The first Marcies

A friend of mine just shared this remarkable test footage from Kodak with me. Sure, it’s not in what we consider to be “color” today – it’s only red and blue/grey – but to me this is just magic. These women were the original Marcies.

Sunrise on Stanton Street

After the solid 24 hours of heavy snow, we woke up this morning to a beautiful pre-sunrise.

IMDB plot keywords — please help!

I give you the top 10 plot keywords from my IMDB page:

  1. bare-chested-male
  2. blood
  3. bath
  4. bathtub
  5. corpse
  6. death-of-father
  7. dog
  8. female-masturbation
  9. flashback
  10. male-frontal-nudity

I will admit that I have worked on some… shall we say “eclectic” films? But this list is a little scary. Now, I am totally okay with “bath,” “bathtub,” “dog” and even “flashback”. But all the rest of them? Not good. Not good at all. Especially when the full list includes things like “shot-in-the-head,” “attempted-rape” and “bitten-in-the-neck.”

This needs to change. I need your help. I’m a compositor. I enjoy my work. I’ll even go so far to say that I’m good at it. So, if you’re a VFX company and you’re working on a happy film, maybe one about fuzzy bunnies or butterflies — please call me. I really REALLY need to work on your film. Help me reform this list. Call me, okay?
