At Walmart the night before. Norm gets a brain cramp trying to decide which M&Ms to buy.

HA, he's not kidding!! I was trying to decide between the special Christmas color edition, or the normal brand. I went normal & saved a few pennies. :)
 
Just saw this now, awesome! Excited to see another film from you, Norm. Nice stills so far and looks like some solid production/set design as well; great location. Keep the BTS coming in!
 
Thanks Geoff, Ted, and Robbie. I was going to begin working on the footage today, but instead just found out on a 5:30am call that I've been layed off due to a massive sales re-org within FedEx Office. OUCH. Second time being layed off since April of this year. At least it's a decent severance package.

Anyway, today was about feverishly getting my resume out to a bunch of places. Tomorrow, I'll hopefully dig into the edit. :)
 
hey Norm, I'm really sorry to hear that. I wish the best for you. The job market should look a lot better after first of the year. Until then, just think of it as a nice four week vacation!
 
Thanks, Shawn. The package is actually solid enough that we're financially going to be okay until around mid-March, if need be ... though I HOPE to land something much sooner, obviously.

In the meantime, I edit. :) Which I'm working on it right now....
 
Boy ... anything that involves Norm and Dempsey, well, I'm down. Seriously, you guys are two of the most talented people I know. Moreover, when I look back at the first year of Fat Monster I truthfully can say that the shoot we did with both of you on Whidbey Island remains my favorite. Lastly, I have come to appreciate and cherish the friendship I have with both of you. Had I known you were going to be shooting this I would have made a serious effort to come up. If the two of you find yourself on a project again do not fail to let me know.
 
Hey, thanks, Mark! We both had a great time with you too, although Steven does nothing but trash talk you & Tim, I personally love you guys! ;)

Steven and I had a good time working together, I believe, and I'm truly pleased with what I'm seeing ... so yeah, the next time we work together, I'd for sure love for you to be a part of it. Sorry we didn't give you any notice on this one, I just thought you'd be busy with your own short.
 
I know ... I just like to upset you, and was trying to see if I could hear a quiver from your voice ... but you didn't break. Drat!
 
Hey Norm, sorry to hear about the layoff man. Time are indeed tough. You'll find something soon, don't worry about it. :)
 
HA! And you of course know Steven's got an in with Starbucks, I'm sure. ;) Though the cheapskate wouldn't get me his discount! Wait, that makes ME the cheapskate for asking for it, lol. Anyway, yeah, we had a pot of Starbucks on set.
 
Editing/Frame grab from "Last Touch"

Editing/Frame grab from "Last Touch"

This frame absolutely won't make it into the film, as it's between takes, but I just liked the angle, and thought I'd toss it in here for you. It's closer to the CC that I'll likely have in the final, but still not final as of yet. Though I didn't adjust the framing up a tad for the eye line, you can see this will be in 2.35:1. I was torn on that vs. 16x9, but I like the added room of up/down movement for eye line. We'll also output this to 720P, although shot in 1080P, which will give additional room for subtle moments such as slight dramatic push, pan, etc.

Updated the poster & signature to reflect the current fest. The poster was updated by Steven as well. The original had too much of a love story vibe, and while this certainly has a love aspect to it, it's not a walk through the daisies as the first poster may have lead on to believe. :)

I'm parking the original here.
