Stuff we use:

LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important.  This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner.  Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - http://amzn.to/2tbtmOq

AUDIO 

Rode VideoMic Pro  - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio.  It also helps us sync up our audio in post http://amzn.to/2t1n2hx

Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - http://amzn.to/2tbFlM9

LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light.  We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - http://amzn.to/2u5UnHv

COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - http://amzn.to/2t1M67Z

EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did!  This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work.  Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - https://goo.gl/56LnpM

Why Most Scripts Are Rejected After The First 3 Pages - Cody Smart

Podcast #1 - Script Writing 101

James - 'The Fear Of Not'

One of the voice overs scripts I wrote and read for John Howlin Ford's radio commercial.

JohnHowlinFord VO_V2

Welcome to LEGEND OF THE DARK CRYSTAL.

Maddy and Ryan go back and re-read a GENO script Ryan had written for them to film in their teens 2001. It's pretty bad, but wildly entertaining. There are hour long descriptions of what everyone is wearing, dialogue makes no sense, and plot holes on where the Dark Crystal even is throughout the script. They are joined by their friend and Atomic Blue actor, Ry T., who helps act out the parts.

The plot of this "film" centers around Poochy, Pepper, Flame and Wolfpack, who are trying to stop the evil Ragasha and her crew, Hunter and Dr. Rez, from using the dark crystal to merge the dark world with the light world. Also features a cameo of GENO's Kyt Fawkes. Also the mall.

If you are here because you've watched GENO, then you will be familiar with some these characters, such as Poochy and Kyt. But don't worry. These were the "cool" versions of Poochy and Kyt, because this was written by Ryan as a teenager. There also some heavy influences from X-Men, Resident Evil, Legend of Zelda, the Fifth Element, and Final Fantasy 8. No one is surprised by any of this.

GENO is a sci-fi series produced by Atomic Blue Productions!
You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/AcOGmOX79nw

This is a one-off special podcast of our YouTube show "Throwback Theater" where Maddy and Ryan watch, read, and react to their earlier productions from their teenage years.
