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.
Got Camera
Well got my camera this past Saturday. I spent most of Sunday shooting random stock footage to use on a later date. I spent some time with Miss Melea and had ice cream with her at Cold Stone. We discussed some ideas for a practice movie I wanted to do before I shot my film "Body in a Dumpster". It's like a gay romance hetero twist. I guess.
After that, I went over to Ben's where we journeyed into a sewer and shot random footage there. Then we when to Dancer's Ranch drank a beer, waited for the stripper to show some boobs and we left immediately after. We discovered that you can get in free if you get there right at 7pm. Its a litte creepy though looking at all the old guys sitting in there car waiting for the place to open. I learned that Sundays does not have the best selection but it is not like I really enjoy strip clubs anyways. They did break my $10 bill into a bunch of ones so I could get some change for laundry.
One more day of grinding
We woke up around 830 this morning. I crashed on their floor while watching The Midnight Skater. Tony is a big of a horror freak as I am. He even collects all the old Troma distro stuff. When we woke up we listened to the rough mixed tracks the night before. All we have to do today is record the vocals. So I am hoping we can get this done as soon as possible. I never sleep well when I am not in my own bed.
They took me to breakfast this morning at this place Idaho Springs. We had these awsome breakfast burritos with gravy smothered all over them. Tony told me that it was fat kid food.
