Inertial Fallacy Productions is, as the name might suggest, a fledgling -- make that very fledgling -- video production company. We're so fledgling that the page you're looking at is really just a placeholder for things to come. But it's also a sort of preview of coming attractions, an introduction to the people involved and a soon-to-be spotlight site for music, images and, eventually, animation from our first project, an adaptation of the H.P. Lovecraft story "The Music of Erich Zann."
Our current -- and, at the moment, only -- project is an animated rendition of "The Music of Erich Zann," a story by the late, great American pulp horror writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft.
We now have a MIDI clip from John Harp's "Zann Sonata," a sextet for strings (double bass, two cellos, viola and two violins). The clip is pretty small and comes from the middle of the first movement. Click here to hear it.
We're still hoping that sometime before the end of January we'll have full-blown model sheets and even some of the storyboarding ready for presentation, although we're not really hopeful at the moment. Check back for updates -- and for the time being, enjoy the Lovecraft-related links at the bottom of the page.
In alphabetical order:
John Harp is 20 years old and a music and creative writing double major at the University of Houston. (We all think he's crazy, and even he knows he's never going to graduate.) He's also a tuba virtuoso, an amateur philosopher and a big fan of everything George Lucas has ever done. He does most of his composition work on the MIDI-equipped Macintosh computers at the Moores School of Music at U of H, and is upgrading his 486DX4/100 so that he can do his work late at night like any properly insane composer.
Nicholas Long is 19 years old and an art major with a math minor at the University of Houston. He is more likely to graduate than John is, but we're still not placing any bets. He has a strange irrational fixation with drawing and painting bathroom fixtures and power plants, though not in the same piece as far as we are aware. He also quite enjoys Japanese animation, even though that's not his drawing style. His PC is some sort of Pentium, and he does the vast majority of his computer-based work in CorelDraw 6 and Adobe PhotoShop, but that's when he's not drawing on sketchpads or the walls in his studio.
Meredith L. Patterson is a 20-year-old creative writing major with an anthropology minor at, as we mentioned, the University of Houston. She also once had aspirations of becoming a film major, but abandoned them because U of H's film department really sucks, so instead she's the one handling the script adaptation and direction. However, she wastes most of her time working as the weekend proofreader for the Houston Press and doing the occasional freelance job for them. She still uses the same Windows 3.11-based 486DX2/66 that she got when she started college and shows no signs of changing that any time soon. Probably because she doesn't need to. Pbbblt.
