I spilled coffee all down my right side. The coffee wasn’t hot (thank god) but it did leave brown stains on my pants and shirt. I’m glad I drink my coffee black… I still smell horrible though. My boss buys this coffee called Jamaican Blue because he’s a penny pincher…Yeah it pretty raunchy, but it’s not too bad.
Anyway, I’ve got three different roofing companies looking at my house. I’m trying to decide which one is gonna screw me over for less money. They all seem like decent people but business is tough these days…But I can understand their situation… All self-employed individuals are quaking because of our unstable economy. (Thanks George). My situation looks fairly optimistic.. Just shot a short film over the weekend. Production was fun and everyone had a great time. BUT!!!! Now it’s time to edit. Editing is usually my favorite thing to do. The reason it sucks this time is because I don’t have all the footage I need to complete the film. My good friend Allen directed this particular project, so I blame him. I’m not too worried though. I’ll find some half-ass transition point to substitute for a good one. I’ll composite some crazy shit in After effects to make up for the lack of usable footage. Speaking of unusable footage… I had a few new crewmembers join the Sub_American team for this last project. They were awesome individuals that brought creative ideas and energy to the set. However,…. almost all the footage has boom mic in the frame. I don’t blame the operator, I blame my camera… apparently the actual frame is larger than what the LCD shows. So, literally 85% of the shots have the dipping shotgun mic. But that’s cool.. I’ll fix it with some compositing and digitally remove the mic. You see where I’m going with this???? I have to fix EVERYTHING in post. As if that wasn’t bad enough, I have 8 days to submit this film for a festival in JUNE… yeah, I’m fucked, but I’m happy
