It’s been a long week as I plow through the chaos of preproduction like a hero. Order changes, vendor changes, crewing up, prepping my own notes… (Computer, compute to the last digit the value of pi.) It comes with the job and I love (to a point). I’m sure it doesn’t compare to the chaos the producers have had to endure. So far we’re locked into who’s giving us what. As of today, the kind folks at Panavision (Woodland Hills) will be hooking us up with a killer camera package. I’m eternally grateful to Albee over at Panavision for all his hard work in the mist of a sea of production projects going through Panavision right now. They’re swamped with work and Albee was still able to get a almost everything we needed. I’ll list the package after Monday when it gets picked up. (I’ve always wanted to fight a desperate battle, against incredible odds.) On the Grip/Electric side, we’re getting the whole package from Hollywood Rentals. I’d like to thank Izzy at HR for getting us a great deal on the entire package. Here too, I’ll wait till next week to divulge the list. (We’re on an express elevator to hell – going down!) Where are we shooting you ask? Well, we’re at Ontario Airport, “The Grove” in Anaheim, some residential streets in Santa Ana, and a real nice home in ??? – I have no idea. (You certainly have a way of cutting through the felgercarb.)
I’m hoping for great things. My mind is torn between this project and the pilot I interviewed for the other day. (Stay on target.) With no news yet, I just have to hunker down and stay focused on next weeks show. I have most of the music video in my head, I just want to commit it to paper in case I loose my mind. (It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.)
A shout-out to those who can identify all the quotes and the theme. (…and you can’t use the internet to search – that would be too easy!)
