To Slay an Indian


Alright, you are now able to see the movie from which this blog's header picture comes from. =) It's another silly movie, but we had putting it together. Most embarrassing - trying to ignore the neighbors staring at us while we were dressed up in our pioneer costumes and acting ridiculous. We filmed this on Easter Sunday - and pretty much everyone helped out. 

You probably wouldn't have seen this movie for a long time if it weren't for my good friend Maria. We agreed (and shook hands) that she wouldn't let me read her story until I posted this movie. So here it is. Looking forward to your story, Maria! =)

Enjoy!

Manhunt


Ok, I'm finally able to post this! For some reason, I've been having trouble getting this on here (and in the process of trying to figure it out, I accidentally posted it on Google+. Ok, I'm fine with almost strangers watching *some* of our stupid movies, as long as I'm not in them. I was mortified to find that this movie posted. =P)

My younger siblings pretty much did everything with this movie. I only acted in some scenes when they needed extras and helped out *some* with editing. (Editing takes hours and can be discouraging if you don't really know how everything works).

Enjoy!

Sheriff Without a Gun


This movie is based off an Andy Griffith Episode "The Tailors in Hollywood" (a movie company makes a movie about Andy Tailor - "Sheriff without a Gun" - and he, as well as Aunt Bea, is disgusted at how they portray Andy's life). The second half of the movie is behind-the-scenes bloopers and stuff. I didn't help at all with the making of this movie - all the credit goes to my younger siblings!

Books Vs. Media


Desperate Mission

We started this movie in May, 2013.We worked the story out, picked out (and made) costumes, set up our set in the basement and filmed the first scene (which took two days to film) and, to our horror, the videos didn't work with Windows Movie Maker. That totally exploded our bubble and we dropped the project. A month later, we gave it another try.We pulled the costumes out, shortened our original story quite a bit, and filmed and edited the entire movie within five hours. We wanted to make a behind-the-scenes movie, but we never got around to it. =/

This is our attempt at an adaption from "The Longest Day" - at least the French resistance part. =) 

Nightmare


[January, 2013.] Longest movie up to that point, this is also the first time we'd used sound effects.
