Well, as of the time of posting, anyway. We’re showing some long-overdue short films created during my time at National Park Community College. I find it’s amusing that the vast majority of the videos we’ll be showing were either created by me or that I was involved with in so me way – people who stop by will be seeing my VG Theory Productions introductory splash about 7 times in the span of two hours, so that’s cool.
We’ll be debuting the world premier of “The Early Birds, The Movie: The Good, The Bad, and The Hungry”, starring Peter Danner Hess and Samantha Proffit. It’s arguably the most cinematic short film I’ve ever worked on, and there’s even talk among my partners that we will pursue a feature-length “Director’s Cut” this summer which could well find it’s way to film festivals if all goes well. What, you want to see what we’ve got so far? Fine, here’s the trailer(watch it on Youtube for higher-resolution versions).
Busy busy, indeed. Since spring semester let out to make way for summer break, i’ve been working on an indie movie project making a fairly nice salary – better than I get doing work-study at the college. Once that’s done, I will also be doing some more work-study during summer and again in the fall semester. Not a bad summer job lineup, if I do say so myself. This indie project, though, has been presenting me with quite a few interesting potential opportunities, including-but-not-limited-to acquiring a decent used van at a nice price. My director’s a pretty nice guy.
Eventually, when I find some free time and have the energy, I plan on revamping the blog and cleaning things up. I’ll be adding sections for all of my video projects, updating my bio, and things of that nature. I may even start posting a bit more regularly, though don’t hold me to that. I do most of my status updates as of late on Facebook. Feel free to hit me up and send a friend request, although I must warn you that I am pretty strict about the definition of ‘friend’, so write some sort of unique note to let me know who you are and how you came to know(of) me and we’ll see what happens.
There’s lots to discuss, but my mind is pretty drained at the moment, so adieu, comrades, adieu.
In a bout of nostalgia, I have uploaded an ever-so-slightly earlier cut of Making The Theory, a documentary included with the ill-fated Video Game Theory, Volume One archive dvd(it shames me to admit that this mp4 version is actually higher quality than the final dvd version). I figured I would give it away online for free just in case someone gets curious. Eventually, whenever I can find a good way to do so, I will upload the entire archive of Video Game Theory episodes as well for the illusion of posterity.
I am not fooling myself. I know, in the grand scheme of things, this entire post is moot, minute, absolutely meaningless to the rest of the world…But it’s important to me. I want people to know where I got my start. I want people to laugh at the ridiculousness of a group of naive kids surrounding a shitty mic, talking out of their asses. For almost two years, Video Game Theory was my life. I take full responsibility for not giving the show it’s due, but I am proud of what I, what we – Dillon, Josh, and Addison – accomplished with no experience, no budget, and absolutely shite equipment. It was a tremendous learning experience.
I only wish the guys would drop by and say a few words.
Ricky Coulter is most often found on Facebook, evil den of mass dementia that it is. Most of his content is set to 'Friends Only' at the moment, so feel free to send him a friend request - just be verbose and descriptive as to who you are, how you found him, and why you want to be friends, as he is a paranoid caveman and thus does not trust complete strangers.
