These are all the updates from the last two meetings. We’ve been doing a lot.

Two meetings ago we discussed our need for T-Shirts. We’re going to try and have some by April so that we can all wear them for the Admitted Student Day Games. If you’d like to submit a design just jot something on a piece of paper that includes a 1. Film Strip 2. Camera 3. Clapboard and 4. Whatever else you want, just come up with a design that has the club’s name and we’re good! Best one wins a free T-shirt. Or something. They’ll probably be free anyways.

Speaking of First Admitted Student Day, Over the last two meetings we’ve been discussing what game we would do. It’s been decided to do some sort of shoot-em-up. I submitted to SOAP that we’ll be doing an “Action Hero Simulator” so grab your nerf guns and let’s make some cardboard cutouts! Ninjas, terrorists, and Aliens are recommended!

We’re also starting to have workshops, and if we get more attendance to the next couple of meetings we’ll probably start more of them. Writer’s, Storyboarding, and I of course will probably attempt a Fight Choreography workshop. Who knows where that’ll go…

WE NEED FLIERS. Anyone who knows graphic design needs to hop on their computer and print out fliers for the club! The information included on the flier should include…CLUB NAME, TIME of meeting, PLACE, a catchy slogan, what we do, and a bad ass picture of SOMETHING that we can place around campus. It’s gotta be PC guys, other than that, just go crazy because we REALLY need one. Or two, or three!

We also need a flier calling for entries for the Film Festival we’ll be having in March or April. Let’s get that done ASAP so we can start getting entries handed in!

Also be sure to check out strikeaposefilms.com/future-film-makers for our new homepage. You can also go to the forums on the website, register, and post whatever you want about movies or whatever in the forums!

We also filmed a movie! It’s been a while since we’ve done this as a club, but MAN OF ACTION is a huge success, Thomas England plays a great prat-fall character, and I get hit by a car! This video will be showcased on PAC 14 so we’ll be getting a lot of people to see our work very soon! There will also be a video introducing the club to the community thanks to Professor Moeder, Matt, and Thomas, airing in the next few weeks. It will promote us greatly! Maybe we can get some producers.

I’ll be trying to do more saturday filmings like this from now on, probably once a week.

We will be having a movie showing in Fulton Hall 111 this Saturday from 7 to whenever, showing two very exotic and creepy films: Old Boy and Audition. Come for the movies, or come for the free food in between! (If we do not get free food I will go out to little cesars and collect 5 dollar bills for pizzas for everyone myself).

Finally this Sunday or at least sometime within the next 10 days I’d like to maintain an outing to Be Kind Rewind. See the trailers for it if you’ve never heard of it before- this movie is the perfect companion piece to our club.

Alright that’s it for this week, Filmmakers!

Here’s a new trailer for Curse of Bodangofish starring Sam Anderson as Joe Belivitz (same character from Car Trouble).

This trailer was made for Sam’s birthday, and to finally get something of the film up on the net! It contains all of his best lines, and even shows a bit of the storyline to the film itself!

Enjoy!

The Razzie Awards, the self described “award show where the stars never show up” has posted its nominations today right along side of the Oscar Nods that have come out. Thankfully, neither group crosses over in terms of ceremonial prestige, and we get to see a fully divided set of Good and Evil between the two this year. And gee-golly what an awful year in films it was! I seriously think that The Razzie only hit the tip of the iceberg though, as it should have nicked that terrible movie of which I never speak (The Infamous Third Spider Person Film) for a few of the nominations, but the films chosen definitely merit these awards! It’s too bad they can’t all win.

Today I got an email from the Office of Student Activities at Salisbury University. In this letter they informed us of an event known as the Admitted Student Day, where we show off clubs to incoming freshmen and help drive them towards their fun and enjoyable times they have coming at them at Salisbury University. I just want to say how incredibly proud I am of everyone involved in the club, and that its great to see that our efforts, big and small, are finally paying off! Let’s make this the best semester of Future Film Makers yet!

Here’s the whole email:

Hello

You have been selected as one of the outstanding RSO’s on this campus to participate in Salisbury University’s first “Admitted Student Day.” This event will invite out all students for the incoming freshmen class who have been admitted to Salisbury, but are still deciding if they are coming here. It’s our job to impress them and show them all of the awesome clubs we have on campus. We have selected your club as one of the top 25 out of 130 clubs we have on campus and want you to be there!

The event is Saturday April 5th 2008 from 8:30-10:30am (might be done closer to 10am) in Maggs gym. The event will be similar to a Student Activities Fair or Homecoming where every club will have a table to decorate, advertise, give away freebies, and do some sort of activity/game at your table. There will be prizes awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place tables for best decoration/games.

Remember, we are trying to show these prospective students ways to get involved at SU.

Please email me with any questions and RSVP to us by February 1st, 2008. Thanks!

Short and sweet, this video is funny as hell. David Lynch is the somewhat-well known cult director of such bizarre art thriller films as Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, so let’s just be clear that this is a guy that thinks really deeply about really important subjects, such as the viewing of feature films on portable video accessories such as iPod and their infamous iPhone. Here’s his take on it, keep the volume down if at work:
