I also think I'm going to start taking this "seriously", so should I build a webpage?

Yeah, make a webpage. But try and stay away from angelfire or whatever? Haha, I dunno.

short # 9: lord of weeping ribcages
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFizA...e=channel_page

An epic tale about scissor fights, raining blood ribcages, skull demons with mouth caves where Satanists are creating singing women. This could easily be stretched out to an hour. But nah.

atsonicpark 08.05.2009 05:13 AM

I'm going to have .com website soon.. It's just basically going to list what I've done, what I'm doing, and how to order my movies. What's a good price for an hour long dvd-r? $10?

TheFoxBen 08.05.2009 06:20 AM

Mh, I would say $10 is a bit much but you decide.

BTW, "Lord of weeping ribcages" is cool :D

You lost the staring contest at 47 - 48 seconds

And can you explain to me how the sounds explain the story?

Most independant filmmakers sell their films for a good $15-20. I think $10 is a good price, since it covers shipping, packaging, the dvd's themselves, the art, the dot com site, the effort to make the films, then.. you know, in the end, I might get $2 profit to fund the next one I do. I'd like to even eventually pay my actors something too.. and maybe even advertise.

See, that's another thing. After I finish my next film, I'm going to buy a 50 pack of dvd-r's and send my movie to tons of experimental-film-releasing "studios", as well as to zines/reviewers/etc. Maybe even submit it to some little festivals and shit. That is going to cost me lots of money, so it'd be cool to get a little bit of money in order to be able to fund my ability to do that stuff :)

Still, $10 does seem a bit much, I agree. But if it were, say, $5, I'd be losing money on every one I send out. I'll always have the films posted on the internets for people to see, but some people want the actual disc with the art and stuff.

Well it's not actually a literal "staring contest", since we both blink. We're both staring at something unexplained.

No. I can't explain the sounds and how they tell the story. It's pretty self-explanatory... heheh. I hate to do one of those, "What do YOU think it means?" things but... I have my own personal interpretation.

You've gone all John and Yoko now. This is deeply worrying.

atsonicpark 08.05.2009 07:47 AM

Haha, huh?

I'm just doing experimental little shorts... I'm trying to make 'em all different. That's the point of experimenting!!

TheFoxBen 08.05.2009 07:52 AM

No, he's right, it's totally à la John and Yoko !

He's going to put a picture of himself and his girlfriend naked on the cover of the DVD !

atsonicpark 08.05.2009 07:54 AM

Well, if it helps, I love Two Virgins.

Satan 08.05.2009 07:55 AM

these are awesome, keep it up. seriously.

your girlfriend is really really pretty by the way.

atsonicpark 08.05.2009 07:56 AM

Hah. Well, she probably won't be my girlfriend much longer, but thank you. I've been able to enjoy her beauty for 6 1/2 years now, at least.

Me too, but i thought we talking about your worrying John and Yoko turn.

atsonicpark 08.05.2009 07:59 AM

The next film I do is going to have my girlfriend brushing her teeth and combing her hair. It's going to be cool. I'm going to make her look beautiful. I want the world to see her like I do. All these little shorts I'm doing are going to be in the film, too. The film is going to be about a relationship.

My filmmaking hero, Giuseppe Andrews, sent me a letter Monday. He'd watched can't or won't not and he wrote the most peculiar statement. He wrote "thanks, your thing was wacked. i loved the SOUND EFFECTS." with 'SOUND EFFECTS' being highlighted by a highlight and marked under a thousand times. Found that really touching.

atsonicpark 08.05.2009 08:06 AM

you know how to make a guy feel good.

Satan 08.05.2009 08:08 AM

....you could say that

barry swedgin 08.05.2009 08:18 AM

The music in the films is, overall, awesome. Is it released stuff, or your own 'noises'?

atsonicpark 08.05.2009 08:27 AM

thanks. it's usually just stuff I've made for the video.

Anngella 08.05.2009 08:44 AM

I watched and enjoyed all of the ones you posted here. Some of them gave me a sort of eerie feeling (especially the staring contest one) which, to me, is a good thing - it's something I often try to do with some of my photography and, well, I just like it.
I look forward to your future work.

atsonicpark 08.05.2009 08:44 AM

thx

short # 10: scream
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-i2M...e=channel_page

Just a simple video showing a silent scream from Casper.

Satan 08.06.2009 09:43 AM

:D :D :D :D

phoenix 08.06.2009 09:44 AM

Satan 08.06.2009 09:47 AM

adam i'm gonna go do more now

atsonicpark 08.06.2009 09:49 AM

sweet! thanks!!

if i ever make any money from this i'll mail you a few bucks (so you can buy new lipstick).

Satan 08.06.2009 10:11 AM

don't send me any money! i don't even wear lipstick

i'm actually eating but i actually will film more as long as you don't care if i look like a junkie/zombie because i haven't washed my hair in a minute and i don't have any makeup on and can't be arsed to make myself look sexy today

atsonicpark 08.06.2009 10:29 AM

haha actually yeah the more junkie'd out you look, the better.

There doesn't need to be any consistency between how you look between scenes... it'll be more interesting this way.

Satan 08.06.2009 10:31 AM

sweet maybe i'll do a couple lines before i shoot
jk

i'm done eating now so i'm gonna go forth and talk on camera

nicfit 08.06.2009 10:39 AM

I'd buy a dvd.
To be honest, I kinda hate watching stuff on the pc, no matter how good the stuff is.

short # 11: phone calls from "friends"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD6IQNUlzks

This was just an experiment in mixing live action with "animation". The phone calls are from Satan.

atsonicpark 08.11.2009 11:53 AM

made some new scenes today for the next film, I won't be putting 'em on youtube probably but if you want to see 'em:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wzwmmyzmomk
this is me in a cowboy hat going "HOW YA DOIN GOD? HOW YA DOIN'?" intercut with me messing with various bizarre defects from a broken up .avi file on a computer, hooked to a tv screen.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mgzqzg5nnwh
this is me smoking and some footage of me driving, sped up and silent. wowwww.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?gzrmzvltho2
it's a 5 1/2 minute diagloue between me and some kind of weird native american wolf mask. we talk about spirituality and its dangers, stress control, the 4th eye, enlightenment through existential suicide, etc.

fun fun.

This Is Not Here 08.11.2009 11:54 AM
