We here at caliblog are always striving to keep our small but growing audience base interested and coming back for more. Your comments help guide us in the right direction - so don't be shy to suggest new ideas you would like to see, or just to let us know we're on the right track [Hold on my water is boiling].

Okay [many hours later *] back to the subject at hand: the newest idea / addition to caliblog; [drum roll] a weekly movie. How does this weekly movie work? Well, I'll tell you - since the short films we'll be uploading on our server will be anywhere from 5 to 15 MBs in size - they will only be available for a short period of time [hence; the week]. Now, to be honest; when I started this entry last night - I was only intending on linking a movie for a week, but I am getting a handful of ideas sitting here staring at the screen.

First idea: the "weekly movie" will be given the top slot on our links (to the left), it will tell the length and size of the file, (second idea:) it will have trivia for the film as well as credits and when it was shot. Hmm... (third idea:) maybe if our server has the space (...and Andrew, if you're reading this - that was not a plee for more free space... we can actually buy more this time) we'll link extra features, like a DVD would have, commentary, perhaps a behind-the-scenes slideshow. Okay, I think I might be getting carried away.



Draw back the red curtains, our first short film is actually one of the first short films Chuck and I shot. It was filmed on location in Tecumseh, MI. Hmm... (fourth idea: movie synopsis), this film I think, might require more of an introduction than most. This short titled; 'Return to the Great Tower', is a sequel to a film shot by a good friend of ours, Kevin, his film (titled, 'The Great Tower') is about... we'll actually, it's on the artsy / expressionist side and I'm never quiet sure what it is about. But to be as simple about it as I can be, there's a guy and he is called to a great tower (a water tower) and there he receives a gift. So, our addition to his project was for the most part just a tip-of-the-hat to Kevin for being who he is. Anyways; The Return to the Great Tower is an unfinished project, but the clip which you are about to watch; is the finished opening sequence / credits for the short.

So, with out further ado; Rolling Chair Productions in association with caliblog, presents: 'The Return to the Great Tower' (note: due to it's size - we would suggest right-clicking on the link and saving it to your hard-drive). Enjoy.


* We [Amanda, Billy and myself] ate some mac and cheese with hotdogs... well, Amanda had tofu, but anyways, then we drove out to spy on Chuck- see how he was doing on his first day on the job. We laminated our social security cards (even though on the back it recommends you do not).
