Day 141 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Ran the workshop for Scott David again today. I anticipated him getting there early and starting which he did by 30 minutes but I was an hour ahead of schedule so we were ready to go! I found a scene from Harry's Law that I really like so I presented it to him today and he actually seemed to agree with my take on it and the strength that I had behind it. It did get a little heated too long but he also said "You seem like you can direct yourself very well." If there's one thing I learned from Howard Fine's class, it's don't bullshit yourself. Just be honest with yourself in the craft. If it was shit, don't tell yourself it was gold. And if it was gold, keep it to yourself. Always good to see him. His office goes back to work end of June. I'll be on the lookout.
Sifted through the scenes today and we've got some great material. I really like what Parker Quinn (Ehret) did as our DP. And luckily we also have a lot of blooper material too. An actual knee to groin shot!
Rewatched Alien (1979) by Ridley Scott in anticipation of Prometheus. They use that cat a lot to insight fear. Jumping out everywhere! Meowing and hissing! That thing should be grateful to even be alive on a deep space commercial vehicle like the Nostromo! Picked up the directors cut and honestly I couldn't you the difference. But there are moments toward the end where it is completely silent despite what is being shown on the screen. The original tagline for the film read "In space no can hear you scream." Point taken.
Until tomorrow!
