The Shortest of Shorts
The brief amount of time spent outside of a movie screen has taught me one thing, movies are better. In every sense of the word, the visceral and emotional impact felt by moving images and the sound that they weave between cannot be denied. And after years of their conspicious consumption it would be impossible to deny their cultural and personal impact.
I can’t remember the first movie that I ever saw, but I can remember the first tv show I ever saw: Mario Monster Mash / Rolling Down the River
The ONLY reason I can remember that, is because the theme song was Proud Mary from Creedance Clearwater Revival.
So when I got to Junior College at 18, I had one thing in mind. Make movies, make lots of movies, and make great movies. I studied screenwriting for 2 years, direction and stage design for another year, and 1 year of ‘acting in front of the camera’. All in all, I had failed at everything I took in college, except for what was related to film. Heck, even the ‘History of Cinema’ classes I took, that I slept through and missed regularly, were passed and digested.
Almost 15 years since I first took classes related to film and I have yet to ‘Produce’ anything that has ever used a script or typical story-arc. I have done commercials, filmed tutorials, comedy specials, documentary’s, game shows, and everything in between. But a short film? Feature length production? NOTHING… Never even tried to be totally honest.
That is all about to change in August. On the 15th I fly to Seattle, Washington with my lovely better half. Along with our few days spent relaxing and exploring, we will be canvasing for locations to shoot a few scenes from a short film I wrote years ago. Although the script has survived numberous different computers, usb drives, and cloud storage platforms, the dialogue has not.. As such I have attempted to rewrite what was once an assignment, as something that could be filmed in a weekend with two people and a light amount of equipment.
This is the first Blog entry on OHM in over 4 years. And lets hope it won’t be the last! I will keep everyone aprised of the results and progress on here as well as twitter.
One podcast to join them. And in the darkness, make fun of them.
After more than 5 years of podcasting and creating content for other companies and comedians, OHM is finally going to embark on a series of shows specifically geared towards topics we are interested in.
Podcasting on Location
With new advancements in podcasting technology and demands, we find ourselves constantly trying to create something fresh and new. Our take on how to do that is with an ever evolving dialogue and direction. Starting first with WHY we record. The HOW and the WHEN are both aspects of the conversation more than ever now, but the WHY is still the premodinant question that needs answering.
With 3 upcoming trips scheduled to Seattle, South Africa, and New York, I plan on creating and cultivating a plethora of new content to weave into all of the projects that we finish in 2019. There won’t be a moment I don’t consider capturing content with while on these trips. YES, I do realize the risk of traveling with all of this equipment, and as such I have certain precautions in mind. I.E. never leaving anything of value in the hotel room. Travel with everything OR DIE!!@@!#$!$

Shaver Lake California
Just because the temperature dropped below 18 degrees that night doesn’t mean that I regretted my decision to not research the area or weather in the slightest.
As I huddled with Shyma for at least 4 hours of life-altering cold shivers, I thought we might not make it. Not that we would die before the morning per se, but that we would for sure wake up sick and exhausted and unable to function. And maybe also die….
18 degrees with a an overgrown blue summer tent that had ventilation slots along the roof IN CASE IT GOT TOO HOT INSIDE THE TENT…. FOR EXCESS HEAT DUUUUURING THE SUMMMER!!!!!! smh…..
Our strength and determination not to let my stupidity kill us helped fuel the burning desire to survive.
After the second night of camping, we came to the conclusion that it really was not that bad. Our blood had acclimated and we had now retrofitted the tent with as many spare blankets, towels, and carpets that we could find. Because we are classy hoes, we hid much of the gypsy insulation on the inside, but I’m pretty sure our neighbors (all of whom were in rv’s) could tell what was really going on.
“A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.”
― Carl Reiner
All in all, this was one of the most refreshing, inspiring, and utterly exhausting trips I can remember embarking on. It’s safe to say, that at this point, I will probably never camp in the snow again. Not that I wouldn’t recommend it per se, but that after you experience it, whether intentionally or not, you find your lust for it totally gone. To be fair, I feel the same way about skiing and snowboarding, so maybe it’s just a ‘cold thing’, or even just an ‘effort thing’. None of that is really the point though, ammmm I right?
