Envy The Making Of: The Directors Cut

Posted by Wilson in Envy Movie, movies, production diary on November 7, 2011


Writing a screenplay is no easy task. Trying to shuffle your ideas into one cohesive linear story that would hopefully make the audiences feel the way you feel about your writing can be somewhat daunting. Add to that directing the whole affair, then editing later as well as engineering sound effects to go along with the film and you’ve got yourself the perfect mix for madness.

Luckily, Clarence Dass was already crazy enough to go through the motions of getting a short made, and thus, Envy was born.

To have a chance to see what creative albit crazy process goes on in that zombie delight of a brain of his, check out his thoughts, musings and trails and tribulations on his blog:

“I get ideas in a number of different ways. That’s one reason I like to read a lot and watch as many movies as I can get my hands on. These things seep ideas and concepts into my work in many interesting little ways, and when I got the idea for the script that would be “Envy”, it came to me in a dream. When I a woke from this dream, there I was at five in the morning, quickly turning on my pc to jot out what would become the first draft of Envy…”

Envy: The Making of Episode 2

Posted by Wilson in Envy Movie, movies, production diary, video, Video Post on October 27, 2011

Like all great trilogies, the most fun happens in part 2. Granted there’s no cliffhanger, or Han Solo frozen in carbonite, but we’ve got blood, green goo and an aspiring policeman complete with handy (and heavy) torch.

Here is Episode 2 of the Behind the Scenes of Envy. As always, the smooth rolling Albert Rolls is the interviewer, and damnit I forgot to add Gabe Gravell as the lounging lizard in the middle of the video.

The youtube version is also embedded for your convenience. Dead tauntaun entrails not included.

Envy: The Making Of Episode 1

Posted by Wilson in Envy Movie, movies, production diary, video, Video Post on September 19, 2011

Why bother with a behind the scenes, making of nOOb Productions short “Envy”?

Because we can. And because we shot a lot of behind the scenes footage during our shoot, we couldn’t just let it go to waste like that :)

Mind you, during the interviews, you can disregard the messy bookshelf on the right side of the screen. Or the shoddy lighting. Small indie budgets tend to have an effect like that. But it’s all in the spirit of film-making.

Interviewer: Albert Rolls

Edit: Here’s the youtube video for you non-vimeoians.

Envy: The Movie

Posted by Wilson in Envy Movie, movies, video on August 1, 2011

Here it is at last, our submission film for the Kula Film Awards 2011.

With the awards night over, we came 2nd, losing out to Cannibal Island for the 1st prize placement. But after seeing the entries, we’re glad that we lost to another horror film.

We’ll have a production diary up soon.

Graphic Designer: Boss, here’s the poster for the new Super 8 movie.

Boss: What? Where? This? What’s this?

Graphic Designer: It’s…the poster. For the movie.

Boss: Poster?! We can’t use this for our newspaper times ad! Looks like someone forgot to turn the camera the right way up! Why are there silhouettes? Where’s the main star power?

Graphic Designer: Well it’s about a bunch of kids tha -

Boss: KIDS?! This poster ain’t no Harry Potter! Get me another poster for the movie!

Graphic Designer: Well we have the teaser poster…

Boss: Sweet Mary – did I just walk into a fucking Art Gallery? Where are the people? Last time I checked, movies were about people! People!

Graphic Designer: Well it’s going for more of a minimalistic -

Boss: Minimalistic your pay grade! I want a person in place of this damn artsy fartsy camera glorification photo of a damn poster!

Graphic Designer: Watchmen.

Boss: Yeeahh. That one. Grab a picture from that movie and put it in. People here like superheroes. Besides, there’s a damn ‘super’ in the title of this one, we might as well give them something to get excited over.
