Synching Sucks

So my apologies for not posting for a week. here's what's been going on.

Picture:
Effects
I never posted to Craig's list cause i got a response from the notice i sent out to the AFA. I'm probably going to be working with an old friend on the effects stuff. Antonio Chang. I'll have to email him later tonight to give him more details of what I'll need.

Color
Dan has the footage and should have be working on it as we speak.

Credits
i've started working on the credits. At least designing the lay out and stuff in photo shop. i'll have to go through all my old paperwork to lock it in when i'm done. it's good though cause it gives me something to do when i can't be in the lab or do anything else.

ADR
Kristin couldn't come in this weekend :( . Adam came but Ben was like 3 hours late and we only had 10 minutes to get the Double Teaming is gay dialog. We got it, but it was a close one. All the stuff i wanted them to do together had to be split up. the facility let Jamie McKeel and us come in on Sunday so i shortened her time to an hour and brought Ben in for the other hour. Adam had to keep re arranging his schedule cause of Ben being late. Thanks Adam. Also, Jamie McKeel was late on sunday so i switched the hours around and called Ben to see if he could come in early. he did. thanks Ben. We almost had the cops called on us...again. we did the ADR with jamie where she had to scream like she was being kidnapped. i can't wait to be done with this. i only have 3 actors left. Jamie Isreal and Ali Steltzer, who say they're coming on April 26th. after i confirm with them i'll reserve the space. then it's just Kristin. She emailed me saying she was super busy. not sure what to do next in regards to her. we'll see.

Mixing
syncing is taking FOREVER we only have 4 actors done right now and we've been working in there, both me and Grady, for almost 35 hours this week. i have a sneaking suspicion we wont finish syncing until the end of the semester. god i hope not.

Music
Danielle emailed me back. IFP will be no help for music. Also, the distribution company said out right distribution rights are not at set rates and highly depend on the situation. so it looks like we're going to need to get to the artists to get the music we wont.

Website
Still no website cause still no art.

Trailer
Haven't heard anything.

Posters
i talked to johnny on Wednesday of last week. he sent me some stuff and i had more notes for him but i was exhausted so i emailed him the notes on Thursday. he said he would have a lot done for me by the end of the day and also that he could have everything done by this Tuesday. he had a double shift this weekend so i didn't bug him. i just thought i'd let him be. i feel sometimes like he thinks my notes are saying that he's not doing a good job when really my notes are to make the good job he's doing better. even if i say that to him i'm not sure if he believes it. i'm kinda at a lose about what to do. Also, i think he has a hard time grasping the idea of a work timeline. i mean that when he tells me he'll have stuff done, i don't think he's lying, i think he really thinks he'll have it done, and doesn't realize exactly how long it will take him to do stuff. he said he'll have stuff for me tonight. i know, we'll see.

Misc Marketing
I submitted to IMDb. we'll probably get rejected. but what the hell. I also forgot to submit the info with amanda melby and john schile attached. oh well, if we get on i'll add them, if we don't i'll include them in the next one.

Misc in General
the phoenix film festival was this weekend. I had to work there on friday night as one of my responsibilities as a member of the ifp advisory council. Also, i had to go to my brother in laws on saturday for his birthday party, and then sunday i decided to take the day off after ADR and go back to the festival instead of working on syncing. so that's what's going on.
