Holga 135 35mm Lomography Camera

The world of analog and film cameras has all but disappeared over the years. Since the introduction of the digital camera, they just seem...well, obselete. Lomography however, is a society that continues to make these cameras and sell to todays consumers. Their main pull is being different, fun, tricky to use at times, and interesting. While these cameras are often times very expensive to be nothing more than hyped up plastic cameras, the entire experience comes along with owning one of these. Most Lomography cameras take 120 film which is expensive to develope and hard to find in stores, while the Holga 135 takes 35mm film. You get a traditional Lomo camera, great photos, and the convience of using 35mm film.

Review: "The Art of Getting By"

I've definitely been more into movies now, and I've really been getting a larger collection of DVDs. This particular movie I happened to just finish about a half hour ago. My first statement, I loved it! It is definitely going up there with some of my top favorites. I love Emma Roberts and she did a fantastic job in this movie. I don't remember seeing any movies with Freddie Highmore so this was by far a good first impression for me. He did an excellent job with his character, I'd like to see more of his work. I liked the whole setting of the story, how it's located in the city and also how the main characters are 18. (Easy to relate to since I am also 18) I love a good love story and I have to say that this was very cute. Also I like how art was intergrated into the movie but very suddle. Overall I think that it is a great movie to sit down and watch and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Light-Sabers & Lasers

I am a film-maker. Through and through this is what I do, and being one of those has allowed me to play with some cool toys and tech over the years. About 3 or 4 years ago I was absolutely obsessed with the prospect of achieving what I felt to be 'ILM' standard visual FX in my bedroom. I wanted explosions, robots, guns and light sabers and like a blessing from the sky, a software company made itself apparent to me on google to alleviate my craving for my own VFX house.

Ladies and gents, I present fxhome.com Nowadays, most of us own a video camera, even in HD quality with the introduction of the flip mino and it's counterparts. Everyone has the potential to be a film-maker, there is no limit. Granted, it takes a talent to separate the lads from the boys, the good ones from the bad, but that is not to say that we shouldn't all have a bit of fun with the amazing technology out there that allows us to use our 'ma and pa' type cameras for visual masterpieces.

If I have learnt one thing over the years of lurking in geek communities, I know that most have a particular liking toward the stereotypical genre fxhome software allows you to produce. You can create lightsaber battles, to laser beam fights, it is all possible.

Want to create something like this? Do it then!

Their software is dirt cheap and I thought I may as well share my love for FXhome with the community. I hope I don't sound too much like an add, I am trying to find the fine line between sharing passion for a cool link and sounding like I am spamming.

Anyway, all true geeks should love the play with software, so what you waiting for? Grab your friends, a camera and download the FREE unlimited use trial of any FXhome software and make the next Star Wars.

George Lucas, eat your heart out!

Movie Review: Young Frankenstein

I haven't seen any good new movies lately so I figured I would review an old movie. 

Young Frankenstein, in my opinion, is one of the best comedies of all time. It's in black and white so some younger people may not enjoy it. 

This movie is a parody of the Frankenstein film. After Dr. Frankenstein passes away, his reluctant grandson takes over the mansion only to discover his grandfather's findings and take over the "business." The movie has many hysterical performances, most notably Peter Boyle's and Marty Feldman's. The droll, yet gut-busting humor is an item to remember. 

I reccomend this movie to people ages 14 and older as the younger ones may not enjoy the dark theme. But to all those old enough to understand this humor, a must see!

Rating: 8.5/10

Hey!

I'm new to David's social blog, I just want to briefly talk about what I'll be doing here. 

First of all, I want to thank David and thecreativeone.tv sponsors for this being possible and giving me this fantastic opportunity. 

Now, a little about myself, I am 16 years old and live in New Jersey. My number one hobbie is watching, studying, reviewing, and enjoying movies. I hope to be a film director/screenwriter when I grow up. What i will be doing here on thecreativeone.tv is reviewing and discussing movies, past or present. I'll review movies that recently came out or movies that came out twenty, thirty, fourty years ago! 

Once again, i'd like to thank David and the sponsors. Thanks so much!
