Oh yeah....Blogging

Okie dokie....so I've been a bad little blogger - in that I started a blog, wrote two entries, and then disappeared from blogging completely.  Eh, what are ya gonna do?

I'll tell ya what I'm gonna do, climb right back up on that web-laden binary horse and start blogging again.  Or at least attempt to for a while.  I'm sure that Nick will continue to yell at me if I forget.  He's good for the motivation.

Anyway, things have been about the same since last I blogged.  Still trying to get answers for this computer.  Still no tech guy living amongst the jackets in the closet.  Oh well.

But, on the plus side work is progressing on the finishing of 'Preservation', the little $1,600 (approx.) feature film that has been in the works for just over a year now.  Didn't think it would take this long, but I should have known better.  Somewhere in the back of my mind I did.  

Anyway, after a marathon week of work on it last week, we're almost at picture-lock.  Which is cool.  All (mostly) of the ADR has been recorded (don't know what that is - stands for Automated Dialogue Recording, long process - but basically a way to fix scenes where the sound of the dialogue sucks for whatever reason)....so we spent five days doing that.  Now just have to spend forever and a day editing it into the movie.  We started recording sound effects and foley, and so that's good.  And we may have a music guy lined up to do the score.  Which is tooth-rotting sweet.

I spent a good deal of time working on an effects shot tonight.  There are a few of them in the movie that need to get finished.  Since I'm pretty much the effects guy on the movie as well, it kinda falls to me.  But, they'll get done in time....in time for what?  Well, the premiere my friend, the premiere....which will hopefully be sometime in mid December.  More specific date to follow.  Unless you're in the cast or crew, and then you might get an advanced screening on or very near Halloween.

Anyway, Nick said that I should do some blogs about the work that I'm doing on the movie - maybe with some pictures, etc.  It's not a bad idea.  If I can find the time, or simply REMEMBER that I have a blog, I just might do that.

Till then, catch you around!
