Home on The Res

"Home" is a student film being made by a very good friend of mine. He's a native American, Navajo to be specific, and he's making a movie based on the reservation. I've been meaning to help him on the project a lot for the last few weeks but never really got a chance to because of work and short notice. But i was able to head up to the reservation over the last weekend with him and help him shoot the rest of his film. It was a great experience. But, it meant i didn't work on MH as much as i had meant to.

Over the last few days it's been a pain in the ass trying to get everything organized. i had some hick ups with file paths and crashes so i had to end up recreating all the project files for sound mixing. It took me pretty much all day but that's ok. I ended up cutting the film into 3min-4min sections. there's about 25 project files. But with the projects being so much shorter than before there will be no more crashes.

I still have not heard from Frankie, Tom, or the band i was trying to contact. not sure what i'm going to do about it.

I bought a PC to TV converter box today so that i can hook up a CRT (tube TV) to Mike's computer so i can monitor image quality while color correcting. i had fun setting it up. it looks nice.

I'm feeling a bit of a time crunch because Mike's going to be moving out of his house on Dec 1st, which is only 7 weeks away. so i'm scrambling now to get this done. Grady and I set a bunch of deadlines for ourselves to help keep us on track.

I started going through all the old call sheets to start working on what the movie cost in deferrals. it was fun to go through all the old call sheets.
