So I am finally getting around to watching my screener copy of the film, "100 Tears". Overall this movie is good. I wish I could have had a chance to finished a proper score and master my audio tracks. The only thing that really bothers me is that I really wanted to do some percussion stuff. I was told no over and over again. Then I watch this movie and Carl Homer, the other composer did a bunch of percussion stuff. I guess its ok though.
The Music Box
I have been diggin deep into my script for "The Music Box". I decided that the cause of all this mess is a legless witch or gypsy that coughs up tar like blood. I am going against myself by having this short be in black and white. I think this will be a little bit easier with the shitty lighting situation.
Back from Screamfest 2007
Well I am exhausted, mentally and physically. The trip was good overall but my body is beat to shit by the end of it all. I don't think I should have a booth next year. I made more contact just hanging out with people. I did speak with Lloyd. It turns on Kiel doesn't work for Troma anymore so I need to send another email to get Lloyd out here for Body in a Dumpster. Need to get on that. I also spoke with Marcus Koch of 100 Tears and he agreed to do the special fx for my film as well.
Finally
Ron Atkins just called me and he got the package. Every piece of music will be used and that is awesome.
So the fact the some stuff isn't going 100% right now does not bother me. Ron tells me he is taking this film to Hollywood and will be flying me out for the premiere. Hopefully everything goes well from here.
2 more Days
2 Days until I leave for Florida. I am sorta freaking out because I don't know if everything is going to be ready. We only have one Body in a Dumpster poster, the trailer is not finished, I need to make up my script for Lloyd to read while I am down there. It just seems like way to much shit going on. I have not heard back from Ron yet, I really hope that music showed up in Las Vegas today.
Positives. My demo reels will be ready.
Shooting, Watched some movies.
Just watched William Winckler's Frankenstein Vs the Creature from Blood Cove. This was a very fun watch. Not a super awesome film in any way, but it was really fun to watch. Its shot in HD and desaturized to make it black & white. This is not the best way to do things when wanting a black and white picture. Two options I would have thrown in were
1.) Shoot on Black/White film
2.) Make sure you only use light and dark colors.
* The costumes in my opinion were not chosen well. The thing of it is, if color is not going to be an issue than only pick costumes that contrast well.
Overall it was fun and I do enjoy black & white nudity. It's just a little more classy.
We are shooting the Teaser for Body in a Dumpster on Sunday. Really excited.
Vanishing Point
I watched Vanishing Point for the first time today. I really enjoyed it. I noticed how there is much less dialog in older films. I love it. Everything really focus on scenery, story, and action. Things like the naked biker girl. She had long blonde hair, very 70s. She road on her bike under the desert sun. The scene spoke a lot about simplicity.
The movie starts off in Denver, Co and travels all the way to Cisco, California. The famous 1970 Doge Challanger is one of 3 cars that I have ever wanted. Watching him travel through the deserts of Colorado, Nevada, and California is simply stunning. I was just sucked in.
