Rough cut complete!

Filed under: — Chance @ 10:28 pm

Finished the (first) rough cut of Hide and Creep a few hours ago. Running time is 79 minutes, 24 seconds.

I’m currently working on getting the movie onto DVD so I can see how it plays out on a big(ger) screen.

I think things are about to get interesting…

MediumLarge.

Our good pal Ces Marciuliano (up in New York City), has been publishing an online daily comic strip for the past month or so that’s quite good. It’s called “MediumLarge,” and you can check it out at Ces’ DrinkAtWork web site, which also features various musings on the sad state of the modern American workplace.

Movies about movies.

Something a little different on today’s installment of ”This Movie Ain’t Gonna Shoot Itself” at Movie Poop Shoot. I took a break from the technical stuff and talked about some fun movies about movies.

Also, except for a couple of effects shots, we wrapped shooting on Sam Frazier’s Programming to Die For last night. We’ll be getting the footage back sometime next week. I think we got some good stuff and am looking forward to see what Sam does with it.

A movie not involving zombies.

I’m taking the weekend off from editing to help Sam Frazier shoot a new short movie, starring Michael Shelton (star of Hide and Creep and just about every other movie Chuck and I have made). Sam’s last movie, Don’t Make Eye Contact, has played quite a few film fests and gotten some nice reviews – you can read more about it on the DTBD Films site.

Sam was looking to shoot on 16mm, so we’ll be using the beloved Crewless Aaton LTR-54 camera. A good time is almost certain…

State of the rough cut.

Filed under: — Chance @ 5:51 pm

I’m actually making pretty quick progress on the rough cut of Hide and Creep. At the moment, the running time is 75 minutes, 37 seconds, and I still have 5 or so scenes to go. The current plan is to have the rough cut done by mid-June, in time for the Sidewalk fest deadline, and this looks totally do-able at the moment. I might even manage to get the rough cut finished within the week. We’ll see…

New “news.”

Welcome to the new Crewless “news” page, courtesy of WordPress and a recommendation from Kenn McCracken (thanks, Kenn). The new ”‘blog-style” page should be easier for me to maintain, plus it’ll make it easy for Chuck and other Crewless folks to add items.
