The Multimedia Lookbook

Posted by Bloddard in September 30th 2011  

Ryan Koo announced that his screenplay for Man-Child had been accepted into the IFP’s Emerging Narrative Program, a program which as he puts it “provides mentorship and access to producers.” His script was picked along with nineteen others, out of literally hundreds. Much praise to him.

He mentioned that to supplement his screenplay, he will bring along a “multimedia lookbook,” which is a “lookbook” with a twist. A lookbook is comprised of still images from already produced works, in order to showcase how one wishes one’s film to look. Instead of still images however, he will be using video clips, hence the name “multimedia lookbook.”

It was very interesting to me that he would do this, because I thought of something similar (although I have no doubt this is common practice in the film making world) in regards to story boards, however. It just so happens that I cannot draw, I am perhaps the worst at it. Every time I came across the use of storyboards, whether on ‘behind the scenes,’ ‘making of’ featurettes from my favorite movies, or read about what the purpose of storyboards is, I always wondered how I would ever reach the next step if I wouldn’t have storyboards to explain to the crew and the actors what I meant, I could always have an artist make them but how would I explain things to him or her? Then I thought that using scenes from my favorite movies, ones that conveyed a similar message, would clear things up for everybody and keep me from going insane.

I’m happy, as someone who is looking to be active in the film making realm, to look to others and find that I have a similar way of thinking or frame of mind as them. It calms me down and reassures me that I am not too far off. As for the Emerging Narrative Program, I will be looking into that.

How To Clone Yourself

Posted by Bloddard in September 28th 2011  

On the campaign video for his feature film “Man-child,” Ryan decided to clone himself and play two characters, or rather be himself and then play an evil version on himself. He labeled himself a dreamer and his evil counterpart, a dream crusher. On a blog post on his Nofilmschool.com, he detailed how he accomplished the trick, which was immensely helpful to me. It turned out to be very straight forward, but what caught my attention was that he mentioned that it was something we all knew how to do, at which point I thought that I had no clue how to accomplish the effect, and that it was in my best interest to learn it. It also put in perspective the content that he offers on his blog, because he offers insight on a lot of the technical aspects of film production. I suggest to those of you don’t already, to follow him very closely. For those of you who, like me, were in the dark about this particular effect, I have embedded it below. Enjoy!!!
