Avatar - going back for seconds. Plus, what's this bond thing all about anyway?


AVATAR EXTRAVAGANZA!!

Put in another long day editing the new feature.
Today.. another 22 scenes (aprox 12.5 minutes) have been rough cut. This brings the total assembly cut up to 76 minutes with 39 scenes left to go.

I'm really looking forward to the day when enough is done that we can do a proper announcement about this film. Post-production is always a long, tedious process - but this one has been filled with all kinds of challenges and distractions.
With luck, I can buckle down and knock out the remaining scenes sooner rather than later.



A few of us were talking earlier this year about how - even though we were working hard on the editing of the new feature, we hadn't released any shorts or skits in some time. We have had a handful of scripts sitting around for a while, and we're all getting a little bit ansy and wanting to film something. So we thought we should pick a weekend, bring some of our fragmented team back in town from far off lands - and shoot something fun.
On January 1, 2010 - we're going to set out to film as many comedy shorts as we can get complete in 48 hours. We have 5 scripts ready to go, and anticipate completing 3-4 of them.
We are inviting our friends to come out and screw around with us if you are in the Atlanta area. We don't know exactly what we need yet - as we are still picking scripts - but if you want to come hang out and be around ... maybe you'll get a chance to act, hold a microphone, or just get someone coffee/beer...
Call our office at 818-308-5550, and leave a message if you are interested!

So yesterday evening I was visited by the one... the only JVS, and we set out to catch up on a little editing - seeing as I've recently lagged a bit behind. I am happy to say that 10 hours and a couple of bourbons later, we had completed a pretty major sequence, and now... today we have officially 1 hour of assembled movie.
Thats kinda rad.
Now, when I say, assembled... I mean that in the most minimal way possible of course. The transitions are rough, the image qualities are raw, the audio has not even been touched. But ... its a step in the process.
So... here is to having an hour of movie, and being a little closer today than yesterday.

This week: Andrew's love letter to Tarantino's love letter to the movies, Inglourious Basterds. Plus, a summer movie roundup, Paul Blart, and a look at the nerd rage surrounding the Avatar trailer.
