http://filmmaker-cortez.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Of Mitchell Street Pictures - Writer, Director and Editor. Thursday, October 14, 2010. HomeMade Gear: Light Stand/Accessory Cart. Being organized on a set can help things run smoothly. If equipment is scattered everywhere, especially light stands, you can run into trouble: things can slow down, setups become searches for gear, people can get hurt, location's can get messed up, etc. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. The Hush - Soundtrack. The Hush Soundtrack is now for sale on iTunes, Amazon and CDBaby.com!

Filmmaker Cortez: November 2010

http://filmmaker-cortez.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Of Mitchell Street Pictures - Writer, Director and Editor. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Vincent Cortez - Reel 2 - Steadicam and Music. Here is a reel that features Steadicam/Camera Operation as well as some of my work as a soundtrack/music composer. It's funny to make one reel that encompasses both of those skill-sets/jobs but I thought that the visuals and music went well together. Enjoy and contact me if you have any questions.

Filmmaker Cortez: The Hush - DIY Distribution Fundraiser

http://filmmaker-cortez.blogspot.com/2011/07/hush-diy-distribution-fundraiser.html

Of Mitchell Street Pictures - Writer, Director and Editor. Monday, July 18, 2011. The Hush - DIY Distribution Fundraiser. The Hush is a film. However, to me, it is more than "just a movie." It is an experience. It is a journey. It is three years of my life in 90 minutes. It is close to being another child in many ways. It is hope and lessons learned in life, shown in the context of fictional characters in fictional settings. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Hush - 2009. The Hush - More Info. El Ch...

Filmmaker Cortez: June 2010

http://filmmaker-cortez.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Of Mitchell Street Pictures - Writer, Director and Editor. Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Roamer - progress update 1. I've been getting to work on the sci fi short Roamer. A reality. I will be grabbing some still frames for you to check out soon. For now, check out some pre-viz work I recently re-encountered. We used these before production began and I figured I'd share them:. This is 072 (Zachary Gossett). A soldier living in his element, hunting and tracking; yearning for the day when he can return home. The H...

Filmmaker Cortez: February 2010

http://filmmaker-cortez.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Of Mitchell Street Pictures - Writer, Director and Editor. Thursday, February 18, 2010. Sci Fi Short: Roamer. Zachary Gossett and Chuck Phelps star in Roamer. A futuristic tale about survival and humanity. Some time has passed since I took the full helm of a film project (the Hush was shot in the summer of '08) and while I was a co-Director on one film, a producer/DP on another and a writer/producer/2nd Unit Director on one more film, it feels good to be back in the driver's seat. The Hush - 2009. Brant ...

Filmmaker Cortez: Some Insights

http://filmmaker-cortez.blogspot.com/2011/08/some-insights.html

Of Mitchell Street Pictures - Writer, Director and Editor. Friday, August 19, 2011. Phil Velasquez (awesome makeup FX artist) applies some blood to my hand on the set of "Roamer." I was standing in for Chuck Phelps as "Oz" during some sequences. That's right: I do stunt work too, and I love doing it. About midway through our "The Hush" fundraising campaign I came across this article: HERE. This reinforces my belief in what I've been trying to do as a filmmaker - cater to the story, as it presents itself&...

Filmmaker Cortez: May 2010

http://filmmaker-cortez.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Of Mitchell Street Pictures - Writer, Director and Editor. Tuesday, May 11, 2010. Foley Work - Gary Hecker. I've been slowly putting together loads of things for The Hush special features. A big part of the post process for us, was the foley and sound designing stages. They were fun and challenging; and there was always a need for time and patience. Layers must be built one at a time and then combined or filtered to get the right final sound. Saturday, May 8, 2010. HomeMade Gear: The Cortez SoftKick.
