twitter play....in the future

Jason: I have been frozen from the distant past only to wake up in the new future in 5029. What has changed since my time.

Future-naught: we found a cure for the common cold and the air is nicer. Oh yeah and we are still slaves to Disney corp.

The Fall, or not the Fall that is the question

Wow, Tarsem Singh made The Fall just for me. What an honor! I mean, I didn't think we were that close and all,  and for him to make an entire movie for me. Though I can't help but wonder, what was he trying to tell me? Making this movie for me...... what was he intending for me to do and how to better myself as an artist. Maybe he was saying, "Austin, your movies must all be in slow motion so that the audience becomes bored and with that boredom they will think of what the movie truly meeeeeeeeeeens!" That's what he would probably say, in a funny ghost/flashback accent.  Seriously, I think he would be trying to make me a better director by making the images more clear and having the audience think about the plot instead of just basically stating the plot out loud. I think The Fall really taught me to be myself and just go with it. I should go do my project and have fun by making a good and meaningful movie and the audience would spontaneously combust or get really involved in the movie plot.

The Fall

The movie, The Fall, was crazy! I mean the part where the girl landed and hurt her head, and that whole animation sequence, holy sh**. I just have one question though about this whole movie and it's concept ,what the hell just happened?! I am not really sure about what I think about the movie, but for now I would say that I did like it..... to a certain point. I liked the special effects and story in a story element, and all of the locations that they shot in real actual places.  The transitions were also phenomenal. The plot, however, was depressing.  The man who was suicidal and tells a little girl a story to get more morphine so he could commit suicide, I mean come on! In the end, he felt bad for the girl and didn't do it... really! I didn't mind anything other than that.

Art is

Why do I make art? Why do I make art? Why do I make art? This question sounds so easy on paper but when you think about it, it is really hard. Every reason that I think of usually sounds good in my head but, when I write it down it sounds so, well, how should I put this? Terrible! I make art to express my individuality as it is. Nothing more, nothing less.   However my art turns out, it turns out. I am not concerned with the product because it can always be changed and made better.   It's the thought of my art that counts and what the meaning of my art is.  Whether the viewer understands, interprets or even likes what they see is up to the viewer.  I cannot control that.  Or can I?  Do I paint for the viewer or paint for myself?  Or, am I my own viewer?  Do I understand what I am doing?  Am I extrapolating my own work?  Am I painting for myself? Am I really painting so I can extrapolate my own work and comment on it to see what I meant, what it represents and what it means that I did not intend?  The answer to all these questions is, I don't know but it may be my responsibility to find out as an artist and adventurer into this unknown world.


 I can do things that the world secretly wishes it could do simply because I can. That's it. Thats art.  I am brave and special because I think and convinced myself that  I am which causes me to persue my talents as an artist.   By convincing  myself that I am special I become special, or do I?  Again, creativity allows me to explore and find out.

derping questions 2

Wow! I spent really no time goofing off.   I let my creative juices flow and just worked.  I thought that however it came out, it came out and I would deal with my end product later. I spent really no time looking back, just forward with my project, line after line after line without just staring at work and the lines that probably needing editing.  I wrote while at the same time stopping briefly to do some research on what made other sitcoms successful.  Although it was tempting, I did not goof off.  I think that improved either my writing or creativity. I am apparently not a social person because I didn't socialize a lot. I didn't use my community. I am new to STAC and everyone is close.  Although everyone is helpful and friendly, I am not yet part of "the group".  Maybe by next year I too will get some of the inside jokes!  My project needs editing (no, it needs A LOT of editing) and come to think of it, probably a better story with more character development.  It is likely in dire need of more dialogue with actions that speak for themselves. I overloaded myself with work by thinking I could produce an entire draft of a sitcom in a week. I guess as productive as I am... I am not. My next step is hopefully to try to get more pages done. That's it....

Derping my opinion

Well, here is my "derping" opinion: Honestly I felt more comfortable working alone than in a group and think that I probably worked better and got more done that way too, no offensive to mis amigos. What I expected to learn and what I did learn was how to manage my time better and not to goof off and if you do goof off you will die.. of incomplete work. What I didn't expect to learn was that working in a group can alter your project drastically in a second and if the ideas are good enough they will make to project a whole lot better. What I wanted to learn but didn't, was how to multitask which I can't do right now. I am praising my achievements in all of my work because it turned out well and better than I expected. I thought the jokes were spot on (if I do say so myself) and the dialogue was realistic.  I can see the actors having a good time with this script and the audience really enjoying it as well.

my intenderpsion statement

Here lies my hopes and dreams of creating a pilot during this week. I must have tried to eat the whole charleston chew in one bite because the workload was too much. I got about 6 pages done "derp de derp de derp." Next time i will either pick a different project or give myself less pages to do?

still working still derping

Working and working and working then STOP and working and working. This basically describes what I have been doing. I have about 6 pgs, not nearly enough. Unless I can manage to write 14 more in one day, i bit off more than I can chew.

Work, Work and even more Derp

Today I  sat in my spot in the hallway outside the STAC room and worked continuously until my fingers hurt. I got a few pages done and now am about a fourth done, thats it....
Funny that I have so much to say but when I sat down to blog I am very quiet!
My inspiration today was based on the adventures that people have everyday in college. I thought gee, maybe I can write about that and get into college for it, and I did. A true success story...

progress day 1

First day: I had a problem trying to figure out how Celtix works.  I sat for what seemed like an endless amount of time pressing buttons, but I finally got it to work.   Eventually I wrote about two pages so basically I have about at least 20 more. I did decide the character names and personalities. I need to get more dialogue and character development done, which will be problematical.   20 pages is harder to do than 100 because You have to be more focused.

My intention statement derp de derp de derp

TBA or To Be Announced is a sitcom created by yours truly, is about four guys and their misadventures in college. Each episode will revolve around them trying to get by each class while having a good time. The scenes will take place in the dorms, dining hall and courtyard. I think it will be a mash of the "big bang theory", "friends", and "adventure time". stay tuned for more....

Austin's first blog -Yah

This is my first blog... not really sure how its gonna turn out so here it goes. 1) My first creative moment traces back to when I was littler when Pokemon was not just an awesome video game but the show was actually still pretty good. I don't know what went through my mind when I decided to pick up a yellow marker and a piece of paper. Anyways, a few minutes later my hands were covered in marker and I had made my first drawing. My Pikachu drawing has not changed much ever since that day. 2) Yes, my parents were there even though they couldn't think of what the yellow blob was.  They still said good job and that was pretty much it. 3) My best idea. though not my most healthy, was when I decided to spend a whole day indoors, watch tv and just plain relax. 4) The best idea I ever had was not to become a vegan because vegans are very selective eaters and I probally could not go without my meat. 5) It was a greatidea because meat gives me energy and I don't have to eat rabbit foods like my mother. 6) Staying up all night play video games was a terrible idea! 7) I was tired for the entire next day and felt sick. 8) One day I decided to see how long I could stay up playing video games and it ended up being all night. That's it....
