Tarts Fools & The G-Men

This looks ridiculous - absolutely ridiculous and is definately why its ranked up as one of my favourites hehe! I like the stills you've posted too!

You see this kind of comic book pulp idea is a difficult one to pull off, i mean so many try it right? It ends up being utterly cheesy (i dont mean like entries in these fests, but you know young guys rushing out to film themselves acting tough and 'cool' only to look like heated dog poo waving on a stick!)

But this DOES look cool! I am loving some of the cinematography here too from these stills! Keep it up Lyon and good luck in the competition mon amie!
 
Half way through a post production meeting:

Going over the edit, discussing ideas with our sound designer, etc.

Thanks! That being said - let's not get crazy :) The short has been fun and we hope everyone (or at least someone) likes it - if not, well, at least we've had fun making it!
 
Organizing some notes today and came across this typed two lines of dialogue we used when auditioning the Tarts. Originally, neither line was in the short, this was just written on the spur of the moment to give them something to read during auditions that was different than script dialogue. Devon literally said, "Kevin go write me two lines." In the end, however, Jillian Rabe who plays one of the Tarts loved part of the line so much she asked me to include it in the short. So I found a spot and it fits quite nicely.

You just never know where or when a good piece of dialogue will hit you!

I don't know if it's even worth entering? From the looks of this, you have the festival locked up! Damn...nice stuff. You have everything going in this one...even animals, is that a camel toe I see?

Only if the camel has a square foot. Lol.

Honestly, after reading this entire post, I think we should seperate into PROFESSIONAL and AMATEUR DVXFests. Two different fests for people like this dude, who make epicly gnarly films, and people like me who can't compete with people like him. LMAO.

I agree...I'm a one-man-show and consider myself lucky if I can con someone into holding a boom for me! ...but it's just too much fun!:beer:

Yeah, the more I think of this line and how it came into existence the more I like it. The line is very cool. A beautiful woman, taking a drag from a Chesterfield, while delivering the line is even better :)

:) Thanks Shawn...quite the eye. Since we have about 6 different C/U of the cigars we should be okay.

Have you seen "Let the Right One In" yet? If not, go rent it.

So I finally saw 'Let the Right One In'. Wow! Uh, very well done but a really messed up movie :-D. What made you think of me in regards to it? Afterwards my wife told me that she doesn't care to watch movies with me that aren't comedy! lol

To "break them in", we took them out, robbed some banks and convenience stores, got chased by the cops. You know, the usual stuff.

Oh, and one of them came apart during a take and smacked Jerry in the ankle, drawing blood. Good times!

Not sure...I just really enjoyed the film for so many reasons and thought you might like it as well.
 
As the script writer, watching the lockdown edit is always interesting. Having been integrally involved in the production - from casting, through location scouting and acting as AD on the shoot - makes it even more so. Comparing the lockdown to the script, including my pre-script notes on blocking etc., we didn't do too badly capturing the vision. There are always sections where you say "Knowing what I know now", and that is true on this film as well. That is the great thing about being so involved, I believe it makes you a better writer knowing the work that goes into all other aspects of the production.
