FAGS
Yet another time at IRON EDITOR, stiffed.
Yesterday Z, Shael, Devon, and I spent a good three hours stuck in traffic, arriving at FAGFEST around 6 and whisked right into Iron Editor's Challenge 2. Since the lake had risen due to the recent East Coast floods, the cottage was out of commission ((but not damaged), so we held the main events at Josh's house. BTW, Josh is the man for hosting. I really hope everybody else paid him for the amount of alcohol we all consumed, because he, Pappy and Joe_Cam go out of their way to provide the lot of us with gallons of expensive alcohol. I threw in my extra buck$ when it was pizza time.
In case you didn't know, I.E. is a four-hour competition where teams of editors cut together a music video based on a judge-selected movie and their own music track. Every 1/2 hour each editor takes a mixed shot, and the non-alcoholics drink something .. disgusting.
This time in Iron Editor there was a feud! Rez and I had gone our separate ways, and since Devon was present again the three of us became captains. At the helm of three mac minis (technically, I used Z's laptop), we chose each other's partners and began to edit the judge-selected movie........LABRYNTH. Out of the entire house of partygoers, Z and I were the only ones to have recently watched it. Everybody else had to remember as they went or fudge it.
My partner wound up being Christian Pacaud! We found early on that both of us were passionate about editing; he specialized in sound and me video. After rushing through our collections of CDs, we decided on the main theme from "Suspiria", a creepy, ambient / 70s rock track from one of the creepiest suspense movies ever made. WATCH IT! Choosing a serious track that fit the movie better than a comedy song would be our downfall, but neither of us cared. We pressed on, confident that we'd feel better making something quality instead of wacky.
In the end, our piece (described later by others as amazing, full of skill and creepy) got THIRD in favor of runner-up Rez/Jerry and the winner, Devon/Taucer. It was the shaft we were expecting, but disappointment still ran deep. Both of us did some smack-talking, ate some pizza, and passed out.
When I get the video completed / exported, you'll be able to see what I'm talking about.

Oh man I just saw Labrynth last week! That movie is so amazing & I'm psyched to see your video!
I remember watching Labryinth at the drive-in as a kid and having NO CLUE as to half of what was going on, or that the main actress would grow up to have huge boobs.
I can't wait to see your vid. Post the other two vids so i can see the crappy ones that edged you out. I still think your Aquabats Private Ryan vid should've won.
Liked the picture of the leaf that was half brown, half green. It's like one half of it was a mogwai, and the other half was turning into a gremlin.
ps- I'm watching "Boogeyman" on tv right now. It sucks balls. but you know what? there was an episode of the cartoon "the real ghostbusters" where a very scary Boogeyman was haunting Egon. Still creeps me out. Had a giant head like the bad witch from "Spirited Away".
After this weekend the vid should be up, guys. I hope to see the other entries again, so maybe if they read this they'll get all pumped and post theirs to the internets.
and I finished REAL ULTIMATE POWER the book today! Robert Hamburger is the greatest author alive!
