TVWriter™’s great and good friend, film maker extraordinaire Hank Isaac, has a new web series coming out very soon. This is Hank’s first web series and – well, once you see this trailer we think you agree that it looks every bit as extraordinary that its pedigree has led us to expect:
A fascinating animated homage to Kevin Smith and Richard Linklater. If you loved CLERKS and SLACKER, you’ll love this gem by James Cunningham and the Media Design School:
I’m not a huge circus fan but I seem to spend a lot of time juggling. And it’s kinda driving me nuts.
I’m simultaneously working on three projects (including a writing/developing brand new one), taking meetings, prepping to (gasp) start pitching and trying to maintain everything in, well, life. Did I mention I’m also thinking about filming a couple of mini-shorts?
Something’s gotta give.
Been working like a psycho putting in 12-15 hour days prepping a teeny tiny sizzle reel for a seriously long shot meeting I finally had this week. What are the chances of anything happening with this? Probably non-existent. So why’d I put all this work into something that most likely won’t materialize? Cause one, it’s still a shot, two, if it doesn’t work out I can still use it and three, hey, I created a new show idea and really love it.
So while I await my fate (and plunge back into my usually scheduled work), here are some tips I’ve figured out to help get through the sheer hellish agony of awaiting your fate after an all-important meeting. These not only apply to pitching tv writing/shows, but really, any type of job interview:
1) Stock up on sugar. Yeah, you’ll be hyped up and, probably, destroying your body and teeth, but now is not the time to worry about minor stuff like that. The big picture: sugar’ll make you feel GREAT! plus it’s, generally, a better choice than substances that might be considered, say, a federal offense in some places.
If you’re into peer production, slaving away for zero bucks day after day trying to make the absolutely best videos you can so you can put ’em on the web and get discovered (don’t laugh, unbelievers, it works), then you know all about GoPro video cams. They are, simply, the best, and at affordable prices.
Right now, Amazon’s got an awesome deal on the new GoPro Hero. As in $129.99. Cheaper than most point-and-shoot still cams and not much bigger.
