You’re going to fail. Deal with it.

YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL!!!!!!

Yes, you are going to fail. And fail hard. I am going to fail, and fail hard. I am probably failing at grammar right now.  It is what you and I do with that failure is what is the difference between successful people and those who never rise above.  I have failed numerous times, yet here I am still working and moving forward. I have learned from those failures and make the best out of them.

If your parents never let you failed as a child they truly cheated you out of the best lesson they could given you.  If you are reading this, and you are reading and have kids, let them fail and fail hard.  Then turn around teach them that it it ok to fail. Teach them to get right back up, learn from their mistakes and try again but even harder. This, besides manners, is the greatest gifts you can give.

Here is the truth, I am a shitty ass artist. At least in my mind. Yet I am going back to making art once again. Hopefully I dig some of my work and maybe someone else will enjoy it, or at the very least, lie to me.  Yet I try and learn. One day I hope to make pieces that I will approve of and think it is good. As a filmmaker I have made numerous mistakes, but difference is I have learned from them, and it has made me a better filmmaker. I will fail again and again, and each time take that failure and grow.

Fail and fail hard. Then learn from it and go at  it again.

 

 

 

 

always try

SORRY FOR BEING AWAY FOR SO LONG.

Oh Lord Jesus, I apologize for being away for so darn long.   A lot has happened since I last wrote.  I went to my first festival that I was in and I directed a music video for the cancer charity Relay for Life.

I had a project that I started to work on then it died on the vine however, I do plan on resurrect it in the future.  The feature film is being written as I write this and I am really excited,  so I will let you know more as it progresses.

Oh, we were going to do a short film for the NBC Film Festival but then decided to not green light it for we would have only given us 30 days to raise funds, plan it, shoot it, edit it and do all the that is entailed in post.

So what is going on now?  Well I have stepped back from film making so to speak. No I am not getting out of film making on the contrary. I am stepping back to start my production company and dive into a lot of reading and research about film making and the business of film making .  I will write more on starting up  the production company very soon and get your feedback.

Oh Yeah one more thing,  the filmmaker speaker series is up and running. Filmmakers Speak started with Russell Hess and our next speaker is Rich Nation.  More to come on that.

OK Love you all.

Update on Film Speaker Seminar

Ok well here is a bit of good news. Keiser University is allowing me to use their campus to hold the film speaker seminar. I have some really good people lined up and will be announcing the first date soon. It is my hope to help the Bay area’s film community become stronger and better equipped with knowledge and the tools to be successful.

I plan to hold them once a month. They will be about 2 hours with a 10 minute break.  I am still working on details.

Also if you would like to be a sponsor please contact me at timschroyer@gmail. com

What a difference a an editor can make

What can an editor do for you?

I have worked with 3 editors so far. The first one I worked with was a disaster. He couldn’t take the simplest of directions, was a know it all and just couldn’t edit.  On one of the the music videos I worked with him on I refuse to acknowledge.

Then I recently worked with Miles Harris on the Bomb Shelter music video. Let it be known, he made that music video to what it is. He had a vision and the skills to carry that vision out.

Now I am working with Jason Coté who is editing a trailer I directed and has turned it into a really good piece. And when finished it will be something to be proud of. It will be out soon. He is slugging away at the final cut and it should be out in a week and a half.

So the moral if the story is this post, find a good editor. Pay that editor because it is money well spent.  Editing is so important andI am sure you have seen many films and a lot of music videos where the editing was atrocious. Editing can make or break your project. Find a good one and someone you trust.

Bomb Shelter

I am proud to present to you all the my first music video I have directed. My friend and one of Tampa’s best Hip Hop artist BC recently put out his second album of a trilogy concept album.  We did a video for the song Fallout Shelter and shot it at a club and used the office as the fallout shelter. We also use the back of the club for the scene with the children.

I had a great team. Me and BC collaborated heavy and Mudd Buddha  was our DP. We had to shoot it in about a week because of the scheduling of the children.  As far as the editing, BC’s friend Miles Harris edited it. He and I both had the same vision for look and feel of the video.  I love how he used and edited  the footage.

Our next move is to enter it into the Gasparilla Film Festival. I am proud of this video. I have gotten really positive  feedback especially from filmmakers and musicians.  I hope you enjoy it.
