Today was another early morning coloring In The Blink of an Eye @ PureFlix. I got there an hour later than usual because I found it a little harder to get up this morning. My body has been freaking out a little since I got here. Lots of different sleeping habits, overloads of new foods in different quantities than I’m used to, and other small life changes. When Vance got in I moved to my office and got to work on other small things that needed to be done. Book of Ruth seems to be going along fine although because of Blink I haven’t touched it for a little bit. I went through the whole edit and fixed up any audio issues filling gaps and transitioning audio tracks together. Sometimes when you shoot a film no matter what you do the amount of noise in a signal is high. It’s hard to get a fat signal and low noise, which is why sound men get paid what they do. It really saves you later. Every place in a room sounds different and if the mic is in the same place in a room and tilted just a little it’ll still sound different. The way sound works and bounces takes years to master and old sound guys really work from experience. Towards the end of my day we all went to lunch as The Islands, another place I haven’t been to. I hadn’t had a really beefy burger since I got here. I had fast food type burgers but not like a big juicy amazing slab of cow. This burger was awesome…AWESOME. I’m so glad I got it instead of something mexican.
After I got home from work I got working on a few odd things that I needed done. Facebook, Twitter, the Standing Firm edit, emails, articles, etc. all needed some work. I pretty much did that stuff from the time I got home until now (it’s about 9:22pm PST) and just got done with my last email. I got a response back today about the Memphis opportunity and I won’t elaborate today (I know you hate me lol). After I call them tomorrow to talk about the email, ask some questions, etc. I’ll tell everyone what it is, what it’s for, if it’s going to happen or not, and all that jazz. You’ll just have to wait!
All things considered I’m very excited about this summer. So much great stuff is going to be happening, no matter what I’m doing as a job. Standing Firm should really get some traction once I get a presentable cut to some friends. I have two major places to pitch the film, both linked to Sony Pictures and I have direct contact with both so I feel a lot better. Most films unless given to the right person just end up on a pile and your left sitting by your computer/phone hoping for a phone call. In this case I know these people and will know it gets to the right folks, and in this case…one of them IS the right person. I look forward to seeing what God does with this movie. I saw so many miracles happen last year in this films shooting as did many on the cast/crew and others who kept up with the events online. God has a purpose for this movie, and I believe it’s beyond some burned DVD-R’s sold on our website. I think he’s going to take this film much farther than that.
I want to share more but gotta keep my mouth shut…ttyl folks. Check back tomorrow.
