Day 5 without a real computer

So I`ve been slumming it on a PC for the last couple days (thank the lord for my ipod or I would have gone postal) as my baby is at the doctors getting a new fan and DVD drive. As a result my blogging has, and will, suck.

in other news here are some delayed and incomplete posts


Marvel has announced Furys new mystery woman slah side kick. Apparently Colbie Smulders is in talks to play maria hill. My fingers are still crossed for Morena Baccarin to show up somewhere

More teasing about that greatest project ever.

I swear every other montht there is a different rumor about this book.



According to the good people over at Screen Rant screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Fringe, Transformers, 5-0) have gotten thier hands on Enders Game and are shoppping around a script. These boys as just gonna reboot everything! Honestly, I'm usually a fan of what they do and I love the book. I09 also made a comment about how the movie might be difficult to market, and I agree, the whole thing may not transfer well to the screen at all. Apparently they've got Gavin hood on board (X-men Origins) and they're making the rounds. I wonder of OSC is going to feel about this?

Happythankyoumoreplease

I actually want to see this.
I like the line about how he's middle class and that he has good parents, and therefore not a great artist. I can totally relate.

New Being Human Trailer

Wicked trailers like this just make me resent remakes even more. Why are they remaking this show in the Us when the original is still on the air. Apparently people I know who have auditioned for the show seem to indicate that everything will be pretty similar. *Sigh* My new life goal is to create some original content.

Mind you I still haven't finished series 2... I should get on that

Also can we talk about Cat Stevens being the sound track for this!?!? Random

David Duchovny Says X-Files 3 is Being Written

French website TVMag caught up with David Duchovny and asked him for an update on the third "X-Files" movie, which the actor previously said would focus on December 2012, an important date in the franchise.

"It is being written," said the actor, adding: "We're waiting for the green light from 20th Century Fox, which is a little disappointed by the relatively poor reception of the second film. The mistake, in my opinion, is that the writers strayed too far from the roots of the series. Plus the film was released in the summer. The third movie will be much closer to what the fans are used to, which is government conspiracies, etc..."

Both Duchovny and Gillian Anderson have expressed interest in returning for the third film, which is likely aiming to hit theaters at the end of 2012 to match up with the rumored "end of the world" storyline.

This would make my lifetime!

I also agree with David Duchovany comment on the second film. It deviated a bit too much from the tone and themes of the series. I don't even think the story line was evengood enough to warrant Scully and Mulder even being implicated, why would they both come out of retirement because some women went missing (not that thats not a big deal it's just not really their thing) after all htey've been to and all they walked away from I just don't see the case presented in IWTB as being credible. I'm sure the release of Dark Knight also had something to do with it but it is a good point. Fight the Future, was a much better and successful film, released at the height of the shows success, it introduced new mysteries and solved old one, it was much more in tune with the original series. I'd also like to see Doggett and Reyes in the new film... scratch that... just Doggett. I was shocked that they weren't even mentioned in "I Want to Believe" (unless I'm not remembering it correctly), even though I hated Reyes, I loved Doggett and I feel like the storyline felt a little empty with no metion of the actual X-Files.

My suggestion for the new film is, bring back Doggett, make Duchovny shape up (seriously he look tied and fat in IWTB), bring back the X-Files, and solve some of those pesky loose ends that were left at the end of the series. Also BRING BACK KRYCEK! Best Villian EVER!

Vampire Sluts

I find this rather hilarious and on the nose! I read Dracula last semester for my Vampires and Popular Culture Class and we discussed this at length. Vampirism and it's evolving metaphors.

Recent Work

So here is some pro bono stuff I've been working on!

Project Cross Match from Rachelle Hamilton on Vimeo.

For the Unite in the Fight non profit AE and I did this promo for one of their fundraisers. I'm actually really happy at how it turned out considering we shot it in two days and Final cut crashed on me and I had to use imovie (yes imovie) to chop and crop the whole thing together!




And this little number is for the Restaurant le Riverains annual breast Cancer fundraiser, which I again have the honour of taking part in. Great resto, even greater cause!

Gossip

So word on the street is that they're converting the entire Star Wars Saga into blu-ray for sale at Christmas and into 3D for a theatrical re release. I'd like that think that I'm above going to the theaters to see this, because of my dislike for 3D conversions, but who am I kidding? The chance to see Star Wars in theaters is just to great to pass up... I may have to get drunk to make it through Phantom Menace though.

Enders Game Movie!?!?

Full LA Times Article after the jump


Wow, Hopefully this rumor has legs. Enders game is by far my favorite Scifi book. And with Scott Card actually writing the script, this could be legit! OSC writing the script does surprise me as much as him allowing this to happen at all! Everything I've read about him on the subject of an Enders Game movie makes me think he is extremely wary of the process and does want his book to be ruined. and lets face it, who can blame him. Science fiction books, and books in general don't always translate well to film. For the longest time fans have had to settle with the OSC approved graphic novel. Maybe With OSC involved, this movie will get off the ground and wont be half bad... here's hoping.

Before and After

So I like to get crafty,
Here some before and after goodness I've been participating in.
I bought this set of chairs for 5$, they were shit brown, and ones had a faded yellow cushion and the other had a dirty white one.



So LF and I spray painted the bases white.

I then went to Faricville and picked up 2m's of this real cute fabric for like 5, and 2m of Therm-O-Webs Iron on Vinyl with cost me about 10$ (actually it ended up being 20 cause I have to go back for seconds as I messed it up the first shot. I cut out the right sized pieces, ironed on the vinyl, stapled the fabric over top the cushions and VOILA! SUCCESS!





I'm hopefully going to be able to keep these babies outside for at least another month, then I want to move them into my dining room or kitchen seeing as my current chairs are garbage (my next project, better chairs!).

This man changes my life and inspires me daily

I hadn't seen this yet. Love these people, and I love that he brought them all up o stage with him. He's just that kind of guy. Whedon, call me! I want a job!

Birth- O- Ween

Here's a ticket I designed for the 5th annual Birth- O-Ween celebrations. Every Year a friend of mine throws a birthday/halloween party (get it?) and the theme this year was comic book super heroes. People stretched the theme pretty far and it ended up being an awesome night, open bar, nough' said!

The ticket was hard because we first established that we wanted a long vertical strip with three panels. But when we finally found the image we liked (which took forever!) we had to reduce it to two. Also the original image has them all touching. So I had to duplicate the image, and then photoshop the girls out of the first panel and the weird dude out of the second panel. Then I had to duplicate the background and edit in all of the thought bubbles. Next we chose a font (very important), then designed a simple back to the ticket and VIOLA! Instant awesomeness (that took the better part of 4 hours).

Thanks again to Summer Jordan and Jon for the opportunity and from Pappy for the awesome blog, that I stole the photo from.

"There is no end to the problems I can solve on my back.."

That's a small snippet from the new Screenplay I'm writting. it's a piolt for a dramedy called [trash]. It's the story about a family living in a trailer park. Hopefully it will make for funny stuff. So far I'm on my 15th page and I need to have 20pages by tomorrow morning. I brave through and power forward!

I Was A Teenage Feminist

I was a teenage feminist from Rachelle Hamilton on Vimeo.

Found footage exercise edited on a Steenbeck.. So what this basically means is that we went through the old film library, canabalized the old reels, and hand cut and taped eveything together on one of these babies

We then did the same thing with the sound track and VOILA! A film collage! Because these things could only be shown on projecttor we had the whole thing digitalized and it is now available for you viewing pleasure!

Enjoy!

Oh also this was done during my feminist phase! good times!

I just realized that I never posted this

Welcome to the Copyleft

This is the new documentary by Brent Gaylor on the sub-culture of mashups and remixs. The whole film makes an argument for the freeing up of intellectual culture. Culture builds on itself and corporations owing all of our cultures intellectual property is wrong. Watch the vid (it's actually in chapters, so you may have to stream more then one of them) get informed and visit http://www.opensourcecinema.org/ for more on Brent Gaylor and remixing videos (you can actually go remix the whole movie) or http://creativecommons.org/ to see the different ways in which you can "custoumize" th copyrightng of your work.

P.S It's also super cool cause my class (COMS 274) participated in this doucmentary, we rotoscoped a bunch of the scenes, for the full vid:




ENJOY

My part (I got the crappy part, cause it's just him going nuts and you can barely tell what he's doing, but it still looks super cool) Comes in at about 1:15 and cuts out at like 1:19, It's short I know but thats because we literally had to animate it frame by frame!


Also because The Walt Disney Corp is the devil with copyright infringement, here is a halarious video that explains fair use through ripping off Disney movies, CLASSIC!
