Well it has been a little while since I posted up anything new. So here is the 411 over at To Tony Productions. Right now I just got done making a cinema style introduction for a short film in my video production class. That intro will be put up on youtube this Sunday at midnight. Also as far as Gas Guzzlers I finished re filming the last scene about a week ago, however I have not really had too much time to mess with things in the editing room. Once school slows down more or I just find time I will start to mess with it. I promise that it will be done soon though. Other things going on...well for that same production class I have to do a short film, so I can gurantee at least one new short film from To Tony Productions before the end of the year. In addition I have also started a new unique project which takes basically the same type of footage but just on a grand scale and slap that all together into one big video...I have a name for it but the name gives waaaaay too much away about it. Just know that when it is done it will come out of nowhere! Other than that I am just going to be promoting the company and spreading the word.
Thanks fans,
Dan H.

New Designs and Logos!
It has been a while since I have posted anything up, mainly because I wanted to let people find the trailer for Gas Guzzlers very easily. Anyway I have a lot of new logos and designs for the company...

This first one is sort of a representation of the things that have been going on in my life as well as just an abstract piece. In my dark times I have just put out different words that are connected but then disjointed in the same vein as the way the limbs of the tree are...they may all have a common root but each limb sort of goes out on its own path.
In this one I again used the disjointed sayings and words to kind of be a motto for the independence of the company but then use a certain letter in each line to spell out To Tony. I like this one a whole lot and think it is very original and shows the artistic side of TTP.

This final one is a picture of my cousin Bryce who is actually Tony's younger brother. He was born after Tony's death but he is still his brother. In this one I took a very candid picture of him looking at my messed up chair in my room. After a while he got mad that I kept taking pictures and left. I decided to put the To Tony words on his head because I felt like that was a symbol for how he carries a piece of Tony with him and in his mind. I just wanted to do something abstract but again deep.
I hope you like the new designs as I have been putting them up on the facebook page over the past few days now. Don't forget to click the links below for all the cool stuff to check out.

Where We Stand
Ok so basically here is where we stand for everything. First off the trailer is pretty much done for "Gas Guzzlers," I have it all put down and ready, all I need to do is add the little To Tony Productions logo at the beginning and adjust the color of the whole thing. Secondly True Docs is over but right now I am kicking around some ideas with people about perhaps doing a weekly comedy thing. I have done a lot of drama and all that jazz so maybe I can bring laughter to people I don't know. Finally, on Monday I am going to start editing the final cut of "Gas Guzzlers," so that I can send it out to all the little festivals.
All in all this has been a great year for myself and for To Tony Productions. Thanks to the support of Ash, Chad, Joe, Jordan, Hector, Steve, Victoria, and Tony.

Final Teaser Poster

So this is the final Teaser poster for Gas Guzzlers. Soon coming from me there is going to be a trailer and an official poster. Hopefully you will enjoy the trailer and everything. Anyway school starts tomorrow and I am nervously excited as always. I want to get into the swing of things because school is where I always manage to write my best stories. I am trying to get an article in my school newspaper so that way people can see all the hard work I put into my summer and all that jazz. Also going to promote To Tony Productions like crazy!!!!
Stay tuned for more,

So lately I feel as though my blog has just been a vessel for all my new products and videos so I am here to finally post up just a lot of updates. For starters my last True Docs episode is going up Sunday at Midnight, this episode will be entitled Enjoy and it will basically be a look back and a look forward. The overall message for my final True Docs is to enjoy life and all that comes with it. The next update is that same morning at 9 will be my last day filming for "Gas Guzzlers," I am doing a lot of scenes up at my secret location...Anyway after all that is done I can finally start to edit the film, finish it, get it approved by everyone involved, make a trailer from that, and then hopefully a friend of mine will score it for me. After that I send it out to some festivals and we will all see where it goes from there. Also coming up soon I am going to be completing what looks to be three different music videos for local rap studio Mania Music Group. More on all that later, time to get ready for work. Wish me luck with everything.
Thanks for the huge support,
Dan Hess

New Hoodie
Well the summer is starting to reach its peak here in Maryland. However fall and winter are right around the corner...unfortunately. However in my merch shop I have one new hoodie for you guys out there to gobble up. So go ahead and check it out. Also this week if all goes to plan I will be posting up my newest video for the True Docs series, which I am thinking about having a season finale for next week. This week the episode is all about Failure...because of the fact that I tried to highlight certain things in my community but it didn't work out...not because of myself but because my community seems to be so rude. Anyway be on the lookout for that and also check out the merch shop for all your clothing needs.

Out Today For Film
Today I am going to be hitting the park to film more of my "Gas Guzzlers," documentary style short film. I will be out most of the morning and after all that probably going out to film my next True Docs episode, which this week will be about the carnival. If anyone has noticed I have not put up a new True Docs video this week and I have not forgotten about it or anything. I was merely taking a week off to focus more heavily on my film work. I just wanted to be able to do a better directing job and really get a lotta sh*t done. Anyway a lot of exciting opportunity coming my way so things are only getting better from here. Trailer for my film is coming soon and also the next True Docs will be up on Monday.
Keep the creativity,
Dan
