The Beginning of DemonFish
April 2005
I was in a class called Introduction to Folklore and for my final group project, my group had decided to make a video. Now, for this project, all I did was shoot the thing. I was the cameraman. The editing and post-production was done by someone else, using Windows Movie Maker. It was a good project, I learned something...Tripods are your friends.

October 2005
Fast forward to the next semester. I decided to take a class called Alternative Fiction. In this class, my second project was a group video project. We decided that we wanted to film the ending to the story of "Robby's Kill Box." For this project, I shoot the entire thing as well. However, I took up the job of editing as well, to test the powers of my ibook. This experience bought much joy to my life. I was happy editing and coming up with ideas. I was happy with the outcome and our grade proved it was a good production!

November/December 2005
On the heels of creating "Robby's Kill Box," our final project was stated as anything. I went to Zach and I asked him about a Magic Documentary, to fuel my new found joy of film making and his joy of magic. Thus, Magic/Mirror, the first joint venture between Zach and myself and the first official production of DemonFish. It didn't turn out the way we hoped, but it was a good experience for both of us. Magic/Mirror was a success in our eyes.

December 2005
For months, I've had been thinking about podcasting. I wanted to have some content that could be seen/heard to an audience besides my classmates and professors. I had been a member of Rice Bowl Journals for about a year and I had this idea. How about a podcast that used the ideas that form the foundation of Rice Bowl Journals. And thus, the pilot episode of BOWLcast, A RBJ Podcast, was created. After a brief hiatus, RBJP is now a bi-weekly production that is created using VoIP. I am hopeful for a RBJ Meetup/Live ep, however it maybe a while before this occurs. RBJP switched over to DemonFish in February 2006. For more information on RBJP, you can visit the main blog at http://rbjpodcast.demonfish.net

February/March 2006
At this point, DemonFish had done some private video projects and a open audio podcast. It was time for something new! Zach and I teamed up once again, and co-wrote an original mentalism themed magic performance for No Boose Weekend at Seneca Hall, a dorm hall in College in the Woods at Binghamton University. That performance was held on Feb. 25th, 2006.

On the heels of the No Boose Weekend, Zach and I were happy. However, we realized it needed much work. After a bit of tuning, we held another performance for Libby Tucker’s Folklore class, the same class that fueled the first "unofficial" production of DemonFish. The folklore was a big boost for us as it fueled other ventures.

April 2006
With two stage shows under our belts, DemonFish produced a third show for LASU. The show was about 45 mins in length and helped us fine tune some skills.

So, that's the history of DemonFish. It's not a great one, but that's not what we were aiming for. Currently, every production/performance hurts us. And when I say us, I mean Zach or myself. We not complaining, it's one of the scarifies that we have to make to create content that people can enjoy. Zach and I are currently lucky that Binghamton supplies us with Cameras, Web Space, and Bandwidth. We're also lucky that ourmedia charges nothing to host these productions and gives us a Creative Commons Copyright. We are just two people who create something out of nothing. Believe us when we say that these productions do not bring us any fame, and/or fortune. When you look at production cost, you would think the both of us were mentally insane!
