Um, that's about it. Cya later.
Alright, more changes have been made to the horror movie. My brother is a goodie now, and he is immune to the zombies, which obviously changes the whole world. The horror movie is now heavily zombie based, and it is spread through a strain of the rabies virus, which is passed on by biting. It is also called Sickness of the Flesh, or SOTF, and it will be created in 3 parts, each approximately 20 minutes long. This will make up a complete movie of 1 hour. That involves like 20 zombies coming to stay at my house while we film stuff. So we checked out a community centre that is close by and that looks fit for housing a few people (ping pong table). So that is good. I am looking forward to that.
And another movie that I will make is a comedic series about a dude called Dave. He is a problem solver, crime fighter and a high school student. I have started making the first episode. The montage at the start is nearly done and the script is complete. I will film more of that tomorrow (Sunday).
And finally, my friend Brendan, who is also the Alpha Zombie/Sprinter in my movie, came over today and we made a short video that has nothing to do with anything at all. Well, we were mimicking the Counterstrike game. Check it out. It's the featured video. It looks pretty good actually, except the guns are too loud, but I think we might even do another one.
OK, so some changes have been made to the horror movie which I will shoot in the holidays, in like 4 weeks. Until then I will be recruiting actors (chances are I'm not going to be in it), writing the script and playing Xbox :) Um...OK, changes. OK, before it was gonna be based around this creepy little kid who kills people. I started writing the script for that then realised that it just wouldn't last. So I'm going for a more commonly used theme. Zombies :P Yes, I know that has been used way to much but it would do better than just my brother looking scary. He will still be in it. Oh and on that note, if anyone reading this knows of a good tutorial on changing someones eye color in Adobe Premiere or After Effects, that'd be awesome. Head over to the contact page to help me out. It'll make my bro look creepier.
And a new theme is in the pipeline. However, just to get stuff straight, it will almost definately not be for this site. Coz I fail at making themes and my cousin helped me with this one, which is why it pwns. So unless I get good enough to make a theme better than this one, this one is the norm. OK, cya later.
Well, the updates are done. All the bugs have been fixed, and we are now moving to v2.1, v1 being the previous theme for Sam Graves Film (back then it was Sam G Film and Special Effects). So we are now definately onto the 2nd stage of this version of the site, and if all goes well I will not have to update it for a long time, for bugs. I'll probably just keep getting ideas of what to put into this site, and put it all together into the magical v2.3!!! Although that won't be too amazing for anybody besides me.
If I get super advanced at HTML/CSS/Javascript then I may update the theme, however I am quite content with this one and couldn't make a better theme with my current programming skills anyway. If I get good enough to make a site that has video functionality and looks even better than this one, I will make the change and that will be v3.0, but that is a long way off. Although I am designing a theme now, so I make try and add the flv player to that site and then it may function as a proper site :D
Also, now most categories have videos in them. The only ones that don't have videos in it are Vlogs and Movies (Series). I am writing a script for a comedy, and am planning the production of a horror movie. For the horror movie, I am very excited, although it'll probably take all holidays and only go for half an hour in the end. But hey. I am gonna need to recruit a whole load of zombies and a few main characters, that will all end up dying :P
OK, that's all I have to say, enjoy the updates.
However, while I was doing this I found so many bugs with this site. Like there being to Contact buttons in the footer. And the Blog category in Movies that I thought I deleted. So, these next weeks I will sort all of them out and then I will make movies with speed.
I will also change a few non-bug related issues, such as my motto thing still being "Film and Special Effects" when I don't really do special effects anymore and even if I did, I would not really post my effects as a video in its own, just include it in a series or something. So I will delete the Effects category and replace it with a new Blog category. And then I think that will solve most of those problems. I'm also thinking about making a 10 post limit to the news section, and after that there is a link to "All News" or something, which then shows all of it. Maybe.
So, fix the bugs, upload the videos, change the site around. That's the plan.
Anyway, I'm gonna run my tests, and I'll upload them in Projects when I'm done.
Also, the egg start stop animation is definately not cancelled. I am going to do a few animation tests today with a regular egg, and if it doesn't fail horribly then I will go ahead with it. Maybe I will use a Fanta bottle, and have Coke vs Fanta wars, which I was originally going to do. And yes, I know that Coke and Fanta are from the same company, and that it should be Coke vs Pepsi, but my brother came up with the idea (he collects Coke and Fanta cans, he has like a thousand of them, he's strange) so that'll be a lot easier than going out and get hundreds of Pepsi cans.
And I'm going to maybe do some filming for my friends who are making a video about "if there was a hl2 console in real life, if you haven't played Half Life 2, or any game where if you press ` a console will come up and you type cheats into it. So that will be good.
For school I am editing a video me and 2 of my friends made. I also need to make another video advertising paint. So I will have to do that before the end of the holidays. I am still editing the soccer video I filmed, but that will hopefully be done soon.
So, there are still only 2 videos on this site, but as you have just read, lots and lots are coming. Stick around and watch out for them.
Ok, back to working on the script. If you want to talk to me about it, got to the Contact page and email me.
And them, I got a very good idea. I am going to make a start/stop animation using eggs with faces as the characters! Now that I have my tripod and camera it is very possible. I'm definately looking forward to it.
So, that is what's gonna be up later in the month. Or next month. Or whenever. Um...what else happened? Nothing. Hmmm...see you later.
So, due to no movie making program available to me, new videos are not gonna come through until I fix it.
