From now on out these pictures will be digital, for the most part. Therefore the quality of the pictures will be better, but maybe not the quality of the photography.

The pictures in this folder come from the old RMB Photography Picture of the Day email. These were from pictures I would do around Halloween. I had higher aspirations for this set of pictures. I thought I might actually make a still picture movie out of them like Project: Universe, but I quickly lost my motivation and it was never to be. Kind of like Jay and Games 2.

Next week’s folder:

Backup/My Pictures/Animals

These images come from the following folder:

Backup/Old My Pictures/Project Universe

Me and my chums have attempted to make many a film over the years:

Stayin’ Alive: The Spurting
Robots: Our Friends
Sworn to Vengeance
Games
Quietus
Gratuitous Violence
Stayin’ Alive: The Spurting: The Remake
Games 2
Corey Faust’s In Your Face
The Wager
Project Universe
Film School with Chris Bennett

But the only one that I am even remotely proud of is Project Universe. That might be because it was one of the few films we ever finished. It might also be because it is the film that I had hardly nothing to do with making. My title was “Director of Photography” and I appeared in only one scene in the movie. But it remains the best film I ever participated in making. There isn’t a close second.

Project Universe is Andy’s dream. It stars Jay and a couple of stuffed animals. Project Universe is a still picture movie. It was shot digitally on a a digital camera that took floppy disks. Only 3 pictures could be stored on each floppy disk. It was shot in downtown Ames, on the beautiful Iowa State campus, and mostly in Carrie’s parents’ garage.

Some of these pictures are behind the scene shots. The rest are taken directly from the movie.

If you ever want to view Project Universe or any of our other filming attempts, I know a guy that can arrange a viewing.

Jay carved this pumpkin.


I used to have lots of bad double exposure ideas… Still do actually.


A better look at Jay’s pumpkin carving prowess.


Olivia knitted this scarf for Godzilla. He wears it to this day.
