Out-take made me laugh.

I enjoyed the Mrs. Lysaker album more...
I have to admit, Macintosh, that video you made of her a while back on the stairs was pure artistic genius!

Seriously though, I made the Lysaker videos because me and my friends thought it would be funny, some people here liked it too, most didnt. Nobody gets me it seems. I am not trying to be mean with those videos they are just percieved that way by certain personalities. Some kid a while back got in trouble for making a hate website about Lysaker. My website is not a hate one, that i can guarantee.

I am a nice film-maker, if you can call it that!

classic, you got flamed, but still..

The Lady In Red is being re-released for prime time. You will enjoy it if you like Dhuge Production greats such as Lysaker, Switcher, K-PAX, and Tricycle (my latest epic). It will be up soon and when it is I will edit in a link.

Dont flame me for what I do, its all perfectly legal, so far.

Ooh, a ScanTron. Classy.

Don't flame the kid. It was innocent fun. I mean there is something kinda wrong with it, but really, try and see it in a humorous light. As a matter of fact look for the good stuff in everything, it will make you feel better.

I am kinda depressed right now, things went all to hell with Abegail, the only girl I ever really cared for. So instead of moping around, I am trying to just enjoy the good stuff in everything. Otherwise I become extraordinarily cynical and dark, and start mumbling quotes from shakespeare, and dante's inferno, or edgar allan poe. You really have to meet me to know what I am like when I get like this. Seriously, I start wearing all black, get really sarcastic, almost crazy.

And then there is this, the way I am trying to be right now.

I am Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, and it takes a lot not to turn into him, Jekyl...

Ok, so don't flame him. We have been over this. Enjoy it

Enjoy life.

Enjoy life.<hr /></blockquote>I appreciate the support but dude, people can critique me as much as they want to. I always look for fun in things and I am usually more happy because of that. If they want to be pessimistic and angry let them be. I do what i do and if some people enjoy it then thats a bonus for me. I think of myself like Andy Kauffman thought of himself; he was the intended audience for his own comedy. Thats how I am. I make things that I enjoy watching over and over again because chances are that somebody else might just think that what I do is funny to.

I should really use Final Cut Pro 3 (which i have) to do a green screen thing to make the background pure white. Is that hard to do? I woul dprobably have to re-shoot without the shadows though.

MacAgent · Jun 12, 2002, 12:21 AM

You don't need a blue screen to make a pure white background...

I just finished (well, finishing credits tomorrow, then done) a short film tonight called White Room, that takes place almost entirely in a, well, white room. Basically, you get a lot of white fabric and overexpose the image slightly to get rid of shadows/wrinkles. Also, you can chroma key the white in FCP and put a white BG behind it. Bingo, white. In fact, that would almost definitely look better than blue/green screening. I ran a few tests first and they all came out crappily with a blue screen, so I redid it with just the white fabric. Then again, I had the use of a large gallery to make my film, so...

ANYWAY, I should post my film here tomorrow.

I must say it is the best ad spoof of yours to date. Felt a lot line one of the new ad's.

I will probably take another hack at it with trying to get a realistic Apple background and then lay the idea to rest. I thinnk i hit a home run with this one and I know i will be enjoying it for a long time!

I like congratulating myself.

Even when i dont eve deserve it (like now)

Now I am rambling. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

P.S. it was me that starred in this little brain child of mine.
