Today is an exciting day for fans of Chuck Palahniuk films—Yes, films. Up until now, Fight Club and Choke were the only two adaptations you could find of Chuck’s work. But Portland-based, writer/director Andy Mingo went and changed all that with his 26-minute, short film adaption of ‘Romance.’

We’ve been having quite a week here at SXSW! It is absolutely insane how DENSE this event is. Everyone taking part in SX is just going about their own business and probably only hitting up about 15% of the events available to badge holders, ourselves included.
On Monday, we split up our 5 man team to cover more ground and go about our networking, promoting, and general experiencing (and capturing) of SXSW. here is a link to our vlog activity: http://d1u7aelnb7b19r.cloudfront.net/21375560-1417-47e0-a91d-1047800db558.mp4 Continue reading... “Jumpercut Goes To SxSW: Monday”

Sunday was an interesting beast of a day all its own. We were all so caught up in meetings and panels all day! Good problems to have. One of the heads of Vimeo gave a talk with the creator of Star Wars: Uncut and both stopped by for demonstrations of our software with great curiosity. 🙂 I was personally editing video as it arrived in our dropbox from a graphic designer from one of our clients for most of the day, but still managed to run into Marc Maron near the PBS party and saw Paul Walker at the Fandango Lounge.

Moviemaking has always been a collaborative process, and the need for creative production of light and sound aren’t going anywhere, but the capabilities of iPhone cameras are improving phenomenally with each new version. As now we know, some filmmakers have dabbled with creating movies just with their phones and tablets, and mobile film festivals are popping up everywhere. However, the true advantage these devices offer to storytelling is their instant connect-ability. We’ve seen Twitter and CNN iReport influence world politics and this social sharing is amazing, but where’s the collaboration? Continue reading... “JumperCut Heads to SXSW!”

We were truly blown away by the amount of people that showed up on Tuesday and honestly not prepared for the possibility of filling the theater. I hear we had to turn away nearly a hundred people in Portland. Luckily the team that provided the video services for the night at PSU (thank you Brian) recorded the event. We did not have permission to provide all the clips that were shown Tuesday night but if you want to hear what everyone had to say watch it here on Vimeo.
