Short Story Example - "My Best Friend's Sweating"

These guys get into some pretty fun stuff. What I really like about their videos are the production quality that goes into the simplest silly idea. Outside the short film, full length arena, I think this is something that we could get into when there's nothing else to do. Check out some of their other videos too.

Short Story - "Egg Timer"

Alright, so evidently you cannot upload simple files to Blogger, you can only upload videos and pictures. I didn't really explore Google Docs or anything else really. However, the web community speaks highly of MediaFire. This is how I'll share files with you guys until I find something better.

It's not too bad, just copy and paste the link into a new browser window and it'll take you to a new MediaFire-branded page. Click "Click to download". An ad will probably pop up, just ignore it, I guess that's the price you pay for a "free" service. I assure you that the site is pretty legit.

This was one the first short stories that I wrote when I had resurrected my personal blog back in April (I plan on getting back in the saddle soon). It spawned from the want to do simple but beautiful cinematography; you'll notice there's no dialogue. I think it might a good candidate for a project we could film sooner than later because it's so undemanding.

I'm envisioning something akin to the "Black Hole" short that I posted a week ago; something with high attention to detail in regard to sound design and composition.

This post is kind of a doozey. Not only does it show off some effects packages that we could look into (I actually have access to two or three of them through work) but it also has a great little behind the scenes featurette. I'd love to talk about how they made this short with you guys.

Here's an example of the kind of short economic story telling that we could be exploring. What do you guys think?
