Film 105 – Senior Seminar on Silent Film. A course with Prof. Kaes at UC Berkeley

July 22, 2013
by admin

This class is a “senior seminar” – it is only meant for people who have completed their undergraduate studies in Berkeley and are in their last year before graduation. I figured that I could smuggle myself into the class based on my prior experience in filmmaking. The first day of…

Evolution of locations, from 1-4. First, a relatively crappy film that we shot in 48 hours behind my house in an alley. No planning, no professionalism. Second,a small but well-planned., location-scouted mini shoot with 2 crew and 2 cast that we shot on an amazing cliff in Palos Verdes, no permit. Third, a location I actually got from being persistent and nice, for my film "Terminated"; it's a huge cubicle array and we had permission from the department that managed this space. Fourth, a location from my most recent film "All I Want Is Silence" - a complete result of blind luck, but I spent 4 days location scouting in order to have this blind luck happen to me - also, with official permission from the owner.

Getting Chaplin’s Film Crew Together – in a World of Theory @ UC Berkeley

May 19, 2013
by admin

In order to shoot “All I Want Is Silence”, I need a crew. There are only two problems: UC Berkeley’s film program is a film studies, not a film production program I am new here, so I have no idea who is good at filmmaking, or who would be interested…

Location Scouting and Writing for a Chaplin-inspired Short Film at Berkeley

Location Scouting and Writing for a Chaplin-inspired Short Film at Berkeley

May 18, 2013
by admin

Prologue & Getting the Idea In one of my classes, Film 105 (Early Cinema, 1895-ca.1920), one of my colleagues asked “Can we also do a short instead of a final research paper?”. That student, Nathan, also has experience in filmmaking, hence the idea of shooting something instead of brooding over…
