Knock Knock
So I was woken up at ten this morning by cats.
No big deal. 10's a reasonable sleep in. and normally, I'd agree with you. Except I stayed up till 4 finishing a movie.
Knock knock was part of the Shooting Spree last august. It was just a silly once off that Tony and I had a blast filming. There's continuity gaffs galore, and I think we had more fun filming it than anyone will have watching it, but I like it. Also, it's nice to have something else finished.
Here it is. Enjoy.

HorrorFlix and Customer Service
So the movie that will never end is getting another couple steps towards completion.
I took this weekend off from work - and there seems to be a whole 'nother story in THAT - so we could try and get some filming done. First up, on Saturday, we finally got together to go a shoot the last few shots we needed for HorrorFlix. It was just meant to be a couple of fill in shots, but I was watching the final edit, and felt it needed something. So I came up with a couple quick and simple ideas which we shot with the full intention that, if they didn't work, we'd just cut them out. Luckily, they worked. I've managed to edit all together, and it works really well. Good God, I think we've got a movie.
Secondly, I can up with a silly idea earlier this week that Tony and I shot today. Earlier this year, we tried to shoot a Trop Fest movie, based on Tony's comic character Black Sparrow. Due to unforeseen events, we never go that shot. We got kicked out of the location. After that, I tried beefing up the script to re try later. While I was writing, I came up with this silly idea about Shrink Ray's. Fast forward to know, and I managed to turn that one throwaway line into a complete idea. We shot Tony's part of it today, which was a real challenge. The script was completely dialogue based, which is new for us. IT took us about 5 hours, plus about an hour and ten minutes of tape to shoot 7 pages of script, which equates about 7 mins of screen time. It was also a trick for me, as I have only ever shot one dialogue scene before, and I cocked that up completely. So it will be interesting to see how this turns out.
By the way. Work sucks.

The bane of Celebrity
I hate doing caricatures.
First up, I can't pronounce the word. Don't ever ask me to say it, because I just can not get the damn thing out of my mouth.
Secondly, I just don't like drawing them. Trying to get all the subtle nuances of a persons face just right, but also trying to enhance and slightly lampoon then at the same time is just freaking mind bending.
So what did I say when when I was offered a job of drawing six celebrity caricatures?
What do you think?
