Bibbity Bloggity Boo!

It's not that I don't want to blog. Honestly, I do. It's that I don't got time.

So I've recently been on the production of The Lie, an independent feature based on short story by T.C. Boyle and starring Joshua Leonard (The Blair Witch Project, Hump Day). LOOOOOONG hours, LOOOOOOW pay, but otherwise rewarding in its own right. There's some great people on crew and we've already hit some legendary locations (including an overnight shoot at the REAL Camp Crystal Lake from Friday the 13th, Part 3). And the best part is my short animation ("The Nosy Spider") is featured in one scene. Now THAT'S exposure! That all said, though, part of me isn't sure what to think anymore about movies.

This is a lot of trouble for a mostly-improvised movie, with no explosions or car chases or gun fights. How much more daunting can one of those movies be?

Enter animation. The golden format. No actors; no cameras; no lights. No laws of physics. No safety precautions. No location permits. Just cute characters, family fare, silly scripts, and fast-track 3D. And at a third of the cost of Spider-Man. Now that's what I call movie-making.

Gad, I need to get Flash back...
