Recently, I had the pleasure working with two local film makers, Eric Ortiz and Mike Baltz, to produce their ambitious sci-fi comedy A TRIP. We filmed at various locations around the Twin Cities, including at the famous Cedar Ave greasy spoon, The Weinery, and the iconic Minneapolis Thai restaurant Sawatdee. Since the duo also moonlight at ShopNBC, we had access to a wide variety of audio and video equipment, and extra help. From audio engineers, to lighting and camera grips, we had it all. It's a producer's dream to work with such creative people and they both possess the talent and determination to create some impressive work.
Here is a quick synopsis from one half of the creative duo, Eric Ortiz:
"A TRIP is a show about to two slackers who try to take off on a trip but never get anywhere. The two slackers are constantly distracted by bizarre situations that stand in the way of their progress. Seemingly strange forces prevent them from acting on their free will. Do said forces have a different plan for FELIX and GAZ? These guys have a bizarre imagination and live in a world of their own. Who's to say what is real anymore. Think Beavis and Butthead meets the X-files. Tune in and find out. HA! It's a work in progress. The first 3 episodes are nearly done, save for final audio and a few fx/color correction. We have been trying to use all original music to give it a grunge rock feel. Enjoy!"
