To Make Better Music, It’s All Dynamics

Yin and Yang, good and evil, screaming and silence. Dynamics is a word used to talk about the quality of sound. Do you think a lot about loudness, build-ups, articulation and intensity when writing a song? How about how all of these affect clarity between instruments and your melody? You should because this is what often separates good musicians from mediocre ones. Having a song roughly the same…

Three Funny Sci-Fi Shows to Watch in April - Amazon, FX, and Fox

Three Funny Sci-Fi Shows to Watch in April – Amazon, FX, and Fox

Here are three fun sci-fi shows to watch in April (while we redesign). The Tick! – Season 2 Yes, one of your favorite zany comic-book characters is back for some wacky hijinks. I was initially concerned it wouldn’t live up to the fun of the original 1990’s series, but I’m glad I was wrong. Find it here on Amazon Prime.

Synopsis: “In a world where superheroes have been real for decades, an…

Ant-Man: Good Ants, Bad Father Figures

Fairlyhuman analyzes what it is to be Ant-Man in "Good Ants, Bad Father Figures." #antman #filmreview #hipandtrippy #fairlyhuman #racism @marvelstudios

Ant-Man is a film punctuated by: spectacle, gobs of CG ants, slap-stick comedy and quasi-racist caricatures. With all of these elements you might think you’re watching a George Lucas movie , although this is likely superior. When I learned that Marvel Studios was making an Ant-Man movie, I was thrilled to see a cinematic bridge to Age of Ultron. After all, Henry ‘Hank’ Pym created Ultron in the…

Tips for Digital Loaders, Data Wranglers and DITs

I’m not here to argue what a digital loader, data wrangler, DIT (Digital Imaging Technician) or a post-production data manager does. In fact, there is often ambiguity between these positions, especially when shooting on a remote location or within a studio environment that’s trying to save money. When recorded media (audio and video) leaves set, it often goes through someone like me. I prepare…

Don’t Be Despised! Film Crew Dos and Don’ts

Don’t Be Despised! Film Crew Dos and Don’ts @pyragraph #film #filmcrew #filmnm #hipandtrippy

If you’re starting out as an amateur filmmaker or on-set technician, know up-front that it can be a highly demanding and alienating experience.

Being on set can be as cliquey as a high-school-teen-TV-drama. It’s also a place where military-style stratification and classism are king. Did I mention it’s easy to be fired?

If you are just starting out as an indie filmmaker or find yourself on a large…

Get Your Screenplay Right

Get Your Screenplay Right. @pyragraph #screenwriting #filmmaking #nm #albuquerque

It’s in Hollywood, indie and art film. It’s an amalgamation of capitalism and art, and the bane of your artistic career.

It’s quality over content.

Inspired by beautiful cinematography, a moving soundtrack or some form of cinematic wizardry, we aim to conjure the best-looking and best-sounding films we can muster. These distractions often lead us to ambiguity, however. We forget filmmaking is not…

Of Course I’m a Faker

Of Course I’m a Faker @pyragraph #film #confidence #oldenburg

You’ve likely heard “fake it until you make it.” However, I am here to tell you to fake it and then fake it some more.

After a sleepless flight from New Mexico, jetlag, bone-chilling rain and less-than-ideal hotel arrangements, I found myself living off free espresso in the VIP lounge at Germany’s Oldenburg Film Festival.

Unlike other festivals, the filmmakers I met there were not only awkward…
