PUSH - Directed by Matt Sconce

Rough cut with Synch Sounds and Synch temp dialogue uploaded to Justin Durban! I talk with him tomorrow about the feel of the movie and then he creates magic! Woohoo! I am excited! Music really makes the movies for me, and I highly respect Justin's work! If you have not checked it out, go to

Yeah, he does a great job. You definitely gave him enough time to rock something nice too. I think hes used to that 1 day to score 9 films type work.

Gary... I never did hear whether you liked the HYPERCAM logo.... ?

The logos are really nice. The workers at the sticker production shop were really impressed with the art work. One said, "That is amazing design!" In the future re-do the art to have 'Patent Pending' on it somewhere.

I worked until 11pm last night and finished painting the Hypercam, reassembling it, putting on all of the logos and the big 'Hyperactive Studios' sticker and then sitting back and staring at it. WOW! Anyone who knows that these things are would like to have this. I am sooooo happy with how it came out.

And Matt and Mark, it's ours! Start your fertile and crazed minds thinking about what new angles, movements, and styles of shots you will be able to add to your film ideas with this rig.

This morning I pulled the pins, disassembled it and it all fit into my suitcase just as planned. YAY! I am ready for more tests with Matt's HVX tonight and for meeting with Justin and Ian at Blair tomorrow to set the unit for the Red Camera commercial shoot in SanFran on Saturday. :thumbsup:

YEah! Click on his link and then on his Demo Reel . Wait for the thing to load and then proceed to freak out at the goodness.


I am happy to be able to further test the Hypercam tonight!

Too True.


I talked to Justin today and I think we are good to go with the score. I am getting him a completely mastered sound edit as soon as possible so he does not have to use my crappy overdub version. I am working on that this Saturday with Mike Aro and expect to have it doen by the following Saturday. I will also be finishing the VFX with Mark in the next couple weeks. Lots more blood splatter needed. Mwah Ha Ha!:kali:

Too bad Justin has to go on vacation for almost a month! I will be nearer the deadline than I wished. Come on dude! You are a machine you don't need a vacation...you don't need sleep...you don't need to breathe..!!!:badputer:

HAHA! Kidding of course. I wish you the best vacation ever. Get a lot of rest and then you can use the restored energy reserved to work your Masterpiece for PUSH. :love4:

I test out the painted streamlined version of the Hypercam tonight. Tomorrow we will test it with the RED ONE. :violent5:
 
Ego Boost....you deserve it!

Ego Boost....you deserve it!

Push is already looking so amazing!!! anytime Matt takes on a project he puts his ALL into it and it pays off every time. I wish we had had the hypercam ready for this movie shoot but it's gonna make all future shoots that much better. Yeah for my daddy-in-law!! Creativity definitely runs in the family! Props to ya both!

okay...ego boost over now. loves to y'all!!

Gary, that's amazing! About how much in parts do you think it cost to make it?
Click to expand...

The metal, springs, hardware and swivel joints were not too expensive, but the time was long - over 40 man-hours of labor. I had to plan, draw out, buy supplies, measure, cut, grind, weld, bend, file, drill, de-rust brush, assemble, test, disassemble, prime, paint, reassemble, test, add stickers, and test again.

I have found a few minor issues on beta-testing the rig with heavy weight that will cause more: Disassembly, measuring, fabricating, grinding, welding, grinding, testing, tweaking, priming, painting, and testing... So the Blair shoot in San Francicso is not going to happen.

Fun still? SURE! We will have a rockin' steadycam for very little money.

If one adds up my time the cost gets to be a lot as this is the first one. Others built will take a fraction of the time. I'm thinking to patent and produce this will take way less cost than some of the expensive steadycams on the market and will have way more features for the film maker. It may end up being the useful "all go no show" volkswagen bug-type steadycam ultimately for the financially maxed out filmaker who needs a steady. I will probably sell them on eBay one at a time for a bargain price and keep my retired dad preping the parts.

BTW, it did fit into a suitcase. YAY! :happy:
 
Here is a sneak peak at the coolness that is the Hypercam. Just a little more developmental tweaking and it will be good to go. Dad! It is amazing!

Or even edible... I don't know maybe a goat...

My wife is accusing me of making her a 'Hypercam widow' lately... HA!

Me:violent5:Her. I still have miles to go before I sleep... or until testing is complete...:engel017:

Balance Grasshopper. The key is dedicate some time to your wife where most of your brain is focussed on her... then the HyperCAM... If she is happy, then it will be easier for you to focus, problem solve and anything else.... Balance is good, with the hypercam and especially with marriage. :thumbup:
