That same old damn kitchen

So we’re in final edit mode.  We have some pickup shots for Summer that need to be done, and some minor stuff to do for the intro.  It’s all coming together quite nicely.

Sadly though, according to this guy the world is going to end on Saturday.  And the CDC posted an article about the Zombie apocalypse and emergency preparedness here.  Coincidence?  I think not.  So, with the rapture coming on Saturday, you might want to change your plans, and make sure you’re not driving.  With it being Thursday, you still have time to get your shit together before the biting and screaming starts.  Me.  I’m going to Ben’s house.

I guess it’s a good thing we won’t be doing pickup shots this weekend, because nothing disrupts a shoot like having to get all set up, and then having to yell “CUT!” beating a zombie to death, and then have to get set back up.

This past weekend, we got some minor stuff taken care of, while I edited Winter together, which I’m about 1/3 through, and hoping to make more progress on this coming weekend, while we do a couple of shots for the intro.  Sadly, talking about editing is about as interesting as watching editing.  You know why they call it Post production?  Because it’s about as interesting as talking to a post…  feel free to steal that one.

The Summer pick up shots have to wait for June 11th, because of scheduling.  I’m a little upset about the delay, but I suppose it’s better than having to stand in freezing water again.  The shots are all just little things, but they’re necessary.  The edit of Summer starts off really well, but with the rush to beat the weather, it starts to fall apart by the time we get to the end.  There are some shots that just have to be there and it’s also a chance to fix some things I’m not happy with…  So we’re rounding up most of the cast, and getting ready to do one more filming day.  It will be a full day.  No doubt about that, but at least we’ll have plenty of time to prep.

There’s something that just feels appropriate about ending with the Summer cast.  Don’t ask my why… Maybe it has to do with some of my favorite cast members being there.  Maybe it’s just time for an outdoor shoot where everyone isn’t standing outside in the snow freezing their asses off.

All this is pretty boring stuff, no doubt about it.  The only other spot of news at the moment is I’m thinking of doing a photo shoot, because while I have a bunch of concepts for the poster (six or seven, I’ve lost count), I’m not really happy with any of them.  Still back-end processing that one.  We’ll come up with something…

I sure do hope this whole end of the world thing doesn’t screw up our submitting to all the film festivals.  I was hoping the Mayan’s were right, and we’d have until December 2012 to get this out there.

Alright, I have to go and sharpen knives and count ammo and such, while I hum the Rambo theme.  If the world doesn’t end this Saturday, I’ll be back next week with some actual news.  If the world ends and the internet is still running, I’ll be back with some news.  And if the world ends and there’s no internet, I’ll go spray paint next weeks blog on a wall somewhere…

More to come.  Stay tuned.
