@Alex_Fedderly Also don’t tell anyone I still check my Twitter notifications, this is strictly because you brought a smile to my face 🤫

[Rafael Hernán Gamboa @Rolling_Shutter]

@Alex_Fedderly I watched Minus One and loved it. I also opened up my old Long Take projects because of this tweet and discovered my unfinished Return of Godzilla/Shin Godzilla essay, and…I’m not promising anything, bc there’s a reason I quit, but I am working on it. Thx for remembering me :)

@rebekahkennedy @AshLazerWrites Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[Rafael Hernán Gamboa @Rolling_Shutter]

I wanted to let whoever is still paying attention to me on Twitter that my short film has been generously featured as the first in a month-long celebration of horror in short form. Thank you to @AshLazerWrites for honoring my work! Please check it out at https://t.co/NepccZHTjS

THE AFFLICTION OF LUCY WESTON — (6min) Wr./Dir. @Rolling_Shutter

A brilliant & modern update of Dracula, executed flawlessly in a scene between a desperate Lucy & her therapist, as she seeks answers about a new and mysterious force in her life. [Oct. 1st] 🧵/3

@AshLazerWrites @RachelWalens Of course, DM away!

[Rafael Hernán Gamboa @Rolling_Shutter]

@AshLazerWrites @RachelWalens Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ve been working on writing more in that world and it’s encouraging to hear people respond so strongly to it 😊

@AFractalDragon @memilies And then people’s mileage with that depends on their level of ignorance about how things work and how cool they think the thing is. Pyoo pyoo is dumb but I think it’s cool. Quicksand is dumb and I think it’s dumb, so. Whatevs

[Rafael Hernán Gamboa @Rolling_Shutter]

@AFractalDragon @memilies I think it’s simpler than all that. They’re just tropes, created and perpetuated by people who thought it was cool and have never done the thing. Quicksand, palm cutting, silenced guns going pyoo pyoo. Lots of people think that’s how those things actually work

[Rafael Hernán Gamboa @Rolling_Shutter]

@AFractalDragon @memilies I don’t think she’s saying that it’s symbolic, just that it’s cinematically satisfying. And that those who don’t find it satisfying shouldn’t say anything, probably because it would mean that hypothesis would need to be re-examined

[Rafael Hernán Gamboa @Rolling_Shutter]

@jnathanjones @bearmccreary Yo for real. Also it does the political scheming, boobs, and swords thing sooooo much better than GoT.

[Rafael Hernán Gamboa @Rolling_Shutter]

@thelettersaandk That’s the thing with this damn site, isn’t it? I have a lot to say but it never feels like a tweet

[Rafael Hernán Gamboa @Rolling_Shutter]

@ArcSaren But lately I’ve been so swamped with video editing that when I’m done working the last thing I want to do is edit more, so yeah. Lots of headspace factors affecting me. But I promise you I’ll revive the channel. You have it here in writing 🙂

[Rafael Hernán Gamboa @Rolling_Shutter]

@ArcSaren The combination of ads, copyright limitations, algorithms, and idiot comments is just bleh. It is very hard to get motivated to do it again. That being said, I want to. And it’s very encouraging to be reminded that there are people who genuinely enjoyed my work. /2

[Rafael Hernán Gamboa @Rolling_Shutter]

@AFractalDragon @MothLands Audio isn’t my forte, but I know some basic stuff. Using compressors, channel EQs, and limiters. What program do you use?

[Rafael Hernán Gamboa @Rolling_Shutter]

@AFractalDragon @MothLands As of right this moment, it’s a whole lot of not shooting things. But on the flip side I made a ton of money as an editor this year and my feature script is about to get sent out to be rejected by everyone in Hollywood, so things are looking up

[Rafael Hernán Gamboa @Rolling_Shutter]

@AlatarielLuinwe Clone Wars makes the prequels worth it!! Also jsyk that show was made in a really funky order for a few seasons, so if you want to do a chronological order you need to look up a list

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I try not to curse in public, but... 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Rafael Hernán Gamboa @Rolling_Shutter]

My film Violet is now publicly available on Vimeo. Feels like a lifetime ago, but still very proud of the work we did. Please check it out! https://t.co/KQQm14Yr4N
