Things are progressing.

We have brought on Aram Bauman to DP, and will be shooting on the RED ONE. He's known on DVXUser as Beat Takeshi. AKA, Spike, AKA Two-Hip Shakur. Met with him today to discuss some of the look and shots, and get his brain-juices cooking. I will start a new post soon about the look of the piece and how it relates to the content. Then get Aram to add in his thoughts on it.

Also, there is one serious VFX shot in the film. For that I have recruited a friend of my GF, who does VFX work for the NYC post house, THE MILL. On New Year's Eve, she said she would like help on one of my films, and even though she was three sheets to the wind when she said it, I got her to agree again when she was sober. This week, I will get her with Aram, so we can all discuss the VFX shots.

I have contacted the relevant parties about about securing the final locations.

Auditions are scheduled for next week. I have seven actors coming in to read for the remaining role to be cast.

Storyboards will be done this week.
 
Hi all, I'm very excited to be working with Mark again. I absolutely love his amazing work and hope to do justice for him and the story. Shooting on the RED will give the VFX people the cleanest plates to work with. It will be exciting to see how they do the process for what is needed.

thanks Will. Though Aram told me to get the really good images, he has to make sweet-sweet love to her. I thought he was speaking metaphorically, until my hand got stuck to the eye-piece.
 
Not to take anything away from the Red (it has been used in the last few winners)...but these guys could probably make a film with a cloudy cellphone that would blow us all away! Really looking forward to this one.
 
I totally agree with JDS! The visuals Mark uses in his film are always very, very unique...

And with the RED it should be EPIC!

Get all of the juice you possibly can out of the RED. People are still pulling wonderful images out of dvx's and hvx's, and I've seen a lot of fair to mediocre productions that used a RED One. Make that camera sing!!! :)

Oh, and I'm looking forward to the film! :beer:
 
I have a lot of blogging to catch up on with the auditions. They went perhaps better than any other I've ever done. By which I mean, I came away with a greater percentage of good people than I ever had before. So I will write some detailed stuff about that hopefully this weekend.

In the meantime, since I am making a jump to RED, I had to switch to FCP. Or I made the decision to switch to FCP for this project. I got the RED codecs installed and so far I am able to work with the proxies just fine. I need to start boning up on workflows, but it seems like my Quad Core box will get me through this. I think I will have to edit with proxies though. Going to try the FCP installer at red.com next. Will blog about this as well.
