FLOWER a flyin' monkey films production

Just finished my first rough cut and have a couple of pickup shots tomorrow with Jessica. Sohan can't make it back out tomorrow so if I have any pickups for him they'll have to be later in the week and single shots. First cut is looking pretty nifty though. Have some more screen shots coming.

First cut already?!?

I'm must have shot too much, :-)
I'm still loggin my transfered clips. It doesn't
help that since they are upside down at ingest, I have to bring them all in
to start deciding whats hot and what's not. This is my first HD/P2 adventure
so this is to be expected. Next time I'll hook up a second monitor and
flip it up side down! :-P

Great work so far Rodney!

Thanks dude. I did the upside down thing for a while then got sick of the whole mess and got the flip. My head hurts less these days. I always tend to know what shots I want and what I got, so the last scene I shot is usually the keeper. Helps with the rough edit. The rough edit is really to see what shots I missed and how it all flows in the edit. That's the point where I can say: "oh I wish I had this shot here..." So on the second day I can go out and get my pick up shots, focusing on a particular angle.

It's fun innit?
 
Jessica is gone flying away back to Canadialand. We'll definitely miss her spirit and charm around here. It was actually cool to get to hang out with my actor before and after. Usually its such a short contained burst of activity that you never really get to talk to a person or even learn anything about them. I tell ya: until you've shared a meal (craft services doesnt count) and had a few glasses of wine/vodka/name your poison and hung out and watched movies, you don't really pass the friendship barrier. I'm just glad that she's talented and professional and was willing to come out to shoot with us.

Okay, enough of this schmaltz: time to get back to editing.
 
Jeez, Rodney! You work fast, man. I mean, you've got a rough cut, got bts interviews and all kinds of stuff. I just finished my rough cut yesterday. Like I said, you're the hardest working man in show business. Now, give us some more grabs!
 
I have ZERO BTS photos this time around. Just stuff before the shoot but none on the actual days of the shoot. I'm a bit disappointed in myself now. May have to go and stage some shots... without Jessica in them.

Shot my credit sequence last night. That was a load of fun, but I think I may get an actor in and give him some additional lines to start the movie off over the main credits. Decisions, decisions...
 
2 More Screen Grabs...

The funny think is I have the MicroFlip, i just took it off my rig because the
smallHD mounted upside down was letting me see (on set) what I wanted.
I got a cleaner look without the flip. But in post... Aye Aye Aye!

At this point I'm not sure if I'm going to sell the flip or not..

PS, the scene where Jessica is putting out the candles...
I love it, I can see a demonic event with impending doom just minutes away :-)
