CinematogReel

Now, the 2nd Demo Reel of mine has been posted at YouTube (and thus, at this website), this time for Cinematography. It's worth celebrating with a shout: Hooray!

The thing that always takes awhile with these projects isn't necessarily the choice of what clips to put in 'em, but composing the musical soundtrack for them. I never want the reason the demo reel can't be shown merely to be due to an unoriginal musical piece, and I like to write music! It can just take awhile. This soundtrack was particularly experimental in that there are 7 beats per measure...

Ah hell, here's the 1st Demo Reel, for Directing, to boot!

3rd Site, Part I

As you may have noticed by now, if you're capable of reading this very text, our site has transferred both its Home Page and News Blog to a new site: directorG.uuuq.com. While the address is slightly longer, it was necessary for several reasons: 1) This News Blog takes up more space than you'd think -- at least 11 MB, 2) I needed a 3rd site that actually permitted FTPing files, which the 2nd site (jimthzz.bingodisk.com/public) simply wasn't capable of, 3) It was free, and 4) No Ads!

So, call it a celebration of sorts, as anything that's free (and means it) is a worthy cause. We'll see how well it works; it took nearly 2 weeks before it would let me register. Also, I'm having to put this main index page on there, too, so that I don't use an iFrame to insert the News Blog to another site's page (since it gets iFramed to the bottom of the main page regardless of where it's located...!).

The original links of directorG.com and directorG.com/news (for now, at least) will stay the same, and you'll get redirected to the new Zymic ones.

100th New News Blog Post!

One year, three months and five days: that's how long it took to reach this blog! That's actually not that bad, considering how often new News Blog blog entries are posted...

To commemorate this achievement, we're doing something special. As a movie production company, we obviously love movies when they're well-made! Embedded below's a good group of well-made films from across the board that were personally selected by yours truly for this special occasion. Many ended up being animation; go figure!

Blogiversary

Today, it has officially been one year of successfully utilizing the concept of a blog to convey news articles on this site. It seems like time to celebrate! What could be worthy of displaying? Hrm... How 'bout a YouTube clip from one of the best shows ever on television?

Oh yeah, and of course:

BTW, Blogiversary and Blagojevich are not the same thing, in case you baffled folks were wondering! NOT related topics! :-)
