History of Rockstudios
Message from Zack:
The very first Rockstudios logo.
"As far as I can remember, I was always into making movies. the VERY first thing I can remember was a silly thing called "Spider man cartoon maker" Where I made what now would be called horrible creations.
Strange thing is, I never really thought about making movies when I thought about what I would be when I grew up at the time, But the love for it was always there. Even at the times when I was sure I wanted to have a business, I was always making movies. So in a way you could say I was making movies all my life.
But Rockstudios really didn't start until George, My friend, moved in. We started to make simple movies, barely any better then the horrible ones I made before, But I remember the day the Name "Rockstudios" came up.
Maybe It has something to do with the gravel beneath our feet. Maybe it's just the simplest thing we could think of. I will never understand why I said those words while swinging with George. "How 'bout Rockstudios?"
-Zack Vally
Creator and owner."
The early days
The second Rockstudios logo.
It was more of a silly game then anything. Zack and George already made what they called "Movies" even before the name "Rockstudios" Came up, But the name was the first sign of "Professionalism" in their movies.
Before Zack got a digital camera, The movies weren't edited, So the camera was a very important milestone for Rockstudios, because it was the first time ever that the video was imported to a computer for editing. Even with the very first videos, Special effects was used. Such as one video, as Zack remembers.
It was a two second video of George picking up a little red man. I imported the video, Frame by frame, Into the well known paint program. Then, Frame by frame I drew in the little red man.
Although they didn't know it then, This computer generated effect, would launch Rockstudios into the first "Real" movie series.
The Big bad guy

The Big bad guy, Animated with The Paint program Zack had a large imagination. Before Ammanda, His sister, "Grew up", They used to play games that involved a imaginary giant that was always causing trouble. They would pretend to run from it, Shooting toy guns at it and trying to find a way to defeat it. This game launched the big bad guy series.
Zack and George decided to start a "Movie" based on the game. This movie, which was only a few seconds long, was at the time, Considered their best work.
"We were so darn proud of it" Zack says. "But if you were to see it now, You would think it was horrible!"
They had so much fun with this short video, That they made another....And another.....And another.....and ended the series with a 10th.
These videos are a great example of Rockstudios's progress. As said, The very first one wasn't very good, But the 10th is pretty nice, For our skill at the time.
