At the moment I hope to do a full length version of Obsessed & Scientific. Just need to look into getting the money. I also have a couple of other documentary ideas kicking around.

Also have been working on a horror screenplay for a while now. It’s slowly coming along.

Keep checking in here at The Documentary Blog for future updates. Also, you can check out http://www.filmjunk.com, where I do a podcast and video cast with some friends.

As for film projects, for now you can check my ‘channel’ on YouTube:

I tried both methods with the same result but hey serves me right for using IE7. Just tried it in Firefox and Firefox was like “Hey no problem, I’m all over this” and now it’s worked and I’m listening to it.

IE7 managed episode 4 fine so I dunno what the deal is.

I’ll be keeping an eye on the site from now on, anything in the pipeline, film-wise?

I didn’t see your comment on the first podcast until now. Here’s a link to that Time Travel Fund website:

Thanks for checking out the film! Not sure what the deal is with the podcast. I just tried it myself and it worked fine. Are you downloading it or just listening to it through your web browser? Try both methods. If that doesn’t work, i’m not sure what the deal is. Also, maybe see if you’re having the same troubles with the other episodes?

ANYWAY, I’m glad I did because I thoroughly enjoyed it. I understand what Henrik is saying, but I really enjoyed the Titor bit the most. I know it’s probably a massive prank, but you dealt with it objectively enough and it makes for a really interesting story.

It’s made me really want to write a story based around time travel, I’ve always wanted to do it, up there with writing a great ghost story and a great alien story. This spawns from my fanaticism of Back to the Future, Ghostbusters and E.T.

ALSO, NOT a fan of podcasts but yours look too good to miss. Downloaded the first part and I can only get 13 seconds! I’ve tried it a couple of ways but no luck! Any ideas?

Thanks.

I have to say that I really enjoyed your Podcast series and your finished documentary! I thought it was very unique that you included the segment regarding Rob Niosi building a Time Machine replica.

Personally, I would think a feature length documentary based on the John Titor story would be pretty fascinating! I have been following the Titor thing for a while and I find it very intriguing.

All in all, I think you did a great job. Congratulations.

Mike

Just some thoughts..

In case you missed this in the Film Junk comments, here’s three more short films that I made while in school. Henrik, you may be pleased to see a pre-movie blog Nagy in one of them.

So I finally got to watch your movie. I liked it. There were things, of course, that did seem a little student-filmy, but I think that stuff like the Times Square footage really helped the movie alot. Have to say the interview that was sound only, you handled very well. The tape-recorder and all that sort of low-tech science equipment, I thought was awesome. The opening credits were good. I really like opening credits in movies, and doing them practically is an awesome choice.

I thought the first 5-6 minutes were a little heavy on the editing. I don’t mind the style of jumping from one subject to another throughout, but I did feel a little like the things they were saying got lost because you were wondering who was talking when. Also there were times where the things being discussed seemed a little incoherent. It was nice when you included the bit where the guy mentions the John Titor Y2K thing, it made it seem more like there was actually something there, rather than a wacky internet scheme. I personally am not that excited about John Titor, what really got me hooked was Kaku. All that Star Trek science, combined with the history of people like Einstein totally got all my nerd-impulses on full alert. Where did you shoot the stuff that was like in a museum? And where did you get the bugs? That portion was my favorite. And Kaku did seem like he genuinely was interested in it as well, and I thought he was an awesome speaker – even if he may be a bit cocky and fond of his own voice.

Overall, this was a very good job. A little heavy on the music I thought, I didn’t mind the music being played, but I am very pensive about when to use and when not to use it, and I thought it was too much personally.

I think a feature-length documentary on the actual sciences and the real deal so to speak would be alot more interesting than the John Titor thing though. It might not be as sexy of an idea, but at least it’s bound to be authentic. The other thing kinda falls into being a mockumentary I think.

This was a good idea, and well executed. You should be proud, because this could have been horrible.
