OMGWTF! Furries Saga - Season 1: Revenge of the Yiff - Episode 4 (Season Finale)
After a short holiday hiatus (and a Season's Greetings from Pagan Stepdad), we return with the "thrilling" "conclusion" to the first season of OMGWTF! Furries SaGa.



As their journey finally begins, Robert brings Martino to a mysterious furry guru who can set him upon a path to furlightenment. Tio Koggey's dilemma with Silvermoon Lonewolf, having begun to seriously strain AnimalCon's resources, finally comes to a resolution - or does it?

OMGWTF! Furries Saga - Season 1, Episode 3: Revenge of the Yiff (Part III)


Before beginning his journey with Martino, Robert provides a taste of his family life and a familiar face returns. It proves to be the beginning of a fateful night when Tio Koggey must accept the blunders of his subordinates as blunders of his own. Meanwhile, in a gripping instance of life imitating art, Umgotts Studios gets a visitor with a dire message: that they are awful and need to stop making their unfunny videos.

In this successor to the original OMGWTF! Furries documentary, the consequences left throughout our culture for years after the original piece was completed. Some of the original cast returns. Some of the original cast has been brutally murdered. A dangerous enemy is at large, and Umgotts Studios is gearing up to release another stupid home movie. Meanwhile, a curious young man on a quest for justice, revenge, and vengeance is about to make his first foray into the furry fandom.

Watch this week as we continue to meet the cast, including not-quite-furry Martino and the illustrious illustrator Robert, while Tio Koggey faces a press conference undaunted by the sheer idiocy of it all.

Man BItes God Music Video Competition
Thought you guys might be interested in this...

Australian band, Man Bites God, are bribing aspiring film makers with a chance to win AU$500 by making a music video featuring a Man Bites God song of their choice.

“A number of fans have made their own music videos for the band over the last few years and we wanted to recognise their efforts with a competition”, explains the band’s drummer and professional video director Chris Tomkins. “We’re not expecting anything amazingly polished for the $500 prize, we just want to see what great ideas are out there.”

The competition runs until November and is a simple as choosing a Man Bites God song, making a video and uploading to Man Bites God’s YouTube channel in order to be judged in November.

The band are looking for anything from surreal to literal, live-action, machinema, animation or some other technique that hasn’t been invented yet.

Details of the competition are available on the band's website http://www.manbitesgod.com or by watching the video on their youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/manbitesgod.

Selling Footage
Got a question. A filmmaker is looking to buy two different clips from me. One is a 30 second clip, the other is a 60 second clip. It's for a documentary and he's got a lot of corporate backing. He wants to use these clips both in the trailer and in the actual production.

My problem is I don't know how much to charge him for the clips. I want to charge a price that's fair, but also enough that I'm not taken to the cleaners or kicking myself later. Any thoughts?

Assistance in buying equipment:
I need help finding locations that I can either buy in person, or order online, NEW lighting equipment. I also need to find a citable source for gauging the average pay for specific crew positions.

Can anyone help me?

Application for Membership
Name: Derek J. Power (although i'm posting as this, i'm better known as djproject)

Age/Date of Birth: 6 September 1982, currently 23

What do u do when you work on films (indie or Pro) (producing, directing, editing, acing, sound, grips, camera....Etc.)?
The rub is that I currently have not done a full film production from beginning to end. Right now, I have done just writing (and I'm still in that stage) and taking the first steps to prepare for production. I anticipate directing, operating the camera/working on the sound and editing.

10 Bands: (there's going to be some individual projects on there) Autechre, Blur, Enigma, Explosions in the Sky, The Mars Volta, Nine Inch Nails, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Vangelis

10 Movies: Andrei Rublyov, Au hasard Balthazar, A Clockwork Orange, High Fidelity, Le Mépris [Contempt], Le Passion de Jeanne d'Arc, The Producers, Ran, The Shining and Wings of Desire

Editing Software? (if any): I anticipate using Final Cut Pro

Opinions [DETAiLS]: Oh I've got opinions. For a sampling, go to facebook_cinema

best Movie of ALL time: either Andrei Rublyov or Le Passion de Jeanne d'Arc

Pirating?
Do I get booty? =] Seriously, if you are making money off of other people's work, that's piracy. This means that distributors are pirates =]

Best Camera? - in the film realm, I would go for Arriflex (versatility); in the DV realm, I would lean toward Canon XL2

have you ever worked pro?: Nope

ever worked overnight?: Yes but not on a film

Going to film School?: Stanley Kubrick School of Film

ever cried at the end of a production?: Not yet =]

What productions have you worked on?: Currently I'm the production of Omvendelsen

Have you worked pro... if so with whom and on what?: No

Why you should be accepted, & why exactly you applied: Meet with other filmmakers, seeking out advice for all kinds of things that I know will come to bite me in the ass =]

tell us a story about anything (to do with film) that might interest us..
Although I've not been in a film production, there have been moments where I've done small productions for class assignments. In high school, I had to do a group project for AP American History and it was a review of the Industrial Revolution/Progressive Era. For one scene, we decided to do a skit on Pres. W.H. Taft doing "trust-busting." Ian Marley was playing Taft and we stuffed him with pillows to give him the bulge. The way he played him was muscle man a la Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was going to provoke all the industrialists, like Andrew Carnegie. I played the Scotsman but interestingly I needed up looking like an Irishman with my fighting stance. He simply pushed me back. What was amusing was that I was surprised by how much force he exuded onto me (the padding gave him more inertia than he would normally have... transfer of momentum) and when he pushed me, he really pushed me far. I'm also tall as well so my centre of gravity sucks.

Email Address? see the profile for djproject

Something interesting below...... about your influences?
I finally have a top five director list that I can be comfortable with for a while (and soon I'll expand it to a top ten): Stanley Kubrick, Andrei Tarkovsky, Robert Bresson, Jean-Luc Godard and Lars von Trier.

Oh and this better not turn into a fuckyoucrew affair =]

HELP!
I'm used to using AVID. I've never used any other editing software. But you can only edit DV on AVID. My boyfriend is making a video for some class and the camera he has uses 8mm.

Does anyone know what software I should download to edit 8mm???

Any help would be nice.

Thanks.

Storing DV Footage?
Hey there! I've been doing DV filmmaking since February, and, in that time, have accumulated some 100 gigabytes of footage on my hard drive. File sizes vary from just under a gig to about six. I was going to start backin them up on DVD today, but the file structure of the ISO format doesn't support most of the large files.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way of backing everything up for archival purposes? Should I encode it to standard DVD format, which will be time-consuming and use enough DVDs that it might be better off just buying a hard drive to copy everything onto (which is doubly expensive should I want to have a backup copy of them). I was considering encoding everything into high-quality DivX, and although I've used it to distribute short films and sketches online, I'm not sure of its value for archival purposes. I'm probably going to want to use most or all of this footage again at some point, for things like making ofs, bonus features on DVDs, or random clips.

I've since begun keeping my original DV tapes intact, but unfortunately that won't help for things I've already copied onto my computer and taped over.

Any suggestions, folks? Thanks in advance!

Something interesting below...... about your influences? Ozu without a doubt. The man is a cinematic genius, and forever changed the way i look at film making. He seems thing as lines and shapes, not as objects and creates art through a moving medium. And probably the gaffer on Miike's "Audition", one of the most beautifully lit films i've ever seen. There are to many influences to sit here and write, mainly because they are all influential for many different reasons.
