The REGULARITY Is Near #3 - New Frontier
The bad news is, our new website isn’t finished yet. But I’m still kicking off a weekly RECording entitled The REGULARITY to direct our collaborative creative process.
The good news is…
We’re going to SUNDANCE! Yes, hitRECord.org is playing Sundance 2010. We’re setting up a workshop at the New Frontier on Main Street. We’ll have cameras, microphones, computers, an internet connection. And you! We’ll be collaborating with the creative community of Park City next January. Come play!
Over the span of the 10 days of the festival, we will start and finish a complete work of art. A veritable Hit Record. Something we all make together: me, you, artists of Sundance and the entire hitRECord global online collective. And when we’re done, it screens.
I’ll repeat that. What we make together is going to screen at the Sundance Film Festival. Wanna be a part of it? You are.
The REGULARITY Is kicking off now-ish. And this is what we’re buckling down getting ready for. January 21-31 at one of the coolest, highest profile, and genuinely artful creative happenings in the USA.
Now let’s get to work…!This year’s Sundance collaboration is going to be awesome.

Made in collaboration with hitRECord.org.
Originally posted a couple weeks ago, and now finally posted to vimeo for embedding. (the new website will offer its own embed codes, heh heh)
“A renewed hitRECord is coming 11/11/09. New website, new production company, new regular RECording routine.
It’s been nearly a year now, I’ve been working on the next big step for hitRECord, and I just haven’t told you guys about it yet, because I wanted to make sure I had figured it out before I started running my mouth.
We’re developing a new top-notch website. We’re starting a new collaborative production company. And I’m committing to hit RECord on a regular basis — I’ll be making a weekly video to keep us all on the same page and working together. All of this kicks off on November 11, 2009.
I’ll be making several more videos like this one to get into the nitty gritty of what I’m actually planning to do and why. For now, this intro video is just to get your attention and whet your appetite. As said Andy Warhol, “the idea of waiting for something makes it more exciting.” We’ve got a little over a month until 11/11. The REGULARITY Is near…”

Here’s a little extra that we couldn’t put on the DVD.
This is a very crude animatic of the opening childhood sequence from The Brothers Bloom (COUGH now available for rental on DVD and BluRay COUGH) that I created early in the pre-production process. As will be immediately and humiliatingly evident, I did all the voices myself. The artwork consists of storyboards by the very talented Daniele Auber, and it was all put together on my laptop in Final Cut Pro.
Minimal resources, very slapdash, but it ended up being an invaluable tool in showing both business and creative folks we were courting how the whole thing would come together.

Mississippi Halfstep by The New Time (via Vimeo)
One of the most enjoyable music videos I’ve seen in a long time.
Check out the aggressive dance choreography — wickedness.

Just got some more information on this (amazing) video from Amanda Meyncke who worked on it — apparently almost all the effects are practical:
“We had fleshy masks that they then shone little pen-lights through, and then we set off rockets and fireworks and later they compiled the whole thing. So some of it has been digitally enhanced, but mostly not.”
(Amanda also interviewed Rian about The Brothers Bloom for Film.com, and it’s a great read).
