Writing New Notes on "Traumatic Possession 3D - Part 2".

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Hope all had a good one. Nothing much new to report from the previous post the other day. Right now I am dropping the title Traumatic Possession 3D: A New Beginning; I will be referring to it as Traumatic Possession 3D - Part 2. I am going back and forth from home to the local movie theater to see this actress' performance, the one I want for Traumatic Possession 3D - Part 2. I also have another one of her film's on Blu-ray, but she only had a bit part; it's not much to work with. I want her for this film. If I cannot get this actress, I will not make the film! I want this actress on board, badly.

There's a comedian I want to get for this as well. I think what we'll do is shoot a fifteen minute pitch and send the pitch to both of their agents. Once we screen Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape and then have the DVD and Digital release and we will start production on the pitch. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to afford to shoot with an actual 3D camera.

I did do some Black Friday shopping after I got off work. I was at Target and got what I was after; Prometheus on Blu-ray for $10 and Call of Duty: Black Ops for the PS3 for $15. Also went over to Best Buy and picked up Project X and Wrath of the Titans for $4 each. So, it wasn't a complete bust, but, last Black Friday was better.

I will be doing all the paper work here in the next few weeks and getting my business started. It's a very tiring process and I have to get to an EID and a bank account set up before I start selling the film on Amazon. I am looking forward to getting it all taken care of.

Peace out.

Happy Thanksgiving.


I have been sick and have not been able to finish the final cut of Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape. However, the image above is what I have been doing in Sony Vegas using color correction and various other effects to make the film look like it was made on a big budget and not for $200. I believe I might have all ready mentioned this, but this stuff has not been cropped back down to scope and I am using the original 1.78:1 footage we shot the film with. Last year, I went in and cropped the film to scope, that was mostly a waste of time. With Sony Vegas, I am going to be copying the project files and then go in for each one and create the 1.33:1 and 2.35:1 versions of the film. 1.78:1 feels too sloppy for me. I prefer a broad image and scope, 2.35:1, is my canvas of choice for when we make movies.

Thanksgiving was ok. Was pleasantly surprised when I saw that the dollar theater got Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, but was only in 2D. Saw it again for the third time and plan to probably catch it again on either Monday or Tuesday when I have my next day off. I am about to head out to my job and start my Black Friday duties. Hopefully, this will be my final year and Winter 2013, I will be chilling on the shores of Waikiki.

Have a great Thanksgiving, y'all. And if you're in Columbus, there's going to be a special new trailer coming December 8th for Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape. So, stay tuned. And I am not posting this on Youtube either. Can't be posting all of my material on Youtube.

Going Through "Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape".

I am in the process of editing together Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape. I think come December, after it's finished, I will start working on the script for the sequel; Traumatic Possession 3D: A New Beginning. How long it will take before it gets made is all up to how much money the film and my other projects make in DVD sales on Amazon. There's an actress who I want to get and I am prepared to pay up for an IMDb Pro account to get the contact information. This actress has done horror before, but, I know this one will not be a cheap sell.

I am going through the editing process and going through the original 1.78:1 footage we shot with. It's driving me apeshit looking at the film filling up the whole television screen. I keep telling myself; "It will be back in scope soon!"

The main reason why I am editing the old 1.78:1 footage is so I can create the old full-frame, 1.33:1, version for the "Video Cut". I was also reading Michael J. Bassett's blog a while ago where he talked about having to create a cropped 1.33:1 cut for Silent Hill: Revelation 3D. I am working on title screens and making sure that I can keep them dead center without losing any of them in 2.35:1 or in 1.33:1.

It's surreal to think that Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape will be getting a theatrical screening. I want to thank Dr. Bob Tesla for taking a chance on me. This is something that I am extreme proud of and cannot thank this man enough. I am going to be cutting a special trailer for the December 8th show.

I bought two video games yesterday; Army of Two: The 40th Day and Medal of Honor for the PS3. Paid about $20 for both of those games together. Started really getting into Medal of Honor, but, I am not playing it too much as I am finishing the film. I liked going in and killing terrorists. Gives me an idea for a war film.

Picture Locks on December 20th, 2012. And Stalkers.

Ok, I am still alive. Loving the new place, not planning on getting internet. However, I am working on finishing Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape. Abby Smith, my co-producer has been helping me go through and weed through it. We will start the sound mix here in another week or so. Picture will be locked on December 20th. That's when I will be mailing out a copy to the theater in Columbus that will be screening in it in January.

Other than that, I got into a relationship with a stalker. But, officially on the market again. Would get text messages stating that she would be watching me. I was freaked out a bit. It made me think of a Vice video I saw on a Japanese cannibal who hacked out a Danish woman and left her dismembered body in a suitcase in a park.

Might have another short film in the works. Working title for it is Wonder.

Going Offline aka Follow Me on Twitter.

Before I begin my post, I would like my fan to reveal themselves. If possible, follow me on Twitter at OfficialSFTwit! Since you are one of my first online fans, I want to let you in on Campaign. I'll gladly reveal what it is to you and let you read the script, because it is online since I cannot copyright it.

All right. I am moving to a new place. I don't plan on being online for a while as I am taking time off from the internet. Update on the lawsuit, punk isn't doing nothing. This "Damien Cain" is not real. He can file suit if he wants, but I'll counter with a defamation of character and for damages. Since he was going on about Halloween 3D, I decided that I am going to do another pitch besides what Campaign is.


So, with this time away from the computer, I will be writing reviews and working on the script for this pitch. Again, like Campaign, ten pages long. And I will be working on editing Campaign as I will be going in frame-by-frame and work on the VFX. And with this Halloween 3D pitch, I will upload it in both 2D and anaglyph 3D. I will show you how this pitch is done. Want to file a lawsuit against me; what a bunch of bullshit.

So, I am packing right now. It's a pain in the ass. But, I got the keys to my place and everything is starting to look good. I was going to go in depth about this, so, spoilers to all. Silent Hill: Revelation 3D! I went to see for a second time and this time in 2D whereas I caught the midnight screening in 3D; I really loved the ending and how it set up Silent Hill 2, albeit a bastardized version of it; Silent Hill: Origins; and Silent Hill: Downpour as the next possible sequel. But, yeah, I hated Silent Hill 3 as a video game but I loved the film adaption. It's been getting a lot of shit, but I really enjoyed it. I was texting my best bud from Germany and brought up that it would be awesome if this was dubbed in German.

So, this isn't goodbye. In the words of Schwarzenegger, "I'll be back." And as I was cleaning and clearing out trash, I found this:


Wish you were here.
