Start the New Year Laughing

Firstly, I've updated my website (www.adam-stephenson.com)
This time it's more Adam-friendly. What that means is it doesn't take a week to update a few little things. I don't care for HTML design anymore and don't want to spend any more time on it than say, the amount of time to write a blog.

So here's what's going on...

Deep River
This is a new web series that Jay and I are digging into. It's not really that new at all, Jay has started it many years ago (100 I think?) and we have shined some light into the darkest possible place to make one kickass story. We have held auditions and have production meetings on the horizon.

Skitzo
The concept and enjoyment of this show sort of happened out of nowhere. During the auditions Jay and I were accompanied by Paul Fedj and Melody Sargent. They have been getting involved with Deep River as well as other projects. Anyways, being two very comedic cats, they started goofing around during our downtime. I flipped the little handicam on and started rolling. Paul and Melody had a project they needed to rehearse which was: Barefoot in the Park.
Well one joke rolled to the next and we decided to take it back to my place and add interviews and character building scenes to what we captured. We used our Canon HD camera so the two footage formats makes for a neat docu/mocku style.
Truth be told, we laughed our asses off editing it. So, we did another one the following week. Then another the following. Now we've decided to make a series out of it and it's called Skitzo.
There will be a homepage for the show with episodes being released weekly. Hopefully, it will build a fanbase and go from there. Seems to have some interest from friends etc.

We have captured alot of footage and are slowly bringing it fruitition.

That's what's going on right now.
Stay tuned.

A decade ago....

10 years ago, I would have been 13.
I was into computers and music.
10 years is a long time.
In those 10 years I've accumulated some music in the mp3 format, vinyl format and cd format.
I just reached my 30,000th mp3.



They're all pretty much organized too.

Wow.

Bastard & Deep River

Been busy and excited for several new productions Jay and I have in the works.
Bastard is a screenplay I wrote about a man who (through time travel) is his own mother and father.
Deep River is a new series that Jay had going years ago and has been idle. We've breathed some life into it.. more life than theDead to say the least.

So we're doing auditions next Thursday the 15th at Niagara College. Check here for details.

Teaser for Deep River can be found here.

"Nothing lasts, and what a shame it is."

If I will,
one thing that Benjamin Button did; was stick to its theme.
This was a film that knew what it was, and stuck with its thematic choice.
For me, it made it very enjoyable.

The soundtrack is also very nice.

Egg Nog and Grand Marnier

It's been a busy little while.
Rob, Jay and I completed a video for a foundation called ROCK. It turned out really slick. We need to charge more for our services cause I'm feeling pretty proud of what we did.
I'm especially proud of the sound restoration that I achieved. The wind was hurting our mics and the peaks were going nuts. I read a bit online and got it to sound good. So, good.

I really love it when people enjoy work that I've been involved with.
I sent out all the Christmas DVD's and alot of people enjoyed them.

Weird feelings here and there about people, social situations, creativity, productivity, love, past relationships, future endeavors, current everything. Sometimes you learn on hindsight when someone isn't right for you. Sometimes you end up being the bad guy no matter what you do.
Nowadays, even cutting lose and just closing a chapter after trying to be the nice guy doesn't always work.

Life is a neat thing.
I think I'll keep at it.

Christmas

So it has been an engaging past few months.
I have focused more and more on being productive towards writing and editing.
I'm excited for Christmas.

I manifested a big project as an act of friendship to the people that matter to me.
Check those mailboxes.
I probably won't respond to any thank you's however.
A cave is the only place I can write in.
A cave that plays one song over and over and over and over again.
The mood changes, the artist changes the song remains the same.

Well,
Merry Christmas.

Today.

This is my first entry, I haven't used blogspot in a long time.

Soon, I will use it to update friends, family and supporters of the work I am doing.

The work I haven't been doing has been most prominent for the past 365 days or so. 

This is the new wave, things have changed.
