- WELCOME TO
WEEK 8!!!
-
- What a
fun job. Seriously, when you forget all
the other career goals and all the plans
and schemes you may have and just look at
everything... this is pretty much my dream
job. I get to write it, direct it, perform
it and edit it all together exactly the
way it is in my head. This is probably the
highest level I'd be able to do all of
that with and I'm enjoying the crap out of
it.

- This
will be a quick entry as I've only got
video stills for ya (Donna wasn't feelin'
too well), and because I am far
behind on my Price is Right edit. The
shots took so friggin' long this weekend
and I'm not even close. I was suposed to
present it to Bob today and it looks like
everything will be pushed back a week.
Some complicated stuff in that bit for
sure.
-
- Anyway
- this was a lightening fast shoot. We
were actually done in less than 5
hours.

- The
reason? Everyone quits. LOL. Trying to win
favor with Gary to get on "The Set",
Cameron lets Adam go almost immediately...
angering Spencer into quitting and
eventually Dewey. Cam's left by himself to
announce the last finalist and now stuck
with probably only 1 ego next week. What
one man will do to get on that set huh?
Yeah, you guessed it, I'm gonna be teasing
the HELL out of the season finale each
week. Sheee... ooot.

- I love the fact
that I can trim my beard a little different, comb my
hair back, and suddenly look completely out of place
even wearing the exact same clothing. It's what really
gives me hope for the future sit-com pitches. There's
just so much potential for subtlety...
-
-
- One
little thing I did get to add that
I'm just immensely proud of is the little
"Techinical Difficulty" stills at the
end. Thanks to Google I was able to
find the old CBS stills as well as
the CBS announcer from the early 80s
announcing there were difficulties and
asking everyone to stand by.

- I must
admit, I do miss the 80s. There's an
analog-ness to it that was quite
endearing. Funny coming from a guy whose
every concept is digital to an EXTREME,
but I love the nostalgia in these
pictures. Simpler times. Imagine what
would happen today if they ever put a
still on-screen with elevator
music?
|
-
- Of course now
I go back to the complex and arduous world of
frame-by-frame roto-work on the Price is Right bit.
Realize it's also the most exciting project I've ever
worked on. I smile as the frames go by because as long
as it's taking, it's really over in moments. All
depends on how you look at it...
-
- ...and I sure
like lookin' at it.
