The year was 1892, it was a leap year…Ellis Island started welcoming immigrants, the rules of basketball are published, a cholera outbreak occurs in Hamburg Germany, the Dalton Gang are shot by townspeople in Kansas and Lizzie Borden’s parents are found murdered at home in River Falls Massachusetts.


Then, there was The DARE...

1/21/2009
This idea came to me in a dream. The script is just about finished and is coming in at 45 pages, shouldn't be a problem keeping the program length to 6 minutes, maybe even a little shorter. My biggest hurdle was character development, I didn't want to go too deep and complicate the story, but I have to let the viewer feel the lead role. Next up will be talent. This one will take a very special talent, one that can be expressive without being over the top, emotional but in a stoic manner. Lookout Craigslist...

1/23/2009
I think I might have found my lead actor! Once again Craigslist has come throught for me. I'll be meeting with him (Harry) this weekend at a local Starbuck's. There's a lot you can tell about a person by the kind of coffee he orders. I'm hoping for a Cafe Mocha with an extra shot kind of guy for this role...and will be totally put-off if he orders any kind of Latte. I little mundane conversation and a few chocolate covered coffee beans and I'll be able to tell if he can handle this part. The trouble will be trying to pay attention, as my mind will keep drifting back to the "Miss Laid" auditions, which I am continuing to have even though the part was cast month's ago...it's just hard to give a good thing up!

Next on my list for this one are the props, there are a few items that will be hard to find, but needed to make this one all that it can be.

Script still needs a few tweaks and everytime I edit something, I endup writing 3 more pages. I'll get it there soon. I've also looked back on the comments recieved from past entries and am trying to apply them here.

This film is an in-depth look into the mind of the greatest illusionist to date...Harry Houdini. Through the use of the bobble-head, I am exploring the psyche of this master magician as he attempted, for the first time ever, to escape from a straightjacket in under one minute.

It is a little known fact that, in 1892, he had actually accepted a bet from a colleague and for the first time in his life failed. We watch time pass and see him struggle to escape. Through it all Harry never loses his composure, even as sweat beads-up from his intense effort to dislocate his shoulder joint and achieve success. Harry is determined, yet even in failure, he never loses his composure.

This short film represents the sheer will of mankind, the intestinal fortitude we all have to succeed, and the self-respect to hold our heads high and know that we gave it our all, even in the face of failure (loss).

It was just a really funny minute of your life.

Yeah, clears up a lot of questions.

[Neal Buconjic]

The script is just about finished and is coming in at 45 pages, shouldn't be a problem keeping the program length to 6 minutes, maybe even a little shorter.

Joe,

Is this a typo? 45 pages!!??

You're a machine.

[ZazaCast]

Neal, it just started flowing, so I ran with it... a couple of rounds of editing and I'm there.

[ZazaCast]

Updates in second post....

[ZazaCast]

OMG... this actor is great! He's WAY better then I ever thought he'd be. We just had a rehearsal and frankly, I was blown away! I'm thinking this is going to be good one...and he's not costing a penny (got to love that). If everything goes as planned, we should be shooting this weekend.

[Rodney V. Smith]

Excellent news on the actor. It's always such a rush when you find a really good one who brings the story to life. When are you posting headshots?

[ZazaCast]

When are you posting headshots?

That's kind of a personal question isn't it? :huh:
(those are from the other movie)


:):):)

[Richard J. Johnson]

Puck's mind is in the gutter.:) Great news about finding a good actor. They are hard to come by.

[Rodney V. Smith]

my mind is in the right place. it's zaza that you oughta be raising an eyebrow at.

[Richard J. Johnson]

my mind is in the right place. it's zaza that you oughta be raising an eyebrow at.
:huh:

[ZazaCast]

...either way... this guy is good, he's steady as a rock!

[Rodney V. Smith]

hey Zaza,how goes it?

[ZazaCast]

Editing and playing with FCP 'Color' for the first time....trying to figure it out.
Interesting program.

[Rodney V. Smith]

Interesting good or interesting bad? I'm slowly being broken down and for the first time am seriously considering a Mac

[ZazaCast]

Interesting good. It took me a few to figure out how it works...and there's a LOT to it. I know I'm just scratching the surface. I used Premiere for years until switching to Vegas...then I picked-up a Mac G5 & all kinds of software to check it out. (I also need Mac's for my 'real' business, so it was a write off for me)

I don't think there's anything you can do on the Mac that you can't do on a PC anymore. The only real difference is the Mac is much more expensive! (Please, no comments, I use both platforms on a daily basis and respect them both equally...it's just a fact.)

[IMNUMBERZERO]

go with a mac! (personal opinion)

[ZazaCast]

Again... lets not turn this into a Mac vs. PC thing.

...and I think we've found the one going around bumping ratings down!

[Rodney V. Smith]

only reason i'm considering a mac is for better workflow with other editors for color correction, etc. the more people I bring into the post-production end of it, the more complicated it gets with so many people clueless about just how advanced Premiere CS4 has become. I can now import FCP workflows into CS4, but not the other way around. tends to be a little frustrating when all you want is a little color correction.

I need to find myself a Mocha genius...

So who's the gullty party bumping the ratings down regardless of the actual quality of the thread?

[ZazaCast]

go with a mac! (personal opinion)

I think this is the wild bumper...IMHO.

[Rodney V. Smith]

could be... every thread he's visited, seems to go down in score after he leaves... after all he is number zero...

What's the word - hows it comin Zaza?

Coming along... No rush since I've posponed "Miss Laid" for a couple months. I should be uploading over the weekend. Seems a bunch of entries are dropping like flies!

[Zak Forsman]

okay, that trailer was frightening. I got completely overwhelmed and confused and had to stop it for a moment to regain my composure. i think i'll watch yours first.

Welcome to MY world! :beer:

...but like a fine dessert, it's most appreciated at the end of a meal.

[Rodney V. Smith]

Zaza what IS this movie about??? The suspense is killing me here and your trailer doesn't give anything else away! Give us one hint since you;re not giving us boobs...

[ZazaCast]

You'll get your boobs... you just have to wait a bit! No hints for you.:)

[Rodney V. Smith]

damn you zaza. damn you.

O.K., O.K. ... so here's a Booby shot for Puck! Love you man.:beer:

Haha what are you thinking?

[Zak Forsman]

i thought mark harris dropped out.

[ZazaCast]

i thought mark harris dropped out.

LMAO! That's what I thought too... but I got him for a cameo...and man can he wear a fig or what?

:)

[Chris Messineo]

This was funny.

I loved the perspiration on the face and the music was perfect.

You should do a whole series of mini historical reenactments using bobble-heads. :)

[Richard J. Johnson]

LMAO!! that was funny.

[Maximus]

I was expecting him to turn into a werewolf.:)

[Blaine]

I am still smiling as I write this. Zaza, you've arrived. I loved it.

You have made great strides since your first fest (I thought it was almost unwatchable). You were still trying to work things out last time (better but still not that good) but now, I think you've got it.

Very well done. Now, I actually going to look forward to seeing what you come up with next.

[Rodney V. Smith]

Zaza, you're fucking insane. Halfway through I started to LAUGH MY ASS OFF! Great use of sweat and irony. You built enough tension and then BOOM!

If anybody hasn't seen this film, go and do so RIGHT NOW!

[MrKilloran]

Can I just start off and say that I loved what you did with the audio on the leader - felt like I was in a cheesy movie theater in the 80's waiting for the announcer to come on "and now your feature presentation."

Now that that is over....

:huh:WHAT DID I JUST WATCH?!

Hahaha, Zaza, what exactly is going through your head?
It's simple, tense - it just keeps building and building and building and then just ends, on the perfect note. Good show sir, you silly bastard, looking forward to the next one. :beer:

Wah...wah...wah...waaaaah

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

This was hilarious! It was actually a relief from some of the more serious films in this Fest. :)
The music seemed to really work as well.

I also enjoyed the sweating and the payoff at the end. It actually came off as an old film for various reasons.

Too funny! Nice job.

MAH

[Lawsuit_Boy]

Dang, sounds like I really need to get to this one! It's next in my queue. :)

[lordambrai]

Poor Houdini. Next to The Prestige, this is one of my favorite magician movies... of the plastic variety...

[alex whitmer]

ZaZa never fails to deliver! Great stuff.



I can just see this guy in a thrift shop.


INT. THRIFT SHOP - WHENEVER

Wall to wall god knows what. ZaZa, ageless and timeless, makes his way through the aisles. His skilled eyes scan every bad idea that ever made money.

Then, he sees it. Tucked in amongst headless Barbies and Dan Quayle autographed schlock, sits a Houdini Bobble head.

ZaZa takes it up, inspects its quality.

Satisfied ...

ZAZA
I can film this!

Security closes in.

Thanks Chris & great idea. Anyone who has a historical bobble-head, please contact me!


LMAO!! that was funny.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.


I was expecting him to turn into a werewolf.:)

I was actually going to try to do that, but couldn't find a bobble-wolf. Thanks for watching.


I am still smiling as I write this. Zaza, you've arrived. I loved it.


Blaine, this means a lot to me! Thanks for watching & commenting.


Zaza, you're poo pooing insane. Halfway through I started to LAUGH MY ASS OFF! Great use of sweat and irony. You built enough tension and then BOOM!

Puck...what can I say? YOU the man! I'm glad you liked it. Can't wait to watch your films.

Thanks Alex & wow, it's like you were there in the store... how did you know?

[Lawsuit_Boy]

ZaZa,

You had me hooked from the musical ditty during the leader. :thumbsup:

That was just plain awesome. I liked how you demonstrated the impending time limit with the clouds zipping past the moon. It set the atmosphere and really put the pressure on ole Houdini.

As others said, the sweat was a great touch, and a bobblehead...brilliant!

This seems like a very entertaining side project and I'm glad you entered it. The single line at the end was such a comedic kick between the legs for Houdini.

For what it is, this is very entertaining. :thumbsup:

[Lawsuit_Boy]

[Robbie Comeau]

Ehhh...Don't know what to say.

I like the filming and the grade? haha.

I guess it was funny. Good sweat and head shaking, that was an eat effect. The music really worked to.

It's good to have a laugh here and there!

Robbie

[ZazaCast]

Thanks Robbie... it is good to laugh now & again!

[Norm Sanders]

Lol, cute & original!

Though it got a tad repetitious, I enjoyed the sweat build up & head shake as he struggled to break free of his confines. :)

[jasonthewho]

Haha, that is not at all what I expected from this film.

Cute film, as is that Harry Houdini bobblehead.

The focus was very sharp, and there were some nice images.

Loved how the film lasted the proper amount of time for the story.

The sweat was cool too.

Simple, but well done.

[warau]

I liked your character development, no cardboard characterizations here! Although the supporting actor seemed to have his head in the clouds...

Hilarious! I loved it!

[alex whitmer]

Second rounds ...

Still dang funny. And way to keep the cast manageable and low maintenance.

Hmm, for my next film, I wonder if Paris Hilton has a bobble head? Um yeah, like 24/7.


You always bring a light-hearted and unique look to your film.

Very nice.

aw

[Nick_Lee]

What did I just watch? HAHA are you mocking us?

Is my computer exploding or is it really just the moon and the bobblehead the entire time? haha. Audacious move either way man.

[SMarston]

okay so i laughed through the whole thing, i was seriously thinking that something was going to happen to near the end that would explain better the bobblehead...very very simple

never turn down the oppurtunity to be creative they always say...

I loved it.

I'm angry at myself for how high of a rating I gave this film. But I couldn't stop laughing. Nice.

Thanks Armisiano! Figures I couldn't get you to watch either of the two films I entered in TwilightFest...but you did get to this one (my kind of luck).

What you have to remember is most illusions are all about the build-up, the patter...the thread is part of the whole concept...a prequel if you will.

Oh... and I've added your quote to my signature...thanks again!
Cheers.:beer:

[Rodney V. Smith]

I found that once you got the first laugh out... you couldn't stop! Then the sweat, and more laughter! It was the first laugh that was the hardest to get out though, cuz at that moment you;re going: "What the--"

I loved that, I guess I'm glad there aren't sixty of these to watch but I'll gladly take this one.

Ya know, you CAN use the "I loved it" quote, as you have, but I sorta hoped you would've used "You are officially crowned LossFest's biggest jackass". Or maybe just the "LossFest's biggest jackass".

I loved the build up, thread and film. It reminded me of a Tyson fight: all the smack talkin', promotion, ticket and PPV sales, bets ...

... and then Iron Mike ends the fight in under 15 seconds.

It was kinda like that.

thanks for the pick-me-up. and just past the halfway point, too.

Finally worked! Very funny work here :) Love how he's credited at the end as well, made me laugh yet again. Great shot of the moon and clouds!

[Brian Parker]

Beautiful, timeless biopic film. This is one of those sweeping masterpieces that...ok, it was just really funny. Great job ZaZa. I can't believe it but you actually got a performance out of Houdini. He was so intense. Nice. Awesome film. Oh, and great retro bumper music at the beginnig. Thanks for this one!

[ZazaCast]

As we come to the end of the first round of the fest.... I'd just like to thank everyone who took the time to view & comment on my film. It is most appreciated!

Cheers to all. :beer:

[Will Clegg]

The levity is appreciated, especially among the doom and gloom that I have been watching for the last couple of days. Gracias.

[Ian-T]

Ha ha...loved the suspense...the sweat...the tension. It made me laugh....cry...and pissed off all at once. I now need psychotherapy.

[Spear670]

Haha yeah this was a roller coaster of emotions to say the least. Good job keeping it light and simple. Fun stuff.

[ZazaCast]

It made me laugh....cry...and pissed off all at once. I now need psychotherapy.

BEST review...EVER! Thank you. LOL! :thumbup:

[ZazaCast]

...as a side note, I originally cast DVXuser Tom Marshall as the lead..but due to scheduling conflicts and a nasty neck injury, he was unable to make the shoot.

[Gord.T]

And you know what? I think Tom could have put a really nice spin on it. We'll never know now I guess.

I should have mentioned before, when I first watched this in the beginning parts that I was creeped out by the head the way you shot it coupled with the horror music. And the moon/clouds looked great. Just wanted to mention how well the whole thing was put together which really made the ending payoff.

Hmmm, maybe get SNL to give you a spot on a show? Just a crazy thought. :thumbup:

Are you telling me my film is a PSA? :laugh: I'm glad I can help make a difference.

Worked for me! You should market it to dentists...this would be great at a big dental convention.:beer:

Joe, what a fun romp.

I seem to recall reading about how you were inspired and had hammered out 40+ pages!? Nice bluff. Remind me not to play cards with you!

What's amazing is how the use of a bobble-head drives home the fact that good editing can enhance an actor's performance. Nice job!

Great choice of music for this piece too. It's light hearted and fit perfectly.

Kudos.

Now, don't forget to complete Miss Laid!!

[ZazaCast]

Thanks for watching & commenting! Don't you worry... production on "Miss Laid" will start-up again soon. I could never leave you guys hangin'!

.....and some of us know that MR. ZAZA is a former famous rock muscian too..... wink wink

I find it astounding the talent that participates on this forum...I have learned quite a bit about the craft!

Definitely you can count me in the fan club of this little 'diamant' :Drogar-Love(DBG):. This film matched 100% how is the best way to kidding the theme of the fest. Very entertaining.

At the moment we are involved in an other not DVXuserFest project. So we will have a look more ahead if there will be money (ohhhh santa economic-financial-crisis!) and time left for a film at QuestFest :huh:
