This scene was cut from our original submission. It was fun to do, but the time constraints made it impossible to include. This is RJ as the plumber and his grandchildren as the “kids”
We are working on a final cut that will include this scene.
Well, the 48 hour film festival is over. I have been up for the last 40 hours straight and I am tired. It was fantastic fun. I assembled a wonderful team of people and am very proud of the work that we did. I would love to make a feature film! There are a few things I would do different, but not many. I would mainly do the same things next year but be a little wiser.
Our film Genre was Silent Movie so there could be no dialogue. There could be music and sound effects. I chose no sound effects. (with the exception of a record screech and a video game coin sound)
Please leave a comment!

Well, after weeks of anticipation, we drew our Genre. SILENT FILM. It is definitely restricted by having NO DIALOGUE, it is not restricted in that it can be comedy, horror, drama etc. We are busy putting together the most ridiculous seven minutes of film ever.

The prop is coins, the character is Carl or Carla Ross (A Plumber). The required line of dialogue is “Who came up with that?”
Casting for the 48 hour film project was tonite. These are photos that I captured.
Times are busy, busy, busy. A good group of folks and myself have entered the 48 hour film contest in Des Moines. Starting at 6:30 on Friday July 23 and running until 6:30 Sunday July 25, (48hours), our team, (and about 40 other teams in DSM) will write, shoot, and edit an 8-10 minute short film. For the next ten days we will be practicing writing, filming, lighting, and editing so that when the 23rd comes, we will be ready. None of our practice stuff will make it into the film in any way, (that is the whole idea of everything happening in 48 hours). However, these two clips are from a practice session last weekend. ENJOY!

To re-iterate, these are practice sessions for acting, and camera angles and sound. We have no idea what our genre or film will end up being.
This is William Elliott Whitmore singing “Black Iowa Dirt” at the 80-35 music festival in Des Moines over the Fourth of July weekend. I recorded the audio separately and added some video from the festival to round out the four and a half minutes of video that I shot from this song. Here is a link to his site
They are demolishing the old Polk County Jail. Fun to watch. I am working on a long video of NYC, and Washington D.C. expect it soon.
