I started googling film festivals in NY and NJ and ended up withoutabox.com. Started looking up IMDb qualifying film festivals and landed on the NYC Downtown Short Film Festival.

Turns out there’s a bunch of festivals in NY and NJ that qualify for IMDb. However, almost all of them are between $35.00 and $65.00 per submission. NYC Downtown short Film Festival was an affordable $15.00 per submission.

All that’s left is mailing them a DVD of the video and awaiting confirmation. Make du’aa that it get accepted.

After having done three episodes of Browntourage and another seven in the back burner – I wanted to take a new approach to it all. Instead of focusing the places or people, I decided to put the focus on story with a narrative.

A story structured in three-acts as well as following a “hero’s journey”

Let me know this short film engages you and makes you feel.

Last week I got back from my trip to Los Angeles and it’s been really busy since.

WHY DOES MY VOICE SEEM WEIRD?

For starters, you may notice that some of the audio sounds sort of weird – like cheap dubbing in the videos. The reason of that is because I ended up doing ADR – Automated Dialogue Replacement or Additional Dialogue Recording – for some segments.

The wind was crazy up there and it totally drowned out my voice from the mic, even though I had the wind resistant padding on it.

I figured after seeing the tour of ToddAO and Warner Bros. post production studios I wanted to give ADR a try. I’ll tell you that without ProTools it’s messy business.

If it’s not automated and you’ll have a bit of difficulty getting into the same mood and emotion to sync the audio and video together.

A pain in the butt really.

MY PLAN TO A SUCCESSFUL STUDIO PRODUCER

My plan is to simply exhaust all routes until I get to where I want to go. The way I see it, its going to take a lot of hard work and sweat.

What better fuel for that than passion?

One of the routes I’m in the process of initiating is starting an internship. Basically take in and train focused and dedicated individuals on producing content with Leechon.

I was hoping to launch this initiative in October, but client demands, seminars, classes, and being married it taking its toll.

My objective is to launch this internship initiative before the end of the year, no execuses.

I’ve finally caught up with my sleep and getting ready for another trip which would be this Monday – this time to Vancouver!

Today I managed to put up some “in-takes” of browntourage. Watch and comment!

Recently on Facebook I posted up a pic to get people’s feedback and responses on ways to improve the Browntourage series. In my opinion a great dialog took place and found four ways to improve the series in the next upcoming episodes.

Before I lay out the points, the reason I’ve started this series is:

I travel a lot. At least once a month I’m flying out to somewhere. There are amazing people in each of these places and I learn a lot of things from them. I also see many beautiful things – stuff that you wouldn’t see unless you left your home.

This series is my way of sharing what I’ve seen and the people I’ve met.

The improvement points are:

• Set naming structure in accordance with the premise of the series. Change “Episode” to “Trip”

• Keep up the coherency of the episodes/trips. Communicate where I’m headed, who I’m with, and why I’m with that person.

• Don’t just include people, but include lot of people who add substance and content to the episode.

• Where visuals failed to communicate what’s going on, use a narrative to structure a story/plot to enhance it and have it be more engaging.

You’re more than welcome to add to these points inshaAlah.

SOME PHOTOS YOU CAN ENJOY FROM THE TRIP

View from up top Mt. Lee, behind the "Hollywood" sign. Photo taken by: Raffael Dickreuter My personal camera wasn't able to capture the grandeur essence of the Los Angeles skyline.

Right outside of my host's home. I love how lush it is.

Watch the PILOT EPISODE here: http://www.leechon.com/browntourage-pilot-episode-939.htm

If you haven’t been following along, the reason for this trip was to attend a seminar hosted by Film Specific called Going Global Bootcamp. Read about it here:

• Going Global Aftermath – PIPE-lineing
• Revisiting Tufaan
• I’m Going Back To California To Going Global Boot Camp

I want your feedback as to what you want to see in the upcoming Browntourage episode. NOTE: this assembly edit doesn’t include any post processing of enhancing the image and having it properly fill the screen. All that will be address in the coming passes and edits.

In this episode is the story of my trip to Los Angeles. The things I’m considering including:

• Hanging out with Baba Ali
• Chilling with my host and his kids
• Hiking up Mt. Lee – up to where the hollywood sign is
• Breakfast with the 3D Poet Hossein
• Chess match with my host and Mahdi
• Photos I shot while I was there

What are something that you want to see in the video from among what I’ve mentioned and what I haven’t.

The “grave digger” comment is in reference to Riza’s video from DiscoverU Certification and the conference thats being reffered to is the Youth Leadership Conference I posted about earlier.

The Panel discussion I spoke at was recorded on video and you can watch over at MessageMastery.com
