Orange St Films has created a #new web-series called 'A Week with Mark'. It's about Mark Darby Robinson, an actor who lives in Wilmington, North Carolina. We've worked with Mark on many, many projects over the years and felt like his life and his story needed to be told. He is very unique, odd, goofy......well we could use a thousand different verbs to describe him. That's one of the main reasons we wanted to do the series. We wanted to preserve his unique life and to show how talented he really is. I've had numerous people say to me that they thought he was just some bum walking the streets of Wilmington and little do they know what he's accomplished over the years. With that being said our goal with 'A Week with Mark' is to open the world's eyes to show who Mark Darby Robinson truly is. So we will release the first episode tonight on www.aweekwithmark.com and also on the youtube channel we created for the web series youtube.com/aweekwwithmark Below is an old trailer we cut several months back. We will post the series in a blog tomorrow

The weather is changing, well depending on where you live, the leaves are changing colors and its getting darker a little earlier each day. That's right people....welcome to fall. One of our favorite times of the year. We're not called Orange LEAF Films for nothing......wait, we are #OrangeStFilms not Orange Leaf Films. Got a little carried away with excitement at first. We do love this time of year here at the company, probably most of our team's favorite time of the year. Random blog post, we know but oh well, what ya going to do? So sit back, grab a pumpkin spice latte and enjoy some football.....or whatever it is that tickles your fancy.
So how many people out there upgraded their #iPhone's to the new #iOS7 operating system? We did it yesterday afternoon and are really digging the layout and smarts that Apple has put into this upgrade. From iPads to iPhones it is very cool and change is good in our eyes. A lot of people are scared of change but if you want to move forward in life you have to embrace change because well you know.....change is inevitable. We at Orange St Films are still very big advocates of #Apple and are not giving up on them (although they've given up on the Final Cut Pro studio software, haha). So anyways this #blogpost is going nowhere fast so we are going to go ahead and get on out of here. By the way if you are on Instagram find our company and give us a follow if you'd like.....if not that's okay too. Have a great day.......here's a link in case you change your mind.
http://instagram.com/orangestfilms Let us preface this by saying that having a full crew on shoots is a very good thing. But with that being said we feel like every aspiring filmmaker should learn how to do almost every aspect of producing a video, commercial, movie, etc. It's all relative. We've preached this for years and feel like you are doing yourself and your craft an injustice by at least not trying to learn the different fields of #production. You don't have to be great at all the different jobs in #videoproduction but you are much more of a threat if you gain a little knowledge of #writing, #directing, doing #camera, #lighting, #sound, #editing, #colorcorrection, #music, #exporting, etc. It's taken us years to learn the different aspects and we still have a long way to go but learning to do the different jobs have helped us cut down on costs leading to keeping our clients budgets lower.....which is a very good thing when you are making a living out of video production. It may seem overwhelming but it's really not, if you are just willing to learn. Plus it allows you to see the entire production in your head from start to finish and when you get to that point in your filmmaking career that's a very good feeling. So by learning the different jobs on sets it allows you to be more reliable and credible when you are on a bigger budget set and you are able to know a little something about others jobs on that particular production. Stay humble, work hard, learn, always be hungry, and be ready when those bigger jobs come your way.
We said a week or so ago that we were going to post some old #videos on our blog to show off some of our work that never really got seen.......still may not if no one reads this blog, haha. Anyways every year, over the last few years, Doritos puts on a commercial contest for a 30 second ad for the SuperBowl and the winner gets their commercial shown during the big game. A couple years ago we decided to produce a few spots and really did them on a whim. We didn't give them much thought and really just did the #commercials for fun in our spare time. So we used the talents of the great #MarkRobinson to be our main actor in the 3 spots and we had a really good time shooting and editing these. They are not much and are out there but take a minute to look at them and please share any feedback. We'd really love to hear it. Video is more powerful than you may think. |
