Makin a DVD


DVD, originally uploaded by jamie_derooy.

Soon, I'll be making a dvd of my demo-reel to hand out to industry folk. Not much else to say, this is pretty much just a test to see if the picture works.

**shakes fist**

Now work, damn you!

The Night Factor

I find now that I'm goinng to sleep at four in the morning and getting up at noon, sometimes two in the afternoon. I suppose not having a job now could be described as a vacation without the awesome perks of a vacation.

For some time now, i've been thinking of a movie idea, something that I thought would be a neat idea and in the past day or so, so many idea's hava came forth which prompted me to begin writing the whole story. I know the beginning, I know the ending,I know what should be in the main length of the story but I need to research it to make it worth watching and worth writing. It's not worth writing a story about something you don't know as much about as you should so you can make the people who know it all happy.

My Idea is about the rebirth of Christ in today's age. That's all i'll say here.

One thing that sleep deprivation has come with for me has been an extremely overactive brain. Too many idea's coming in too fast, so I write them down so I don't forget them because there are some idea's that are really good! But when I try to go to sleep at night, I always go through a mind boggle of idea's and can only get to sleep after my mind has travelled around the world 14.7 times.

I'm glad my mind works that way though. Getting less sleep, but having this kind of creative experience is worth it. Hopefully the day this stops isn't until I've made a good name for myself somewhere important.

Thy Workshop's Mandate of doom and such

First and foremost, this blog is dedicated to two things. First being a place where I write short stories off the top of my head in hopes that I can turn it into something else later on, and second, a place to write about crap that at times can be so random that you never know what's going to come up. Getting excited? Keep your pants on.

Writing a few stories now. One is about how the intelligence community started and another that could be about vampires, but i need to do some research before i do that one. I don't like very many Vampire movies, but i'd like to make one that people can define as THE vampire movie. But as of yet.....i got nothin.

One day i am going to get a digital camera and i am going to take it everywhere. I'll be like the kid with the Xylophone walking all around the house that drives his parents mad, but with a camera. I borrowed my sisters camera today and took 30 pictures. Why? Because i could!

One more party, maybe two then i'm done with alcohol until my birthday and after that, at least a month. I've been drinking too much lately and i'm going to slow that down like a grandma doing 40 on the highway on a Sunday. Well, maybe not that slow....but, definately not the speed limit.
