Less Than Three

My latest Bobism post, Love In Numbers, on www.lostinsunshine.com was inspired by a true story I read titled, Less Than Three. Immediately, it intrigued me. What's that all about?

As most of my friends know, I also belong to a production company, which produces paranormal-related documentaries with our team in Austin, TX. We've released four feature length ones, and a couple of shorts, which all stream live (and free!) on our Aether site in high quality. We've recently had a little hold up, since we're collectively working on a BIG project that could really put things over the top for us. A location most would die for. Seeing how we don't have our own TV show, and aren't famous, things take a little more time to solidify (sometimes). :) But we are confident we'll get there. It just might not be until this fall. So we'll shoot a couple of short films in the meantime (i.e. stay tuned for me and Shad's adventure to Haunted Faust Hotel in New Braunfels, TX!). If you want to keep up to date with what's going on with us, join us on FB.

And of course, I hope to be shooting LIS with my fabulous Sunshine team this fall, too. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Yes, that's part of the biz. While I'm waiting, I'm not really waiting though. I'm constantly searching the world for things/ways that inspire me to make myself and projects better. Inspiration can't be grabbed a hold of, or purchased... it must be felt. So, when something inspires me, I really like to bathe in it for a while.

The blog post, Less Than Three, written by our friend, Brian, about a funny moment he shared with his lovely wife, Anna Marie, (with Ghostology - in the paranormal entertainment industry) really made me smile, and inspired me to write the current blog entry for Bob about love.

Some people believe that, 'all you need is love' while others are far more practical about this emotion. Regardless of your viewpoint, most of us have felt its power. It can be fun, silly, profound, and inspiring in moments we least expect it.

Bob's (LIS' lead male protagonist) a man of promise and wonder. He's constantly looking for the next way to be inspired, too. So, it's no wonder that he found this sweet story about an expression of love to be both enlightening, and touching.

Inspiration comes in the most surprising looking packages. Don't be afraid to open different ones up.

Got Paranormal? A true guerilla adventure..

So, if you've been reading this blog you know that it's predominately about me making my first feature, Lost In Sunshine, and any helpful advice/links/names I can provide YOU with to save you time, money and sanity (every bit counts in the indie world!). But I must mention another collaborative project I'm working on with the Aether Paranormal team. We just released our new documentary online, Ghosts of Goliad, which we filmed at the Presidio La Bahia in Goliad, TX. Wow. What an interesting place....

The team consists of myself, Shad Chancey (my husband), Carly Bell, Beaux Jackson and Matt Williamson. Our newest (and last) addition is Chad (AKA: Doug) Richardson, whom we'll introduce before our next film. We're an artful group of young professionals with one common goal here - to catch proof that paranormal life exists. That means something different to all of us.

You can view our entire documentary online FREE at our website (click on link above). The link is: http://www.aetherparanormal.com or you can YOUTUBE it and watch the TRAILER. So far, we've had an overwhelmingly supportive audience. Thank you!!

And to let you beautiful film people know what can be done: we used three different types of cameras on this shoot: canon XL1, HD panasonic SD1, and a cheaper night vision camera. We filmed over the course of a weekend, and did everything pretty much guerrilla style, with the exception of some very slightly premeditated introduction scenes. We didn't have the luxury of going there before we shot, so what you see - is what we had time to get! Thankfully, we stayed on top of our game, never veered from our goal, and got some pretty cool footage to work with (remember, it has to be cohesive... oh, yeah, right). :) We purchased a package of equipment to aid us in our investigation, and scheduled a meeting with a local historian and paranormal investigator, Bill Corey, before arriving to the fortress.

Although the next adventure will be more organized, and better planned, our improvisational, visual approach created a solid documentary with a more cinematic feel, unlike anything else out there. Tracie Austin from Let's Talk Paranormal (radio/TV show) called it, "raw and archaic." I say, think Blair Witch meets Ghost Hunters. :) The rest is organic, movie making history!

Right now, we're in the midst of starting up our next investigation at a supposedly haunted hot spot right here in Austin, which we hope to film on FRIDAY, FEB. 13th (scary!!). Keep en eye out at our website for our next round table discussion about it.

Just like a feature, you have to work your butt off to make these things happen. And that requires a good, solid team you trust and a few lucky stars. For me, movie magic happens when a collaborative group of professionals all throw their speciality skills in one pot, leave whatever egos at the door, and focus on one common goal. All of my projects are interconnected to what I adore in some way, shape or form, or there would be no motivation for me to do them.

For me, Aether Paranormal is fun, exciting, and adventurous. It's also an opportunity to share the adventure with YOU. We hope you enjoy the experience!
