Late Start

So my last day at work was last thursday. i ended up staying at the theatre from 10pm-6am. it was a long night. mostly i was just hanging with the employee's and talking seeing as it was my last day. there was a cleaning crew that we had to stay and supervise. whatever, then halloween was friday night. I had to hang with family sunday night and today i spent 5 hours driving around phoenix trying to get finger printed so i can apply for a job as a substitue teacher. so in short, i'm not as far along as i'd like to be after my first few days of only working on the movie. 

so far i've normalized about half of the movie. well, i've normalized half the dialog. it's going pretty well. haven't found any problems since i changed all those file names. which is good.

I sent a few of the songs i'm thinking of using in MH to Tom in  england to start editing them to the movie. i'm anxiuos to see what he does with them.

i've started going through footage picking shots for the new trailer. i'm excited about some of my new ideas. 

i had to let frankie go as the cartoonist. he just hasn't shown me anything in 4 months and i need something really soon. i posted an add to craigs list. we'll see what comes of it.

i've been working on framing the picture. it's coming along nicely. i'm about 10 min into the film. i've gone shot by shot and i'm surprised how much i'm moving the frame around. i'm also doing some motion and zoom effects to get rid of canted angles and lessen the effect of shakieness some hand held shots have. it's working very nicely.

i finally was able to talk to janaki about the kind of equipment they have. he was fairly rude to me. lied to me and said he never got my phone calls. what a load of crap.

I have yet to hear from kristin again. but i'm calling her every day.
