In the future, the United States is a monarchy, ruled by an exalted chancellor who has declared that God hates Aerosmith. Aerosmith fans are routinely hunted and killed. This is the story of the last Aerosmith fan alive…

A new film from Jason Outenreath. Link.

(Slightly) Improved Site

van — Fri, 02 May 2008 05:39:10 +0000

New features include:

Redesigned header (Removed that janky dropdown menu system I had, added breadcrumb navigation in it’s place)
Search (Down at the bottom. An odd place, I know.)
Now Works in IE6 (This bullet point took A LOT of work)
Improved Image/Video (For images, I’m now using Cabel Sasser’s FancyZoom. For video, I’ve ditched that janky lightbox thingie I had and simply embeded the video onto the page)
Real Contact Forms (Hopefully this will cut back on spam)

That’s all.

An excuse to make those cool laurel leaves

Jean’s Postmodern Masterpiece has been accepted into the 2008 Ballston Spa Film Festival. The program runs from Aug 1-2. It’s free.

From the site:

Oberlin College sophomore Jason Outenreath wrote and directed this sharp satire of ego-maniacal student filmmaker auteurs. The lengths Jean will go to for his art are nothing compared to the lengths he’ll go to for his reputation among his peers.

Jean’s Postmodern Masterpiece, now with video

van — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 01:25:17 +0000

I’ve updated the page for Jean’s Postmodern Masterpiece with production stills, credits, the full movie.

Oh, and the film introduces the new animated logo for Two Cut Films.

Updates, small and big

Some updates:

Complete backend overhaul (The entire site is now managed by Wordpress)
Videos now play in house (They used to run off Blip.tv)
Now works (with varying degrees of success) in IE6
New logo:

Then there are the minor things that took me hours to do but which no one cares about:

Background no longer looks like crap (It used to have lots of banding). Okay, a minor issue, but it took a long time to solve m’okay?
Menu now highlights selected items correctly
Color change from Sapphire (#339) to Azure (#369)

Just when I thought I done, IE6 pulled me back in

I spent the last week or so revamping the site. You know, bringing it into the 21st century. Web 2.0, or whatever the hip kids call it these days. I added some nice semi-transparency. Removed borders, added more negative space. And when I was done, I took a step back and admired my work. I even had a lovely beverage ready.

Just when I thought I done, IE6 pulled me back in.

So, I was at my cousins’ house this weekend. While “fixing” her computer, which as an aside basically consists of me uninstalling expired trial software and installing free or open-source alternatives (Goodbye Reel Player, hello VLC), I noticed she still had Internet Explorer 6 installed. I thought I might see how badly it rendered TwoCutFilms.com before I replaced it with version 7.

Well, it turns out that this site is completely unreadable in IE6. Without getting too technical, IE6 apparently hates transparent PNG’s.

It’s back to the drawing board.
