Sage Advise

I was just given some great advise. When you are setting your wide shots, let the actors explore their characters and space, if they want to project more let them. As you cut to closer shots then reign in the performances a bit. Finally for the close ups is when they should feel it not necessarily show it. this is good advise to remember.

The morning after

Good morning OH its 4 in the afternoon. Well the Party went well it could have been 10 or 60 people you never know and it was around 25 or so. Snow Day Bloody snow Day played what a fun movie. Great Python reference. Robert Boitor had some of the best comedic lines. Just a real treat to watch. Chaointe received mixed reviews from the audience everyone agreed that the production value was much higher then Merlot, the story is just odd. Everyone did a great job coming together to make that happen in such a short period of time.
I met some cool people on Capitol Hill and an evil bunny won the pumpkin pie. A masked cat won the two favorite scary movies of each director. Jessica's was Night of the living Dead and mine was the Ring. and the first place went to an amazing vampiress complete with two bite marks she won a 50$ gift certificate to Blockbuster along with a copy of snow day bloody snowday and chaointe.
I ran out of time fast and couldnt find my costume so I had to grab what I could and I looked like a guy looking for his D&D club.
I'm always happy to see who comes out to support what I'm working on. Thank you so much to those that have been and are very supportive of my crazy adventure. Next Stop Sans Vie Baby!!!!!!
I'm so excited. I will post some pictures from the Chaointe premier as well as a promo for sans vie in the coming weeks.

DC RICHARD ERIC and the Cajun Bird flu

I went to DC and for Jeffs wedding what a great time. I had a lot of fun Congratulations Jeff. I ended up a little ummm ok maybe more then a little tipsy at which point I was introduced to Jenny who is a Mareketing Manager for Sundance. Nothing like being a bit toasted when meeting someone you need to impress. Wait lets get in a time Machine. When I arrived in DC I waited at the airport for about 4.5 hours for my ride. No biggie I like meeting new people I met one guy from LA going on a DC party tour and a Lawyer from the Virgin Islands. At any rate I caught a nasty cold. So lets go back to the party I’m drunk and sick. YES! Impresso meter is just spiking. She was very professional wanted to know all about Merlot and the projects I’m working on and said she would make sure the programmers had a chance to look at it. Overall she was very nice and I don’t think I made to horrible of impression *cough *sneeze “is it just me or is this room spinning”
Richard and Eric Picked up the ball for me and scored a touchdown. I was so sick the last week and they really needed me to have it together to give them direction the little direction I could give they were able to really deliver great results. Eric has done a fantastic job sweetening the final cut of Chaointe and Richard has created a composition that makes me smile involuntarily I love his last mix and I need to call him to tell him this. The party is tomorrow and I have a lot to do to get ready being out for the last couple of days has put me a bit behind but I have most of what I need. Projecter, lots of music and nothing cheesy. I have the movies the prizes. Just need to get my costume.

Wailing and Weeping

Hello, Hello, Hello....
Well the invitations are out and the people are beginning to buzz, this is looking like it will be a party to remember. I have got my costume picked out and I'm sure I will be mistaken for a charecter...but oh no I wont be that charecter I will be someone else entirely, "give us the gate key" I have no gate key"fezik rip his arms off" Oh you mean this gate key.

Chaointe is looking great. Eric has been doing a wonderful job editing the movie and Richard Temple is hard at work getting sketches all set up. The infamous Jessica Baxter wont be there to represent her clan but if you are coming in from her crowd say hi. I do have some news Chaointe is wide screen and because its looking good for it being accepted at a few festivals I'm holding off on putting it on the web. Sorry guys.If you worked on the production and happen to live in lets say the virgin islands I will put it out on a secret squirrel website for you to download. Or I can send you a copy.
I wont have any sans vie updates until after the party and I will be in DC for Jeff's wedding Congratulations Jeff. Two of my best friends were married this year. Although many things are still happening the only thing to worry about is getting your butt over to the Capitol Hill Internet Lounge and Eatary on October 29th at 10PM
