Dear Thirty-Ninth Day Donors, 亲爱的第39天捐赠者们,

YAYTHANKS.

🙂 🙂 🙂               😉

We got a poem yesterday, guys! I’m very excited. You better go look a yesterday’s comments to seeeeeeeeeeeee.

In other news, today I was thanking my lucky stars that I live in the U. S. of A. and not Caihong City. I feel safe here, as if I could walk down the beach, playing with my puppy, and have no worries about being randomly placed in a choke-hold by an abusive police force.  

Well, in any case, there are certain aspects of life in Caihong that are worse than here. If you had to go to Caihong, what you most miss about your homeland, readers? Dollar Menu at McDonald’s???????

多谢多谢!

🙂 🙂 🙂               😉

同志们!我们昨天收到了一首诗!你们最好看看昨天的评论栏!

今天的时候,我想我很感谢我住在美国而不是彩虹城。在这里我感觉安全,就好像我沿着海滩走,和我的狗玩耍,不用担心随随便便就被警察掐住脖子。

呃,不管怎样,彩虹城生活的某些方面确实比这里差。亲爱的读者,如果你不得不去彩虹城,你会最留恋故乡的什么?麦当劳的一美金套餐????

this guy????? 或者这个人????

Back Camera

Laura Cechanowicz – Production Designer

Laura Cechanowicz is a mixed media artist with a not so secret love of production design.

Her training includes experience in the Los Angeles film industry and many (possibly too many) years of school. She received her BA with honors from the University of Michigan with majors in Film & Video, Psychology and German; her MA in Film Studies from the University of Iowa, where she met the incredible crew of Caihong City; her MFA in Animation from the University of Southern California; and she begins her PhD in Media Arts and Practice at USC this fall.  As a production designer, Laura merges her conceptual and technical skills in world-building to design immersive environments that both reflect and shape a character’s consciousness.

Laura paints, designs, creates installations, immersive environments, teaches, produces, studies neuroscience, and passionately enjoys creating and bringing together groups of people.  She is dedicated to creating films that are challenging reflections on diversity, and Caihong City certainly fits within this framework.

You can see more of Laura’s work at her Website or on her Vimeo.

caihong contest
[art by Laura Iancu]

Hello everyone!

We are having a fictive movie poster design contest! The selected artwork will be featured in our sci-fi indie film.

Have you ever dreamed of designing a poster for a movie that doesn’t exist (outside of a science fiction world) ? Now is your chance to create a unique movie poster design that will be featured in an indie sci-fi film!

Inhabitants of the slums of Caihong City love long experimental films (8 to 12 hours)!

The Picture Palace in Sektor Sosegado proudly screens these following films for people with very low serotonin level.

Can you make a movie poster for one of the following fictive film titles?

A. “The Man that Went Inside Water and Filled an Entire Ocean”
B. “Mercury Dance Zest”
C. “Take me Very Very Far Away so I can Dream of Home”
D. “I Smell A Picture of Earth Drawn on Your Wall While You Can’t Even See It”
E. “WaterFish: The Formula of Daylight Dreaming”

Go crazy with your ideas! The most dementedly awesome poster design will get featured in the film and you will get a credit for your work!!

To apply, send a movie poster design for one or more of the film titles above to caihongcity@gmail.com by June 29th.

SPECS: 300 pixels per inch (4500 pixels by 6000 pixels)

Good luck!

Dear Thirty-Seventh Day Donors, 亲爱的第37天捐赠者们,

shout-outs day 37

Thank you so much for your donation!  Manuela is at least as good as our other donors, if not possibly a teensy bit better. She gave us money AND some sugar (pronounced “shu-gah”).

谢谢你们的捐赠!Manuela至少和我们其他的捐赠者一样好,如果她不是个小毛孩会更好。她捐了一些钱和糖(她把sugar发音为“shu-gah”).

someone did a good job cutting out this image!

Here is what she said:

“I believe in this project – it will go down in history! You have an amazing creative mind and wonderful people to support you. Go TEAM CAIHONG CITY!”

下面是她说的话:

“我坚信这个项目会被载入史册!你们有创造力强大的心灵,还有可爱的人在支持你们。加油,彩虹城团队!”

the glitchblogger's thoughts on this

the glitchblogger’s thoughts on this

THUMBS UP, MANUELA! THUMBS UP, US!

She is right. You guys should support us too because we are going down in history!

Speaking of which, who out there wants to be a PART of the history we are making? Lately I’ve been asking questions, some real thinkers according to our blog-readers:

“Like a complicated math question or something.” ~booboo

Now I want YOU to ask the questions. One of our readers specifically requested it. The immortal words:

“I THINK that I would like to be naked all the time . . . I would like to have a store of some kind, where I would sell myself . . . Can you start an “Ask Caihong” video series, please???????????” ~booboo

So ask me no questions and I’ll tell mom you know lies ask some questions and MAYBE I might sing/dance you answer. OR MAYBE I can even ask the director/writer/actors/etc. themselves! OOOOHHHLLLAAAALAAAAAA.

向你竖大拇指,MANUELA! 也向我们,竖起大拇指!

她说得对。你们也应该支持我们因为我们会被载入史册!

说到这个,你们谁愿意成为我们创造的历史中的一部分?不久前,我问了一些问题,一些真正的思考者,我们的博客读者:

“这就像是复杂的数学题一样。”~booboo

现在我想你们来回答问题。我们的读者之一特别要求。不朽名言:

“我想我会想要一直光着身体…我想有一种商店可以卖出我自己…你们可以拍一个“彩虹问”系列视频吗??????~booboo

所以不要问我问题,不然我告诉妈妈你会说谎 问一些问题也许我会唱出/跳出你的答案。或许我甚至可以问问导演/编剧/演员他们!OOOOHHHLLLAAAALAAAAAA.

You know, I feel like this blog can get somewhat negative sometimes. We’re always talking about the post-apocalyptic horrorland as if it were a bad thing. There are definitely some upsides — legal prostitution, for example.

It seems like the rules of Caihong City are designed for maximum control and minimum concern about the welfare of the citizens. That means that all those pesky nanny-state laws that we see in places like the US would be GONE. I, for one, would take advantage of this laxness to drive 70 MPH in a “school zone.” Hahaha, take THAT, stupid children. I would also build a knife-launcher.

What about you guys? What kind of stuff would YOU make if you didn’t have to worry about injuring yourself/others?

我感觉这个博客有时会变得消极。我们总在谈论后启示录恐怖乐园,就好像这是个坏东西。但是绝对有许多好的方面,比如合法嫖娼。

好像彩虹城的规则被设定为对居民最大化的控制和对居民福利最小化的关心。这意味着我们在一些地方,比如美国,所经历的麻烦的,管理过度的法律将消失不见。作为我,我会利用这个空子,在“学校区域”开车飚到70英里/时。哈哈哈,好好享受吧,愚蠢的孩子们。我还会做一个小刀发射器。

你们会怎样做呢?如果你不用担心伤害到自己或他人,你们会做出来什么样的东西呢?
