A feature for Save My Soul

We've got a happy-ready-to-be-given-to-producers-draft of Smile of April... and it's 120 pages.

Decided to write a feature about Save My Soul .... we're creating the "mythology" of the story first... and then we'll dig into it to put together a nice plot... The story would revolve around Terra... who might not be a punk this time... but who for sure, will be a very special angel... More to come!

We gave the picture lock of Planet 6 to Rory today so he can start working on the music.... and Monday we'll go and see Adam to get a trailer and a picture lock on Save My Soul. I wonder if it will be done before we leave for France...

Vancouver water is polluted.... and you'd think they'd be ready for some rain.... BAH.

Save My soul ... we're getting there

We went to see Adam yesterday and worked on Save My Soul for about 6 hours... we did three scenes... and they're the smallest ones lol... It's looking really good. It's funny, smooth and the light looks amazing. We're meeting again next week and are aiming at a picture lock... after that we'll just have to work on sound and music and yeaaaaah DONE. We'll have a trailer cut together to put on the website too. Planet 6 will be done probably at the same time.

Make me want to learn how to edit... anyone wants to donate a MAC?

Next week I think we'll decide if we shoot "In his head" and HOW we shoot it ... One shot or not one shot, that's the question. And damn UBCP....

anyway... discovered the show Gilmore Girls... I though it would be some kind of cheesy show... and I ended up watching season 1 (22ep) in three days, in other words, I'm totally addicted and I have 7 seasons to catch up with. The writing and the characters are so brillant I wish I was english it would give me more chances to write with that quality of dialogues.

Off to send "we're so screwed" to some festivals all around the world.

and happy we are...

he he... I loved it.

Actually Adam didn't get the notes we gave him with the best takes and better performances so there are some stuff that still need to be changed but it looks really good. Torri and Tristin were so good that we don't know what to choose... it's like, you'd need to split the screen in two so you can see both of them all the time. We also realized that some scenes have like 10 different shots... we went totally crazy with our two cameras!
... But we had some ideas for the cut as we were watching it,for the music too, he he. I can't wait to see the final product.

Dave has a a first cut of Planet 6 ... geez they're fast!

First Cut

We're going to see the first rough cut of "Save My soul" in a couple of hours... I feel exactly the same that for "We're so screwed" super excited and super scared at the same time. I WANT to LOVE IT... I've seen bad editing before and OUCH... thank god I trust Adam... We'll tell you when we get back home how it was!

Went to Wendy. D 's studio yesterday to prep for Saturday, it looks awesome. Plain white. Very unreal... he he... Saturday is only one scene, one page... it's gonna go so fast. I don't want it to go fast. Not with SJR as an actress... I think that's why we rewrote this specific story in Smile of April... Cause we want to direct her more. Hopefully she'll say yes. I can't wait to start building a team for this feature... and I can't wait to ask some actors to be in it. It will all happen when we get back from France (or From France... who knows we might be bored to death)

anyway.... be right back after seeing the first cut!
