  • Urban Nights Insider 4 – Late Night Footage

    After completing filming for Urban Nights segment Late Night Stranger a couple of weeks ago – see the Urban Nights blog for details – It was decided that some behind-the-scenes footage I took on the set should become the fourth episode of the series Urban Nights Insider.

    This episode features a short message from Producer Shelby Jones (me!), and some behind-the-scenes footage from The Late Night Stranger that I shot. It’s really funny! =)

    I plan to continue making episodes to keep everyone updated with current Urban Nights progress.  As mentioned earlier, the official Urban Nights blog is also a great resource.

    This was a great opportunity to learn more about film creation from a fellow independent director, and I am glad that they accepted our offer to be interviewed for the premiere episode of Reel Talk!

    If you haven’t seen the movie, I strongly recommend that you do!

  • Late Night Read-through

    Hello there, take a seat if you will; Here is the story of Shelby, the producer of Urban Nights. After hitting a family & friends holiday party this Friday night, I wrapped up the rest of the evening sitting in a loooong read-through of the Urban Nights script.

    Why weren’t we filming? Good question. Our location canceled their appointment to let us film tonight, so we will regroup and try again next week. Not wanting to waste valuable time, we opted to have the cast read through and adjust the scripts.

    After all the re-reads and edits, we decide to watch an Independent film that was made by one of the cast members of Urban Nights. The movie was Yule Die, directed by Seth Middleton. A special video review was spawned in the middle of the night, and will be out this week as part of the SquidFlicks Christmas festivities.

    We were finished at around 3 AM Saturday morning. I am still tired. 😀

  • SquidFlicks Movie Marathon 1 – Nightmare on Elm Street Series

    Press Release:

    A new online video series that features popular movie series being reviewed in a group setting has debuted from SquidFlicks, a small movie review web site. The video series has long been in the works and has finally been published after weeks of promotion and work.

    See the video, and leave comments if you’d like!

    I know we have have a lot of things to improve upon, but the only real problem we had was the AC current ‘buzz’ in the audio of the first of the marathon. In the future, all electronic devices will be moved away from the camera and mic cables.

    Enjoy!
