Charles Forman. Stuff I write down.

Interstellar

Fri, 07 Nov 2014 07:00:00 -0500

I saw Interstellar. You should too. There is a lot of potential in the movie. From the perspective of someone creating a movie, I'm super interested in some of the choices made in this one.

Drawing a story

Tue, 10 Jun 2014 08:00:00 -0400

I've created Storyboard Fountain. It's an app that allows anyone to visualize a screenplay as fast they can draw stick figures. As you write a script, you can quickly visualize to test if a scene works. Create and show animatics to others. Storyboarding allows you to make your movie, without the cost of making a movie.

Writing a screenplay in Fountain

Tue, 15 Apr 2014 08:00:00 -0400

I am writing a screenplay in Fountain. If you are writing a screenplay, I highly recommend using it. Fountain offers not only a great way to write a screenplay, but also flexibility to create new tools to help you conceptualize, visualize, and realize a really great story.

Everything you wanted to know about Charles.

My name is Charles and I've been making stuff my whole life. I'm more of a creative person than a technical one. However, I've been accused at being good at both.

You should start playing with flying robots

Wed, 09 Oct 2013 08:00:00 -0400

Multirotor flying robots are more than just a new kind of toy. They represent the convergence of many pieces of tech, and a huge opportunity for innovation that will have application far beyond flying toys.

I’m making a movie.

Wed, 18 Sep 2013 08:00:00 -0400

After a lot of thought, I have decided to step down from my job so I can focus my energy on developing a movie. I know this seems like it comes out of left field to some people. However, I think most people will understand that while it’s crazy, I have to make movies for my 10 year old self.

Why I make Picturelife...

Fri, 22 Mar 2013 08:00:00 -0400

Like most anyone else, I love my photos. They are incredibly valuable to me. Almost every other week, I hear horrible stories about people have lost their phones. The phone can be replaced but, the photos on it can never be. It's gut wrenching. Even worse, people's entire library of photos have been lost because their hard drive crashed. This should never happen to anyone.

My Trip to the Mayo Clinic

Tue, 05 Mar 2013 07:00:00 -0500

After a couple of minor health issues, I decided to get my personal health in order. I decided to go to a three day intensive physical exam at the Mayo Clinic, the best hospital in the world. I left with more questions than answers.

Charles Forman is a professional dreamer of making the best things possible.

I founded OMGPOP, a video game company, that developed Draw Something, and ultimately sold to Zynga. I have lived in a few great places: Chicago, Tokyo, Seoul, and New York City. Gawker has called me the most interesting new millionaire playboy in tech. In reality, I’m not all that slick with the ladies and whether or not I am interesting, is debatable. I am currently the founder and CEO of Picturelife, my most important work to date.
