More Editing

Its also worth mentioning the rough cut of Kahlua and Coffee is in the works. I'm getting 2 pickup shots tomorrow after work, and then there wont be any excuses to not finish it. Here are a few of the screenshots. God bless Chris and his DVX for allowing me to capture such rich colors for the piece.

Back to Editing

I recently started work on the third episode of Friends of a Thing Called Water (Alyssa's character Selma's introduction) after having been away for a few weeks. I'm excited its the best of the first three episodes. I'm also excited though to be moving on to the fourth and fifth episodes.

This first batch has been very funny and fairly sucessfully initially on Youtube but i can see why their views have sort of stalled out. The first episodes are all about getting to know the characters, the good stuff comes once this is established.
I uploaded the tape we shot episode five on and i was amazed at what we had captured that day. It was the first episode involving the entire cult cast of five and the result is a batch of material i'm hesitant to cut much out of at all. I know i'll need to and I will but it'll be tough.
I'm excited for the future of this little side project youtube series. I feel the best is yet to come. Here are a few screenshots from episode five, in which during a last supper themed lunch, Phil is laughed at for his condition and the spastic faces he makes. Jeremy (J) begins to entice Selma by giving her a ride on the lawnmower, and Allen demonstrates the rituals of the group.

Letter From My Cousin Kathy

Click on each image to enlarge it. This was a letter from my cousin Kathy. She's into the whole wine scene and occasionally meets some distinguished individuals from the film world. The joke about making a living in the arts community is to give up and become a lawyer. Sometimes it feels like the kid from A Christmas Story when people keep telling him he'll shoot his eye out.


I will never be a lawyer.
