a note to my future self
So I have reviewed the rough cut of Chaointe and its wierd I'm not overwhelmed with technical frustrations of trying to get things loaded or dumped or anything techinical its just wierd. I can focus on the story and the look. I will have to try and get use to not worrying about my dumb PC. Ok so the shots. Many things many much. They look beautiful for one Eric is a master of lighting know doubt and the clarity of the camera is very nice. There were some shots we were unable to get but that happens. Eric told me once the first shot you cut is your favorite and well that deed has been done as of 5 minutes ago. RIP. I had to cut 3 of my shots for Merlot that were my dream shots. We Unfortunatly did not get any good signage shots for the store that we made the movie at so this will be a problem as it was part of the deal I made with the owner. I think I may put the logo for his store big at the end of the credits hopefully that will suffice. I just couldnt film with good concience outside and tripod on the sidewalk. Tripod on sidewalk = permit. So the outside one of the building was to shakey and wont look good I should have brought my fake steadi cam out. Its not a real one but it does help quite a bit with shaking and bouncing. I need to make some more adjustments to really get it working well. Its pretty heavy though kills your back after 3 takes.
Ok so back to the rough cuts.
It was about 40 minutes and I am debating whether or not to go for black and white or color. I did this on my TV I went back and forth and its hard. If it was black and white and bring the contrast up it could have a real sweet effect. I'm rambling lets see what else ohhhhhh. Eric has already finished the trailer and it is very nice its more of a teaser then a trailer. Dennis if you are reading this you sound great.
Ok I'm talking to people who may or may not read this that is the sign its time for bed. I have no more notes to myself. Except to tell my future self to make my favorite shots my least favorite and then I will get to keep them.

First It was not a rough cut just a straight dump from the DV to VHS so I can get a take list.
Second you are a wuss for not taking the sticks to get the shot of the Exterior. ;)
4:00 AM on broadway i find it highly unlikely that you would get any hassels from the cops. Watch Bowfinger.
yes straight dump, midnight makes one hallucinate and not get the vocab straight.
wuss or courteous and thoughtful
bowfinger or obey the law??
I chose my way. ;)
Matthew, I've read it, thank you, now post the teaser to the website! -Dennis
It will be up soon just adding the logo. I would say it should be up no later then tuesday night.
I do believe there is a good chance he is the muffin man, and if not he has doughnuts and ding dongs. The ding dongs are not in plastic but tin foil like God intended!
Actually I got that from Karl Krogstad. He said to lose you best and worst shot. either in comparison with the film as a whole wil be glaring.
