HEY JOE! Part 2-- Let's Make SITC III a Grand Finale!
by iBrews
Released over 1 year ago
Text_notecard_shadow_top_left Hi everyone, and Joe, but really everyone!

Just got back from the second Summer in the City PIANOS show, and had a fantabulous time, and want to talk with you all about it! I'm also hoping to provide a place for RegularJOE to see our thoughts and converse on how to make the last Summer in the City show a true grand finale.

So let's discuss: from the perspectives of someone there, someone watching the stream, and someone trying to make something compelling with the RECords that come out of the show:

what worked? (let's do more of this!)
what could work better? (constructive feedback)
what would you love to see in the last show? (please oh please...)


To spark the conversation, here are the thoughts of myself and a few other hitrecorders in attendance:

What worked:
- creating a tiny story with word association was superb. It engaged the audience, allowed us to feel a collective sense of creation, and allowed everyone watching the stream to charette responses.
- Joe directing specific people to film certain angles and come on stage during the music performance. He did a great job of organizing the chaos (like a director!)
-revealing the 'world premiere' of the Haus of Glitch Live Acts video. It felt like the culminating moment to the two days of hard work so many people had put in.

What could've worked better:
-playing so many records that we're all familiar with felt like needless exposition.
-reading Tiny Stories...kind of cool and simple way to get more focus on the audience members, but what are we really going to do with those videos? Similar thoughts for having people say their favorite/least favorite thing about living in a city
-having the incredible director Rian Johnson there and only having him read a tiny story. Oh how I wish he could have directed the audience in producing some kind of beautiful ambient spectacle...or something.

What we'd love to see in the last show:
-ACTING! the wall behind the stage is white, Joe is an actor, he knows many actors, and many hitrecorders love to act. Let's take advantage of all of these cameras and people and film an actual scene worthy of being edited and chroma keyed!

Agree? Disagree? Something to add? Let's conversationalize. 		Text_notecard_shadow_top_right

The Pissed Princess
by xobreexo23
Released over 1 year ago
I love TwistedThursday's short story, I always wondered what the Princess's side of the story was, so I just wanted to play with the idea. I was also wondering if I could try a little experiment with you guys. I made this little film of mine black and white gave little detail to the environment, as a way of giving you guys the rest of control. Kind of like a big coloring book that turns in a story. You can print it out for some hand made illustrations or photoshop it. Go crazy! This is such a plain atmosphere, which is no fit for a princess add some crazy shannigans please. Make the leaves orange and pink or add a penguin with a tuxedo. Its just a small experiment of mine,and I'm curious
I added zip of the individual photos soon so you pick any moment or emotion and give it a try
Thank you♥

Letter to Everyone
by TiDog
Released over 1 year ago
Text_notecard_shadow_top_left HitRECord, RegularJoe, and the general public of this site,

THANK YOU!

This website, in my opinion, is better than any other communicative webpage out there. This site gives an individual the personal freedom to expose their work to more than just their family and friends, but to an audience composed of artists like themselves.

We can view the creations of others and be legally capable of remixing it into something even more unique. This site connects us in ways that are beyond mental, but spiritual. We expose ourselves to others by telling tales with the videos, audio, images, and text that define us, or at least a part of us.

I must admit that I first joined this site because I was a fan of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, but it later became much more than that. I realized that this webpage was exactly the kind of collaborative community that I always wanted to participate in. It is my dream to become a published author. I like flowing words together so they form a sort of melody. I enjoy the sounds that certain words make, i.e. delicious or vibrant. And I especially love creating a world for a reader to temporarily live in and experience.

An aspiring artist, like me, can finally finish the projects he or she starts; by giving them a target audience to please. It’s almost like a taste test to see how the customer enjoys the delicate composition of the piece that an individual created. In that way, the artist can get a good idea of how others will enjoy their work.

The point of this letter is to voice my appreciation not only towards this website, or RegularJoe himself, but to everyone who takes part in this site. I want to thank RegularJoe for being so dedicated to this; it is truly inspirational. It is one thing to be a well-known actor who is busy making films to accomplish something as big as this website, and another to be a “regular” (no fame included) person achieving this. Also, thank you to the general public of HitRECord.org for sharing such visionary and extraordinary works of art. And lastly, thank you to the website HitRECord for simply existing. That in itself is rather wonderful.

So, farewell for now, I have enjoyed letting my hand type away my unspoken thoughts. For me, writing allows me to better understand myself and well, not be corny, but a little more of the world as well. So thank you for reading, I’ll be submitting more of my stories later on in the day, week, month, year, and so on. And although my skills seem to be limited to only writing, I will contribute to other’s work as much as I can.

Have a great day… or night! ;)

Sincerely,

Tiesha (or TiDog)

Tiny Stories Book
by deeasherself
Released almost 2 years ago
Text_notecard_shadow_top_left So, Mushr, tommacarte and I just had a little conversation via twitter about the Tiny Stories collab and we came up with an idea... which is pretty much a book, with the stories from that collab. Having them here and reading them is really cool, but it would be even better if we could take the bus or go to the beach and take a book out of our bags with all this stories. Each story can have its own typography and doodles, maybe made by the author or by somebody else in case the author thinks his handwriting and drawings are awful. So... thoughts anyone :D? This is the idea all summed up in a few words, anyways, so we'd like to know what you guys think. Of course, the final call would be Joe's, but I was thinking if there's enough "votes" for this it could actually happen. Text_notecard_shadow_top_right

Morgan M Morgansen Film V1
by Lawrie Brewster
Released about 2 years ago
Hey guys! Thanks for everyone posting in the other thread where I've hosted version 1! However I felt it was appropriate that people should be able to download the film uploaded here on hit record so its more easily downloadable as a resource, and is searchable in the database!

I am currently writing an epic essay about the work flow, which ill be adding to this thread once the films uploaded! Im posting parts of it on the old thread for the film, but i'll be shifting them over here!

Im so grateful to the artists whose work i was able to use, and to whom I could contribute! Metaphorest, Jenyffer, Lula and Joe and everyone just blew me away.

When I see what people are making here, and are aspiring too (me too!) I think wow, this is the kind of work i enjoy - to me this art, is what entertains me. To see us work together and develop ever more ambitious projects that Hit Record can eventually share with the world, to eventually become self sustaining - is one of the most exciting things ive seen occur in the creative industries.

So im waffling there - but exciting times!

Version 2 - will be including a number of graphic improvements, extra shots here and there, particularly to credits! Ive asked for ideas and suggestions in the last thread but deffo port them over here and ill give them a good consider!
