It's the whole networking thing. i really gotta get out of the basement and practice more. Film isn't all shooting and editing and then spending a week or two doing the soundmix... there's also the "real people" element to it. Hmm, wonder if there are any mixers going on in Toronto...
 
No. This is not a ripoff scene from Marathon Man. "Is it Safe!" Rochelle Smith (sitting in the chair), who plays Missy, had a pair of braces made today. Dr. Blaine Langberg (co-writer and producer) created the removable braces as seen in the photos below. Its not a simple process.

I thought the same thing until I sat down with him and he made his pitch. His career as an orthodontist hasn't stopped him from watching movies and television. He is truly a film fanatic and has written other non-fiction material before this short film.

The first thing I thought maybe I can get this guy to finance one of my feature film scripts. It's, as you know, well known that anyone with a doctorate in teeth will finance a film.

At least, I have the best technical adviser I could get to oversee the film.

In most cases, you are right.

And here's the double twist ending, the two writers on this film are orthodontists. Not one, but two. One from here, in Ridgefield, CT and the other from Newport Beach, CA. Now put that in your pipe and smoke on it. :Drogar-Smoke(DBG):

Todd Walkow, one of the writers, has several family members in show business as entertainers, including his brother. He says, that he was the one that seemed odd for going the orthodontist route.

I don't think I would ever come up with an idea about a loss retainer for LossFest. I don't think anyone would. I had an influence on the script's tonality and ending. It hits a note I like and understand. In the end, they still built the ship. I'm just the captain.

There must be some odd connection between teeth and filmmaking. When someone figure it out, let me know what it is.

So, I assume you are slowly, but surely selling all your props.

Thanks, for the compliment. I love details and the fact that we can have fake braces that are meticulously created by an orthodontist involved with this project is a plus. We just wrapped on this production 4 hours ago after a 9 hour shoot day, so the best thing I can dig up on the braces for now, is this photo.

I know which one you are talking about. The scene outside near the pool. That short was incredible. But you guessed wrong, its not the same house. Our house does not have a sweet looking pool like that with a view to die for. But, then again, its an awesome house in whole different way.
 
Here are a couple of Behind-the-Scenes photos from LOOK AT ME. It goes to show you that you can't have enough equipment. In some of the shots you will see the HVX-200 without a 35mm lens adapter. Instead, I opted for more light (1/2 to 1 stop loss with adapter) and did the old long-lens, zoom-in trick to create a more shallow depth of field. Yes! Those are Kinoflos with daylight and tungsten lamps, but you can still do a great job with a couple of china balls.
