Introducing the most EXTREME thing ever put on the internet! BRYAN BABCOCK’S LIFE STORY!
This video was made as a documentary short project for Professor Don Elkins during the Fall 08 Semester at Salisbury University in which I took News Production. The documentary focuses on Bryan’s pre-birth-near-death experiences, his fascination with fancy cheeses, his amazing stories of shark fighting, Babstock- an entire festival dedicated to himself, his love for Bear Grills and his mother. Bryan is certainly more EXTREME than you, and you should feel privileged to even be VIEWING this video.
Bryan Babcock is so EXTREME that Chuck Norris weeps in shame whenever he hears his name, for he is not as EXTREME.
It was a last minute, fun-filled experience.
Video is somewhere around 9 and a half minutes, and stars myself and Bryan. That’s basically all you need to know, aside from how freakin’ EXTREME it is!
By the way- Happy Birthday, dude. You’re the best production partner in the world! We kicked that classes’ ASS!
Be sure to check it out on the Films Page as well and make some permanent comments about how EXTREME you find Bryan’s life!
Future Film Makers, a club I’ve ran at Salisbury University for the past few years, has wrapped filming and production of its first Feature Film, BRIDE, written and directed by Mike Woodard. I act as producer on the project, and group favorites Thomas England (Man of Action) and James Howe (Gullman, The Spy Wars series), costar in it along with. Steve “Siggy” Young is also a huge part of the production, playing the villainous Professor.
The story is about Cory Hertz, a sophomore at Salisbury University who begins a research project that will change his life forever. Investigating the tragic disappearance from school over a decade ago of the long lost student, Mea Bridell, Cory uncovers a plot of love, obsession, and revenge that leads him on a chase to discover her fate. With his reluctant but faithful friend Douglas in tow, the two spiral down their own path of madness, reaching for the truth until they finally encounter the dangerous person and the malicious grudge that rendered a young love to it’s bitter end.
The finished film will be premiering in Salisbury sometime in October (probably around Halloween) and possibly double featuring with Strike a Pose Films!!! Classic, Curse of Bodangofish.
Back last semester I was in a class called Magazine Video production, wherein I would have to make a video skit every couple of weeks. You guys have already seen Man of Action, Taming the Wild Mare, and Gull-Man, I’m sure. Well, the other half of that class was some serious documentary-making exercises. The first two of which you saw were the Future Film Makers Spotlight and the GUC Spotlight. These sorta films demonstrate the other half of the biz that I can honestly say I’ve put just as much effort into as the narrative side.
As weird as the class was, because of all the hard-drilled schedules, quality demands and competitive environment, I really got a LOT out of it. So now I bring to you the culmination of both fields- the DocuDrama. It’s a real category folks, its on Comcast.
This documentary was “written” by Scott Evans and Dylan Hintz. I’m the narrator and Scott and I both did the interview sequences. Big freaking hand goes to Scott on the editing. He was really the back bone behind this thing. I was just the pretty face. I’m really proud of this video though, it netted us both some of the only A’s in the class.
It’s been nearly a month, and we’ll have a slew of new videos up! First is this gem, GULLMAN: DEFENDER OF SALISBURY! To check it out and comment on the films page, click here.
Made for both the Future Film Makers Club and Gull’s Eye View, “Gullman: Defender of Salisbury” is the last comedy skit directed by Dylan Hintz for PAC 14.
After weeks of criminal unrest in the Salisbury University Area, the campus is in utter disarray! Thankfully, the Allegiance of Super Heroes has sent in one of their best champions, Gullman (who just happens to fit the theme of the campus), to help clean up crime and save the day! Little does he know what lay in store for him. Based around an interview with local news-figurehead Robert Queue- “Gullman” breaks into many different forms of media and is one of the more complex works crafted by the Future Film Makers.
Many special thanks go out on this one:
Stephanie Kratz for designing, making, and fitting the AMAZING Gullman costume, as well as Teleprompter work
James Howe (Gullman) for putting up with everything.
Philip Krocheski (Robert Queue) for filling in at the last minute for a spectacular end!
Matt Horst (Gangsta Gangsta) for playing an amazingly accurate portrayal of a SU thug
Keith Mathias (Steve the College student) for playing an amazingly accurate portrayal of an SU student
Jason Brown and Amber Todd for studio help!
Sam Anderson for the use of his track “Thrasher”
And everyone else who showed up to make this project as great as it is!
