During our time at the Michigan HitRECord House of Awesomeness, we wrote and shot a ghost film called "The Tide". Here's the one-sheet for it that KevinMaistros and I created. Our two models/actresses are LizSmalls and Ellieyah.

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.

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.

sometimes you get what you want
sometimes you get what you need
and every now and then 
if you're really really lucky
you get both.
