FILMMAKER DEATHMATCH

The concept is simple: two filmmakers work together to shoot a bunch of B-roll with whatever equipment they have. Both take copies of the footage home and each edits his own separate masterpiece. Audience decides the winner.

Added a little definitive purpose to my life this week, so I thought I'd do the same for my vlog. If anyone has some good literature on autorotoscoping and pixel tracking, hit me up at spencer(at)brocktv(dot)ca

...crossed the law!

SUPER stoked for the BUZIES awards this saturday, April 9!

...been interviewed!

We had some time to kill while we were waiting to interview the real athletes.
Sorry about the audio, it was loud in there so we had the mic turned down.

...slacked off!

Sorry for the long hiatus, many exciting updates in the next few weeks.

...clearly overexposed!

Producer Vlog Feb 14 2011 from Spencer Johnston on Vimeo.

Not a ton that needs context or explaining this week, had a bit of trouble shooting with a 50mm prime lens through 50/50 teleprompter glass, and matching that with an unobstructed 18-135mm zoom. Decided overexposing looked better than under. Stay tuned for next week's vlog, it should be a special one.

...worn a fancy suit!

Producer Vlog Jan 28 2010 from Spencer Johnston on Vimeo.

Two mistakes in this episode. I mistakenly call the camera rig a "Steadicam", when in fact it is the Glidecam Smooth Shooter.
Also, Roomies is not a web series, but a TV pilot.

...become a champion!

I'll let you know when I find one of mine.

...gone to the festival!

Producer Vlog Jan 17 2011 from Spencer Johnston on Vimeo.

I've been making these quicker and quicker since Xmas, and continuing the trend, next week's will be out on Thursday, because fellow BrockTV producer Brendan McCarney and I have accepted the Issac's Bar & Grill Hamburger Challenge! We'll have 30 minutes to devour the 5lb monster of meat and cheese. Victory will see our meal paid for, free t-shirts, and our names and likenesses forever emblazoning the Isaac's Wall of Fame.
To add to the stakes, we're likely to be the first men to rise to the challenge.
Come down this Wednesday at 3PM to witness history.

...got my picture in the paper!

Interim Producer Vlog, Jan 11 2011 from Spencer Johnston on Vimeo.

Too much going on this week, so I wanted to get some of it out of the way before my vlog at Render This! I'm super excited to be the Guest of Honor and finally show off Cougar Colt.
The festival is at the Empire Theatres in the Pen Centre St Catharines, at 7PM this Thursday January 13.
In the meanwhile, check out the article(s, I'm mentioned in both of them)
