HAHAAAA!!!



Barry here, giving an update from the editing aspect of the movie. I just finally finished one of the most tedious parts of the movie. The scene involves a crime scene investigation, which is an integral part of our story, and it is a funny one. The only problem is, it was so hard to put together smoothly due to certain factors out of our control (bad location audio, and certain consistency flubs), but all in all it came out pretty good all things considered. I dont know why it was such a pain in the ass, but something about it took me forever to finish it.





I've gone back over some older scenes that are finished and color corrected, and audio corrected them to make em look and sound premium. I am not in the midst of piecing together two more finished scenes, then I have to go back and voice over and put music to a TV watching part in the movie. All in all things are finally back on track and going well.

I sent Egan a ton of screen caps (which you can also see on the myspace page), so he can work on putting them on the website. I have seen the layout and have given my input and agreed on the less is more aspect for the site, and from what I have seen, I am pretty happy about it.

I know we have said this a million times before, but we really are closer and closer to finishing this movie with each passing day. Although the process has been tedious, time consuming and at times very frustrating, it has all been worth it. One motivating factor for me personally at the moment is the school film festival. Last year we won for best trailer with the short teaser, and theres nothing more that I would like, than to have the movie finished for this years and try to win more shit.

I believe the deadline for submissions is sometime in late march/early april, so theres a goal we can TRY to reach. Doesnt mean it is going to happen, because as I've learned from shooting this thing, obstacles do appear, and theres nothing you can do about it. It'd be fantastic to be able to submit it and see what happens, but if it doesn't, at least its a motivational factor to kick ass on this bitch the next two months.

More soon.
