This past weekend Daniel Radcliffe hosted SNL. The fact that Harry Potter himself does a convincing American accent isn't why I'm bringing it up. It's because of a slam dunk sketch titled 'You Can Do Anything!', in which two hosts invite various unknown Internet 'stars' onto their show and allow them to showcase their talents. The jokes don't come from the actual guests themselves as much as

Came across this video yesterday. It seemed particularly relevant as my friend Luke and I have a joke about my Photoshop skills after I offered my help to him during the creation of his 4th year film school project Elliot.He often reminded me he imagined my Photoshop skills were much like that of Michael Scott's from The Office (example below).So, when I came across this video - it just brought

The new year perplexes me in a way that never ceases to amaze me. I was sitting down this evening to watch the last few episodes of 30 Rock's fourth season when I started to question why I was watching a show I loved so much when I could perhaps be creating something for others to enjoy.I'm no stranger to making films for others' enjoyment (or my own). I've done wedding videos, contest videos,

Last year in September I started my 3 Year Plan and due to a second job and the death of my close friend Dave Gassner, I lost sight of what I was ultimately doing with Angry Charlie Reviews and forgot why I was doing it in the first place. With the new year just beginning things have become more clear as to why I need to stay motivated and why it's important to keep on moving no matter how busy

It's been a little over a month since I started my 3 Year Plan. Since then a lot of things have come to fruition and some things haven't as of yet. With my friend Dave's passing, September came and went faster than I could have ever imagined. To top it all off, I didn't feel like a I got a chance to accomplish much or stay in the social loop a lot of the time.Between my two jobs I've been

In truth, the title of this post is a little misleading. Really, I never left my plan alone. But, there was a major distraction this month in the form of the loss of a good man, great father and my dear friend. While Dave may have moved on and will be greatly missed, he leaves behind a few good lessons to be learnt. If I didn't have the ambition to make something more of myself before, I

On Saturday, September 10th, 2011 my good friend Dave Gassner passed away. He was 27 years old. I'll be taking some more time next week to reflect upon mine and Dave's friendship in a very similar way to my friend Luke's post (which I highly recommend checking out), but for now I wanted to share the movies I had made with Dave. Without him I wouldn't have had half the inspiration I did in

At the beginning of August I caught wind of a contest being held by a local radio station. The contest was for a 30-second TV commercial. I immediately got to work and made the following. I attempted to go for something clever as well visually pleasing. I've seen a lot of the entries so far and have since pondered a lot as to whether I believe mine is worth the top and only prize of $5,000.

This time of month always reminds me of heading back to school. There's a crispness in the air (at least there was today) and you can't help but feel some residual excitement for new opportunities - be there any or not. The last month has been an eventful one for me, and I don't think I've ever been out spending so much time with friends (new and old). As the summer was winding down, I began

A couple of years ago I had mentioned I wanted to make a sequel to my 2006 personal film Thoughts in Motion. Life got in the way and I kept busy enough with a few other projects and sort of forgot about it. Last month I realized this Fall would mark five years since the first was made, so I gathered up a little ambition and went out and made a sequel (finally). I figured if the first film

Alright, next week marks the debut of Thoughts in Motion 2 so I figured I would make a quick poster for it to give everybody a small preview. Otherwise, come on back next Tuesday the 23rd to check out the internet premiere of Thoughts in Motion 2.

I've been working my ass off trying to get the sequel to Thoughts in Motion uploaded but have been having some technical difficulties. I have some hopes for its debut being next Tuesday, but for now I've been terribly busy and when it comes to getting a chance to just sit down and work the problem - it ain't happening. During the process for creating the sequel, however, I've been watching a lot

Happy August, everybody! Sorry I haven't been around much. I got involved in entering a commercial contest for a local radio station and have been devoting most of my time to that. When all is said and done you can look for the commercial posted on DMCA. I've also been diligently working on Thoughts in Motion 2 for this blog as well. Once all this is done I'll be getting to work on a wedding

For the last few months, every once in a while my friends Dave, Wendy and I will sit down to watch a movie from our childhood. So far we've watched the awful Super Mario Brothers and the not so awful Ghostbusters. The other night we decided to check out The Garbage Pail Kids Movie. I remember seeing it when I was about eight (I loved it), then again when I was fourteen (I hated it). This time

This weekend I headed to a wedding for some close friends of mine. Not only as a guest, but they (like the groom's brother) had hired me to film their wedding. The reason I really like doing these is because it gives me an excuse to play with some footage and try out new editing techniques. I've given thought to making this a business for myself and technically it's still just a thought. I'm

A few days ago I mentioned my intentions to sumbit a form to the Online Film Critics Society for my review site Angry Charlie Reviews. Tonight I have officially done that. After submitting the relatively short form with a few links to my movie reviews, I clicked 'sumbit' and got a message letting me know it would be a few weeks until I hear back.While I have my doubts I will make it this first

The other day I finally got around to finishing up my long overdue review for the film Cars 2 over at Angry Charlie Reviews. While going over the site as I usually do I came across something I hadn't expected to happen for a few weeks yet - the fact that as of the end of June I have officially reviewed 100 movies. Not only does this mean I can now apply to be part of the Online Film Critics

My friend Luke came to visit this weekend, and if there's one thing he's good at - it's making you feel guilty that you haven't updated your blog lately. If there's one thing I'm good at, it's talking about new starts and not updating my blog at all.But, posting others' videos only gets you so far as far as faithful readership goes.

This June it will be almost two years since I started my film review site Angry Charlie Reviews. Since then I've made very few changes to the way I do things. I've always had my two main symbols, an OPEN DOOR and a CLOSED DOOR - but which have corresponded to whether I liked a movie or hated it (respectively). This month marks the birth of another quick reference tool for my site, something

This past month has brought forward a lot of new challenges for me. For one, I've found a new place to live that will once again allow me to get all my crap outta storage. This means now that I can set up my Blog Station 1000 and get back to posting more regularly then I have been (especially with DMCA). I want to be clear when I state that the reason I haven't been updating is not because I was

After finding out that What If Films was no longer a viable property value, I was off on a mission to find a production name that I could stick with - grow upon. A lot of people won't know now but it came down to two options. The first is the one most of you will be most familiar with - Outside Thought Productions. The second one was PUP Films - PUP being an acronym for the film phrase 'Picture's

The other week I wrote a post about a girl named Rebecca Black and her viral video Friday. Besides being a relatively catchy (and awfully written and sung) piece of music, I always felt there was more to the song than let on. As somebody who likes to have hidden political meanings in all the films I make (ROBO hobo is actually a comment on 9/11), I just knew there had to be more to Friday than

As I was going into my second year of university, I decided that Ty455 Productions was no longer a viable production name as it wasn't easy to remember, therefore it was harder to brand myself with (I'm assuming some blondie-haired young fella named Luke brought that to my attention). Given my optimism then, I used a name that I believed would represent my zest for life experience and my belief

I started playing Angry Birds late last year when I got my Samsung Galaxy phone. Needless to say, like most, I was instantly addicted. I still play the game today (not as much) and was tickled pink when I discovered this fake trailer on YouTube. I present to you my video of the week - Angry Birds: The Movie.

When I began film school in 2002, I was faced with a realization that for whatever reason had never occurred to me - I needed a film production name. For one, I never realized a person could just create a film company by naming one and putting it before their films. Two, I didn't think I would need one so soon. But there I was, surrounded by folks who had branded themselves with a prouction

I hate myself for liking the song Friday by Rebecca Black - the music video and iTunes hit that's garnered more than 90 million views on YouTube. In fact, I shouldn't even go as far as saying I like it, because I only get the chorus stuck in my head every once in a while. The rest of the song and the lyrics remind me more of a parody than anything else. They are just awful. But when something

Well, my blog renovation is complete and although not much has changed from the old setup this is more or less a polish and a way of keeping me more motivated to update my blog regularly.

I saw this video today of Ashton Kutcher spoofing of 'punking' TMZ. I was so impressed by it, I instantly tried to think of ways to share it. Then I remembered, oh yeah, I have a blog... :-S If you've never watched TMZ, get a TV. If you watch it every day, then get a life. Either way, you'll know why TMZ is a show that can only exist today, and like the skin off a piece of KFC chicken - you also

I think hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco did a solid job hosting and bringing in some young blood to Oscar night.

My girlfriend introduced these videos to me today at work. Similar to the Double Rainbow vids I posted about in August, it started with an original video (in this case a news clip) that went viral only to become even more viral with a song edited around using the original clip. Needless to say, both are very entertaining - and people wonder where stereotypes come from. "This isn't because I'm

For those of you in warmer climate right now, I'm a tad jealous. The January 'dead of winter' period has hit and today in Regina, Saskatchewan we officially hit the lowest temperature yet, -36 C (with a wind chill of -48 C). It got me thinking a bit of what a cold day usually does to us.For most, if we have the option, it means we stay inside and get comfy. If you are lucky enough to have this

Since the new year began, I've been doing a lot of thinking about what I want out of this blog, and where I want to take it. Although I am still unsure, I am positive I want to do a sequel to my 2006 film Thoughts in Motion. A lot has changed in the past 5 years, so I thought there would be no better time than to update my first masturbation film. You can expect the sequel later on this year, but

Well, 2010 brought some great moments - a lot of life changes for myself as well as those around me and if 2011 is anything like this past year things are only going to get crazier.As a lot of you may have noticed, my blog has declined in recent months due to a lot of this craziness. While last year brought a lot of new material, this year was lacking a little more. It doesn't mean I wasn't

My girlfriend Darcie went down to Buenos Aires, Argentina in October for her shot at $50, 000 on Wipeout Canada. While I can't tell you how she did, I do want to mention a TIGHT & BRIGHT friend she made while down there. His name was Spandy Andy and some of you may have heard of him due to the shenanigans he gets into on the streets of Vancouver and his memorable auditions he's done for So You

Alright, well, I tried this year to treat ya'll to another episode of ROBO hobo, more specifically a Christmas special. Although I've written it and was more or less determined to make it, various December busy things got in the way and due to weather I was unable to shoot. While I am disapointed, it just means more time to get the series going again next year and make next year's Christmas

Being a fan of Christmas movies you can imagine my disappointment this year when none were released. I was prepared to make due by attending the Galaxy's Classic Film Series showing of It's a Wonderful Life this Sunday, but for whatever reason (and following the trend of the past four months) they have decided to not show it. So I went out and bought it on Blu-ray. The fact the studio felt it

December has come and you know what that means! 24-hour Wal-mart!!! It also means Christmas. Although I don't have many, every year I like to watch certain Christmas movies to get myself in the mood. This year, I started things off with Elf and The Nightmare Before Christmas. However, those kinds of movies are standards, and will be followed up this year with new purchases such as last year's A

Well, clearly more of my energy has gone into my other blog lately, Angry Charlie Reviews. That's obvious if one looks at the date of my last post. This December however I plan on breathing some new life into this blog as well, because although I don't always have a new video to share I always have something on my mind or a funny video I saw or a peice of art that inspires me.So to finish off

Once upon a time, back before 4th Year Film Project became an animation, it was written for live action. After realizing it was going to be too difficult to go out and shoot all the scenes required, I decided (a little naively, may I add) to change the whole thing to an animaton.Prior to doing that, though, I shot Scene 4: The Writing Process, with my friends Luke Fandrich, Rowan Henry and Dave

Well, after a month of gathering votes and making a case for my film, Crown City, the reults are in. I was able to gain a huge lead early on in the competition and as of the end of last month I had nearly 100 votes more than anybody else. This was however, only half of the battle. The other half of the competition was up to the judges, and regardless of the lead I had garnered early on, I did not

My work recently asked me to do a short video for a manager's conference that they were to have a couple weeks before Halloween. They provided with the voice clips of the people involved, a script and sent me off to do an animation in the style of South Park. I had done this type of animation before, with 4th Year Film Project and Crown City, so I was confident I could pull it off. A few

Yesterday marks the first day Regina got snow this winter. It started off small, and eventually turned into a blizzard - the latter of which delayed Darcie's flight to Argentina for Wipeout Canada. We're talking ice, accidents and getting stuck. It was a 24 hour nightmare of weather that thankfully ended by noon the next day- delaying her trip by only 24 hours or so.It reminded me of a storm I

It seems every October I post this video to commemorate it's making. The same night I made the found footage film Green Eggs and Ham, Luke also made his film, The Other Time Machine. After hours of slurpees, Weird Al and plain insanity, we emerged victorious with some pretty funny videos and a stronger friendship to boot. It's October folks, and here's the result of that night.

Last week I finished a small, two minute animation I was working on called Crown City. I made it for a film competition that was put on by Save our Saskatchewan (SOS) Crowns. I decided to go with an animation as I figured I could give the film a better style and in turn it would be better quality. I wasn't wrong, but I should have taken a lesson from 4th Year Film Project and given myself a

Only one day after the names of contestants of Wipeout Canada were released to the media, my girlfriend Darcie Trombley recieved a call from Global News wanting an interview. She (and I) were elated. Yesterday morning they came out and not only interviewed the star, but they took some time to talk to me as well about how my dreams crumbled when I found out I didn't make the cut.

My video, Wipeout Intervention, has garnered 2, 575 views and I couldn't be prouder of it. I can't remember if I've stated or not but I did not make the cut.

Now, this shouldn't be a surprise to myself or others as I usually average a post a week for this blog. But it turns out I was just too busy.

Not being sure what to post to start off the week I decided to go with one of my favorite music videos of all time - Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim. Most of you are probably familiar with this video by now - if not, see why a l0t of critics wanted to see Christopher Walken do a little more dancing in Hairspray (2007).On a related note and in the same traditional sense, I also enjoyed the

For Canada Day, I thought I would post some of my favorite Wipeout Canada audition tapes that I came across while constantly checking mine to see how it was doing. The first one I posted is titled A Wipeout Fairy Tale. It belongs to my girlfriend, Darcie Trombley - and yes, I had a hand in making it. In some ways I like it a little better than mine as it's shorter and therefore more

Well, I just couldn't resist. I've been a huge fan of what is my favorite summer show (sorry, Jersey Shore) since it debuted in 2008 - well, at least the American version. The UK version titled Total Wipeout is funny enough, but the host can't hold a candle to John Anderson and John Henson, who host the American show.So one day about 2 weeks ago I'm channel surfing and see Wipeout on TVtropolis.

Summer time is in full swing here in Regina, and with my good friend and filmmaker Luke Fandrich of Editing Luke visiting this weekend I still have a slight feeling of déjà vu wash over me thinking about the very productive summer we had back in 2007. That was when we didn’t just pump out one, but three little films in a series called Buick to the Future. The third anniversary of the first film

I started a 2nd blog last year on July 29th called Angry Charlie Reviews. So far I am happy to say the blog is doing well, and it's picking up speed as every day goes by. For those of you who don't know, its a blog where I review every new movie I've seen and do either a written or video review on what I think of it. Basically, I'm trying my damndest to be a professional film critic. For now

In relation to the post I did on Monday, May 31st titled Deuce I have made a tribute of sorts to my brother who has starred in many of my earlier movies titled My Name is Deuce. It contains my favorite clips from all the films he has done for me as well as some home footage I shot of him during a few family Christmases. I am glad for anybody that ever agreed to be in my films, and in this case I

Lately (as some of you can tell) I've had a bit of a tougher time keeping up with my blog. This post now finally makes me more up to date and I hope to get back in the full swing of things now. With summer well under way the time to go out and make new movies is now, as working outdoors is MUCH more comfortable. I hope to make a few new films this summer including a sequel to one of my own

This past weekend I went to Saskatoon for my brother's bachelor party as he's getting married mid July. It was a nice chance to see some of his friends I hadn't in while who I grew to know when my brother (Deuce) and I were roommates when I started University. I also had some close conversations with my brother about his daughter Samara who was just born late last year, and how much his life

In honor of my favorite TV show ever ending on Sunday night, I decided to post a link my friend Luke sent me about all the unanswered questions the writers missed when finishing the series. Thanks, Luke! The clip is from College Humour. Not all of these I care too much about about, but some are true, and some are funny.

There was a time when I joined a newer website called Youtube (which had only been online for a couple of years at that point) when if you searched my last name (Cyrenne) it would bring up a few of my videos, and this bizarre little treat that my friend Luke Fandrich of Editing Luke has told me is "(your) best work ever".Although I have hated this video for most of the past 3 years, a walk down

To say I am glad I made this series is an understatement. It's kept me exercised in my craft and given me a reason to keep my blog updated and brand myself a bit. Web series' are all the rage now anyways, so the more I put out there (ROBO hobo or otherwise) the more confident I feel about succeeding in spreading the word about who I am and what I like to do and can accomplish.

Well, 8 months and 5 episodes later I am pleased to say I take ROBO hobo: VOLUME ONE to be a success. I am very proud of my work on them was just waiting for the moment when I could put them all into one post. So that's what I am doing now. :-) Thank you all for being a regular reader of this blog, I know you're time is valuable. Please enjoy all five episodes of ROBO hobo: VOLUME ONE.

Why is life no fun? Because it keeps me from updating my blog more often. Yes, I've been busy. No, I'm not dead. After my latest episode of ROBO hobo, I took a bit of a break. I've slowly been getting my other blog, Angry Charlie Reviews more up to date because it had been even longer since I update that. I have a couple of movies to catch up on with that and here, well, April was a bust -

Well, it took a month or two of planning and writing (very similar to the prep for Episode 4), but Robo Hobo returns in his 5th episode - if only for this one episode for now. When starting ROBO hobo: The Series, I wanted to pump out 12 episodes for the first season. Obviously I achieved less that half that. Mainly because I found once i was done one I would have to prep for the next and so forth

It unfortunately will not make it in for Origins month, but will be here on April 9th.

Tonight my friends John Johnstone and Rowan Henry put on a cast and crew movie screening for their first feature length film - Dungeon Crawl. You can read my take on the film by visiting my movie review site at Angry Charlie Reviews. Being there got me thinking a lot about what I had accomplished not only with making my own or friends movies throughout the past 8 years but how close I had come to

When I had written Gilligan, I had never expected the first cut to be 10 minutes long. But alas, it was. That wasn't the problem though. The problem was that for the contest I was entering it into, it had to be 5 minutes long. So, for the first time here on DMCA, I am presenting Gilligan: Uncut. There are obviously some scenes that are included in the uncut version that aren't in the original (

Back in high school I wrote the first 60 pages of a movie script called Deja Vu. I always hoped to finish it but never got the chance. A couple of years later in my Film 202 class, one of the first assignments was to create a trailer for a film we were trying to sell. I partnered up with Rowan Henry and Jennifer Eisler (both of whom I still see every once in a while) and we threw a few film ideas

I realize upon writing the title for this post that it’s a double entendre. What it may sound like I’m saying is an externalization of the ultimate internal question of “Was trying to get a seemingly useless degree a good idea?”. The answer is of course yes, as I truly believe there is no such thing as a bad experience (to which an acronym of such a phrase forms TINSTABE [pronounced tins-tob-ay]

It’s not secret to anybody that knows me that I am an extremely nostalgic and sentimental person. I like to hold on to things that most people probably throw out the day they get it or lose under the couch and eventually throw out months later.So it’s no surprise that I have my first film class project from Film 200 with one of the best profs.

For my first video post for ‘Origins Month’ I thought it would be poignant to start off with the very first movie I ever made. It wasn’t responsible for my going to film school, but it gave me at least a little experience before I would head off to university the very next year. The movie I made was a trailer for a movie adaptation of the novel More Joy In Heaven written by Canadian author Morley

Considering I haven't updated in a bit due to the fact I have been working on my own animation project hope to have done in the next few days, I thought I would share with you a video I found on YouTube (of all places!) that is the most viewed stop-motion film on the site. I thought it was pretty clever.

These were all projects I did separately in animation class leading up to the production of my final animation What If..... The first, The Shape of a Knight, was about taking separate shapes in order to experiment with movement and drawing them in a way they would initially form a knight who would fight an opposite version of himself.

During this month I couldn't ignore my most ambitious animated film to date, and of course I'm talking about 4th Year Film Project. To get the full story on this crazy little project, click here. Otherwise I invite you to enjoy the film which is below. It is 25 minutes long though, so I recommend if you are going to check it out you do so when you have the time. But i promise you, it is worth it.

I won't say much about this less-then-a-minute short I did as part of way of introducing myself at the screening for my fourth year film project. I've spoken about it a few times, but there's no way I couldn't include it in animation month. And as a reference for my obvious inspiration, I've included Don Herdzfelt's Rejected. Enjoy.

For any of you who read my friend Luke's blog Editing Luke on a regular basis, you'll know that part of his history involved aspirations to do stop motion animation, being inspired by none other than Wallace and Gromit. While in Film 203 (the animation class I took in university), Luke and I even worked with eachother to help shoot our own little stop motion shorts. Mine was about a Spider-man

To finish off Experimental Month, I am pleased to present the last chapter for my Green Eggs series, titled Green Eggs and Procrastination. It is titled as such because I started this film no less than 12 hours before it was due, and finished it only a few minutes before the class it was supposed to be presented it.

This was the final project for my second year experimental film class. It was the one we were to put the most work into, with a rough cut also due a few weeks before.
