This film was a weekend family project of mine. It was the second movie I shot on digital (actually half DV and half Super 8). It was put together in a weekend and shot with the intent of sending to my sister Auria who was living abroad in Italy at the time.<\/p>\n
I remember staying up late with my mom and my nephew Avery and working out the outline for the whole thing. We laughed pretty hard. It was a challenge to find all of the costume and make-up supplies in the middle of summer around Palouse … but we managed to put together what we needed.<\/p>\n
It stars my nephews Jared and Avery, my mom Tina, my sister Shandra, her husband James and me. My friend Dave is a special guest star as “Uncle Sad Clown”. His wife Heather was a camera operator for one shot. We filmed it in my mom’s house “as is” without altering any of the native decorations.<\/p>\n
It looks pretty rough to me now of course … heck – it looked rough to me then. Integrating the Super 8 with the DV was difficult at the time. I had the footage telecined locally in Portland and up in Seattle with varying degrees of success. I ended up just transferring it myself with using a method of my own devising (projecting a tiny image and macro shooting it with my DV camera).<\/p>\n
The film still makes me<\/em> laugh, so I hope people can enjoy it for what it is. Keep in mind it should NOT be watched by children!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [qt:blog\/movies\/pagliaccios.mov \/blog\/movies\/pagliaccios_poster.mov 480 320] Double Click the image above to play: ~100mb (10 min.)
