Cloudy Logic is doing a Rock Documentary on SNAFU. This Rockumentary started before I was a part of the band but Cloudy Logic has flattered me and insisted interviewing me to get me in the Rockumentary before they finished productions. It was nerve wrecking for me because this was my first official interview in front of a camera. I'm shy at heart, so I hope I did a good job "playing" relaxed.
I played a reverse role with the owner of Cloudy Logic, Ken Lowrie. Normally he is the one asking the questions but it was my turn to ask him a couple of questions, so we all have an understanding of who Cloudy Logic is and how they crossed paths with SNAFU. Here are the questions I asked Ken via email and his answers.
Novel-T: How did Cloudy Logic come to be?
Ken: Cloudy Logic was "officially" formed in 2004. Although we began creating media content in the late 1990's, and published originally under the name "Cloud 9 Entertainment", which was actually the name of another production company we later found out, so we had to change it. :) We love making movies, music videos, pretty much anything and everything with a camera. What started as a hobby has turned into a career, but it doesn't really feel like that most of the time, because we really love doing this!
Novel-T: How did you meet Snafu?
Ken: As part of one of our final projects at Full Sail University, we had to pitch a treatment for some type of video project to the Producing Class instructors. A few of my classmates had met SNAFU at their CD Release Party that was filmed by the crew over at Orlando Live, and so we decided to approach them with a concept to produce a music video for their track "The Girl". We just needed their buy-in and support, originally we didn't actually plan to shoot it, since the goal of the class project was only to get the instructors to "green light" it. But after we did all the work, we kind of liked it, and so we decided to pursue actually producing it. Cloudy Logic signed on as one of the primary producers behind the project, and things just kind of took off from there.
Novel-T: Why did you choose Snafu for a Rock Documentary?
Ken: Cloudy Logic has had a number of successes in our past shooting and producing documentary style projects. It's fun to capture and tell the story of places and people. Although we kind of wanted to shoot another music video, logistical issues prevented that, so I pitched the idea of the rockumentary to the band, they liked it, and so we got started. Believe it or not, that was back in early 2010! It's been a long road, but we're just about done, and ready to release it. I can't wait, and I know that SNAFU and their fans can't either. A lot has changed since we wrapped principal photography and began the long road down post production lane. They added a new singer, er uh, that would be you; they recorded a new album which should be coming out soon, etc., etc. So we gotta get this out, cause it's getting a bit dated already. LOL!
Novel-T: What's next for Cloudy Logic?
Ken: We're just continuing to make new stuff, although nowadays we try to stick to shorter duration projects, because we can turn them around a lot faster. Of course when the right project comes along, you can be sure we'll jump on board, regardless of the length and/or complexity! So to answer your question, "Yes, something's next, we just aren't sure what it is just yet! :) In the mean time, we're just gonna keep making anything and everything that comes our way."
Novel-T: When do you think the SNAFU Rockumentary will be released?
Ken: We are planning on doing the world premiere on December 3rd, 2011. Stay tuned to us as well as SNAFU on Facebook and/or Twitter for more details. As far as general release, our immediate plans are to run through the film festival circuit with it, so it'll probably be a little while before you can see it on Vimeo or Facebook. Which is all the more reason to come out and watch it on December 3rd!
