Garrett's turning Japanese

Well, it's wig time. So I took them all out to figure out what was useful for what. We found that this wig makes Garrett a little more Japanese than he usually does. (Not to imply that he looks Japanese at all in general.)

Garrett's also wearing the kimono that he'll be wearing in his Samurai fantasy sequences.

We got to go to the city on Friday to see Monkeys in the Atrium, an improv troupe, perform.

They were amazing. They perform at Charley O's by Times Square. Brandon will be playing Hans in The Narcissist and Rob Yang's going to play Master Tim.

OK

John acknowledged the presence of the naked creepy dude so I can go on with this blog. I've been shooting the movie all day and making a reel tape for Duncan, picture below. Got to scroll down a bit I think. Can two or three people and some actors make a decent movie in the time that hundreds of studio financed people can make a lame, fake movie? I wonder.

It's a fantastic challenge. The funny thing is that most of what I do is secretarial in nature. I label and number the tapes. Move them from one box to the other. Correspond with people, deal with logistical problems. It's so mundane. The creative part is like ten percent.

I shot the scene where Galilea hears the voice of god through a little Hummel like figurine. Moments after this picture was taken the figure fell and cracked into about six pieces. Oh well.

First of all, I'm not posting anything substantial on this blog until John Everson acknowledges the presence of the weird naked guy below. Until then, may I present Andrew Liu. This guy's a doctor at some hospital and he says it's important to exercise.

The saga of Nude Yoda lives on

A guy came by my house today and he wanted to be drawn nude. Enjoy!

Nudecycle?

I've been too busy for craigslist the last few days. Checking it out again, it is amazing how bizarre it is. A guy from California gave the world a free bulletin board. People could do ANYTHING with it. What DO they do? Everything I guess but mostly guys ask to pose nude or they ask for women to pose nude for them.

Now in my day to day existence the desire/need for nudity doesn't come up that much between strangers. But it's all over craigslist every day!

So I think to myself: This board is a place where people become anonymous. They can ask or do anything. Well they're generally not going to do the nice things they do in front of others. I get that. They'll be hateful and racist and selfish and horny. I get that. They'll be honest and for a lot of people that means--not nice.

So my co-writer on the Narcissist suggested that there's a need for something new on the net: nudecycle. This would be a combination of the two things on the internet that he hears me complaining about the most: Freecycle and craigslist.

I've been in pursuit of a negative scanner

Someone was giving one away on freecycle. It's really old so I don't know if I can get it to work. I was running around looking for props. I'm also preoccupied with a sound problem that I'm having with the xl1. Tomorrow I'll post some pictures that I took today of geese.

John Everson, who remembers everything said during those "halcyon" days produced this graphic. Enjoy!

Spent the first full day

shooting The Narcissist at Villa Maria. It was an exhausting exciting day. I've got "not good enough"itis. So that's hard but things were looking quite good.

Tuesday, April 12, 2005

I'm on the home stretch

of the script, maybe nine pages to go. I got another review of the incomplete script. I'm once again told that Galilea isn't likeable. It's hard. I don't find narcissists particularly likeable. We'll see what happens.

Fro is involved in a remake

I have a real challenge ahead of me

The pic is of the lead singer Rammstein, Till Lindemann. Galilea loves to go to German class. Her teacher is a heavy metal guy with a soft spot for Galilea and her lederhosen. I need to find somebody really amazing and talented and funny for this role so I'm trying to put out feelers.

I feel like this is as hard as finding somebody good enough to play Griffith Gaunt. It wasn't easy but we ended up with Stian Nilsen who was amazing.

Narcissist. This is the first day that I did some shooting on The Narcissist. I woefully disregarded shooting stills on Griffith Gaunt so I'm trying to make up for it now.

This is me as Galilea Kessler. Doesn't she seem like a lot of fun?

(Yeah right.)

Hi,

As I've said I'm getting geared up to do some movie shooting. I wanted to do some more lighting tests on Napoleon Froman. He seems to be getting into it. He says, "I like it when you watch me".

Napoleon Froman and I

say hello to you. I'm trying to finish my script as soon as possible. I'm feeling the need to start shooting it. I see the camera (xl1), the good weather, the microphone. This guy, that guy. Villa Maria is going to be sold soon and I was hoping to shoot a few things there. We have carte blanche to shoot outside anytime until they sell it. I've decided to totally simplify the process; to see how much I can do on my own. No conferring with anyone! Until I really have to. I hate compromising, especially when I know what I want.

Finally hit

page 60 on the screenplay. It's been coming slow but at least it's coming. We've kicked the editing into a higher gear so that's been exhausting. My Panasonic pvgs70 stopped working. Spent the whole morning trying to get panasonic customer service to help me. An utterly infernal experience.

Monday, April 04, 2005

For the last two days

I've been in a mad dash. The number one priority was editing Griffith Gaunt. It's really in one piece now. It's hard not to feel devastated that the film wasn't better shot. Next time I suppose (I'll do better). The movie, however, is not crap. We're trying to get it finished in time for the Hamptons Film Festival. I'm enthusiastic about creative work but not as enthusiastic about getting the work out there. In a world that validates the existence of Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton, where does somebody like me fit in?

These days I've been doing test shots on Napoleon Froman. I've been mostly concentrating on him because he's black and he presents certain lighting challenges. After I take shots with the digital rebel, I take six shots with the Graflex and process them.

No one, I repeat no one

weighed in on the Mr. Winkle/ Napoleon Froman "controversy". With a war on maybe people have other things on their minds. But the sale of SUVs does not go down in spite of everything. So what are people thinking about?

Don't make me post a pic of Fro dancing Billy Jean with an underage pup. Napoleon doesn't get near a puppy until it's at least six weeks old and its had ALL ITS SHOTS.
