If you don’t remember, then here’s a recap:

And now, here’s my reply (I recommend watching it full screen):

And now, here’s me overanalyzing and explaining:

“Happy Birthday Murderer” was about death.  This was the stone that I began my ideation process off of: What comes after death?  Well, to that I had one answer: Resurrection.  And what is an ongoing symbol for resurrection?  The Philosopher’s Stone.

However, along with resurrection and alchemy, I also wanted to explore the theme of multiplicity, which was certainly present in “Happy Birthday Murderer”, and I also feel it was present in the other three works of THE TAPE.  So, multiplicity+resurrection= The four classical elements.  My overall working point for this new web (in case you wondering “Copyright Infringement” was the theme and inspiration for the title of “In Fridge”. I have given away the secret). In order to explore the four classical elements, I broke each down into an exploration of a thematic portion of THE TAPE. Let’s take a look at that.

FIRE: I told you you weren’t the only one who could make soup, Andrew.  Except “No Chicken With Onions”, the calcuttan dish, is NOT A SOUP.  My feelings were hurt when Andrew cooked my package, showing a disregard to something I put a lot of time into and was very proud of.  I understand that Andrew did this because, in order to get “In Fridge” on THE TAPE I had to tape over “I Got The Poops” (Boulder’s dubbing facilities sucked, like many things), but it still hurt my feelings.  So, I devoted one entire element to the cooking and eating of package elements from the Hard-drive and the Perfectly Ordinary Box.  It was cooking, it was vengeful, and it was angry. Fire.

AIR: How best to represent Air?  Sound, which is something I feel Andrew’s pieces have had a bit of, but “In Fridge” was lacking.  So, I took an oral examine for my French class last semester and started editing it.  One of the ideas that I’ll explore later is that “Happy Birthday Murderer” was a film about me.  So, in return “Powerful Magics” had to be a film about Andrew.  Thus, I took his narration from Shrimpocalypse! which included some fun extras like “FooOOOooOOtbaaaaall PraaAAAaaaAAAActice”.  Finally, I also had Nepetalactone by Venetian Snares.  ”In Fridge” introduced the idea of “leit motif” (that’s film language for “A repeated musical theme”).  I decided to take this idea, and have a techno breakdown in the middle of the film.

WATER: Water was found footage.  I may have had reasoning behind this. “Happy Birthday Murderer” introduced actors, namely Landyn Banx.  I decided I’d use a common actor, and I took Landyn’s demo reel from youtube.  In “Happy Birthday Murderer” Andrew used footage from All The Presidents Men, an inspiration to him.  I decided that I would use footage from “The Room” in my reply to him.  I also wanted to bring back the cat motif we’ve established in the other two pieces, but was absent from “Happy Birthday Murderer”, both because I enjoy this motif and because THE CHOPSTICK CAT IS ADORABLE! Also, there’s the popular YouTube video/meme that’s been common since “I Got The Poops”.  I had my footage, and yet I was still missing something.  Fortunately, I had one other reference to Mr. Gingerich: 16 Heads and Counting.  How’d I get the footage?  Well, I did some sound editing for it, and due to my paranoid thinking that he may need the footage back, I’ve kept it all these years.  Finally, the photo of me from “Happy Birthday Murderer” was taken from promotional stills from 16 Heads (which also starred Landyn Banx, see the connection?).  I took Andrew’s promotional still from that very same photo shoot. Thank you Facebook.

EARTH: The only other reply to “Happy Birthday Murderer” that I had to address was the interviews.  Well, I don’t think “Happy Birthday Murderer” was an adequate response to “In Fridge”, mainly because I don’t think Andrew put as much work into it as I did mine and he did “I Got The Poops”.  This is understandable, as he’s editing together a Political epic, but I still wanted to make sure he knew I was calling his bluff.  So, I had people criticize his film.  After all, this was a movie about Andrew.  Also, over December (when Andrew was busy bettering the world and working on a nobel cause) I was housesitting for the Gingerich’s.  I’m sorry that I took advantage of this and filmed without your permission, Andrew, but….

So there we have it.  I could say plenty more about this film, but I don’t want to.  I have a headache.  But I CAN say more about the packaging, but must wait for another time.

This first one is a project Andrew Gingerich and I shot last summer when we were trying to decide on a movie to watch, and instead decided to make this.  Remember Skin Removal Cream? Well that was for this same project. Enjoy!

Next is a commercial for Drunk Button, the button that makes you instantaneously drunk!  This is apparently for a multi-media play that’ll be showing in Santa Fe in the near future.

And finally… RRRR? That’s on the internet? Well okay, I guess this’ll work I guess. RRRR is from my Sophomore year of High School. It’s about Scrabble and the end of the world and… oranges maybe?

So there.  And, no, I’m not a one-dimensional actor.  Why would say that?  I’M THE GREATEST IN ALL THE WORLD!

I have a new credit on IMdB.  No, it’s not because I’ve submitted some of films to festivals.  It’s for a movie I acted in and helped with locations the summer before I stepped foot in the halls of art school. It’s a film whose title is 16 Heads and Counting: A Love Story With Teeth.

For some reason, the film’s website is still up.  Here, I shall link you to the trailer.

So there. I play a crazy man in a dog suit, and yet I am not credited as such.  Discuss.

Also, on the subject of IMdB.  The latest worst film: Daniel: Der Zauberer, followed closely by Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2.

I looked down at the blood-covered doctors coat I was wearing. I should never have agreed to this. I should never had let my guard down.

Now they are dead. They are dead, and I am the murderer. It is also my birthday.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am a Man who has been pushed over the edge.  And someone has just eaten my package.  A storm is coming, friends, and that storm is me.

A few stray observations on the “Murderer” package:

1) The boxes are getting larger.

2) We still have the inclusion of YouTube videos.

3) Whats this? Actors? ACTORS and SPECIAL FILMING?!

4) Ah, yes, still with the popular songs, I see?

5) Thank you for the homage.

6) You’re not the only one who can make soup.

And thus begins a new web to be woven.  What was on that most mysterious video tape?  Oh, well you shall know in due time.  For now, let’s just say it’s a birthday wish. A very special birthday wish.

Me being myself, I chose to go a different route.  I chose to shoot and create my own apocalypse.

This proved to be rather difficult however, because as of right now I still don’t know the Boulder area nor do I know any people to con into being on a film crew or to be actors.  This meant I had to make the apocalypse alone.

With the help of Andrew Gingerich, the Wikimedia Commons, and Night of the Living Dead, I’ve created this: Shrimpocalypse! Now originally it was to be due yesterday (Friday), however it’s been pushed back a week.  This means that you, my seven readers, can tell me if this works or not.  Please, any feedback you can give would be greatly appreciated. Please. Tell me anything.

Now it’s got a new name, and it also has a trailer. So watch it, maybe? Because this was my month of July.

The Film was directed by Andrew Gingerich, written by him and partially by me and a whole bunch of other people, and it’ll be out spring/summer 2010.

This was shot entirely on VHS and is part of a larger work temporarily titled Plastix Ultimate. It’s a movie about soda, perseverance, and personal finance. Stay tuned for all of it.
