| | Wow, It's July! That's crazy! Well, we made our deadline! Trade-off finished filming the 30th of June right on Schedule! I get to come home today. I have to come back to Chicago on Thursday though to do some ADR with the actors then the rest is left to the editor!
It was long days with little sleep but an amazing experience as well as learning experience for all of us. Last Thursday a terrible thing happened. Michael Jackson died. I was told through a message and I let everyone else I knew know. He really was one of my favorite artists and I am NOT just saying that. What annoys me is that now people are starting to appreciate him and all that. I was excited to see his upcoming music and new tour. I even made a post last year about him when the 25th anniversary of Thriller album was released. http://shadowofdestiny.xanga.com/645472069/the-thriller-returns/
He was an amazing artist and entertainer. Because I loved him and others in the cast/crew- it really made us rather mopey- I got chills and all that. It was really making the overall morale a bit somber, but we had to block it out and focus to give our project the most of our energy. All in all we all ended happy and I can say for now that it is sad that he passed but I am so thrilled to continue to work hard as myself as an artist, and draw inspiration from him to continue to work hard. Ok That's my Michael section, -
Now! I am so thrilled for this film. And if you want to see it, most of you will just have to come to a screening and/or festival screening it goes into, there will be limited DVDs I will be giving or showing anyone. This is meant to be seen on the big screen. But anyway! I had not only a fantastic Crew but a FANTASTIC cast as well! It was extremely exciting to work with these actors. I must say it is true what I heard about actors that they are very fragile people. You need to be their parent and guiding light in the production as a director. A bit high maintenance at times but we worked around those issues.
Here are some of the actors!
Scott Dunn- Lead http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2853253/
Bree Michaels - Supporting http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3144187/
Julian
Michael Sugarman
Jake Novak
and other various individuals.
GOD seriously blessed this entire production. I hope he continues to bless us in the post production process with editing, sound, music rights acquisition, and financing. If anyone knows people who love to invest in creative projects please let me know and I can arrange a meeting with them. I hope this film will go as far as it can go, and be used as an effective calling card for each and everyone of our careers.
Also, I am super psyched to get home and to continue working on my other creative projects. I am going to continually be working to express myself as an artist every single day.
Kyosuke Himuro teamed up with My Chemical Romance's front man Gerard Way to create one of the BEST songs I have heard in quite awhile. It's filled with beautiful emotive melody and the song alone has given me a lot of inspiration and drive. The lyrics are beautiful as well. So much smiles right now - I want them to continue forever. I will be finishing a project by the end of July that has been going on for so long. Then maybe I can slowly put the saddened saturation sentiment behind and that album and move towards more smiles. Because My goal is to not only express myself in as MANY ways as I can, but like I was by this song and many other things right now, I want to pass on that creative inspiration and energy to inspire others to wake up and breathe and create art that expresses them.
Check out the song SAFE AND SOUND video HERE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5I7m_t3hZ4
FANTASTIC. ALRIGHT! LET'S ROCK!
