Secrets of the Masters The Wu Sisters
Secrets of the Masters The Wu Sisters
So I can finally show some animation I did at on this short! This short was a real pleasure to work on, partly due to the generosity of Mr. Ken Duncan giving me a lot of control over these characters. I wasnt a lead but I kinda felt like one in terms of having ownership and a definite opinion about the characters. It was good casting for me. Plus I only focused on the Wu sisters, which was fine by me because before we started I wanted to do those characters anyway! Unfortunately in terms of the story the characters arent terrible textured or dimensional. But that left it up to us to try and add as much as we could with what we had to work with.
My general idea about them was to base them on ballet dancers. I had other acting ideas about them but there was really no where to put the ideas in the context of this story. The director wanted something slightly sexy as well, and being cats I could see how that would fit. But mostly I saw them as really graceful beings. But I wanted a flip side and stark contrast in that when they fought all of the sofistication and poise you once saw was gone and they became more primal. Theyre eyes changed to cat slit eyes and theyre general graphic shape changed as well.
These arent all of the shots I did but it is most of them. Quite a few of these got cut from the film unfortunately. I was slated to do a lot more acting but I got so front loaded with the action stuff that there was no way for me to get it all done in time. Fortunately the talented Mr. Jared Beckstrand did a lot of the acting shots as well as Mr. Ken Duncan.
Hope you enjoy these. It was a real pleasure to work on!

Heres a book I illustrated the cover for last year. Getting the composition to work with all those branches was tricky, and I still not sure the hierarchy is as clear as it should be, though it looks pretty good with the title in there.

REO Listing Secrets
REO Listing Secrets

10% of All Agents Do 90% of the Business
It’s Time to Get Your Share of the Pie
The real estate bust has hit most of us pretty hard. Sales are down. Commissions are down. Yet the numbers haven’t really changed as far as
who
is making the money. 90% of all sales are made by about 10% of agents. That doesn’t leave a lot of room – or money – for the rest of us.
Hi, I’m Ed Kowalski.
I’m an REO listing agent and a real estate investor. In fact, I started out as a real estate investor. Sure, I had my real estate agent license but to me, the “real money” was in flipping houses. But, as every real estate agent and investor knows, the money was very uneven. Some months I’d be flush and other months I’d be dead broke. I ended up taking a “real” although “temporary” job (which I hated, of course) just to make ends meet.
I ran into a couple of agents who (fortunately!) decided to help me out by opening my eyes to BPOs. They said,
“Look since you’re licensed, you can actually make $25.00 – $60.00 an hour doing
B
roker’s
P
rice
O
pinions.”
(
BPOs
)
I’ll admit at first that didn’t do much for me. Then he asked me point blank,
“How much money are you going to make this week?”
“Eh…probably about $500 bucks take-home, after taxes.” I mumbled.
To which he fired back,
“I’m going to make that today.”
Truly, it was a no-brainer for me. Work 40 hours a week for $500 doing something I didn’t like or learn BPOs, control my own life and schedule again and make five times the money. My first year doing BPOs brought in over $30,000 — not a bad sideline to my investing business and it gave me steady money so I could work my business without having to worry about keeping the lights and phones turned on. In time, my wholesaling business was going strong and I subbed out the BPOs to a licensed friend, taking a little override.
And then the bust hit. Like you, I have been through the real estate ringer. Now, I’m not going to tell you that I was living in a van down by the river but things got tight. And if you got a bad feeling in your stomach when I said that, you know what I’m talking about. Fewer deals. Lower prices meaning lower commissions. Financing falling through at the closing table. A lot more hard work for a lot less money. You probably know that all too well. It was tough just covering the bills and putting food on the table. In short, I wasn’t making it in real estate — as an investor or as an agent. In fact, I lost just about everything and had to declare bankruptcy.
I had to start over from ZERO. But I had one thing going for me:
My Real Estate License.
I remembered what saved my butt just a few years before. I swallowed what little pride I had left and told my friend I needed to do my own BPOs again.
I have to admit, I was a little embarrassed about doing BPOs again, especially after I had had someone else doing them for me. I mean, go out to a property, take pictures, do up the report, sometimes for as little as $25? But you know what? I could make more money and have more freedom doing crummy BPOs than I could if I took on another “real job.” I pulled up my big boy pants, sucked it up and did it.
You know, this real estate market has really served up a lot of challenges. A lot of people have dropped out of the business. But when life throws a huge challenge at you, you have to decide what kind of person you want to be. Are you the person who gives up, says “This is too tough” and tries something else? Or do you roll up your sleeves and tell yourself, “Come hell or high water, I’m going to figure this out and I WILL WIN!” The winners are the people who do what it takes to get the job done.
If you think BPOs are beneath you, you’re not seeing the BIG picture.
BPOs are your entry point into REO Listings
I knew BPOs would help me ride out the storm but I wanted more. BPOs were
NOT
the end result I was looking for. I knew I could leverage them to get my foot in the door with Asset Managers.
The money is in the REO listings.
Any agent knows that listing agents make more money and get the sales glory. I didn’t need the glory. But I could sure use the money. I wanted a steady six figure income I could count on. I got to work on figuring out how I could make the jump from doing the BPO to getting the listing. I knew that BPOs were the key to getting my name in front of Asset Managers.
I restarted my BPO business in 2007, with an eye to moving into REO Listings. I had a specific goal when I started; I just needed to figure out how to get there. The first thing I did was to go after as many BPOs as I could handle. Asset Managers hate to be bugged for listings but they don’t mind agents asking to do BPOs. I signed up with as many lenders and BPO mills as I could. I checked the BPO posting boards every day. And I made sure that I followed through on every BPO, showing Asset Managers that I was thorough, efficient and that I delivered every time. It didn’t take long before I was being contacted to handle the REO listings.
In 2012, the average Realtor had 10 transaction sides.
I had over 100.
Now, some agents are happy with 10 sides. They make a specific amount of money to meet their needs and they are done. And that’s okay. But I like to build something bigger than just me. I developed systems and a team concept to grow my REO business from the average one agent office to a fully functioning team. In 2012, I had 106 units sold,
resulting in $10.4 million in sales.
I was one of the top 3 agents in the Baltimore metro area for REO volume.
THAT’S
what I mean by dominating your market!
Do I still do BPOs? No. But I have people on my team who do. In fact, it’s still a great income stream for me. But I make the bulk of my money on REO listings. Did I just “have a good year” in 2012? No. I consistently put up big numbers once I transitioned to REO Listings. In 2011, I did $12.4 million in REO sales on 95 units with an average of 48 days on market. That’s quite a bit of business for one year. Here are the results of my hard work over the past few years:
493 REOs sold
$83 Million+ in Sales
Over 20 clients serviced
Over 1.2M in commissions earned
In fact, my REO business took me to the next step: I recently SOLD my REO business to my brokerage for a six-figure, four-year residual, passive income stream. I could not have done that without having systems in place.
Now I’m looking to help other real estate agents and just regular folks like Todd Broshardt who was working a job he no longer had a passion for. I told him to get his real estate license and then I helped Todd build a BPO business bringing in twice the income of his previous job.
I’m not going to give you a big sales pitch or tell you that you won’t make it as an agent if you don’t get this. Anyone who has ridden the real estate roller coaster over the past five years and is still standing is a survivor. Are my results typical? Not for the average real estate agent. BUT they are ACHIEVABLE by the average real estate agent who is willing to put in the effort to work my system.

Is this you:
Your finished screenplay sits
in your lap. Its your masterpiece, and it has taken you many long months
(or possibly years) to finish. You keep reading and analyzing and trying
to pinpoint any possible weak points in your storyline. You give a copy
to your friends to read, to co-workers, to your neighbors...and probably
even your mom, hoping for their approval and input in case you missed
something. After all, you only have one shot at this, and you better have
your script perfect on its first submission. If Hollywood agents and producers
dont like what they read the first time around, your script is forever
dead.
Screenwriting is a business! The audience is your customer!
Give them exactly what they want or your script will fail!
Whether it be a horror film, a love story, an adventure movie, a comedy, or any other genre of film, the Seven Moments are the universal foundation to every storyline. Without them, your story will
fail miserably
. My book exposes these secret moments and teaches you how to capitalize on their attention-grabbing power.
Captivating an audience is tough work. Im here to help you. Ive written a book about the Seven most powerful Moments within a movie that keep your audiences eyeballs glued to the screen. Ever notice how some movies put you to sleep? And some keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end? There is an applied technique for captivating an audience. Nobody else teaches how to do this. I discovered the Seven Moments, and Ive written a book specifically geared towards screenwriters. You will learn how to use these moments to craft a strong screenplay.
To the most important person in the production process
-
the screenwriter
:
do you want to know what
really
matters in
a movie? Do you want a competitive edge that will
help you write and sell your screenplay? Are you tired of all
the circular ambiguity that film schools and books teach? Do you want
to know the
core elements
that make a movie successful?
Without
the Seven Moments, your script will FAIL!
I’ve studied over a
thousand
movies. Dissected them. Dictated every word of dialogue, every moment of
action. This book is a summary of what I found to
be the primary moments within a movie that make an audience take notice.
I spent eighteen straight months dissecting some of Hollywoods most profitable movies. What I learned was truly shocking: There are universal moments within every scene that make an audience take notice. Anyone can learn what these moments are, and can use this knowledge to write a
script that will captivate any audience. With my book at your side, you will have an extreme edge over your screenwriting competition.
This information is not presently taught
anywhere else on the planet!
You will not find another book that discusses what I reveal in this eBook. Not yet, at least. Inevitably this information will find its way into film schools because this information is what separates the blockbusters from the box-office failures. And any credible film school will adopt this system of analysis before too long.
What you will learn becomes blatantly obvious once you understand the concepts. After reading my book, you will be able to sit down, watch any movie, and easily spot the strongest (and weakest) scenes. You will be able to do the same with any screenplay.
Screenplay: The Seven Moments
that will captivate your audience
reveals the secrets
behind every great movie and every successful scene. The book teaches
you how to spot the weak scenes in your screenplay and beef up those
that deserve further attention. And for the
screenwriters who read my book, you will develop a complete understanding
of these secret moments and how they impact your audience. I guarantee
you will start writing extremely powerful scenes after you read my
book!
Ive also provided a numerical rating system for analyzing a screenplay that
teaches a step-by-step method for analzying every page of your script. Once you understand how to properly analyze a script, you will be able to measure the strength of each scene; and you will begin to see things you never saw before. Weak scenes will be glaringly obvious, and strong scenes will be impossible to miss. You will know what can be safely cut from your script, and what should be further developed.
My name is Christian Blake. A number of years ago I discovered Seven Moments that are essential to the success of every film. I recently decided to share what Ive learned and help those who are interested in making a great movie. Buy my eBook
Screenplay: The Seven Moments that will captivate your audience
and you will quickly develop the ability to spot great scripts and eliminate/strengthen scenes with ease. I guarantee it.
These are some of the benefits for those who have a thorough understanding of the Seven Moments and how they specifically apply to a successful film:
You will have the power
to spot weak scenes. This is fundamental when trying to objectively
analyze a screenplay. If you dont know when to stop writing, then
you probably arent delivering a focused story from beginning to
end, and your script will most likely be rejected.
After reading my book and studying a few movies, you will be able to craft stronger scenes during the first draft. You will have a skill-set that most writers do not have, and this will give you a tremendous edge when writing your script.
One of the Seven Moments packs a powerful punch when properly delivered to an audience, and after you read my chapter on this subject, you will understand why. From that point forward, you will make it a point to use that particular moment within your scenes. By doing this, you will elevate the raw power in
every scene.
You will be able to spot the strong scripts from the ones that arent worth your time. This is necessary if you are a producer or director looking for the next "big thing".
The last few chapters of my book will instruct you how to mathematically measure the relative strength of a screenplay. Yes, you heard me right: you can assign an objective number to various aspects of a script and determine how strong it is. This is far more valuable than the subjective analysis of a "cover writer". With properly calculated numbers in hand, you will know how good your script really is.
You will no longer "wonder" what matters in a story and on screen. You will
know
.
I am so confident that you will find this information invaluable to your film-making library, that I am offering a
56-day money-back guarantee!
Thats right. You have
EIGHT WEEKS
to prove me wrong. If after eight weeks you decide that this book did not live up to your expectations, then I will refund your money, no questions asked.
