10 Months Later

Randy's movie was an awesome experiance. We wraped on the 18th. I would have posted but my Dan flew back for a week from korea so i hung out with him most of the time. And we did a 24 hour film challenge through IFP. It was really fun. Now, back onto full time with MH.

10 months ago i sent out the first emails requesting the cast to send me their availability for a few weeks so we could record ADR. On January 7th, I finally finished all the ADR. That's right. Kristin finally got together with me. It was a little awkward, but productive none the less. And she did a great job. I knew about it a week in advance, even when i posted last, but i didn't want to sayanything cause i didn't want to jinx it. not that i believe in any of that crap, just thought why the hell not. But all the ADR is recorded. Woopie!!!

Over the last week i was able to go to Tapia's for a few days and synch all the Ali and Kristin ADR. I also was able to put in Kristin's Hyperventilating and the Double Teaming is gay argument. It's going to be challenge however, mixing those two bits because the original sound is so different from the newly recorded stuff. I'm going to email this new sound guy i recently met about some effects stuff.

Grady quit the movie. Well, more like Grady quit me. He was working on Randy' movie with me and one night my wife started yelling at him and he walked out. He wouldn't talk with her at all. He feels that he never does anythign wrong and so he doesn't have to listen to anybody. Which is too bad. I think he's very self destructive. Well, he didn't come to the set of Randy's movie anymore and he hasn't emailed or called me about anything so i guess he's done. Too bad. i'm thankful for everything he did do on the project however, and i will miss his help from here on out.

I still have some foley recording to do. I'm going to be using my bro -in law's camera with a microphone hooked up to it. Kinda ghetto but should do the trick. I'm going to try to start that by the end of this week.

Tom as been sending me stuff every weekend since he left. It's awesome. Only one theme hasn't worked so far (the spy theme for the urban explorers) but the rest has been great. I think it's safe to say that almost half the music is done. I'm going to have to start seriusly looking into getting the rights to the christina aguliara and faith hill songs though. Not sure when i'll dive into that but it needs to be soon.

I got all the stuff to Antonio that he needed. He finished everything and I got it from him last week. THE SPECIAL EFFECTS ARE DONE!!!! haha! things are really starting to wrap up. About time huh?

I emailed Johnny, the old cartoonist guy. I was looking through some old files and found his old toons and they were just great for the movie. And i haven't been able to find anyone that cared as much as he did or did as good a job as he did so i emailed him asking him forgivness for me basicly firing him. He said no forgivness needed and that he was very happy to be involved again. we're going to be getting together this week but i told him that i'm just going to let him do what ever it is he wants in terms of a time line for right now. My bigest priority is finishing the movie. I'm not going to try and jugle everything like i did last spring and summer.

That's about it. Things are looking up!
