FRIDAY FEATURE - A FILM ABOUT FILM MAKERS At David+Martin I decided some time ago to drop something for my creatives every Friday that could be a random source of inspiration or just something nice to watch but always film-related though mostly not from the advertising industry. Starting today I decided to share my "FRIDAY FEATURES" also with the rest of my community here. Some know that I have been into indy film and especially documentaries for a better part of my career so I hope I can surprise a couple of you that are mainly from the advertising world with what I am sharing. In this week's Friday Feature I am bringing you a light and really honest comedy piece by Californian writer/director Alex Zajicek. In his most recent film "Sorry, we're dead" Cinema and reality blur with comic deconstruction when Lana's movie falls through the ceiling into her life. A Film about Film Makers. Alex Zajicek makes his feature-length debut with "Sorry, We’re Dead". The meta-comedy stars Sarah Lee as Lana, a lecture video editor. Her co-workers drive her crazy, especially Burd (Davied Morales), whose color blindness and fondness for experimentation leads to all sorts of mayhem. However, her boss, Will (Kelechi Nwadibia), and roommate, Monica (Anna Sharpe), help Lana stay slightly sane. However, when a hard drive that wasn’t backed up goes haywire, Lana’s life is turned upside down. The movie being made begins to react to her, and she to it. Scenes turn black and white. Text appears to define specific words. Is Lana’s life just a flick, or are these things happening to teach her something?   "Sorry, We’re Dead" is a wild ride. The way Zajicek bakes the process of filmmaking directly into the story allows for creative flourishes. However, instead of coming across as indulgent or flashy, these elements are natural and fun. It’s tough to get into more of what happens without spoiling the plot, but the meta angle works brilliantly. Lee is hilarious as the always-irritated lead. Her deadpan perfectly conveys Lana’s emotional state and confusion once the movie intrudes. Morales is tons of fun as the bumbling but sweet Burd. Chesi Ho portrays Lana’s mom and makes quite the impression in just a few scenes. Sharpe helps keep everything grounded no matter how fantastical it all becomes.   The film is an ambitious full-length debut. But Zajicek has the chops to pull it all off. A vital side character could be developed more, but there’s so much good here that one mistake is not enough to bring the picture down. The filmmaker smartly uses the meta stuff to comment on art and people’s relation to it. The cast has excellent comedic timing and shares an authentic chemistry that crackles throughout the 86-minute runtime.

I've started looking into rigging and animation recently, and in the last week I created this as a little teaser for my game "Squirrel Smasher II". The rig makes heavy use of constraints to automatically keep the pistons lined up during animations, as well as IK on the legs and tail. This asset was modelled, rigged and animated in Blender, then rendered in Unreal Engine using sequencer, where sound effects were also added. #3danimation #unrealengine #blender

Here's my final project for Film Editing Pro's "The Art of Trailer Editing" (https://lnkd.in/eTcexRcB) online course. I found the lessons on organization, workflow, visual and sound design techniques incredibly helpful. They provide really detailed breakdowns of various creative elements utilized in drama vs comedy vs horror trailers, and give insight into getting started and how to whittle down which moments you decide to show and what you decide to hide from your audience. The technical sections on cheating dialogue and cobbling lines was such a small tidbit, but a really mind-blowing tool that can be used in any form of editing. It packs information into easily digestible videos and provides an amazing set of assets with which to practice cutting your first spec trailer. Well-worth the price IMO. Check out the cut and let me know your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/eKAw7pgR
