My Soul To Keep - presented by Easy Water Films

Dude, why didn't you go to Craig's list first? Found this morsel in the same time it takes to buy on-line tickets to China ...

FOR SALE

Mint condition 1487 harpsichord. Original cat gut strings and ivory keys. Will sell whole or part.

Perfect accessory for filmmakers and other artists. Serious inquiries only.

Note: High humidity may cause harpsichord to sound 1488-ish.

I just scored the last one! :beer:

Twaaaaaaaaaaannnnngggggggg..........
 
I personally prefer the 1487+1/2 harpsichord... there was a terrible cat plague late in 1486 and it really affected the quality of the available gut. (It was also the first model to offer side-impact air bags...little known fact)
 
Update:

I'm on a plane for LA tomorrow morning, which means I have to upload the film tonight in order to meet the submission date. I'll make it don't worry, but right now I'm finishing up the sound mix. It sucks to still be working on the mix the day that you have to submit the film, but I am once again reminded of how much fun the sound mixing process is. It's the moment that, for me anyway, I can sit back and say to myself "Hey, this is pretty good." Everything solidifies in the sound mix.

Anyway, back at it. See you guys at the finish line.

A harpsichord might have pushed you over budget though... :cheesy:

I feel like I'm missing out on all the fun with editing and sound and music and all that.

Course, writing is still the cheaper career path! The poor man's choice, and ironically writing keeps it that way!! Vicious circle.



Looking forward to seeing this one with its untold hours of 1:00 A.M. tweaks.

Yes, but without great writing, the rest is almost pointless, IMO. 3 Cheers to great writers! :beer::beer::beer: That's you Alex. How many entries did you write or consult on this time?
 
Congratulations on the upload! BTW, it took me a while to hunt your thread down - the link from the "Submission Status" links to "Free Fall".

Missed this one somehow. Crossed eyes maybe. Thanx for the comment!

Agree, writing sets the ball in motion.

I worked on 8, 4 of which were as script consultant, or whatever they billed me as - coordinator, editor, sabotuer ...

And ...

2 original stories (ZaZaCast and Easywater) and 2 written for's (Drew and Neal). Two others didn't make it. One was pretty cool. I was working with a US soldier stationed in Afganistan, and he has access to an abandoned Russian fort complete with burned out tanks and demolished bunkers, left as is since the 70s. I guess the Captain or some other brass poo-poo'ed the film and that was it. Script was done, location ready, casting started. That's life.

Everyone here on DVX was absolutely great to work with. I should add this to the 'what I learned' thread, but for sure every filmmaker has their own style, and their own way of interpreting story. As a writer, it was yet another eye opener. All good of course.

I really didn't mean to take on this many projects, but in past fests (4) I have only signed on to one or two projects and they didn't make it to the fest, and of course I was pretty disappointed. Stuff comes up, as we all know, and so it goes.

Time fest was the first I had a film make it all the way, and I owe that to Drew. There was one script edit as well, but the rest kinda whithered away, so this year I hedged my bets and signed on to a bunch, and well, 8 out of 10 came through! I pretty much expected 2 or 3 out of 10.

I gotta say, nothing teaches better than seeing a film done. I can read (and write) all the books I want, but a finished film is gold.

So, a huge helping of gratitude to all those who let me be a part of the whole. What a ride (well, maybe not as exciting as a Roadrunner that goes really fast, but a great ride all the same).

Watch out so you don't end writing ALL the next fest entries...
Anyway, happy to see all the films you got involved to. (even those as saboteur)

Good luck!
