In order for me and everyone to be on the same page, I took stills from "The Girlfriend Experience" to use as examples of what I am looking for in shots, as far as American Gumbo. I can't draw for shit, so this is how I usually have to due it. It's more fun, because not only do I use the stills as examples, but it also allows me to study composition and color. Here are the pics, so let me know what you think...
I just entered this competition yesterday for Moby's new video. I am really proud of what I've submitted, and love the way the video is portrayed from my perspective. I am now in the process of whoring myself out so that I can get votes and win the contest, so I can get a real camera and film 'American Gumbo', or what ever other film I want to make whenever I want to make it (it's called freedom, and I don't have it right now). So, please vote for the video, and spread the word...
