Slim's Revenge

chupacabras, draculas, zombies, gogo...makes no difference to me...just bring 'em on...hey, i got it...how 'bout all at once...s*** flying everywhere! and Grace? yeah, she definitly reminds me of a few characters, especially anime characters...kinda freaky...but she is most definitly unique in her delivery. Contagion will be an interesting mix of characters...human and not....please stay tuned...
 
I would like to announce that Composers Sid Barnhoorn and Herman Witkam will be collaborating on the score for Slim's Revenge they began writing for the score today based on an early roughcut of the film. We're all excited to see what these two very talented guys will produce! Thanks!

Ha ha. Trey, it turns out that as you were posting this I had just posted a frame on my thread that includes the 3D earth I'm going to use for this sequence. I promise not to reveal any of the other secrets we're going to use to make this all happen!

FREEZE FRAME

Hanging Fire
For an actor who spends most of his time touring the Southeast in an RV and claims not to care much about getting film and TV work, 59-year-old Charleston native Jimmy Hagar sure gets a lot of film and TV work.
If you watch TV, you've surely seen him. At 5'11", with longish white hair and a well-weathered face, Hagar's a shoe-in for grandfather spots. But a richly-timbred, Gene Hackman-like voice that can go from zero to power saw in an instant gives Hagar a special sort of oomph, which lifts him above standard kind-eyed grandpa types.He's appeared in numerous regional commercials and local theatre productions. He's also shown up on NBC's Surface, the WB's One Tree Hill, and last year's ill-fated Palmetto Pointe (not his fault, he says). National commercials on his CV include Sears, Morgan Stanley, Walgreens, BC Headache Powder, Citgo, and others.
This fall, though, Hagar will begin work on his first major role in a feature film when he starts shooting on the independent Three Words and a Star in the Rock Fill area.
Directed by British filmmaker Erica Dunton, Three Words and a Star is a road trip movie in which a rock star, played by One Tree Hill's Craig Sheffer, convinces a grocery store clerk to take him on a tour of America. In the film, Hagar plays Brother Earl, a homeless Vietnam Vet.
"I have learned to love the audition process," Hagar says. I'm happy if I get one of of five. Which is pretty good odds, in this business. If they want young, beautiful people, there's 2,500 of 'em gonna show up to an audition. But if they want old farts like me, there's only about a half dozen of us around here. One of the things I've learned is if they want a white-headed old guy with a Southern accent who's bumping 60 and who might have been around in Vietman, or if they want a grandfather or a Ku Klux Klan type, I'm usually their man."
Although research on a historical novel-in-progress, and a 28-foot Fleetwood Jamboree have been occupying most of Hagar's time lately, he says he'll continue to audition whenever he can.
"You know how they say 50 is the new 30?" he asks. "Well, I'm betting 60 is the new 40." – Patrick Sharbaugh

CHUPACABRAS IN CHARLESTON???​

By PRENTISS FINDLAY
The Post and Courier

Is it a Mexican hairless dog with healing powers? Or El Chupacabra, a creature said to suck the blood from goats? Maybe it's an African wild dog. Or could it be a "feasel," a cross between a fox and a weasel?
For two weeks, a weird-looking creature spotted around the Lowcountry has captured the public imagination and fueled speculation about whether mutant wildlife is on the loose.
Neil Goodrich, a retired Berkeley County optometrist and outdoorsman, has seen a lot of wild animals in his 82 years, but nothing like what he saw outside Moncks Corner on a recent morning.
While driving with a friend on a shopping trip, he spied a "fox-like quadruped" ambling across the road. "It didn't seem spooked at all. It wasn't excited about the automobile," Goodrich said.
"Of course, we did recognize this from the pictures in the paper."
He speculated that the animal is a greyhound. "They may be inbreeding or they may just be escapees. Greyhounds are faster than a rabbit. They could live off the land," he said.
The story of the weird critters began in Mount Pleasant, where Ann Concannon has reported seeing the animals since spring. When she first saw one of the animals in silhouette, she thought it resembled a greyhound. Pictures that she and her neighbors have taken of the animal, however, have a more fox-like appearance.
Her daughter discovered one of the animals dead on their street, and Concannon put it in a freezer. Now it's in the hands of Jaap Hillenius, a biologist at the College of Charleston who has sent a DNA sample of the animal to a colleague at the University of California at Los Angeles.
"Whatever this is, it's not just one," Hillenius said.
He's pretty satisfied that the animal is a fox, but he's not sure whether its hairless appearance is caused by mange or a genetic abnormality.
Hillenius will plan out his dissection of the animal so that he makes the most of the opportunity to study it. "I want to do this right. I don't want to blow it," he said. The DNA test results should be back in two weeks, he said.
The carcass was discovered in a neighborhood off Chuck Dawley Boulevard toward Shem Creek. Apparently it was run over. The state Department of Natural Resources has expressed an interest in the animal and is working with Hillenius.
Buddy Baker, a DNR expert on fur-bearing mammals, examined a photo of Concannon's animal carcass. "The photo is of a gray fox," he said.
The most logical explanation for the animal's lack of hair is a genetic defect or mange, but if the widespread sightings are credible, then genetic abnormality or mange are less plausible explanations, Baker said.
The genetic abnormality, called Sampson, occurs in less than 1 percent of the fox population. Mange is not usually a widespread problem, he said.
"These types of health epidemics in wildlife tend to be more isolated than this," he said.
The wildlife department wanted to pick up the frozen carcass to take a look at it, but Concannon gave it to the College of Charleston last Monday.
Concannon said through her brother, Andy Rowland, that Hillenius' research will be done in cooperation with the wildlife department. Hillenius wrote in a note to Rowland, "If this is a serious disease problem, state DNR or DHEC are the most appropriate agencies to be involved."
Concannon said she was reluctant to go public with her sightings because she thought others wouldn't care, but instead she's discovered just the opposite.
Even in the childbirth class she teaches, the creature is a topic of conversation. A dentist who took the class with his wife wanted to know all about the animal.
"He was more excited about that (animal) than he was about the prospect of his wife having a baby," she said.

the score is very impressive and professional and Hiro's 3rd rough cut matches up nicely...I'm lucky to work with these folks.
 
Another one for the SLIDE guys n'gals...

I noticed you're probably the only person throwing up historical info that supports your thread. It's an advantage for sure. I was totally thinking of doing something like that before I changed my mind on my short.

The links and info are GREAT reads, and are going to help inform your story. I can dig it.
