We've hit a brick wall with the movie... if we had a script supervisor on set we could have done away with all this mess and been done by now.
In one of the pivital shots of the movie, there's some jackass standing in the corner of the frame... I'm hoping I can edit around the whole thing. Not only that but there's a continuity error where we see one of the actresses standing, then we cut away, and next she's kneeling on the floor. Which is crap. Oh well, I just hope no one notices that sort of shit.
We have to get this rough cut done by August 9th, which is putting us under the gun. The post-sound guy has blocked off August to work on it, but after that it's no good. So we have to cut 20 more pages in 2 weeks, which isn't so bad, except these next 20 pages are extremely important in the film, so I don't want to half-ass it just to get it done..

At least it's my friend's birthday tonight, which means free booze for yours truely. Plus one night without having to think about the project. It kind of sucks though, his roommate planned the party and called the producer YESTERDAY to see if it was cool to have it at his place. Luckily he was cool with it, so party on.

I need more money. My cell phone just got cancelled because I didn't pay this 300 dollar phone bill, which means I'll have to get a new contract, which means ANOTHER 200 dollar deposit, only after I pay off the existing phone bill. So it'll cost me over $500 to get another goddamn phone. I HATE cingular. mad

Jings that brick wall seems stiff. Can you know edit the jackass out these scene digitally or erm shove vaseline on over her. Shite, I'm not much help.

What does a script supervisor actually do? The script writer writes the thing (boy, I'm on fire today) but a supervisor. I thought having the writer on set, or someone that can write, would negate the need. Perhaps. I'm still not much help. Erses.

Cell phones, great things in principle but the greedy bastards who run it really fuck it up. I only ever use 'Pay as you go' that way I'm in charge. None of this cntract shite. Bollox to it.

And as for the horsecrap. I'll type up what I think happened to it but this neighbourhood is whacked up seven ways and brain fucked harder.

Pressure, arse. What would Joe Hallenbeck do?

thescottness:
A script supervisor is a person who's main job is to make sure that continuity isn't fucked up. They watch for what prop is where during a take, and that it doesn't get moved around from one shot to the next so that in the movie's timeline, everything is sequential. Plus they line the script, which means after each shot, they draw a line through the script that tells the editor what part of the script a certain shot is covering, as well as who's on screen at that time, plus they note any problems with a take. It's really an invaluable tool to editors, but most low-budget productions cut them first because they're thought of as the most expendible person on set.
