Button was a complete blast to film. Currently I'm in the process of editing it and everything looks amazing. Working with the right people has made all the difference. Our actors were fantastic and our crew always knows how to have a good time while still being professional. This is the first time I've shot on 4k and I don't think I can ever go back. The colors! The Contrast! If anyone has any questions leave them in the comments and I'll try my best to get back to you.
by Michael So today I was reminded that myspace still exists and it got me thinking about how cool it all seemed at one point and how I thought there was no way that facebook would trump this wonderful place where you could add loud designs and embed like crazy, but then we all got old and decided myspace was childish and we left. Well we abandoned it and forgot that if you weren't one of those few who in the end straight out hated myspace and deleted their pages then your profile still exists. Or in my case... Three profiles as I thought it was cool to have a band page (me and garage band application) , A film page, and a regular old profile. Today i dug in my brain to remember the logins and when I did I unlocked hilarious treasures I thought long forgotten and probably should be. I'm still impressed by the layout of these film and music pages in comparison to facebook. Where it's all links in doobily doos click here to redirect there etcetera etcetera. So today fat tuesday I encourage everyone to find thhir old page or make one now. p.s. in no way is this an ad for myspace. If anything it's an ad for memories and Let’s be totally honest here, who gives a crap about the Oscars? I mean yes, the pageantry in nice and it’s cool to see performers get rewarded for their hard work. It’s nice to see achievement brought to those who provided us entertainment. But, is that what are the Oscars are all about?
The largest benefactors from the Oscars are the studios. The Oscars serve as a ranking and help the studios pull talent. This year Warner Bros. swept with 10 Oscars wins placing it far in front of 20th Century Fox, which came in second at 3 wins. How will this play out? I for one am very interested to see. Disney, with two wins both for the movie Frozen, seems posed to dominate the summer box office. With diminishing domestic ticket sales year after year, summer proves to be the time in which the studios can really rake in the cash. Disney makes a killing with their Marvel franchise but Warner Bros. hopes to close that gap with their upcoming Batman Vs. Super man flick. Batman Vs. Superman is set to be released in 2015, which gives them a year to build up to it’s release. Disney was able to build up The Avengers making it the third highest earning movie of all time. To compete with this Warner Bros. is hoping to cash in on the comic book market with its DC comics catalog. Superman has always proven a tough sale but Batman has sucked in the cash time and time again. Yes I know all I talk about is comic book movies, but let’s be honest that’s all you really care about. With all the wins yesterday Warner Bros. should be able to get some good directors and some great talent to helm with upcoming projects. If they’re smart they will finally go ahead with a Wonder Woman movie. By: Gabriel Lara

A few musicians were on tour and this was the last leg of their journey. There was beer, music, and a bon fire started with a flare gun.
