short # 12: understanding infinity

used that polaroid thing to make lil fake polaroids of myself in stop motion with a dracula mask, skeleton glove, eating a knife... there is some more footage at the end of a sky and there is a weird red dot. i thin kit was something stuck to the camera lens, like a bird or something. either way, this video isn't finished and i don't plan on finishing it...

short # 13: excuse me, mister, is that a knife in your face?



Just your regular ol everyday VHS defect/glitch video. Also, a nice test of my new $30 camera...

I tried to comment on the Youtube page but I don't think it worked.

The beginning creeped me out (in a good way, of course) and the middle was just awesome. The end/title reminded me of this picture:






Also: LOVE YR CAT

I spent time watching several, all outstanding...!
My favorites (so far): Medicine Cabinet Skeleton Key, Poorly-Drawn Monsters, Staring Contest.

Thank you :)

This thread is weird, because nearly every girl on this board has replied or told me in PM's that they watched my films. Chicks dig experimental films!!

That's sexy.

I forced myself to watch them even if I hate watching stuff on the pc, and I liiiiike. almost all of them.
please do one titled "would you eat a pidgeon?".

Adam, yr work is on fire! What's next for you? I mean future projects and all.

Fuck yeah we do.

Oh, uh, well, what I'm currently doing is making 50 of these shorts.. so I have 31 more to make.. then I'm going to put them all together in one big film, with other little short transitional scenes, decaying weird footage of my girlfriend, and other scenes to tie all the shorts together. Basically, I started working on these shorts a few days after my girlfriend told me she was moving away and we'd have to break up for a while. She's going to be officially moved in 2 weeks. By that point, I'll probably have half the shorts done, and the other half will be done after she's gone. So, my next film will be kind of a "documentary" on my mental state during this time, and it's basically a true story, as I've been working on these shorts to keep myself sane during this rough time.

So, basically, I'm posting these shorts because they're all so unique and so different from each other, and I want people to see them, but the actual film will be about 30% of the shorts footage and then 70% stuff I've shot exclusively for the film. Some of the shorts will be extended, shortened, cut up, etc. Basically, I'm just making them without any thought of a "flow" to the film and I'm going to make them "flow" a bit better when the film is finished (though obviously it's still going to be a bit insane and all over the place).

After I finish the film, which should be between 60-80 minutes of insanity, I'm going to sell 'em for like $10 a pop (maybe cheaper.. I won't be actually selling 'em, I'm having my friend do it, and I'll have my own page for my films on his .com site soon). For people who don't want to buy it, I'll upload the whole thing to youtube or something too.

All together, with the shorts and the additional footage I've shot that no one's seen, I've finished about 40 minutes of the film. So, I'd consider myself halfway done.

My next film, after this one, will be called MAKE IT BE A WARM DAY (named after, and based on, a "short story" of mine I posted on here a while back). I need to hurry up and finish this one so I can film that one, as I want to film it completely in the snow. It's going to likely be an extremely dark, depressing, moody film. Very slow, quiet, probably all in black and white. Basically, the exact opposite of everything I've done so far. I want to make the most depressing film ever.

Thanks for the continued support and interest, everyone!

short # 21: nature!!

Kind of beautiful. I never thought I'd say that about something from the house of Cooley. (I mean that in the best possible way!)

haha thanks.

i'm, uh "progressing" haha.

I haven't been working on anything too substantial.. I'm mainly trying to work on a minimalist approach to these things, I'm not spending any more than 30 minutes on 'em lately (the first one of these took probably 45 minutes, I just quickly snapped 150 photos without even thinking about it)... I'll do something with more substance soon, anyway.. enjoy:

I really love nature. Birds and plants.

There's a long shot of a dead turtle in the original video but I took that out of the clip I put on youtube. It'll be in the film itself though..

I tried to make a really quick stop motion drawn animation last night, but it keeps going fucky when I export it. :( It looks fine when I play it before I save it though. mvoiemaker sucks.

With pictures by Cansatankerous!

Honestly, I think the "shorts" are done for. I've put 30 on youtube and done about 30 more that I haven't uploaded yet so I think I have enough to make up my next film so I'm going to start working on that.

eh I might post a few more.

This was filmed while fucked up on Ambien and everything LOOKS LIKE Ambien. I did it in 5 minutes. Frightening shit.

Finally I've been watching some of these, and they are fucking brilliant! Pm coming your way.

Hey, that's the highest compliment ever coming from you. THanks.

coming soon, part 2 in the no trilogy:

Continuously awesome shit! Throwing Rocks/Shadow Puppets = too cool

thank you.

I just bought some playdough I need to use for my next short.

Oh! You you would not believe what an expert I am at playdoh!

haha
