So my grandmother is still alive.  I’m sitting next to her right now.  She hasn’t spoken since Monday & her eyes haven’t been open for more than a few seconds since late Wednesday night.  I’m giving her morphine once an …

Stompfest, death in the family, dreams

So Stompfest was a lot of fun.  A couple hundred people out in the middle of no where looking at my mini-comics & listening to Silberian music.  Some folks even bought some of the mini-comics.

So if you read the …

AGIFF, Mead, Breaking Bad, Dreams

So the past few days I’ve been down in Smithfield a bit for the Ava Gardner Independent Film Festival.  I feel like I got a lot more out of it this year than previous years as far as having an …

    1.) i agree with your assessment of movie flaws. Although i noticed this more with hollywoody movies and things from the 80′s where the music even if it’s not loud it’s non-stop. I like how a lot of recent films don’t clutter it up with music.

    2.) All this time you talk about Breakin Bad, i thought you were watching that breakdance movie.

    3.) Yesterday i was counting change out of a cup so i can take it to the coinstar & it made me think of tracking sales of Spotify etc. . . . and then that made me realize that the internet based musician is basically a busker going home with a handful of coins and a few bills.

  2. Yeah, the non-stop music or the loud music, hard to say which is worse. But when the drums are unintentionally louder than the nuclear explosion, that’s not too good. I know that when I tried screening my cartoons without sound they didn’t work properly because people don’t notice they start without a sound cue & I do dislike it when credits are ran on silent at the end of the movie because it seems to give them a false sense of importance. But the really loud music seems like such an easy & obvious fix. For a while I thought it was because of me watching movies on inferior devices, but I think it’s just from lazy people in the sound department ripping audio straight off an ultra-hot CD without adjusting it.

    You should check out Breaking Bad. It really only functions I think if you start from the beginning as it’s kind of about likable characters becoming total assholes.

      i don’t think it’s from the incompetence you speak of. I think it’s more to do with “IN YOUR FACE” production values that’s really popular since the 2000′s started.

Star, Rivulets, Ron Paul, mwvm, The Outer Limits, Dreams

Last night the video version of Star was on the big screen at the Ava Gardner Independent Film Festival.  People laughed at the right times & everything, so well received.  Here’s the video if you haven’t seen it before:…

    that man’s voice on the RPaul video was killing me. Also i think the red dawn remake is with the chineses.

XO, Deadpool, Stop Motion, Dreams

I got a third draft of XO #10 done.  I figure I should go ahead & write them when I can & hope Melissa can catch up with drawing after she wins the lottery.

    good job on the video. the look of it is cool. maybe make the guy move too in the next two minutes you have to fill. ps out of an hour of video i usually wind up with something around 5-8 minutes. so good luck on the rest of that.

  2. There’s another 30 seconds from last night of the paper doll moving around & fighting giant bugs. There’s five versions of the doll in different positions.

    Guess what, I had some trouble getting the lighting to be how I liked. & what I did to accentuate the feel of stop motion when there was essentially no motion was using some slowburn christmas tree lights as off camera accent lights to cause some lighting variation. Oh, & the background is a Silvertone guitar case.

Jon DeRosa, The Alcohol EPs, Google, Twitter, Snoop Dog

There’s a pretty good interview with Jon DeRosa on Vol. 1 Brooklyn.

I just put up the feature release for free streaming for this month.  The Alcohol EPs from Remora, Rivulets, & Pale Horse and Rider from 2002.  I’ll …

    are you really shocked that “wet teens” is the term that sends most people to this site?

  2. I’m surprised that Silber’s Wet Teens shows up high enough in search results for it to drive traffic. I actually cancelled the Google Adwords for them because it was getting a lot of traffic that didn’t generate sales (despite the keywords all being things about the music). Like 2000 clicks (at a penny per click) not generating one $5 purchase.

Promo, Christmas, Irata, Norm MacDonald, The Outer Limits

I got out the latest batch of promo follow-up emails over the weekend. There does seem to be a little bit less coverage of the newer releases despite things seeming to be done in the exact same way I’ve done …
