Payton's First Frame
She liked the sign. I persuaded her to broaden the study of the sign. She picked the angle. I framed it up on the tripod and she pushed the button. Then get this, she asks me to look at it after she took it.

Cigarette Pack Design Poll
OK, so here are the 3 packs of generic cigarettes I've created for my movie. The design is very basic, because unlike "Red Apples" or "Nails" they are not a part of the story. They are just there to keep us from licensing issues. BUT since they have to be printed and used I'm taking a poll. Which pack design do you like the most. Whichever is picked we will use in the upcoming, Bad Ass Killers.
There's the original.
There's the original.
The remake of the original.
And the Berry Blend.
Cheers.
Desperate for Crew for BAK film
This was my post this morning on Craigslist trying to get local help for the film we're doing. We've run out of money for lodging so now I'm panhandling crew members. Ah, independent filmmaking at it's finest, (or worst for some.)

Disgruntled Work
With the Atlanta job at least a month, (and a foreclosure) away I've turned my attentions back to finishing my obligations to Ennix and his film, BAD ASS KILLERS. The worst part of the Pre Production job is making the call sheets and doing the paper work needed to stay on time and organized. I now realize that we're two weeks out from the shoot and all the necessary elements like the Schedule are due at the office so it will be another late nighter of numbers, dates, and scene headings. Followed by design tweaks for the various props I decided to take on myself like an idiot.
My sweet daughter always says she's gonna' help me out but never quite makes it. I don't blame her. I have a hard time getting through this pencil work myself. Sweet dreams princess.
Last night, making fake cop ideas for Mark's cop role in the film. Check his beard. It's awesome. Watching Braveheart and keeping up with my tweeting buddies all at the same time. That's the life.

An 8mm Feel
With my still camera in one hand and my old DV cam in the other I shot for 4 days choosing to work instead of play this year. I'm glad I did. I took a chance by shooting everything over exposed and over saturated so I could treat it in post to look like I shot everything on an old 8mm. The effect was there but not completely perfected due to time, but I'm proud of what I got. I shot everything shaky and dirty to get that "home video" /raw effect as well. The clip is long but there were 4 hours to work with. My favorite section, (like my still photographs,) is the walk on the beach with my son. It was just such a cool and intimate moment between father and son. Other than that, I'll stop rambling. Enjoy.Thanks Christopher, Michael, Munaf and Mark for the wonderful track that was my only choice for this cut. **The problem with the effect is I color treated all the clips and added a perfect layer of noise to get that 8mm feel to it, and it looks great on the timeline, but then when I export it for internet, quicktime I guess reorders the fields and it somehow drowns out all the noise I added. Any editor friends out there have any idea how I can prevent that?
