This post will be short, because I don't have much to say.
I mean, what can I say? It was an incredibly simple video. Editing literally took me 3 days total. Hardly any new special effects. Our goal of this video was to make a funny sequel to Coke and Expo Markers. And we accomplished that.
Neither one of the two videos are technically astounding, but they sure are funny. That's the point of these two videos. UNDERFIRE is meant to show off intense special effects and action sequences. Critical Thought was a pointless, stupid, meaningless, hilarious, random video. And I'm proud to have been a part of it.
It was a major improvement from Coke and Expo Markers. The cinematography was definitely an improvement. Acting was a major improvement; this time it wasn't nearly as obvious when someone looked at the camera. Chayan was awesome, coupled with Roger. The angles were pretty basic; only one Dutch angle in the whole video if I recall.
It was funny, and it was fun. Till the next stupid video :D

TRAILER -- Critical Thought
Told you this wouldn't have many updates:
Critical Thought Trailer
Critical Thought, the next video from Theorem 42! From the looks of the trailer, it seems pretty unpredictable eh?
It'll be up in a few days. Making some light touches :)
Go Theorem 42!

Video, Coming Soon!
What do condoms, corpses, Mah-Jong, and Blue's Clues all have in common?
They're all a part of Theorem 42's new upcoming film!
Starring the newest member, Chayan, Roger, Ryan, Jerry, and me, it is a crazy video that could very well be the sequel to Coke and Expo Markers. They find themselves with amnesia in the morning and can't remember what happened to them the night before. This is definitely a crazy ride.
Here are some photos:
More updates to come, but don't expect many, because this video is gonna come out soon!

Re-inspired
I went to visit my cousins again over the summer. Because our previous videos were so good, naturally we wanted to film again. We filmed a total of 4 videos that summer, all of which we were extremely proud of. The quality of each one was a new step for us, with good acting, interesting stories, and good angles. My interest with video production was once again resurrected.
I returned home and was once again eager to film with my friends. I wanted to test out some stuff that I had learned from my summer videos. Because we couldn't think of a decent video idea, we decided to do a remake of a previous video.
A Game of Poker was the first video filmed with my friends that I thought was decent. You can see it on Youtube now. It was a major improvement over our last version of the video because it actually had some sort of story-ish thing, not simply a couple of guys playing poker.
During the next few months, we discussed putting our videos up on Youtube. We decided to wait on that decision a bit longer. At this point, HnB Productions was long gone.
In December of that year, we created UNDERFIRE. It was spawned from our love for first-person shooters. This video created Theorem 42. The quality of the final video astounded us. We were so proud of it. The quality to us was a huge improvement from previous videos. At this point, we were certain that we wanted to continue video making. But we needed a name.
On the way home from school one day, I was pondering to myself about math and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I decided to put the two thoughts together: "I wonder what Theorem 42 in geometry was..." And thus, the name was created. I know, it's nerdy, but it's how it happened.
A few months later, Popcorn was created. Then, I made this blog in honor of our group. From then on, our video production history was written in this blog.
We have been through some other complications with filming, but it hasn't changed our desire for video making. I'm glad that we have kept this alive, because I have never had a better experience doing anything else. Video making is my passion, and I'm glad to share it with my friends and family. We will continue video production.
By the way, a new video will be popping up soon...

Step Forward?
Once I got back from my summer vacation I immediately planned a filming with my friends. Khodadod, Henry, and I filmed a video called Fighting. Henry and I accidentally hit the sleeping Khodadod with socks, and a fight ensued.
It was pretty decent compared to some of the other stuff we had made together. So, naturally, I wanted to film again. I started making a few videos with my little brother. They were pretty good, but eventually he lost interest, and we stopped filming together. A few months later, my friends and I filmed a video called A Poker Game. This isn't the same one as on our Youtube page. This was our first version, and eventually we recreated it into A Game of Poker. This was the first video of ours that had a script.
This video, instead of starring Henry, starred Khodadod. Henry operated the camera. It seems very similar compared to our newer version. It was fun to make, but, to me, it lacked the quality of a good video. There was nothing terribly interesting about the story line, just a couple of guys playing poker. It was almost always shot from the same angle. Jerry kept smiling, and I acted horribly. I was again left displeased.
I decided to try some new actors, or, actor. It was the first time filming with Ryan. We made a video entitled Covert Operation 1. It was about Jerry and me trying to steal something from Ryan's house. It was an okay video, better than some previous videos, but not quite what I wanted yet. Also, this was the last video I wrote a script for. I hated that stuff.
I began to wonder whether or not video making was worth all the effort. None of our videos were void of mistakes. None of them really had amazing acting, or great angles, or great story lines. I wasn't sure if I could count on my friends to be filming buddies. I took a break from video making. But that summer, things changed for me.
