If you are not aware of FALLOUT – Where have you been?!?

FALLOUT is the latest short of critically acclaimed director Paul Del Vecchio, and one of the best entries of the “Dare to Direct” Contest from Chiller TV.  (This link is direct to his short – please support Paul by adding your vote for him!

I first met Paul on Twitter when someone (think that it might have been Azy or maybe Stu mentioned him) posted on twitter about his winning the Dirary of the Dead DVD contest.  In my process of learning more about him we started to converse about work and web marketing and over the past few months have become friends.

Paul is a true DV Rebel in every scene of the term!  (Stu would be proud!!!) The most amazing thing about Paul is he’s very candid about his thought process and I feel that he really is earnest in his passion for others to be able to be a Rebel just like him!  Well I say all of this fluff to introduce his latest view from behind the scenes – a detailed view of just how he did what he did with FALLOUT!

It’s broken up into three ten minute segments for your viewing pleasure – and it can all be found on his blog!

Required (Re)reading – Jay points out some seriously great information regarding sound for film! 
We see with our ears, just as much as we do with our eyes!  Because of this essay – I’m think of elements with in my projects much differently then before.  Check out this quote form Jays post…

““Designing a Movie for Sound” lives at FilmSound.org, and despite the title, it’s not about how to be a sound designer. If anything, it’s about how to be a screenwriter and director, and how tounderstand what sound can do for a film…”

Awesome information!
