My camera has served me so well in the year or so that I have had it. Using this wonderful piece of technology, I have shot Clarity, Line of Sight, A Growing Problem, some segments of Gull Man, Man of Action, and about a bazillion other little things from the narrative perspective. But do you know what else a Panasonic PVGS500 is good for? Filming random events like Talent Shows, Karaoke, and Guilty Gear Tournaments!
TREVOR’S GOT TALENT
My younger brother’s first time on stage performing a song he wrote. Kid’s got some real charisma too!
A BOY NAMED SUE
My turn to start yelling angry lyrics in bars. I think I scared some of the people in the foreground of this footage. Shot expertly by my wonderful girlfriend, Jenny.
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Tournament at Otakon 2008
Let the Games Begin! as my friends James, Phil, Amber and I took off the gloves and put our best moves out to show for the most exciting matches of our lives.
I miss my Canon Elura 90 dearly, but when it comes down to it, this is one of the clearest-shooting cameras I’ve ever used, with great video and audio quality and a heck of a range in terms of versatility. Just wait till you guys see Clarity and Line of Sight. The true power of this little guy will be seen!
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.
I’ll be attending this year’s Otakon at the Baltimore Convention Center in Maryland. Thankfully, the jerks at my place of business felt it better to let me go early this summer, so I can go all 4 days!
I’ll be there filming some new stuff for the website and getting together with friends and parading around as both Max Action from our films and Johnny from Guilty Gear X2- A game I one day pledge to make into a feature film.
It’s been a long road to this thing and I’ll put up pictures and video later, but hey, until then meet up with me if you can find me! You’ll get a spot on the website and a ton of kudos if you’re in costume!
Sam Anderson, our frontman and lead actor, has completed his first directorial debut at James Madison University under his education major. The end result is Codebreakers- an intelligent and hilarious romp through the world of cipher cracking and mathematical espionage.
The film stars Sam and his friend Josh, and includes a brief montage of nostalgic and awesome music.
I really enjoy Sam’s work here- its clever, its funny, with a lot of heart behind it. Sam is going to be an amazing teacher if he keeps up with the edutainment! While the pacing is a bit rough and the quality isn’t HD or anything, it is a solid first effort and shows just how much he’s learned working with me, Bob, Damien, Rob, and all the other guys at STRIKE A POSE!!! Films. We’re proud to feature his work on this site! Good Times Dude!
Westhavenbrook, the amazing film group behind Sockbaby 1-3, The Battle Jitni series, and many other entertaining amateur and Zero-budget chopsocky films, have released their biggest movie yet. John Soares returns as our jive-talking’, smooth-walkin’, ass-kickin’ hero, Ronny Cordova to do what he does best: Kicks some ass while walkin’ smooth and talkin’ jive! All the while looking really good doing it.
It should be pretty well known around here that STRIKE A POSE!!! Films has found a lot of inspiration through Westhavenbrook’s original film, and wouldn’t have come nearly as far as we have without their further inspiration and kind words of support. So we’re gonna post their new video for you guys to see, but by all means, go to the Sockbaby Official Website to see the original films, then download the new one in HIGH DEF WMV below:
