock set, but we did a lot more than show up and point a camera at it, not that you were saying that per se. But we got a unified look through luck and the choices we made curating disparate found, bought, borrowed, and constructed elements.

There's an abject lesson in low budget filmmaking here too - you write to your resources. Mark and Tim went through several iterations of their basic idea based on what was available to them. While the fundamental story line remained the same, the given circumstances and back story of the world changed to meet what could best be physically realized. For example, in the initial concept of the short this was a NASA ship. But it does not look like a NASA ship. NASA is Star Trek / 2001 clean and neat. The set is Star WARS / Battle Star / Firefly future grunge. So they became space truckers with no affiliation to NASA. The basic interpersonal relationships of the story and the story itself was left either largely or entirely unchanged and the new grungey broken down aesthetic was woven in and capitalized upon in whatever ways possible.
 
Well-deserved. Congratulations on first guys!

Talk about a meteoric rise in these fests...The Fat Monster story is very inspiring. Keep it up!
 
Well I just wanted to say congratulations to everyone involved. This was a fine film. I recently shared a few of my favorites from this fest with some friends and I must say that this was definitely one of my top picks. Again, congrats... can't wait to see what you come up with next!!

:grin: :thumbsup: :beer:
 
Congrats Mark, Tim & crew. An insane amount of work and preperation, out of pure passion, by everyone and it shows.
 
I STILL havent been able to see this film... the MOV file is always corrupted when i DL it for some reason...

so sad....
 
Are you serious? And no one gave you a copy?
mmmm. Weird. I can zip it up for you but fk me. If those Fat Bastards, er, Monsters, can't get you one then fk it.

Like the new avatar though, a little scary. Does that mean your brewing up some resentment/revenge thing? (snicker, snicker). [pssstt. I've got a sniper scope and a set of 18V night vision goggles. Can I play too?]
 
Hey, congrats Fat Monster. You guys are movie making force to be reckoned with. Congrats congrats. Can't wait what else you guys cook up for us.
