WTF? An internship at a nightclub? Jesus H Christ. What is there to particularly learn at a nightlcub anyway? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to serve drinks, collect glasses or work on the door.

Either way he's not doing a particularly great job of it.

I have this image of the club he worked at being like that film A Night at the Roxbury, with 'What is Love?' by Haddaway playing and shit.

I was brainstorming again on making my first film for cheap and an idea occurred to me. I'm always researching to get the best equipment on a low budget, but then I started thinking...why not shoot a film on VHS or BETA?

Poughkeepsie Tapes is one of the most psychologically disturbing films I've ever seen, even with some of its campy acting. And the disturbing shit was shot on VHS tapes. V/H/S had a couple of interesting segments where they actually did shoot on the format. It's cheaper and there's something completely unsettling about watching something from the past in a format that's basically deteriorating. Let alone something weird happening in the footage itself.

I never been a big fan of low-budget horror films (or horror films in general) but they are easy to make and there is an audience for them. And the few films I do like in that genre are either psychological (implied) or torture porn (explicit). Implied is alot cheaper and freakier if done correctly.

Fucking netflix.

I'm trying to watch horror movies, on top of having ALL of the HellRaiser movies (which are fucking boring) they give me these suggestions like "Hey, you just watched Evil Dead, Exit Humanity, and GuardPost...you might like Insane Clown Posse Zombie, Redneck Cattleranch of Doom Jamboree"

I mistakenly click on Jeff Combs while scrolling over The Frighteners and find out they have FUCKING REANIMATOR ON THIS SHIT! WTF WTF WTFWTFWTF!!!!! Why was it showing me some other shit when theres a perfectly good zombie movie on the fucking service. WTF!

BTW Watch Exit Humanity its pretty freakin good.

My supervisor's cousin directed the original Reanimator, which is a pretty cool movie. Exit Humanity looks like a civil war zombie film, so I might check it out.

I'm also considering the Survival genre like 127 hours. Some of that film (or all of it, I can't remember) was shot on a GoPro or camcorder and the results are very effective.

They werent even paying me, I never technically worked there, I was just an intern. Hell I even cut my own hours at my real job and changed my availability so I could do that internship, I was taking a pretty big hit financially between food gas and missing work every week, I was bending over backwards for them and thats how they repay me? Nah, i'll just work my regular hours now at my actual job and keep all that extra money and wait to hear about the new club opening up where I'll actually be making money.

:rotflmao:

You think thats all there is to it? I was hooking up all the audio equipment and DJ euipment on 3 different stages each night, 2 CDJs and a mixer on each stage, all going through power condensers, and other sound boards that adjust highs mids lows to the right frequencies so the stages sound awesome, also setting automatic bypasses on these equipments so the DJ doesnt clip and go into red and blow speakers or fuses from too much power consumption.

Also had to monitor all those thigns through out the course of the night (from 10PM to 5-6AM), and solve any misc. problems on the fly that happened through out the course of the night aka lose sound, have to reset the stage, turn off all the audio equipment and turn it back on after flipping the breaker. Also any music/audio person knows the protocol for how to hook up, turn on, confirm signal, sound check, get the first DJs equipment running on our audio system, also think we have about 8-12 DJs that have to be switched over, over the course of the night.

Then there is all the lights lasers projectors and video feeds you have to keep up with, put the logo of the DJ thats playing on the projectors, setup stage props, manually control the lights and do light shows for the audience. Even setting up the lights is an art form in itself. It takes alot to make a good party happen, there are different hurdles every night.

You would be completely lost looking at the sound boards and power condensers, much less the mixer and CDJs, a regular person cant even setup the stage without that knowledge. Its alot more complicated than you think, remember I have made and recorded music in an professional environment, I have interned at a recording studio and now at a night club in ATL. Next step is actually getting paid to do it all and im ready for it, I havent spent the last 5 or 6 years slowly aquiring all this knowledge for nothing, my time will come, I have no doubt.
