“davID,” secret quarantine project #2 is finally finished!
“DavID” is about a guy who needs to go, one way or another… Loosely inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-tale Heart.”
I am kind of a hypocrite as I was just recently poking fun at soon-to-be-now-practically-here-wave of quarantine glut and yet here I am making something quarantine themed. But, I always find wonderful spontaneous motivation and creativity when a deadline is involved.
Most of all, I just love to make stuff. I am grateful for this prolific outburst of content, good or bad. It is a tonic for the soul to be creating and putting things into the world during these trying times.
I also get to have lots of fun and learn a thing or two. This time around, I got even more comfortable with the new camera, as well some more experimenting with lighting and color grading. I also learned how much I don’t like the Fairlight tools in Davinci Resolve Pro. Yuck.
I am very satisfied with the ending, but reluctantly, and somewhat regretfully decided to tell the story with voiceover due to my lack of resources (I.e. other people.) It is what it is. Onto the next thing!!!
Romeo’s Distress
“Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love.”
– Charles M. Schulz

Long Live the Horror
A feature length Concert Documentary about a seminal Horror-Punk band playing their last show (in the U.S.) at a resurrected Horror-Punk Festival. It ONLY contains footage shot on August 1st 2012 to August 5th 2012 at said resurrected Horror-Punk Festival. Originally, the footage comes from another project featuring that seminal horror-punk band featured in "Long Live the Horror". When it came to light that this footage would never be used, "Long Live the Horror" was born. This project has NOTHING to do with "Blitzkid: Return to the Living" or "Ghouls Night Out Fest" the DVD. It is a completely SEPARATE project and has no authorized or official affiliation to Blitzkid - It's members or those who founded/ran Ghouls Night Out fest. It is SIMPLY for Horror-Punk fans who contributed to crowdfunding campaigns. It is/was meant to be EXCLUSIVELY FOR FREE to the public on the Youtube and Vimeo platforms.

Evil Lives - The Misfits A.D.
Using approximately 144 different cellphone/DSLR clips, I managed to sync up the whole show. Some songs like “Death Comes Ripping” use 11 different angles from the various cellphones in the audience.
