Some new pics..sorry about the delay

Nothing really cool to post lately. Been listening to lot's of composers trying to figure out who really want to go that extra mile to make something better than just just good. Sometimes I feel like a wasting my time spending so much time with people who have never done a movie score. I'm trying to find that talented guy who never got his chance to write a soundtrack to show people that he can do it.

Basically I send these guys clips and just figure them out. Some are quick to give me music. Some can't play quicktime movies. Some give me a minute and are either too scared or too lazy to write the whole scene. Then there was this ballsy guy who promised music in a two days...and delivered...it was OK. Then got realized he got himself in over his head and had the balls to tell me he didn't want to ruin my movie and he didn't think he could pull the workload. Too bad more people aren't honest with themselves and other like he was.

I quickly tried to convince him to help me with sound FX and he might bite.

Anyway sorry I'm so slow. Sorry Mitch and Simon for missing Fantasia this year. It's coming along and getting better by the day as I start to work with more talented sound folk.

Sorry no posts lately been doing the kind of stuff I can't show you. Oh yeah and there's a (5 minute) hidden scene somewhere on Vimeo. Good Luck finding it.

Thanks to all the composers who keep sending in some great stuff. Looks like we're gonna pick someone soon. Getting close....

This is where the magic gets done

Cries of joy....Shrieks of pain all come this place. Two separate computers. The black box up high is the speedy main machine. AMD 6000+ dualcore, 4 gigs pc800 ram, nvidea 8600 video card, blackmagic Intensity card, 4 WD hard drives (the boot drive is a 10,000rpm raptor and each drive is named after a member of Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch). This computer is named JOHN MILIUS.

The other fulls size computer has basically the same specs it just has slower processor (3800 dual-core and a nvidea 7300). This one has it's hard drives named after members of the Reservoir Dogs. The computer's name is named CHAN-WOOK PARK.

The two widescreen monitors on the left are run by the faster computer. When two people are working here, whoever is working on the left slower computer is essentially 'riding bitch'.

And here's my a signed copy of my CREEPSHOW poster I got.
