From KouraLilly: "when we were at the hitRECord house of awesomeness in michigan, i put forward the idea of co-writing a ghost story...literally we sat in a circle, theserpentthecharmer said the first paragraph, and then we all went round adding sentences or words or full parts until we had told a whole story. kevin maistros RECorded that and annmarie57 transcribed it. theserpentthecharmer then edited it.  then myself with cacheth, steviestars3, seldeterre, joerud, ellieyah, lizsmalls, romana_clef, theserpentthecharmer and kevin maistros went through and final edited it into something we could turn into a live-action short film.  i turned it into a shot list and then directed and shot it while everyone acted in it.  lizsmalls did make-up, theserpentthecharmer and annmarie57 did sfx make-up, romana_clef helped me keep track of the shot list, kevin maistros shot b-roll and stills, moonbug helped as a grip and on props, pretty much everyone acted in it.  and as the day went on and more hitRECorders arrived, they jumped right into the mix and were actors as well [brookeduckart, hayling and falling_alice] <3


seldeterre and joerud started RECording a theme track for it, which they sang on along with theserpentthecharmer and lizsmalls.  there was b-roll footage and stills shot along with the main footage i shot. 


while we are all gathering everything and putting it together...we wanted to also put it up here for everyone to contribute to.  because while it was amazing to be able to work on this project in person with some, this community is about creating art together - so - feel free to curate, RECord, REmix or simply watch and heart as our story comes to life...


we bring you - the tide....."

I apologize if you all are getting sick of seeing my big dumb face but I felt I had to redo the promos to fit in line with the decided on title "HitRECord on TV." I also did a couple more of saintmaker's promos to put something fresh out there.


I hope some of this can prove useful!

Sometimes when my daily workload is heavy, I like to take a break from what I'm doing and make a poster. I do this at least once a day, but today I was particularly inspired by the hitRECord article on Indiewire. So, I thought I'd share today's "break poster".


 


Though I never had the pleasure of meeting, working with, or knowing Dan - the article today was about the history and future of hitRECord. I thought it only fitting, to remix Dan's record from 3 years ago. Before today, I thought that because of not knowing him it would be only respectful to remain silent in his presence. Recently, I lived at a house for a week with many RECorders who did have the fortunate pleasure of meeting, working with, or knowing him. They changed my mind. Respectfully, in memory of.

When RegularJoe described the idea for the RE:Space Cold Open I got this idea that in there could be a really long rolling shot of the girl rising on her balloon through the stratosphere/atmostphere/all-spheres. This is a background for such a shot. 


And right when I uploaded the unfinished version, Ben Mcleod had made the perfect city skyline for the bottom. So here's the whole thing finished. 


Rolling animation preview coming in a moment.

While at the hitRECord House of Awesomeness in Michigan, Kouralilly put forward the idea of co-writing a ghost story, collaboratively all together. So, we sat in a circle. TheSerpentTheCharmer kicked off the first paragraph, and then we all went 'round adding sentences, words, or even full parts until we had told a complete story.

I RECorded it so that it could then be transcribed by Annmarie57, and we could turn it into a short film the next day [because that's how we rolled].

 

This is the audio file of that story filled evening, with some added captures of the subsequent raw collaboration that followed.

TheSerpentTheCharmer then took the transcribed text and adapted that into a short story and script. From there, Kouralilly built her shotlist and away it went into the day. So then, was born a short film to be titled, 'The Tide' - by everyone present at the house that evening.

This is a song written during the HitRECord House of Awesomeness 2013, for use in the musical short film directed by KevinMaistros. It involves the theme of secrets. Secrets belonging to two. The secret that they have run from, and that they can no longer contain within a relationship.


Featuring vocals by Brandon Elrod (TheSerpentTheCharmer) and Kevin Maistros (KevinMaistros).


LYRICS


For someone's sake, let's forget it all,


Move away and live long, living small,


I'm all for changing my name,


Let it go and stay off the shame,




In other lives, we would never leave,


What a beautiful concept it seems to be,




I'm a mess in my car, you can see that,


Alternate the girl you are, now you can be that,


What I can take from you,


What I can offer you,


We have begun all again,


 


A hidden heaven has fallen,


And blazing trails for a calling,


 


I'm a mess in my car, you can see that,


Alternate the girl you are, now you can be that,


What I can take from you now,


What I can offer you,


We have begun all again.

In the spirit of doing things the hitRECord way, here is my untouched RAW material from the narrative portions of the "Mess" (a Musical Short Film) - You know, rather than just delivering a deliverable.


"It involves the theme of secrets. Secrets belonging to two. The secret that they have run from, and that they can no longer contain within a relationship." -- JoeRud


Several things to note:



  • We wanted to tell the story through action and emotion only.

  • You can add a soundtrack or even make the soundFX. Door opening, keys hanging, footsteps, heartbeats, etc.

  • The lengthy Scene# 2A wide establishing shot is usable for several things. You could add your own dialogue over our action and completely transform the scene.

  • The end of Scene# 3D, leads into the "musical" portion of the short which I did not want to post yet.
