The Holy Ghost People

Picture
              Written by Caleb Young
My twin brother, Joshua Young, is a pretty prolific writer: poems, plays, scripts, books, essay (and quite good at these things). But poetry and small press don't pay well, and yet he wants to market his work and get it out there. So we made a deal: He would write for me (scripts, revisions, etc), and I would shoot his book trailers with my team. And I think he gets the better deal because our team is Chris Koser (DoP), Avielle Heath (Prod Design), Alex Stowe (Producer, AD), Cameron Currier (Camera), among the rest of our Hand Crank Crew.
There are a few rules. He has to give us the creative, the shoot can't be longer than two hours, and the edit can't take longer than four (we can also use found footage, if it fits the project). 

His most recent book is a Play in Verse called THE HOLY GHOST PEOPLE. There is a lot going on in the book, so we had to come up with creative that we could tell the story, and that we could produced inside boundaries we have set. My brother wanted to do it in one shot and that was the plan, but on the day things changed - like they always do. 

They obstacles were: 
It stopped raining and there wasn't budget for a rain machine. 
It was hard to hide the curtain that would be the final shot of our reveal. 
And our time limit. 

In the end, the shoot was three hours long. But we got some great looking stuff, thanks to Avielle - who constructed a working theatre curtain that could close in the middle of the woods - Chris Koser, who makes everything look great. And our talent, Kirk A Hayes, Ross Robinette, and Mike Olsen, who braved the weather and mud just for the fun of the shoot. 

Here's what we created for no budget, 3 hour shoot and 4 hours of editing.

Tin Can Odyssey

2/17/2014

Tin Can Odyssey began to take shape after I heard an NPR segment where space psychologists worried that astronauts might become listless or depressed, on a mission flown from Earth to Mars that took months.    They spoke of the claustrophobia of being in a small vessel with nothing to do and with hazards everywhere.  This could be fun I thought, and I became obsessed with the idea. So first I built the interior of a space ship…and it looked good, which spurred me on .  Next I hooked in some of Bellingham’s finest actors to my utter astonishment .   And then I wrote a zany script for a web series, which was different than other space shows.  The actors didn't run away.    I could hardly believe it was happening!  While we’re not finished shooting at the time of this writing, we've had an absolute blast and cannot wait to show you all what we've created.  For now, look for Tin Can Odyssey’s Facebook page for info and updates.
