Another night of 3 am sound work... ugh.
Plus when I got home my friend was passed out on the couch, which has now become my bed, so I had to sleep on the floor next to his dog. mad

The only good thing was I had a dream in which I turned in to a demon and killed a bunch of people. Then I had...

frown I'm sick.... and sleepy.
Was up 'till 3 working on the sound for the flick. Should be done tonight though. Hopefully everything will be done for the Dec. 6th deadline. If not we'll just throw together what we got and submit that.

5 days off were pretty cool. Much much drinking involved. biggrin Celebrated t-day with my friends and spent the afternoon playing Simpsons monopoly.

I feel good today. I just got an e-mail from my best friend who moved to Australia, yesterday. Apparently he got married to a girl he met on the internet. He says he'll send me an invitation...

Dude, as a film maker you NEED to check out American Movie. Put somebody on good terms with those Blockbuster in an armlock, march them in and rent the thing. It was on as a late night film earlier in the year and I woke up the house because it was so funny. It's abjectly brilliant I declare.

The solution for Xmas presents - digital materialism. It works thus:

1. Download and install eMule.
2. Download scad loads of stuff - movies, music, comics, nudie stuff, the works.
3. Burn said scad loads onto a CD or DVD.
4. Disguise the present well.
5. Present of Xmas Day.
6. Prepare to be castigated if they don't like the nudie stuff.
7. Prepare to castigate if they don't like the presents.
8. Nip to 7-11 or whatever your equivelant to Bolts (or scrotes as I call it) and buy drink.
9. Enjoy the digital materialism.
10. Start planning for next Xmas.

Easy f'n peasy, I declare.

Now is the above insanity or brilliance, hmmmmm? biggrin biggrin

ok... crisis averted.
My firewire drive is acting up, but I think I can limp along until the end of this thing. It probably has something to do with the fact that it's been running constantly for a month or so.

I'm so tired, it seems like everyday I have less and less time to just chill out, play some videogames, drink a little, and...

ARGH! So close, yet so far. My computer is starting to go all freaky on me, and with the cut on there we'll be screwed if something goes terribly wrong. It's probably nothing, but still kinda' uncomforting.

I've been looking in to moving to Vancouver. It sounds like a pretty cool place, or Toronto. They both have pretty good film industries, and they're a hell...

Two words:

Back! up!

Back everything the hell up now, man. Once these f'n machines start to get freaky the terminality follows uber-quick as I found to my cost recently-ish. F'n technology, who needs it.

I do or I wouldn't be listening to the Superman 2 & 3 soundtracks. And Superman 2 was superior to Superman for two reasons - kick-ass baddies, brilliant ending.

Canada's cheap for a reason I hear. And what other movies have you directed/starred in? Are they online?

You know, I really have no inkling to travel. None. I would like to see a game in all 32 NFL stadiums but that's it.

Back! Up! Quick! biggrin

Everything's up an running now. We're working on a new trailer for the site, this time with a sense of the story in it. The composer is excited to be working on the project now, and the post sound is coming along nicely.

Ever wonder why people like to talk to much to service industry people? I had a customer come in to the clinic...

Couldn't tell you why these people walk up and tell you their history. Once upon a time this old dude actively tried to recruit me for the police. Would have had if my knees weren't fecked. Dang. Abusing power would have been fun.

Rice, one billion Chinese can't be wrong.

The Scottness - now there's a fucking nickname. Thank that girl called Renee.

Rice, yes!

ALRIGHT!

Website is FINALLY DONE!!!!
After months of waiting for that web guy to finish the damn thing it's finally up and ready to be viewed!

Check it out at:

Went to a hooka party last night... it was alright, except too many theatre artsy people there. I got the feeling they thought they were better than me because they all had "degrees" from...

Bitching! Editing done. Website up, a fecking good one as well. Bitching!

Hey, how come on the bios page everyone got a decent blurb but you only got one line? Scandalous. Throw a hissy fit. Although 'Shot and Chopped' is the coolest film credit anyone could get. Bless Robert Rodriguez.

You could get away with using ''Duck, You Sucker" if your lead sold the zinger right in the trailer. James Coburn didn't - thankfully wink Of course the 'Duck, You Sucker' song on the Morricone album is a completly innapropriate title for the piece. What was Leone smoking? And where can I get some? I'd make a facking killing on the smackhead scene. biggrin

What sort of wanker charges $100 for 5 drinks and... wait, what's a hooka party? Is it what I think it is but... actually it probably isn't. Bandits. $70 was too generous.

And I'm feeling you with the university thing. Every friend of mine that's got their degree has come out... damaged. The sort of peopl ethat'd pay your badits $100 plus 25% tip. Eejits!

I'll get that comic strip at the weekend, hopefully. I've got to deal with my friend's computer. He got all this new stuff and tried working with it while drunk. Naturally he wants to pay me to sort it out. But I will get to it.

Promise... kinda

YAHOO!!!
We got the fucking film finished on time!!! biggrin biggrin biggrin
I'M DONE!
Now all I have to do is do some minor color correction and wait for the FAT CHECKS to roll in! biggrin

We're looking in to getting it in to South by Southwest, which I'm just now noticing you can "win a trip" to. So if the...

wow that must be really gratifying to be part of creating something significant like that. I think the thing i regret most about the career path I took was that the opportunities to really create something are severely limited.

Ok.... after 2 all night editing sessions with my normal job in between.... we're pretty close to finishing. All we have to do is color correct and do some minor adjustments to the framing and we'll be in the clear.
We have to get this done by Sunday because the composer needs the finished project to start his work... and he's getting paid WAY more...

Must get DVD set for Xmas. Have tried to refrain from seeing any behind the scenes stuff for Ep.3 or reading spoilers.

Damn, now I'm wondering how nuts I would have gone if I didn't know Chewbacca was going to be in it.

Yoda, Sidious, Samuel L. all had light sabers. Obi-Wan and Anakin is going to knock the world's bollocks off. This cannot suck. Can't wait until MAY!!!!!! Nggghhhh.

This composer needing the finished cut - can't he work off stills and snippets like Marilyn Manson did for Resident Evil or Jonathan Davis did for Queen of the Damned or is he not, as we say, shit-hot? And that website still isn't up... but my complaints mean nothing, neither's mine biggrin

Man, festivals. Reminds me of the time four of us decided we were going to make a film and we scoped locations and tried to blag our way into commercial premisies by rattling off festival after festival - Raindance, Sundance, Ediburgh. Might have worked if the script wasn't four weeks late. Forget who was to blame for that... biggrin

If Hitler were to come back and lead undead Nazis he wouldn't try France. Nope. Israel. He never liked them Jews. So there's hope yet biggrin biggrin

Drink hard, mate. You've earned it.
