Hectic Films goes to the FAIR

Hectic Films goes to the fair....Crazy huh? Yeah we thought so too. The bastards at the door wouldn't let us bring in our cameras so we decided to take some pictures instead... White man is always bring the non-budget film maker down! Anyway we started our adventure through the mullet woods and into the forrest of cracked out carnys (probably one of the coolest place we could have filmed (but the white man brought us down) So anyway we kept on trucking over to the rides...

After two crappy rides we left in search of something really cool to do. Like mountian climbing or dart throwing. Something wit a lot of fun and action, but we really couldn't find any thing really exciting some we looked at some carnys and..


played some quick games to win the carnys most prized treasure....... Ok we show you this you can't tell anyone how cool it is or who told you about it... We don't need carny magic to come back to us and maybe kill Jason.


Carny sauce is the most prized treasure to the carnys. I mean how do they give away all those paper framed emiem pictures without shedding one tear?! CARNY SAUCE.. They also believe that carny sauce is what starbucks uses in their coffee. Who wants carny sauce?! Who?! Carny sauce will give you the strength of 10 full grown carnys or at least enough energy to slap a ride together with your bare hands, run the ride and smoke a roll your own cigarette all at the same time!

Anyway, back to our adventure.....


We got lost in all the fun and starting having bubble adventures. See that big guy on the ground directing the bubble? Thats Darren. He loves bubbles. He usally does these "bubble stunts" (as he likes to call them) naked, but for the purpose of this blog and our website he put on a t-shirt. Lets just say we tried to keep the camera shots high. Anyway after Jason's head almost exploded from the pressure inside the bubble I decided to give this interesting extreme hobby a try....
So then our free ballin' friend decided to pull a bubble around my head. Let me tell you there is nothing like it... Its hard to describe and really hard for you to really understand unless you've been there.. Kinda like war. But I guess I am going to do my best to describe it.... Um.. Its kinda like have a bubble over your head?? Ok just go down to the fair and kick the little kids away and give it a shot. If you can't go to the fair to try it then maybe get some dishsoap and a hula hoop. Well before we left Jason (being the caring guy that he is) decide to donate some of his "man wig" (as we like to call it) to charity. I guess their is some bald animal fund. Here is a picture of Jason standing next to his man wig.

Well that is our story about the fair. We are hoping to try and get a real camera in to the fair and film a HF behind the scenes, but it looks like our camera isn't going to get past the guards so maybe you can print out these pictures and make a flip book out of them...

SODA Puppet

We just handed off the felt for the soda puppet to be made. Don't know who SODA is??? He is the mascot for Hectic Films man! He is the penguin exploding at the begining of some of our videos. We are bringing him back and with a little feeling... We started to make a cartoon of the guy, but it just wasn't working.. So we decided to make things more exciting and throw this penguin in a few shorts. You may have played some of the games with his face or even remember some of the first intros to hecticfilms.com .

Debra is the maker of the puppet. (click here to check out her website) and is also helping us with the final project. Hopefully we will have the puppet completed before the film fest. We want to do a story about the life of SODA.. Anyway.. We should have some footage with our new friend soon to come, but as soon as the puppet is completed we will post some pictures on our Film Maker Forum. So keep on the look out for the crazy exploding puppet SODA..

Filming the Lords Day One

Well with all this "planing to film" stuff you would think we are somewhat close to getting done with our lords project........ Well your wrong.. We just started filming the project on saturday... Without the lights we order or the mic we ordered! But we did get to test our new greenscreen that we made... AWESOME... I don't care what anyone says.. Greenscreening is my favorite thing to do! Anyway back to lords.. So my brother Tate and I set up shop at a house way out past the airport. It took us a while to set up, but once we did the actors starting getting a little crazy... I don't want to go to far into to it, but lets just say that I had to turn my head because I started getting freaked out. Lets just say that Jim knows what he's doing..

I think the hardest thing about this project is the fact that we are trying totally new ideas with our no-budget film project.. I don't want to reveal all the secrets, but let me tell you that this film is going to turn a few heads.. We are trying our best to make the people watching it say 'how did they do that?

Oh and I brought my camera (to take behind the Scenes Photos) and we will try to throw some pictures on our film maker forum.. The link is to the left on the top of our home page..
