Wow! You guys have MsManhattan in your film? Cool. That beats planes any day!!!

Good luck, guys!

 

[Beat Takeshi]

I was able to locate a black panther painting but no elvis. Seems to be a collectors item and really expensive.

 

[Mark Harris]

you an email me that too, aram, I am back at my desk now.

 

[TimurCivan]

sweet. I love thoes, Panther paintings.

I have a copy of an old Edward hopper painting we can hang. they are real paintings, not photocopies. i made them mysefl.

 

[Charli]

So, you guys like waiting till the last minute and then editing on the fly? Tim, you really like the pressure, huh?

 

[TimurCivan]

i thrive under pressure. thats when i do my best. IT makes my LAzy mind Focus.

 

[Mark Harris]

yeah, this is last minute, but this one is a lot more detailed and required a lot more pre-prod to get in shape. But it is going to rock several faces off, I'm sure. We are very proud of what's happening so far. Had rehearsals with the actors the past few days and at tomorrow night's rehearsals they will be ready to just let it fly and run it over and over till it's in their bones.

But the shoot will go great. We got the Mo-Fo crew on this bad boy.

Steve
Aram
Leslie
JimTheJib
My friend Dennis, a pro feature film sound guy
Monica from Black Watch Productions really helping us out
Martina the costume designer running her butt off to get the look I want
Jill the on set costume and make-up who will keep our stars looking their best.
Alex Depew, the MO-FO FOG-MEISTER!!!!

I am so excited about the crew on this...

And wait till you see what the Timur and Aram are cooking up for lights. It's going to be a modern noir hearkening back to an earlier era yet distinctly a look all our own.

Oh yeah, and with Herman on score, once he sees the visuals, I predict that kid's imagination is going to go off the rails.

 

[TimurCivan]

Dont forget Commercial Director and Pro Editor Gary Waldinger!

 

[Mark Harris]

ah shoot, yeah, I gotta contact him tomorrow.

Thanks!

 

[TimurCivan]

Dude gimme a quick buzz, we gotta sicuss something real quick about the Last scene. Does katrina use the flamethrower, before or after the airplane crashes in to "Ted" and "Mark J"'s Air bunker?

 

[Mark Harris]

No no no, she says: "Till hell comes for us," and slits his throat.

[Mark Harris]

I got the paint and the stuff to cover the walls of the set today. So tomorrow we should be able to get the base-coat on and let it dry for Thurs when we stencil and dress and light the set.

 

[TimurCivan]

Scweet.

 

[Blaine]

You guys in NY seem to do a lot of painting...:beer:

 

[TimurCivan]

[Mark Harris]

Oh yeah, timur, I made the money today too. Printed it at least. Getting it cut on Monday, and I got these $10,000 money wraps from the bank. I upped the contrast on the printed money over he real contrast though after doing some camera tests. It reads better with the greens darker and more saturated than money actually is.
