Continuum postponed to 2013

After another long period with no updates, breaking news is here. Continuum is postponed until 2013. This is  because I am focusing on my music video directing job and other client work. Before the year is over, I do plan on releasing at least one completed scene from the movie however, and the second full length trailer, so stay tuned like always!

Working with Twista, 50 Tyson

Lately, I've been taking a break from Continuum once again, mainly to work on some more videos for some more major artists known as Twista & 50 Tyson. Twista is known as one of the fastest rappers in Hip-Hop, and has sold millions of records. 50 Tyson is a huge internet sensation, who blew up after uploading one of his home videos to YouTube.

For the Twista video, I did the editing and the visual effects for the video. I didn't film this one. It was actually shot by Hi-Def Photos.



For the 50 Tyson video, his manager and I came up with the concept, and I directed and edited the video.

Continuum is progressing... CAST & CREW LIST

Hey guys, I haven't posted on here in a while, so here's some news.

My feature film CONTINUUM is making progress, slowly, but it's still making progress. I'm estimating that we're about 60% done with shooting. As many of you may know, I recently released the first full trailer for the movie (not just the teaser, which has been out for quite a while), and I'm pretty satisfied with it so far. I really appreciate the support I'm getting from so many of you guys who watch my videos and have been following me on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. If you haven't seen the trailer, go here, or just watch it on the front page of this website.

Continuum Update + Behind the scenes photos

If you've been following my twitter or the Continuum Facebook page you'd know that the filming of my
feature film is just about 50% done and the soundtrack creation process will be starting pretty soon. A full trailer should be done before the year is over. The expected release will be around mid to early 2012.

Here are some production stills/Behind the Scenes photos:

 

Dramatic Ben Hughes!

Production has sort of slowed down though due to snow and scheduling issues, so I'll be shooting a couple music videos on the side along with Continuum. Expect to see some music videos for Auburn, Moe Rock, Fly Henderson, That Guy Soda, Soundsick, and more in the near future!

My Film "Time Fax" Made It to the Finalists of the Cinema Out of Your Backpack Film Festival.

I don't know if you guys remember my film "Time Fax" (well the 3 minute sneak peak), but recently, Time Fax made it to the finalists of the Cinema Out of Your Backpack Film festival. Now Time Fax can officially be considered an "Official Selection of the Cinema Out of Your Backpack Film Festival." So that's cool!

Feature Film On The Way + AUBURN MUSIC VIDEO

Hey guys, I've been working on about 5 music videos lately, plus I'm just finishing up a script for a full length feature film I'll be making, called Continuum. Synopsis:


A new street gang is slowly rising to power in the Twin Cities, they call themselves the Faceless Assassins. They aren't your ordinary street gang. After 18 year-old Raven's best friend Josh is killed by this new gang, Raven's life goes downhill, and crime continues to rise. When Raven discovers the ability to travel through time, she realizes that she might just be able to prevent Josh's death, and prevent this gang from ever forming. However, she can't control her powers, and putting a stop to the Faceless Assassins is nearly impossible. But, with the help of an ex-cop, a physics professor, and her friends and family, she might just turn this crazy plan into a reality.


The film will be shot entirely on the Canon EOS Rebel T2i camera, using only the cheapest of lenses and equipment.


(While this film involves Time Travel, I promise, it is nothing like my other film Time Fax. I actually had this idea well before Time Fax)
