The mûxìk experience pt.3

Hello, again!

Like I mentioned previously in this blog, I was asked by my friends (Goyo, Castillo & Ordu) to record their band's private live show. And I did. It was a totally new experience for me, although I had already done something similar before when I was in middle school. Directing a live performance or event is a bitch! Explaining to your camera people what type of shots you want, telling them you don't want zoom-in's or zoom-out's all the time, "keep the camera steady" type of instructions... need I go on?

Anyway, it turned out pretty ok. As most of my work, it is all saved in the editing room. There's still a pretty long way to go. I'm only halfway done with the whole freakin' thing! It runs up to an hour ERT (estimated running time). You understand my pain? No, you don't.

We we're supposed to upload some of the songs by now. We kinda did, but fucking Youtube screwed up the video codec and we had to take it down. So expect a new upload soon. In the mean time, I have taken the liberty of posting some screen caps. ENJOY!

"TESTIFY! The Road to a Genetic Opera"

Boy, that was a long break! Sorry folks, a lot has happened in my life that has kept me from posting on this blog. Anyways, down to business!

Now I had this project in a shelf for some months and I finally got around to it.
I was assigned a documentary for my screenwriting class, so I took the shot and turned "RRT3" into a 30 min "wanna-be" documentary (my first actually).

What I am trying to do with this video is to show what Repo! is. It is basically Ralqui and me on our way to L.A for RRT3, in that time there's an explanation and back story of Repo! (very general aspects) and how I discovered it. There's some footage of RRT3 and various videos (of which I don't own the rights!).

Anyways, I thought it to be a pretty decent piece of work and will try to upload it if I can (I'm afraid of all the lawsuits involved due to copyright). Here are some screencaps. Enjoy!
