New Video in the Works? Goodie!

secondrateproductions — Wed, 03 May 2006 23:19:19 +0000

Ok so, at lunch today, some associates of mine and I were discussing my movie production company. Eventually the idea of a new film came to hand. We came up with a pretty nice skeletal idea for a new video, but it's very sketchy at the moment. We're planning the details of it now, and hopefully we'll be able to do some work on it soon. The most likely soonest time we'll be able to do any real work on it will be the first or second week into summer vacation. Summer vacation starts June 8th for us, so you might be able to expect some work to be done sometime in that time frame.

Stay Tuned.

We’re now “Director” status on YouTube, and I have Director’s Block.

Since YouTube has recently implemented various changes to their site, I've noticed the new Director status that some members have now. I figured this would be a good opportunity for me to become a Director on YouTube just for the heck of it, so I signed up.

My screen name on YouTube is not secondrateproductions or 2ndrateproductions (even though I made both of those accounts). My screen name on YouTube is Rudy246. Here's a link to the profile if you'd like to visit it:

_______________________

On a more depressing note, I haven't made a new video in almost 2 months. I have had several ideas, but I just don't have the resources available to make the images in my head a reality. So many ideas I can't put into place. There are so many limitations on my life right now that I really can't put forth much time or effort into making films. So much schoolwork and whatnot to do.

Also the facts that I can't drive and most of my friends aren't fond of the idea of being in a video both contribute to my limitations as a film-maker. Fortunately though, Summer vacation is coming up, which means I'll have much more free time to make videos.

So if you guys (those few of you) can wait, I might have something done a few weeks into June maybe early July. It all depends on how School goes and how Summer Vacation goes.

Peace,

No name change

secondrateproductions — Tue, 04 Apr 2006 12:57:00 +0000

After much thought, I have decided to keep the name of the company as-is. No name change here ^_^

Nothing to see here, go on with your lives ladies and gentlemen.

Considering a New Name

secondrateproductions — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 17:24:00 +0000

Hey there everybody.

Lately I’ve been thinking that the name ’2nd rate productions’ isn’t very appealing to the audience, so I’m considering changing the name to something else. The logo will most likely remain the same, I’d just have to reshoot it with the new name on it.

I’m going to think on it for a while, so until then, 2nd Rate Productiond remains. But keep a look out, odds are I will end up changing the name.

Don’t Go Away Video DL Link

Finally got the new video to upload to uploading.com. The file is a bit over 100 megs because it’s in MPEG2 format, but it’s higher quality than youtube. Enjoy!

Here’s the link:

Don’t Go Away Video Released

secondrateproductions — Sun, 05 Mar 2006 06:54:00 +0000

After about a month of filming, editing, sweating and crying, the new Don’t Go Away video by 2nd Rate Productions © has been finished! The video has been uploaded to Youtube, but will also be available on Uploading.com in a larger form. I will hopefully have it on Uploading.com by the end of the day, seeing as how it is having some technical difficulties right now. You can view the video on Youtube on my Myspace. Or if you’d rather have a direct link:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=2BfGwHkUBcg

I would recommend, if you are only planning to watch the video,to go to Youtube to view it. If you would rather download the video to your PC for later viewing, I would recommend Uploading.com (the video is higher quality and resolution there). The video should be on Uploading.com shortly, check back later today for a link to it if you’d like.

Any comments are greatly appreciated. This video is Copyrighted by 2nd Rate Productions. Special thanks to Oasis for the song.

Enjoy!

Don’t Go Away Video Update

secondrateproductions — Thu, 02 Mar 2006 13:26:00 +0000

Ok, I have decided that I am definatley going to finish the video this weekend, so it will hopefully be done by Sunday and already be on the internet before Monday.

I only have about 1 minute of film to record, and then it’s all just editing from there on out.

Stay tuned ^_^

Latest Video Update

secondrateproductions — Sun, 26 Feb 2006 15:06:00 +0000

Well, the video’s been going great, but very slow. So far we’ve got the vast majority done, we’ve only got about 20 seconds left to shoot, for the rest of the film, then we’ve got some editing to do.

If I (Rudy) do decide to re-shoot a few scenes then the video will take a bit longer. There are a few scenes that did not turn out how I wanted, so I have decided to think about re-shooting them.

The video will most likely be done within 2 weeks, so much school work lately has prevented me from being able to dedicate much time to it. But fret not, for it will be finished!

Cheers,
-Rudy

Latest video in Production

secondrateproductions — Tue, 21 Feb 2006 05:53:00 +0000

Allrighty folks, this video is really gonna knock your socks off once it’s finished. I’m putting my heart and soul into it. It’s a music video, my first at that.

The video is about halfway done, I’ve shot and put together 2:10 out of 4:48. So we’ve got a ways to go, not to mention how the weather has been affecting shootings. The weather’s been so cold lately, I’ve had to postpone some shootings.

Luckily, the weather was bearable enough to be able to shoot a lot of the video, I was able to shoot most of the first half of the video today. I spent about an hour and a half editing it, and so far I’m very pleased with the results.

The video should be finished by Friday hopefully, so I’ll be able to upload it by Saturday night. If it’s not finished on Friday, then it will most likely be done by Monday. If for any reason it isn’t done by Monday, I’m probably either swamped with schoolwork, or have other things occupying my time. But that’s doubtful, so the video should be out by Friday.

Peace!
-Rudy
