15 Apr A Desk A Day: Stand Up Station
James Crouch has a desk that is set up to stand up while doing computer work. Most recently he was scrubbing footage he shot from SXSW for Do512. Below is the desk in all it’s stand up glory.
13 Apr Intern Recollection – First shoot with Moth to Flame
Anyone who knows me, knows that I don’t believe in accidents. I’m a firm believer of the rule, “everything happens for a reason.” If you go through a breakup, there’s a reason, if you get fired from your job, there’s a reason, if you bump into one of your kindergarten classmates from 40 years ago, there’s a reason…..you get the idea.
08 Apr A Desk A Day: Kellie’s workspace overview
AAAAAhhhhh…….my workspace. Seeing someone’s desk in my mind is akin to seeing the inside of the trunk of a car; unique to each owner. Here are the highlights of mine. Mac desktop, calendar, notebook, lamp, and whatever I’m working on at the time. I like to keep my desk pretty clean and neat, just makes me work better. There’s the spider I created for the Valentine’s Day animation laying next to my keyboard. I want to frame him because he turned out so well but have yet to buy a tiny frame. His legs pop off pretty easily too…
25 Mar A Desk A Day: Getting Organized
On Monday Christine, Kellie, and myself went through all the stuff Christine has accumulated since the creation of Moth to Flame. This photo was taken when we took a break to have dinner among all the equipment. We spent a decent amount of time just putting the Moth to Flame name on items. After long days on sets you can forget if extension cords and chargers are your’s or belong to the location owner. Also when the majority of your equipment is black it tends to blend in with other people’s equipment that also tends to be black. The rest…
19 Mar Throwback Thursday: SXSW 2012
Well SXSW 2015 is going on this week, so seemed fitting to share some interviews we did back in 2012. Check them out below!
18 Mar A Desk A Day: Overcrowded Desk
Well there it is…my desk. I’ve mostly been doing blog work lately using wordpress to get it all setup and scheduled. A little rundown of what’s in the picture. Those big black speakers I use for music production, though they do come in handy when editing video. Also it’s nice to listen to music on good speakers. Reading is important to me so I always have a few books nearby. That orange halloween cup contains a variety of pens and pencils, paint brushes, tide to go pen(I spill things often), a pair or two of scissors, and some other random…
13 Mar Texas Film Awards 2015
James Crouch attended this years Texas Film Awards and took some photos. Maybe you’ll notice a few people that look familiar.
12 Mar Throwback Thursday: Where there’s smoke there’s Jonny
On the set of the Doritos shoot we needed a magical smoke plum to transform a rather sleazy looking guy(played by Adam Duncan) into a more attractive man with Doritos shorts(also played by Adam.) In this gif you can see how Jonny Greenwald got the effect of a decent stream of fog, as opposed to the rather weak puffs the fog machine put out on it’s own. Basically a bag was filmed up with the fog then released all at once.
11 Mar A Desk A Day: Holding down the Fort
Here is Kellie Penna’s current workspace where she discusses shoots and editing notes with Christine who is currently out of town(as you saw last week.) This is her current intern, Casey Jones, who tends to distract from work more than help.
05 Mar Throwback Thursday: All Smiles
One of the most entertaining times working on the set of Funemployment was when we got to take over The Hideout Theater to serve as a backdrop for a scene. Lots of laughs were had during the filming of this scene as Matthew Broussard(pictured below) was allowed to do some improv for the cast and crew.
