So YDKS Movies hasn't had an update since January. Which is very sad. I never meant to let this place go. However, in the midst of my senior year of college, I just got wrapped up in other things (graduating, getting into film school, filmmaking, social life, etc.).
Senior year is over now and, in the fall, I'm off to film school at the Savannah College of Art and Design. I have a lot more free time on my hands and would like to start updating this place a lot more regularly.
In the next few weeks, expect to see posts every now and again. I'm not doing a post every single day like I used to but I will update this place every week. Expect to see regular topics from the past start to recirculate. I will also finally finish a list I started before YDKS Movies hit its slump (15 Most Hateable Characters in Film).
Since I haven't updated since January, I'd like to update you all on some of my film work. I have made two short films since I stopped updating and a few test films. I just recently purchased a Canon EOS Rebel T2i and it has really changed the way I make movies completely. I love this camera so much.
The first film I'd like to share with you is called "VHS." It was filmed on my old Canon XH A1 so it, unfortunately, doesn't have the visual prowess that the other videos that I'm going to share with you have. Still, it's a good story and I'm really proud of it. It deals with an outcast dealing with high school and how a female classmate befriends him in his time of trouble.
Watch it below:
The next video is called The Informal. It is a test film I did at the 2010 ST Informal in Jackson, MS with my Canon T2i. It was the first thing I edited that I shot with the T2i. It just chronicles the dance that we had that night. The thing with this video is that I wanted to demonstrate what could be achieved with this camera without color grading and very little editing. All the footage is fresh out of the camera and it is all shot with a 50mm f1.4 lens. It's all very pretty stuff.
Watch it below:
The last video I'd like to share with you was also shot on the Canon T2i and is called 3 P.M. It was a film shot in two class periods for my Acting II class. The assignment was that we had to view the Senior Art exhibit and pick one piece to base a film around. The piece we chose was "HDR Display" by Kyle Hancock (the piece appears in the film). Anyways, the movie is just a short, fun little thriller. Hope you enjoy it.

I hope you all enjoy these films I have been making in my absence. And I am, once again, sorry to let this place go like I have. I look forward to updating once again.
