Still sequences, ‘Theodore of the Absurd’
Had another great shoot today for Theodore of the Absurd (dir. BT Glanden). We shot a scene that takes place in an “underground artist colony” – the really cool thing about this project (shooting-wise at least – the story/dialogue is awesomely ridiculous) is that most of the film is made up of still photos. So the majority of shooting has been done in stills, with a few parts of the movie with fully moving image (including a music video shot by Shaun Clarke, which I got to do some wacky dolly gripping on).
These images are each a sequence of stills that I combined to show the intendend movement. In the film, they’ll be cut sequentially, rather than put together side by side.

Video: Pilgrim Sands video, rough cut/audio
Rough cut: Pilgrim Sands “Always At Home” promo – (placeholder music, rough VO) from Jon Dorn on Vimeo.
This is a rough cut of a Pilgrim Sands Motel promo video, ‘Leave It To Beaver’ style. I actually used the LITB music for this, as a placeholder since that’s the type of music I’m going for. The voice over is a rough recording too.
Feedback welcome!

“Tourist” selected for Binghamton Student Experimental Film Fest!
I just got the word today that “Tourist” (starring Harry Quinn and Scott McEwen), which I made December 2009, was selected for the Binghamton Student Experimental Film Festival. I’ve never had anything in a film festival before. First time – so needless to say, I’m very excited about it.
Just thought I’d share. Here’s the movie. Another thanks to the Pilgrim Sands for letting us shoot there.
