Films
All the films I’ve ever made, in order of release.
“Colin Vs Thierry EP 1: Real or Fake
“Dartzzz” -2011
The 5th and final collaboration with Luke Covert. This was made on the road trip to California after moving from New York. I intended to make more films on the road trip but never did. This one’s pretty weak and the editing is kinda crap.
“The Straw, The Coal, and the Bean” -2011
This was the first ever film I made for a class. It was a short film based on The Straw, the Coal and the Bean by the Brothers Grimm. It was a cute little tale and I enjoyed getting together all the legos to represent each respective character. All in all this was a very fun film to make.
“ClippeR” -2011
For years this was my favorite film I ever made. I loved the tone, the atmosphere and the animation. Now-a-days, It might still be one of my favorites, but I don’t think it’s aged well. I intended to made this for this animated film contest Nickelodeon would run every year. I tried as hard as I could to make it the best I could for the contest, but when it came time to enter, I found out Nickelodeon wasn’t running the contest anymore. I was furious. But in hindsight, it probably would’t win.
“DRAW!!!” -2010
This was one of the first films I made that I really spent a lot of time editing in. I spent two weeks total editing it. I was really proud of it. Now a days, I look back and it’s just a bunch of fart jokes and angry birds references. It’s not terrible, it’s just lukewarm. Also it marks the 4th collaboration with Luke Covert.
“Lego Zombie killer EP. 2 The Woods” -2010
The second exciting episode of Lego Zombie Killer! I saw the pilot episode of the walking dead 20 minutes before making this, so it had a lot of influence. For instance, I called them walkers rather than runners, and a souther boy hits a man in the head with a shovel. Pretty rushed and incoherent, but a fun trip down nostalgia lane.
“Lego Zombie Killer EP.1 The City” -2010
So rather than making lego zombie apocalypse part 3, I decided to try my hand at another episodic series. This one marks the adventures of a badass zombie killing dude in the midst of an apocalypse. It was made in under a week and was really rushed. I intended to make these one a week, but yeah that didn’t happen.
“Short Action Movie” – 2010
Wow, what an inspired title. Filmed my my best friend Mary Scibilia and her cousin, who’s name evades me now. It’s pretty lame, and christ did I take myself too seriously.
“Lego Warfare” -2010
The fake blood was ketchup. I remember I used to think this was the coolest thing ever when I made it. Now it’s just really lame and cringe-inducing.
“Night of the Killer” – 2010
Don’t let the title fool you, this is a piece of crap. A completely bad film. Filmed and edited over the span of 3 hours, it marks the third collaboration with Luke Covert. I guess it’s worth mentioning that it’s the first ever “horror film” I ever made.
“Lego Zombie Apocalypse part 2” -2010
This is one of my fondest film memories. I can remember how much I toiled to get everything right. The lighting, the characters, the music, the puns. For the sound effects I recorded them off my dad’s gun app on his iPhone. It’s still a piece a’ crap, but damn if it doesn’t get me nostalgic. I like to think of the turning point. As if everything stemmed from this piece alone.
“lego zombie apocalypse pt 1” -2010
My first ever zombie film! Made in the early days of 2010, it marked my second ever stop-motion film I ever uploaded to youtube. It was one of my most watched video’s for years, and to this day people ask if I’ll ever make a part three. That being said it kinda sucks.
“PAC MAN the movie part 2” -2009
The second part to the thrilling PAC MAN saga! I should probably note we did not actually have the right to the PAC MAN property. Namco’s gonna be busting down my door any day now.
“PAC MAN the movie part 1” -2009
Yet another collaboration with my Cousin Luke, this one is a two-parter. This marked my first ever film to use fake guns. I thought this was the coolest thing when I was young, now I think it’s rubbish.
“Detective Carl” – 2009
Made in the summer of 2009, this marks the first of my “episodic” videos. I intended to have multiple episodes of Detective Carl, alas, there is but one. It also marks my first collaboration with Luke Covert, my cousin who’s also a filmmaker. Like all my early films, it sucks.
“Attack of the KILLER PEZ Dispensers” – 2009
I made this because I could. I saw how many other youtube’s would just make videos just for the heck of it and I wanted to do that too.
“Monkey Boy” – 2008
The Second Film I ever made. Made with paper in under a week. It’s bad but it’s alright I suppose.
“The adventures of LEGO Fry Boy and Indiana Jones” – 2008
Well, can you tell it’s the first film I ever made? Made in the fall of 2008 with a trial version of iStopmotion with what ever legos I had lying around. It’s pretty bad, and the camera work is atrocious, but it’s fun to at least look back on it and see how far i’ve come. As Danny Boyle once said, “You’re first film is always your best film, because that’s when you really don’t know what you’re doing. There’s a raw bit of innocence there that you can’t ever really capture again”
