Grifin News and Discussions / 16 to Life Filmmakers at Sept 11 meeting
« Last post by Suzie on September 07, 2010, 11:35:08 PM »
This week's meeting is going to be something very cool. The writer/director, a few actors, and at least one of the producers from the movie 16 TO LIFE will be at our meeting. They will have clips from the movie, the music video, and will be answering our questions about their film and their careers.

Drag yourself out of bed, bring a buddy (or group of friends) and take advantage of the chance to ask these people questions about being filmmakers.

If you want to see the movie before getting to ask them questions, you're in luck, it will premiere Friday night at Mindframe and play at least a week.

It was filmed all on location in Iowa. Saturday there will be cast and crew at the GRIFIN meeting answering questions.

If you are too lazy or too busy to make the free-to-the-public meeting, there will be a Q&A between the 7 and 9 PM showings. The writer/director and lead female actor, and others will just be at the meeting (10 AM Mindframe) but there will be supporting actors and the producers at the Saturday night screening.

Some of these people are from Iowa, some from LA. They've worked multiple movies and on TV shows like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, CSI, The Young and the Restless, Private Practice, . . . check IMDB this is already going long and you get the picture.

I suggest coming Saturday morning and seeing what they have to say and I'll bet you want to see the movie.

Take care,
Suzie

The Screening Room / How to embed YouTube and Vimeo videos on the forum
« Last post by Andy on September 06, 2010, 01:47:57 PM »
To embed a YouTube or Vimeo video, copy the url of the video (www.youtube.com/blah_blah_blah....) and paste it into your post.

So far this has only been tested with YouTube and Vimeo. 

If you have any questions, send an email to grifinforum@gmail.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Grifin News and Discussions / Mikhal Robert's in a film

For those of you who missed it like I did, there was an article recently in the TH about a local actor who's made a film. Mikhal Roberts went to Senior and graduated in 2004 with Beth Wright. I found a link to the movie's trailer. Congrats Mikhal!

This guy makes great indi film making stuff.  I have used the focus pullers and rod systems, they are SWEET and not overly expensive.  And he's based out of Waterloo IIRC.

Gearhead Heaven / Re: camera phone hack - macro lens

that is pretty f-n cool actually - I was predicting it to suck  ;D   I am waiting for US cellular to release the HTC droid, supposed to be out soon.  I'll have to see if the same lens hack works.  I know there's a junk DVD burner around here somewhere...

Somebody get to work on a script about gnats that take over the universe!  No CGI needed!
