Anyway, I readjusted the color on those scenes i had mentioned. I think i found a good balance in the scene where i was concerned about the red vs. blue. I have yet to screen it yet though. Will do that in the next couple of days or so.
Tom is very consistant. He keeps sending things. and 90% of the time they're perfect. He finally got the spy que to a place that i like. so he can move on to the other ques with the same theme. We're actaully pretty close to being completely done with all the orignal music. :)
I dove head first into MySpace. I've saved a lot of links to a lot of pages. I did find a PERFECT country song for the blow job scene. Like a Woman. www.jamieoneal.com. I spoke directly with the record label and they were really helpful. After a week of talks they utlimatly said no to us using Like A Woman, but they are sending me some hip hop stuff that they think would match thematicly with the film. I'll give it a listen, all though i have my doubts. I'm looking for something that Delialah would play. we'll see. back into MySpace.
I spoke with Chase Stain recently. Because we're so close to working on the final mix of MH I wanted to get all my i's dotted and t's crossed. He's totally down and is drafting up a release as we speak. I talked with him about a music video or two, using the MH footage with stuff from concerts or what not. i want to do this for them because i'm so greatful for them letting me use thier music for fee. and it would be good promotional materials for MH :)
So i finally finished laying in all those sound effects. God it was so tedious. Footsteps. so many fricken foot steps. anyway, i spent a day exporting the tracks and burning a disc and such. i'm going to watch it today and take notes on what I really need to record now. Hopefully i can do some recording this week, or even finsih :). that would be awesome.
I'm meeting with this guy Jason that did on set sound for Randy's film. He's going to help with the final mix. I'm excited to learn some things. it can be a real frustrating process.
So after lots of research I found that what i was doing with photoshop for the credits was the best way to go after all, and that the problems i was having were not because of the method, but more because of some technical settings in FCP...i think. So i'm almost done with the credits in Photoshop. As done as i can be until we lock the film. You never know when someone will get on board and i'll have to add them. so yeah.
I finished going through all my old paperwork for the movie. took my like 2 hours. but it was fun. I threw a lot of old stuff away. i'd say like at least 5 reams worth of paperwork.... It was old stuff that i didn't need though. like copies of the script, Day out of Days, etc. lots of copies of things. i made alot of copies.
johnny has been working on the posters. he sends me an email every once and a while. i'm glad that's moving forward again.
I decided the other day to start importing old footage from the movie to help smooth over some area's that need room tone that i can't generate. like tunnels scenes and stuff. and wouldn't you know it? but the camera i borrowed from my bro in law wont read my tapes from teh DVX. it's a panasonic soccer mom cam. even though it's panasonic it wont read the tapes. sorry. correct that. it will read the tapes. it wont read the time code on the tapes. So i can watch and listen to the footage on the computer and on the monitor on the camera, but i can't import it. Son of a bitch. so i emailed randy to see if i could use his camera and his final cut to import. he said yes. I'm going to try to do that friday.
At one point i do intend to go back through the old call sheets and blog about each day of production. i have a feeling all i'll have to do is look at the call sheet, and maybe some of the shot lists and footage and it'll all come rushing back.
