It boggles my mind that even though it is by far one of the most limited ways to mix audio, I am far FAR quicker mixing in Avid than anything else. I tried Fairlight and it just seemed to struggle under its own logic a lot. Cubase felt a bit awkward (though I love it for music mixing). #nerdalart

🎬 We’re in post-production for Preacher Six and need a little help. 🎬
A small-town preacher battles evil in a gritty, action-packed world. Think Taxi Driver meets Sin City with a touch of The Prophecy.

I got both my flu and Covid jab yesterday and boy howdy is there no doubt about that. No one ask me for anything from the top shelf for awhile, my arms are very much in recovery.

I don’t like how runny sweaty me feels better than toasty comfy me.

I thought I saw something about a mad long version and figured it was just a few of the films jammed together. I can't imagine an extra 2 hours added to the film, but damn if I'm not interested!

YESSSS!!!! It really felt like a video in search of a topic, all the while cherry picking quite heavily for its own narrative.

I have a few entries in the I'm Haunted series to check out, but I've been enjoying them so far. Near is totally new to me, I must get it on my radar ASAP!

There’s some real gems that could easily fly under the radar alright!

I'll say nothing... (except I love Found TV. Some real gems there! And the folks who run it are proper big found footage fans)

Thank you! The tape really was the side of it I was really drawn to myself. You didn't hear this from me, but if you liked Distort, you might want to keep your eyes peeled over the next few months for something very much related... πŸ‘€ (I use far too many emojis)

Hey, I know 2 found footage horrors that are living and ready to thrive via Relay if you are willing to forget the Flix and give indie a go!

It finally happened; I forgot to pay for my parking at the train station this morning. I’ve since paid through the app, but now it’s Shrodingers Parking Ticket while I see if I got it paid in time or not.

Like sorry if it makes you uncomfortable but if Irish society lost its unique features (language, cultural practices, etc), it WOULD simply be less Irish.
"I'm not less Irish because I don't speak Irish" big picture please!! It's not all about you!!

I loath the idea of lulling people onto a project by acting like it’ll be all fun and unicorns. Hopefully it will, but this is the Irish winter. We’re talking Game of Thrones level of harshness here and I don’t want any of my warriors under the wrong impression here. Winter IS coming.

It’s pretty blatant I am about to shoot a new found footage film, and all I can wonder is, is it self-sabotage that I am VERY clear about what kind of shoot it will be with people approaching me, as opposed to just saying β€œit’ll be fun and easy! We’ll have la croix πŸ€©β€.

Popping it up out there for anyone who might be interested again! I’m making some choices on other roles and my god, am I having struggles not continuously going β€œoh but this person could be awesome too…” in my decisions! Casting, eh??

CASTING CALL
ULTRA LOW BUDGET
HORROR FEATURE FILM PAID (LOW DAILY RATE)
North Wicklow. Mid-December.
Contact: weirdprettypictures@gmail.com
The role: Lily, 25-40. The director of the documentary. Determined. Level-headed.
Open-minded and needing to find out if the events of the first film were real.
IMPORTANT: This is a very low budget shoot with extremely minimal crew and a large portion of it takes place outside during the Irish winter, with there being filming during night time and very possibly in rain. It gives the potential for some good character work, but can also be a faster and rougher experience than a traditional set. Please do not apply if this doesn't suit your situation. Thanks!

I was supposed to be going to Newcastle for a get together I was very excited for but circumstances meant I had to bail on. Instead, it’s nearly 4am and I am hanging with one of my dearest friends having the kind of night you need every now and again for the soul. I am emo, but also appreciative.

Ok well after some not so great weeks and plan changes that kinda broke my heart, I woke up to a message to something extremely exciting and pretty immediate. It looks like the universe does in fact open a window sometimes.
