Shattered Vow was huge — there's no arguing that it wasn't. The project started with only a few people, but as production moved forward, our team grew larger and larger. By the premiere, we had tripled in size and reached new heights.

For most of the team, Shattered Vow was the first taste of Film Club. However, Shattered Vow was the exception, not the rule. It's important to know the history of Film Club and our video-making process.

Not all videos require the same amount of preparation, and for all of Film Club's history there have been two types of videos: Silly Short Skits and More Serious Shorts.

Shattered Vow taught us a lot, and now it's time for us to get back to our roots. Below are the guidelines for Clemson Film Club moving forward:

• One Major Production per semester
• One video per month (when not working on a Major Production)
• We are returning to the classic Film Club process (see above in this post)
• Alone on the Canvas is being condensed into a More Serious Short and will not be submitted to NBC

I love the momentum and progress we have with Alone on the Canvas. In order to keep the club from burning out, the story is being condensed into a serious short, and we are lightening our workload so we can focus on future projects.

Film Club has always been about exploring everyone's filmmaking ideas, and it is not a business. The turnout and support for Shattered Vow was immense, however we are students with lives to live, and I can't ask you to sacrifice your weekends to produce another masterpiece. Rather than focusing on the ideas of a few for an entire semester, we are open to producing the ideas of all of our members.

Below is a document called The Film Club Bible, which I wrote for the Waccamaw Film Club when I graduated. Although it is a bit dated, it contains lessons I learned during Film Club's infancy. I highly recommend you read it.

Let that sink in: Clemson Film Club, aka Inscribe Productions, a club which had only formed a few months ago, had just swept the competition. Most of our crew had no previous film experience, but everyone was so determined to make a good movie that we threw everything we had into making a real film.

One of the heads of Clemson's Graphics Communications departments had told me that she had tried to find our club in January but was unable to and had no idea we existed. She was surprised to find out that we only officially became a club about a month ago!

I haven't been updating this blog as much I should have, but this was too important not to document and share. I've had an absolute blast on this project, and I can't wait for whatever comes next!

P.S. I know this reads like a sappy 80s family flick but bear with me, this is a big moment for me

You can watch our three-time award-winning short film, Shattered Vow below, as well as a timelapse I made of my 22-hour editing marathon.

Unfortunately, Inscribe has had to take another brief hiatus. I'm in a place with limited internet access, so Inscribe will have to be idle for awhile. However Inscribe will be back at it this summer.

Thank you so much to all of our followers and subscribers! I'm really sorry that I had to drop off the face of the earth for several months—I really didn't have a choice. I just want to say I love all of you who have stuck around to watch our content!

We released two videos back-to-back this month! Check them out below and tell us what you think.

We are planning larger scale production and more frequent uploads. Right now, we are preparing our next video which, don't let out this secret, will be thematically similar to Rest Without Peace. It's not directly an 80s parody but is definitely influenced by 80s cinema. As for now, enjoy our first video of the new year and check back to see what we come up with!

What better way to celebrate a hiatus than by hitting a milestone? Inscribe now has 200 subscribers. I really hope I don't disappoint any of them.

Be warned, your monthly dosage of Inscribe videos may halt briefly. Most of our members are leaving for different colleges, and unless we resort to some sort of animation, we won't be able to regularly meet to produce content. August is the last month that we can confidently prepare for a video. I hope you understand the situation. We have managed to consistently provide monthly videos for 21 months as of July 2016, and although I'd love to watch that number grow, it will have to soon come to an end.

We are not going to stop making videos. However, people are coming and leaving, a lot of things are changing. We hope you continue to enjoy what we provide.

The first video made specifically for the new channel was recently cancelled and instead sent to the realm of misfit videos. In fact, not one but three videos were sent to the grave. I'm not linking the disregarded content in this post, but you can find on our home page a link our trashed videos in the Vault.

We can only be confident in upholding the one-video-per-month policy until August, Most of the crew is leaving for college, myself included. If Inscribble prevails (unlike the train wreck that was P3NC1L Play), then we'll try to maintain a consistent online presence, even being miles apart. The potential good news is that perhaps new people could join.

This year, we welcomed Houston and Jakub onto the team. Who knows who we'll meet in 2017?

We had a LOT of changes in 2015. The first notable change in 2016 was the executive choice to demote four videos to the Vault. Don't worry, the favorite videos from 2012 like In the Pocket are still available. The four videos removed from YouTube were ones that Bennett made alone and thereby did not feel like Inscribe content.

Like always, removed content is still available for public access in the Inscribe Vault.

Like usual, we're having our annual Inscribe marathon to celebrate another year of Inscribe. This may be our last year doing this, though I hope it's not. All of Film Club is invited, and there will be a surprise incentive available to try to win (cough cough free t-shirt).
