it is 2:25 am est. on 5/3/24

I am planning on doubling my subscribers and having at least 2 videos with 8k views within 8 months from now i have 158 subscribers. anyone want to take that bet oh and by the way? 1 of those videos with 8k views will NOT be click bait.

If ZOS is reading this: All I want is GOD MODE within Elder Scrolls Online so I can fly around and take crane shots to, well, make ESO an even greater masterpiece in the form of Cinema reinvented.

thank you for your time.

I've been creatively vibrating for 2 weeks over a new movie project that's seeing actual production.

What that means is~
asking people what they liked about divine wedding movie everyone said the 'dragons' and...

So I woke one day and decided...I am going to make a dragon movie.
And now the ball is rolling, it will not stop, it may take 4 months or a year...but by god it will happen.
There are three distinct phases of movie making: pre production/production/and post production. TODAY began phase 2 at precisely 11 am EST 05/25/24. Pre Production lasted exactly 1 year and 1 day. Within that time I've honed my editing skills, created two trailers, my wife has researched for days upon for back story and character development/plot, we have erected a discord server specifically for ESO Fanfarepassionprojects....all that motivational crap you hear on the youtube? basically says: NEVER SAY DIE, JUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

Iterative process proceeding well. We have concluded the motif of the movie: EPISODE 1: CURSED Motif: style and intrigue with a hint of aroma.

Now...i get out my scalpel and make an attractive scar. (scene 1, 30 seconds cut from 19x tracks of 10 minutes: BEGIN.

I made the first cut...the wright brothers came out of the womb crawling then baby steps then walked then ran. think about that!

The "J.B.'s Extended Mix Funky Good Time" is a legendary mix of the song "Funky Good Time" by the J.B.'s, a legendary funk band led by James Brown. The mix is often referred to as the "Funky Good Time" or "Funky Good Time (Extended Mix)".

Legendary has been done. Time to put it on REPEAT.

I spent about an hour doing something. Putting the 'I want to do all of these things', into a 12 step process, for my audio. 11 and 12 did not complete, but I'm so pleased with myself that I, within 4 hours got the 10 things done, (basically 11 tracks of audio organized).

The 12th step is leveling. On my Godslayer trailer if I had just one more day to 'level' the audio it would have sounded very much better, yet I had X amount of interest of time in publishing it that had run it's course (it was due). My ears were shot so I just 'winged it'.

For the actual Godslayer movie series the blessing is that there is no time crunch so I can step in fully with 'fresh ears' and spend 20 minutes moving dials.
Let me know if you'd like a private link.

Finished prototype 1.0 a couple days ago.
My writer disliked a number of ideas. And that's how a creative wife/husband/team work. Iteratively. lol. ;) but yes, "Persevere"

edit 9/14

I think I am sidetracked...A jack of all trades is a master of none so to speak. I have too many projects going. I'll get back at it soon.

I decided to work on AI music to produce an emotional 'hills and valleys' feel for the scenes. Sometimes a step back is required for two forward.

I have Three BIG irons in the fire going this week. I just started my FIRST comedy drama! Two small boys (5 and 8 yr grandkids) search for Billy the elf's gnome parents on my acre. lol.

The second: My wife and I had been at an impasse with our creative vision and I figured out the catch 22 of her writing the dialogue to my unforeseen vision and me shot listing to her unforeseen dialogue. (we're just going to shoot a 'from scratch' 13 scene movie for 4 hours Saturday generally pieced by our 80 shot storyboard, as a team where she 'sort of' tells me what the plot point and how the conversation is going at a local and I make up some angles and camera moves). Then I'll put it to the music of the 'mood' of the scene for the genius my wife to write the movie to.

Thirdly I need to finish/pump out a fun guild house opening I promised a guild leader in Elder Scrolls Online.

Oh! I also have to find time to play Skyrim for another movie lol.

so dudes and dudettes check it out:

My wife and I came to terms on our catch 22.

I spent 10 hours in two days diving into premiere and finished 1.7 minutes and 19 shots of visuals of my first comedy: Billy the Baby Elf, from the footage I took Saturday with my grandkids for 4 hours on my acre.

I plan. I'm a planner. I plan to not open it again until Sunday when my grandson comes over to help write it, (he's 8).

Thursday I do sweaty work. Maybe clean the garage. I know GBS asked his Gardner to leave him some weeds to pull. <that sort of thing.

The best place to seek God is in a garden. You can dig for him there. ~George Bernard Shaw​

Friday study my wife's writings and links concerning godslayer, and remove thought through meditation.

SATURDAY me. wife. hit record.
We will make a this is what the movie will look like movie. When we make the movie.

GODSLAYER.

the gif is what happens when an creative and a genius butt heads together and get married and make movies:

Over 1.5 years of preparation comes down to this: THREE shooting days.

My wife and I will fill in the rest. After it's all in the can by March, I may dive into after effects adobe for 3 months and see what I can do for it's release while completing the audio in post.

We've had a shoot on the 11th and 25th of January for 2 or 3 hours each with about 10 people. It worked out well. We have a shoot on the 15th of February if I can procure a large cast by then. After that I'm relieving my assistant director in Belgium and going with a gentlemen in Aussie. Meanwhile, I'm toying with an expensive 'addon' to adobe premiere called 'film impact'. I've made a prototype of the movie. I made an extra 'garbage' version to slap all the different fx on to test transitions etc. Let me know if you want to see the prototype.

That is correct as i stated 1.8 years ago. I will not stop. 1.25 hours work on it on average @700 days is? about 850 hours mas o menos.
This is the footage recorded the vast majority of which pertains to the movie: Godslayer Episode 1: Cursed. 3 TERA.
principle photography should be done in a week.
then we get to post...

Sincerely, Jason D. Smith

march 24 20/23 'I'm making a movie'. June 5 2025 I've made the first MASTER V.1 GODSLAYER. 35 minutes in length and a movie shoot on the 15th that may be the last 'biggy' that is to say 30 volunteer actors. From hence Melanie and I can pretty much perform the rest of the show!

2 weeks of preproduction:
We ran out of stamina but that's a GOOD thing. We shot for 3 hours about 10 of us from 2pm Est 06/15/2025 to 5 pm. Instead of *squeezing* in the final couple shots with 20 people we got our specific pic up shots of scene 11 and a lot of B roll AND had a great time talking about the origins of basketball, how good pistachios from Iran were, graphiti on the walls of Greece, and that the best chocolate came from one guys home of Trinidad, during set up times. A good 8 to 12 shots of about 7 seconds a piece I'll expect from 2 cameras @ 2 hours of footage each. I'm pumped. That's success.

Pick up shots take a bit longer to account for specific potential continuity errors ergo? 2 minutes of footage out of 4 hours of film, that's actually efficient lol.

Me as the director: Take number '5' lol. "we got it! cut!"
