The Sonnyboo Mailbag emails sent to the site about Sonnyboo & Peter John Ross ======================= I just wanted to say thanks. You've got a lot
of helpful info on your website. I'm a few steps back from where
you're at. It's nice to have a resource like the one that your
website provides. That's really the key to indie filmmaking, contributing
to the welfare of the up and coming. ======================= Mr Ross, also, I've worked primarily as a composer and
sound designer -- most notably as the assistant music editor on
Twin Peaks and Wild At Heart and most recently as a sound designer
on a documentary I just finished being sound guy on in Germany --
anyway, I'm currently writing a short but want to know more about
editing...is there a book on editing aesthetic and technique you
could recommend (besides the '...Blink of an Eye' book by Murch)? ======================= I wanna say thank you im in the process of saving
for a camera i feel i got a good script or two and your site and
info helped me answer some questions that i couldnt before find
answers too.So once again Thank You sir. People now a days feel
giving lack of info may cancel determined competition. ======================= hi,
thanks alot, =======================
Indeed, ======================= Hey, -Logan- Toronto, Canada PS- Let's do lunch! You like Chinese? ======================= I always like being supportive of anything you do. There are so many people, so many that you may never meet face to face, who's lives and careers have been touched by your altruistic efforts. Bayou, Coach ======================= Peter, Greetings. I consider myself a begining filmmaker and have been inspired by your work and your website. I have two reasons I'm emailing you. One, may I link to your website? Also, I've created a short and used one of your free music pieces, giving you full "Music composed & performed by Peter John Ross, courtesy of Sonnyboo.com" credit as requested on your website and just wanted to let you know how perfect the piece fit into the short. Thanks for your time. Rob Yannetta,
Owner ======================= Thank you for taking the time to put together your free downloads page. For a newcomer looking to put together a no-budget short, it has been invaluable. I am recommending your site to everyone I know out here trying to break in. Brian Wakabayashi ======================= The "Glorious" team headed out to the Cinequest film fest for the finals of the 48 HFP a few weeks back in San Jose California. While I was talking with one guy (forget his name at the moment but he's with StoryPipe) he was discussing his website, and that we were from Ohio, and suddenly he asked 'do you know Peter John Ross?' He went on to say that he was a fan of your work and that he planned on hosting quite a few of your pieces. Just thought you'd be interested in hearing that the Boo has some buzz in San Jose, CA Ryan Lewis ======================= just stumbled upon your site. it is wonderful! -gabe ======================= Hey, My name is John and I just want to say that I really enjoy your short films, and I found your website to be enormously helpful. I am a fairly new filmmaker. I have made a couple of shorts, a few music videos, shot a step-sisters wedding, and some other odd things just to practice. Reading your articles was like getting kicked in the balls, then being told how to grow them back. I can't thank you enough for what you are doing for the indie film community, and more specifically me. I had become discouraged a short while ago and was thinking that I just don't have what it takes to do well in this industry. You made me remember how much I love it. I plan to put up a few questions on your board soon, but for the time being, is there anything you can tell me which would make me feel better about spending as much money as I did on my xl1s. I love it but everything people have said on your sight seems to put it down. And Scott Spears, a man who I respect says he doesn't like the xl1s. I'm not asking for you to lie to me but a little bit of encouragement will go a long way. This will definitely not be my last contact with you from my end, actually you'll probably grow tired of my stupid questions quite quickly. Thanks again for everything you've done. hope to hear from you soon. Your newest Fan!! and supporter THANK YOU so much for putting the download section
up on web. Tremendous resource. ======================= Mr. Ross, About two or three years ago I decided to "go pro" with my obsession. And I have been going "by the seat of my pants", "playing it by ear" if you will. No film school, no formal training... Just doing it. Purchasing the equipment as I found I needed it, the same with software etc... Researching, studying, reading, experimenting, pure trial and error filmmaking! More often than not the results are just what I
wanted. With a few hysterical exceptions! :-) I could make a fortune
with my "blooper reels"! Recently I came across and registered
with IndieTalk.com... Which is where, through your assistance I
"discovered" your website. This is where I realized just
how much I was doing right, and of course how much I was doing wrong.
The latter thankfully was a much smaller percentage! From the overlays to the paperwork templates to
the royalty free music... But most importantly all of the PRICELESS
advice and information! You, Sir, are a wonderful human being! And
I wanted to write you this note to say thank you! Thank you so much for all of the information and
advice! Sincerely, ======================= I just wanted to let you know I found your website by accident today and downloaded one of your short films. I admire your drive and determination. I'm working to create a new site for independent
filmmakers. I hope to put one of my own animated films in full
production soon... Never lose your positive attitude. ======================= Hello there, My name's Chris, I'm from the UK. A friend recently linked me to your site and I was astonished and in awe of your work. It's very authentic and realistic. The strange thing is, that prior to seeing the site, me and a few mates made a film in which a section from the army make their way through a forest on a mission, whilst being taunted by a creature. If you'd like to take a look, you can visit our site here http://seleniumband.co.uk/grease_monkey.htm Many Thanks, ======================= Hi Peter, Just wanted to say I enjoy your work and thanks
for -Tony ======================= I and my husband are starting a independent film company. we have cable access and a SONY PD-150. All the info on your site helped a lot. THANK YOU!!! Kristi and Erick Thurman ======================= Hey! I got hooked into your site via Mac Format’s CD—thanks so much for all this great stuff! I teach media productions at a high school in Maryland, and while I want to give my students the most “real” experience possible, a public school’s budget is not a movie-maker’s dream. Your templates, sounds, suggestions are top-notch, and my students will go nuts with them! What a nice thing to do-- Xoxo Meg Render Hi Peter, Many thanks again, maybe I'll join you for a few
drinks stateside a few years down the line. ======================= Dude, you rule...this is one of the best sites for fledgling filmmakers I have ever seen. (it's kinda like an idiot's guide to filmmaking...much needed by myself). Thanks for all you are doing...peace, Sam Colson ======================= Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for putting all
the downloads you have online and in one place! (I may have already
emailed you "Thank You" before because I found something
else I was looking for-I keep finding the forms on your Thanks again. All the best, Kate Barry ======================= Mr. Ross, My husband and I are making a travel video (I've
no desire to make a feature film) and I'm sure we'll find your website
a valuable resource. Oh, and do you ever work for free?????? ....just
kidding. ======================= Hello fellow filmmaker,
Yours truly, ======================= Mr. Ross: Again, thank you so much and I wish you the greatest
of luck now and in the near future. "work with what you got" ======================= Hey I've been reading alot of your articles, and they've really helped me along. Kris Kinsella ======================= Hi Peter, Thanks heaps ======================= This might seem strange, but I am your BIGGEST FAN!!! I don't know if you hear that alot, but its true, I admire you and your work, I read all your articles and lead my life via them...you may think what sado is this bothering to e-mail me? Well my name is Matt, I am from Scotland and I run a small time film making group called MIR Studios (it does not really stand for anything at the mo, but ideas are welcome) I have followed youe advice on all aspects of filmmaking. I also have a website www.minidia.co.uk, it will soon be the MIR Studios website, but for now its pretty useless. Thanks ======================= Jim Quinlan ======================= Hello, I really like the web site a lot of free information and downloads you have available thanks ======================= I came across your site today and just want to
express my appreciation for what you provide. It's incredibly generous
of you, and I sincerely hope that the universe rewards you for your
generosity.
Congratulations again, ======================= Ross, Regards, |
