1. The first concept art and back grounds came in and with it a flood of positivity. The more people can picture what we are doing, the more they will get swept up in CVM hysteria!
2. Jerry White, who is just coming off Macbeth, is introducing me to some really top drawer talent to do voices and don the suit come shoot time. The acting must be strong because we are going for very natural performances, very conversational and not "actorly". Like the conversations in "The Shining" or "The Straight Story" or a Charlie Rose episode. Conversations that take their time and breathe. They need to anchor the film, so we don't go flying off into Schumacher Batman territory. I just Facebooked two of them, thanks Jerry!
3. The transitions between scenes will be done with sound becoming more and less dense. Think Exorcist, but we go silent to silent, loud to loud, the density slowly building and ebbing between scenes, the transitions happening on the peaks and valleys. Hypnotic.
4. I am making a flash animated commercial for the movie that will go out on the updates and get people all crazy. It's a class project that I am retrofitting for CVM's devious intentions. I did the storyboards today!
5. Made a big connection in my head today on the connection between clowns and monkeys. Talked to the writer, he's down with it and we are on the same page.
6. Meeting writer again on Sunday, cancelled last Sunday due to giant inflatable jumpy things and my kids excited eyes, and who am I to deny children one of the basic pleasures of life. Inflatable Jumpy Things. Josh was all about it and we are going with the flow. But he just wrote me some scene ideas and they are mofo on the money.
7. I have a lead on some seamstresses courtesy of Connie Alman who performed countless miracles on Zombeak as our casting director and her husband Illya made a lot of props and got a horrible rash for us back in hardcore'04.
8. Getting a definite shooting schedule down, confirmed with green screen Matt the Man about switching to Sundays and so it will be Sundays. Actual written dates coming. A lot more people available on Sundays.
9. I have written a new donation schedule to post at fundable.com to bring in the budget! It will be there by Friday.
10. Confirmed with Nancy Miller that we should indeed confer once Halloween is up. She is big into Netherworld Haunted House. She was another saving grace on Zombeak. She does it all and does it all with awesome infused.
