KEEPER OF THE LOST - Flyin' Monkey Films & MattSpat Films

thanks guys. We're having fun on this one despite the cold and the fact that we lose all feeling in our toes and fingers. Turns out that not having snow is not the same as it actually being WARM. ALl it means here in wonderful Canadia is that we're not WET and cold. Just really ****ing cold.

My thanks goes out to Jessica and Robert for having such patience while I hauled their asses all around Toronto.

I think the highlight of today was the instant re-write of a scene that had been written for the subway. Apparently they really crackdown on cameras in the subway here, so since we were running short on time, we were brainstorming on how best to represent the scene. Enter the extremely helpful and friendly Hot Dog Vendor guy at the SkyDome. So the scene changed a little in location, but the intent and heart is still there. Not bad for a guerilla shoot in the heart of Toronto.

I'll post details and pictures of Day 2 later on.
 
first edit is in at 8:12, and that's without credits and the pickup shots we need with Robert later this week. Oh and there's a snow storm coming, so gotta shoot fast.

Editing this one is seriously going to hurt, since I hadn't planned for it running long. And there I was editing for emotion and padding scenes as well, and now I gotta trim.r the first time I'm thinking I need an objective editor who can be more cruel than myself.
 
If you need any notes, I can take a look at the draft at a later date.

I'd love to help with this one in some way. Just might be real busy with mine.

I'll see though.

it was an interesting experience. Day one was a little more relaxed since we had more crew and I could really just focus more on the shots. So Matt did a great job on day 1. Day 2 I went into full on "get this completed" mode, since Tony got called into work and Aaron also had to work, so we were essentially crewless. Plus we got off to a late start, so I helmed day 2 since most of it was run and gun and a few pickup shots.

Editing the same day is such a great help, cuz by the first night, I knew exactly what pickup shots we needed to complete the scenes.

With the time crunch i ended up being more along he lines of "here's what we need: i set up the shots, you rehearse the actors". Not optimal but a good learning experience, especially asking random people for favors.

Kinda strange yes. Next I wanna try shooting someone elses script and hear the plaintive cries of "you screwed up my script" from the writer. :evil grin:
 
Did Matt's ADR today. He got officially introduced to my basement and my unorthodox sound treatment. Bit of an eye opener for him the way I do ADR. I think he now appreciates it more than he thought he would.

May be flying out to Atlanta tomorrow for a last minute job. Waiting on confirmation, so that means Jessica's and Robert's ADR sessions will have to be pushed back til next week.

Damian already has the movie so he's started to work on a score. Really looking forward to see what he comes up with.
 
new podcast coming today actually. thinking about how to present it is all... plus trying to figure out this Atlanta job that I'm supposed to fly out for.
 
Just heard a sample of the score...I think it will fit the film very nicely! Stay tuned for a directors diary podcast later tonight/tomorrow!
