-I had some new head shots taken back in January 12, 2012 in Utica, NY by Matthew A. Peters for PETERS MEDIA. It took this long to correct and edit it all the bad stuff off my face & body (HA!) 🙂 Check them out on the WWJ FACEBOOK PAGE and, if you haven’t already, please “like” it-thanks!
Here is 17 year old Andy DeAngelo’s first film, “The Brothers” (WENDELLVISION FILMWORKS), in its entirety. I have a small role in this-playing the part of “Jessica’s boyfriend.” The scene is within the 1st 10 minutes. The movie is about 49 minutes long. Enjoy! THE BROTHERS ON YOU TUBE
-Pics / recap are now up from last weekend’s filming on NoSS (“Night of Something Strange”)-a zombie movie I’m filming down in VA. I play the part of the lead zombie “Corneilus.” Pics can be seen on the WWJ FACEBOOK PAGE. The recap is there too, but I’ll repost it right here for your viewing pleasure 🙂
3/16-18/2012-4 months later and we’re back! Me & Kirk LaSalle left Friday to Goldvein VA to finish up filming inside the gas station. We met Makeup Supervisor Colby Flinchum & actress Kera O’Bryon there for the filming. I basically helped out with crew this night. I believe we arrived at around 7 and we finished around 2:30 AM. kudos to all but extra kudos to Kera for getting thru this while being sick-especially considering what had to be done in this scene. Unfortunately, you all know the rule by now-no makeup/FX pics up until the movie’s out-nor can I post what happens here. Trust me though-this will all be worth the weight.
-The next day we went to another location-this time to work on scenes from the beginning of the movie. Both me & Kirk got “zombified” this day. It’s been awhile since I’ve been like this and, honestly, I did miss it. One funny thing I can mention that happened. We were filming this scene where I walk down the road into the darkness. Usually, I’d walk a certain distance and then Jonathan Straiton (director/producer of NoSS) would yell “Cut” & I’d walk back for another take. Now keep in mind the light only goes so far down this road and the contacts I’m wearing aren’t prescription. So I’m power walking down the road and, since I don’t hear “Cut”, I keep walking. ll of sudden my foot goes into a large puddle (it’s very dark at this point), then I reach the highway, then I almost power walk into a ditch-and still no “cut!” 🙂 I tell ya, zombies get no respect 🙂 We got back to Richmond before midnight on this one.
-Then it was back to Goldvein early to film a scene with me outside the gas station. Colby had to leave by mid afternoon so to save time, he “zombified” me about 70% in the car en route- a first! I do have pics which will be posted with the other 800+ makeup/FX pics I have in reserve when this movie comes out. WE got a lot of the scene done, but not all of it unfortunately-which compounded by a re-occurring problem with the prosthetic I wear. Hopefully the stuff I did get to film today was good enough to use. I believe me & Kirk headed back to NY around 4ish-in part cause I was trying to get as much of the adhesive/makeup/blood off of me before we hit the road. I got back home between 11 PM & midnight. We’re getting closer to getting this all done. On one of those days Jonathan showed us a rough of one of the early scenes that had me & Janet Mayson in it and it looked awesome! More filming is being planned sometime in April.
-As you may know, I just did filming for Episode 2 of “Last Resort”-a new web series by Mad Angel Films. They just released Episode 1 and here it is for your viewing pleasure 🙂
-Course, now with Episode 2 released, that means Episode 3 will be coming soon 🙂 Below is the link to Episode 1.
-Tonight over at Headquarters Utica (in Utica, NY) will be the premiere of “The Brothers”. Following right after that will be a showing of “Night Run”. I have support roles in both movies. For more info on the event, click on the link HERE.
-I unfortunately won’t be able to attend due to more filming this weekend with NoSS (“Night of Something Strange”)-a zombie movie where I play Corneilus-the lead zombie. It’s gonna be an intense weekend. I will be updating how things go on the shoot via the WWJ Twitter Page. Wish me good luck!
-Pics & recaps for both the music video I was in (“Doin My Thing” by Unc Juni) & “Last Resort”-Ep. 2 (Mad Angel Films) can now be seen on the WWJ Facebook Page.
-A question I see appearing time & time again on forums (as well as being asked this myself) is how many social networking sites should a band be on. There are dozens upon dozens (if not more) out there and being able to give them all proper attention is like having a full time job-or longer. How are you able to do the the things a musician is suppose to do-like practice / play your instrument ? Play gigs? Record music? If one isn’t careful, you’ll spend way more time online than doing what you’re suppose to do-but you can do both.
-Now, I fell into this trap initially myself w/ CAROLINE BLUE. CB has it’s own website, but every time I saw a new social networking site, I put CB on it. Within a year, CB was on over 20 social networking sites-and with each one I was updating blogs, show dates, pics, music, videos, etc. so I know the feeling of getting overwhelmed due to this. It’s not like I can hire someone to do this for me (believe me, if I could I would), so what do you do?
-Before I go on, some of you may be just blowing this off and saying “I have a Facebook fan page (or Reverbnation page,etc.)-that’s all I need.” To a degree, this works. IMO, you want to reach out to as many people as you can with your music-even if you’re just doing niche marketing. Also, I believe that you should at least have a presence on as many band sites as you can fit in. Not everyone just goes to Facebook for ex. CB has gained a lot of fans thru another site & thru that site, they found us on Facebook. This also helps in other ways-like establishing your band name as yours in case someone suddenly starts a band w/ the same name as yours (all those sites do show up in search engines).
-So how did I tackle this problem? I chose 6 sites (which includes your own website so it’s really 5) to be what I call the “primary sites.” These are the ones where the most interaction is. All the other sites are known as “secondary sites.” On those, the basics are all set up- bio, discography, etc. & some pics, music & videos. On each of those pages is a notice saying that for more updates, show dates & news, please visit the following sites-which then shows links to the primary sites. With the primary sites, I still do all the work as I was doing before.The secondary ones-all I have to do is reply to people who interact with them. And if there is more interaction on a secondary than a primary, the positions are switched. This way, you’re not stuck on your computer all day/week long doing updates. Keep rockin & see you next month!
