Creativity to Spare

Sorry I have been dark for quite some while. Much has been happening in the background. Much like a voyage to some far away place, I have been working diligently on projects that will be seeing the light of sun soon. I did another movie challenge in February for the A3f (Almost Famous Film Festival). This one was a 48 hour challenge and I decided to challenge myself even more this time out by trying my hand at stop motion animation. The results turned out very well. My usual group of actors (friends) were not available so I starred in this short. It is called Tax-Free Time. It is viewable on fluxydoodle.com. I will post it in a more public place soon. (any ideas as to a good site for indie short movies?)

On the Music front, I have finished mixing my new TripNet CD and it is called “Acquisition of Signal”. Again named far the period of absence of signal since the last CD. If you want to check it out some new tracks will be posted online. I will update this very soon with links. The previous CD is still available on iTunes and I have found it on the Last FM website where you can listen to it. I posted my Kantele music video on there as well.

I have joined a few social networks if you are interested in befriending me.

Twitter – soundorphan
Facebook – Chris Bailey
MySpace – TripNet
LastFM – soundorphan
and of course YouTube – creativitytospare (I will link all of this soon, trying to get this post started before teaching class today)

In fact just yesterday I was featured on the How-To page on YouTube. The description is not by me and is a bit misleading, but being featured is good none the less.

In Photography, I received a 50mm fixed lens for my Nikon and I’m very happy with the results. I will be getting my act together and putting some shots on flickr. I know I know.

Now to this site. I hit a bit of wall at the end of the year in deciding where to go next, so I’m still open to suggestions. (hello is this thing on?) I have an idea of posting my short movies, one by one and talking about all the production techniques I used and learned through making them. Lots of little tips and tricks in each. Thanks again for checking out my site.

Hey everybody, I went this last saturday to Podcamp AZ. It was great. I met a bunch of really cool people and learned a whole lot about social media. Changes and updates to my site soon. Check it out here.

If you have any suggestions on future show topics let me know. In the pipeline: an interview on how to start a record label, the New Logic Studio, simple tips for better sound. I’m thinking of adding voicemail comments to the page

Hey everyone,

What do you think so far? I’ve got many more shows planned. DIY teleprompter will be soon, along with DIY camera stabilizers. Tell me if you have any ideas. Leave some feedback, and tell your creative friends and family about the site and cast.
