Ultimate Cleaning Power!!!

Our newest short, made for the 48 Hour Film Project (New York).
With a crew of two (David and Kim), new gear, and a new editing system (to accommodate the new gear) we chugged through a weekend of filming.
We first drew Musical or Western and didn’t really have the cast, props, crew, song writing ability for either of those, so we re-drew and got Martial Arts or Stoner film. Another really difficult/weird choice!
We came up with a really goofy Martial Arts film, and had fun making it. Not our most polished piece, but a good time was had by all.
Kyle Walters (Kyle Walters) is a lazy, watchin’ tv kinda guy. Benjamin Grimes (Alan MacDougall) has an epic past of trial and triumph in the world of Martial Arts. Today, Grimes uses his training and concentration from his years in the martial arts as a Professional Organizer, and pays a visit to Kyle’s messy apartment.
Also starring Brian Morvant (Bringing up Bobby) and Vince Ortega (Mamma Mia! on Broadway).
Elements:
Character: Benjamin Grimes, Professional Organizer
Prop: Set of keys
Line: “You’re not going to believe what I just heard”

Since Danny Jelinek has posted high-quality versions of his show for Channel101:LA on Youtube, I am pleased to be able to post it here. It’s one of the better creations for the format in some time. It’s fun to watch, awesomely trippy, and has a great soundtrack. If you like them, make sure to support Danny by rating, subscribing, and letting him know!
10 Ways to Get Cheap/Free Labor for Your Shoot Without Being a Mooch
Posted by David in Commentary, Post, Production on August 18th, 2009
I love Craigslist. From a filmmaker’s standpoint it’s a great place to find people, buy and sell gear, and keep yourself in the know about local productions. However, being a free service it’s become overrun with moochers looking for free labor, skilled crew positions and even their gear. This has begun spilling over into the larger industry job boards (such as Mandy.com) and is simply put poisoning the well of jobs for recent graduates and low-level professionals.
