The consistent videoBlog of Matthew Campagna, director of 'Six Reasons Why', 'Your Geek News', 'BSGcast', 'Naked Wine Show', 'Grape Notes', 'Roots of a Man' and the upcoming 'Roll The Hard Six' and the Festival Director of the Mississauga Independent Film Festival, as he talks to himself about new projects, on-going projects, and the various goings on in his industries of film and new media.
I'm getting some of the detail shots in D.N.E.: Do Not Erase that smooth out the edit and make some of the themes in the short a bit more clear and visual. It's often called "Secondary Photography". Today I'm shooting a clock because, of course, in a time travel movie clocks have the ability to do more than move forward at 60 ticks a second...
I've just directed a short film called "D.N.E.: Do Not Erase" written by Rudy Jahchan and Nar Williams. It's a Time Travel story that stars Michele Boyd and BSG's Richard Hatch along side Nar himself, and has some of the best make-up, special effects and props that I've ever worked with. And since I'm a huge geek, it contains homage to time travel icons like Back to the Future, Planet of the Apes, Doctor Who and Terminator. Check it out on IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2179009/
With three movies on the go right now, and no idea which one might pop first, I'm location scouting in the area around LA. There's no telling whether shooting back home in Canada or down closer to Hollywood is going to make the most sense until I do some snooping... come join me!
A LOT of things have been going on in the film world for me, and here's an update... with more to come!
An exciting day of tossing around screenplay contracts today will be followed up with a busy day of flying and speaking on the FilmConnect Panel in Toronto #FCTO! Hit up http://xconnectto.com/ to learn more and come hang out with me at the ING Cafe in Downtown Toronto!
The VideoBlog is Back! Now that I'm settled into my home away from home in Los Angeles and merrily setting up Internext Studios West Coast, it seemed like the right time to get back to this account of the day to day exploits involved in making a movie!
http://MattCampagna.com for more! At this point, you may be wondering if we ever actually shot an episode of Toronto Bites IN Toronto. As it turns out, we did. This is the episode about the best Shawarma in the city, where Jeff goes around town and tries all manner of chicken that's been cooking on suspicious spits for days. You'll note he always orders two. We both ate well on this shoot.
http://MattCampagna.com for more! A few years ago, my brother and I were in the big apple and decided to shoot a road episode of our guerilla food critic and adventure show, Toronto Bites. So, once again, this would more appropriately be entitled New York City Bites.
A few years ago, while my brother and I were filming Roots of a Man in Ireland, we thought we'd take the opportunity to also shoot a travel episode of a food critic and review show we were making together called Toronto Bites. So for all intents and purposes, this episode is Dublin Bites!
http://MattCampagna.com for more! When Nat and I decided to rise to the @MoCupCakes challenge, we weren't going to just add beer to a chocolate cupcake... No, we sought to reinvent the cupcake. To tear it down and rebuild it, tougher, manlier, more macho then it had ever been before. And to do that, we needed meat. Lots of meat. Distributed by Tubemogul.
