Today’s episode of Film Riot is brought to you by domain.com
Today on Film Riot we talk freebies once again help you know your lingo and randomly cut
to Josh dancing.
Welcome to Film Riot Mondays, I’m your host Ryan Connolly and someone send me a tweet
the other day on my twitter and this tweeter had a question in his tweet that he tweeted
to me and here it is:
‘I know you’ve done a lot of giveaways and freebies.
Any chance of getting one episode that rounded up where I could get them all?’
I’m a lover, not a fighter.
A diplomat, not at instigator and I like this idea, so yeah, go Socks and Yankees.
Let’s jump right in, first is October 2009, I put up some unedited footage for you guys
to be able to download and mess with however you wanted.
This is different from all the other freebies, but still a good one so if you want it go
to this link, download, and edit away.
Next up is from July 2010 it is from an episode where I drank seven Red Bulls and almost had
my heart explode from extreme hyper activity.
Anyway, in this episode we do sniper scope effect and then offer the layover for you
to download to use in your projects, free of charging you any monies for it.
So download the scope here if you want it and use it to snipe stuff legally.
On September 24, 2010 we released an episode talking about story boarding and in said episode;
I gave you this link which is where you can download story board template for you to get
started in visualizing your film.
Isn’t that just lovely?
It is lovely, it’s pretty.
Moving on to 2011, in June, out of an extreme amount of excitement over Super 8 getting
released we did an effect to make our digital video look like super 8 mm film and in that
episode we give you this link to download the project we created in after effects and
showed you how to use it.
So you can get all seven of these on your project.
Boom, so groovy yo.
Then again in June, since we are feeling oh so generous, I showed you guys the production
paperwork work I used for Tell, then again dropped some download action on you, like
a monk drops wisdom on an avatar.
So go to this download link and do some downlinking.
Use the paper work to get all paper worky.
Yeah, use them.
In July, with the left over fireworks we had lying around, I decided to create my own gun
fire effects so we blew crap up and then gave you the results.
So if you want the boom-boom sounds in question, enjoy this linky link, like a glass of lemonade
on a hot day.
What?
Not done with July, me neither.
Also in that month of summer we cracked out some cowboy and aliens effects, one of which
was the hub on the wrist gun we showed you how to do it and then supplied it delightfully,
visitable link to you to download the accents we created for the hub in question.
So, cool gang.
If fact, so cool it’s hot.
And finally, just a few weeks back I decided to try it out, my own smoke assets to use
in Losses so I grabbed an iron and went to town and once again, since I love hooking
you guys up, I threw up a link for you to download those assets and use them as well.
So grab it here, use away, it can be used for than muzzle smoke, tons of stuff.
Somebody used it to where, like steam coming out of my ears, pretty cool.
But those are the freebies I have put up over the past two years, so go grab them, and go
crazy baby.
What are you fart baskets doing?
Trying to come up with a new ad for domain.com for Film Riot.
Film Riot.
How long have you been in here?
Three days.
Film Riot.
Serious.
Domain.com and Film Riot.
How hard can it possibly be?
Harder than you think, it has to be both comical and informative.
Make you giggle while pointing out how domain.com’s easy check out process makes it simple to
find domain names, and set up a website.
Plus, pointing out that domain transfers to domain.com are only $7.61 and if you use the
promo code FilmRiot, you get 15% off your domain purchase or transfer.
That’s only $6.47 for a domain transfer, no…
I know math.
Wait, I’ve got an idea.
Josh and Stark can be standing outside and I will come on and like “Stark, you should
use domain.com”, and he’ll be all like “nah”.
I pull out my Samaria sword and start hacking him to bits while Josh is all like “sweet
God, open your light of mercy and stop this.”
That’s morbid and it has nothing to do with domain.com.
Did you miss the exposition when I told him to use domain.com?
That’s not exposition, and it’s morbid.
You just say things that I say, I say things that are good, and you say dumb things.
That’s two times, you hurt my feelings today.
I got another idea.
Don’t want it.
I’m curious.
Josh is on the computer, getting a domain from domain.com and all of the sudden a little
Ninja comes up and starts hacking him to pieces with a Samaria sword.
Don’t piss off little Ninjas, that’s worse than the last idea, you killed me even though
I was already using domain.com.
Yes, but you didn’t use the promo code FilmRiot.
Bam.
Marketing.
Nice.
Not nice.
You’re impossible to please.
No, I just want a good idea.
Then just do one ad about trying to come up with an ad.
We did that already.
Not with me.
True, it’s genius.
It could go viral.
No, it will go viral.
It will.
Viral.
This is the one.
I’m confused, did we already shoot it?
In case you find yourself on a film set I want to make sure you know how to talk the
talk so it’s time to sit down, kick back and learn yo lingo baby.
First word today is boom up or boom down.
Off the bat you might be thinking that this has something to do with the boom operator,
meaning the shot gun mike held at the end of a boom pole which is recording the sound
of the scene.
But actually, no, this has nothing to do with sound, when you hear this command called out,
they are talking about raising or lowering the camera, not tilting it but making its
center point lower for boom down or higher for boom up.
Second word of the day is one for safety, another command you might hear shouted out,
and it has nothing to do with the physical safety of your cast and crew, this just means
when you have a print take, meaning a take you really like, you’ll get one for safety
just in case anything goes wrong with the other good take, just covering your butt really,
so it is just another take of the exact same shot.
Word number three: video village.
This is what the area is called where you can usually find the director and producer,
the video monitors are set up and all that need to be around create this little above
the line village of sorts.
To make it simple, this is where preview monitors are and where the director watches said monitors.
So there you go, some more info for your brain to consume and process, enjoy that tasty knowledge
treat my friends.
Ok, ok everybody, it’s time to disperse but until we once again re-gather in internet
form, you can follow me at twitter.com/ryan_connolly and if you voted on triune apparel’s new
shirts designs, I thought I would let you know that we have our winner so we will immediately
be opening pre-orders and start printing the designs for the choose your weapons shirt,
like a boss shirt and one of my personal favorites which didn’t win which is the I heart movies
shirt so I decided to print a third as well because I really want that shirt and I’m
the boss so I can do that.
So all of those three are up for pre-order right now and we have something cool for you
guys to thanking you help us pick the designs we’re making all pre-orders $2 off.
So if you pre-order your shirt now, you’ll get it for $2 cheaper than when we have them
in stock, which should be in about two weeks max, maybe three max, which isn’t two weeks
max but anyway, it’s just a little $2 off thank you for helping out sort of thing.
So jump over, check it out and that’s it.
Until next time, stay safe and watch good films.
