I've got a bunch of movie related stuff I've done i was curious to post here and see what peeps think, if that isn't too "promotion-y"?

Allllllllrighty then. So here's a long winding, splintered background.

I have pretty much all of A Few Good Men memorized. My overall memory isn't fantastic, but I have a certain predilection for memorizing movies and I have monologues memorized, scenes memorized, etc. Having auditioned for way too many terrorist or heavily accented roles I decided it was way past time to take my career into my own hands and start creating my own work. So I started shooting short films. One inspiration I got (and I think it might have been posted here), is this song John Williams is The Man (by Moosebutter), that this guy Corey Vidal took and shot himself lip syncing to it. There are four parts, so he just made four video squares and did all the parts himself.

I've also seen a bunch of people "remake" that scene, and it is SO iconic that anytime anyone says "You can't handle the truth" I can only picture Nicholson saying it. So instead of "remaking" the scene, I did something a little different with it and lip sync'ed to the original soundtrack and…. here's the result:

I've since done it with a bunch of my other favorite Four person scenes:
The Shining (Jack taking his first drink at the Bar, i fudge the "4th person in this one)
Rocky III (Clubber calling out Rocky)
The Karate Kid (the dojo challenge)
There Will Be Blood (the sinner scene)
(And I have a bunch of others coming soon!)

Kam, that was awesome! I really enjoyed watching it. It is a great script, and I think that you did a great job bringing it to life that way. Your facial expressions were bang on and I would have sworn that was you talking.

A long time ago, when I was a kid, I spent some time on stage. I once wanted to act, but I didn't have the stomach for being turned down so I gave up on it pretty easily. I have a lot of respect for those who can make a living at it. It's not easy to find success and it's a lot of work when you do find it.

Plus, after all these years, it's nice to see what you look like.

haha thank you! It's a tough battle for every tiny step forward. But… it's a calling, a passion, a life, a journey. I've learned to really enjoy the journey and focus on creating the stuff I'd love to watch. I figure if I can make a movie that *I'd* love to see, i know others will too. (So yeah, stay tuned for my first feature!)

I've finished a short film I'm completing post production sound on and then it'll be off to the festivals!

I followed the link on your name and watched Two Pieces. Very good.

Thank you! The one I'm working on I had submitted to Ron Howard's Project Imaginat10n (10 short films based on various photos). I had a photo that won the photo part of the contest but none of the five celebrity directors had chosen to use it in their short films. He then opened the festival up to anyone for the remaining five spots and I made my own short based on my photo (of a horse) to submit, but sadly my post work didn't get finished in time. That's the one I'm still working on. (called "Centaur")
