SOLMI

Hello, loyal SOLMI fans. I have some exciting news for you. Here is the exclusive premiere of the first video I have created myself using Final Cut Express. Enjoy!

Hey Jason… from Brian Simpson on Vimeo.

Young Gordon Leville has just taken a job as a watchman working the graveyard shift. An otherwise boring job turns into anything but as Gordon is quickly thrust into every adventure movie you’ve ever seen.

We shot this episode in one night from around 10pm to 5am in an office building we weren’t supposed to be in. This, of course, makes for the best shooting environment possible (not really). You should expect nothing less than the height of professionalism when working with the SOLMI crew.

Anyway, we were really excited to have Dave back working with us again. He did such an awesome job in Superhero we couldn’t help but bring him back. Brian and Dave have a presence together that transcends their brotherly bond. It’s magic. Pure and simple.

Writing credit goes to Brian, once again. That kid’s going places, let me tell you. Jason (that’s me) shot and edited. The fireball was Brian’s brainchild and carries with it that same professionalism I mentioned above. Again, only the best for SOLMI.

The title for this piece came from the deathwatch that a friend of ours placed on SOLMI. According to our pal Justin, SOLMI has been on deathwatch since January and if we hadn’t posted a new show by April 1st, we would be officially dead to him. So what did we do? We looked that challenge straight in the eye and said, “Listen, I’m going to cut you. And cut you deep.” That’s just how we roll.

If you guys love organic food and Star Wars as much as we do, then you’re really going to love this. John Rife, a local Orlando real estate and video guy, just posted this today and I couldn’t believe how amazing it was. I’m not really sure who’s responsible for this masterpiece, but it’s fantastic.

John mentions in his post that he hopes that we’ll start to see more of these kinds of videos as the cost of making films continues to drop. We here at SOLMI hope that we can help out in that department. I’d also like to take this opportunity to mention that we currently have a video in Apple’s Insomnia Film Festival, and that you can vote for it by following that link. And now you’ll know that by voting for us you’ll also be promoting the future of film-making; us. Does it get any better than that?
