I had no idea what to name this post…can you tell? Ok on with what matters…
Well I guess I’ll start off with some news that is happy/sad. I won’t be able to go to Texas this Spring. For those of you who don’t know I was going to work on Heumoore Productions new film on-set for 6 weeks. Unfortunately, that isn’t possible anymore. I’ll still be working on the marketing/web/etc. for the film, but I won’t be on-set to work on it physically. It just isn’t wise for me to take 6 weeks out of my Spring to work on this film when I have so much to do on Standing Firm. A little bit ago I went along with the idea I was going because I wasn’t completely sure whether or not this would be a problem, and now I can see it will be. There is too much to do, and not enough time to get it all done. Six weeks of time off would be foolish and poor decision making on my part. So…that’s that.
I will however be taking a trip down south for a week or so to see my parents in GA and hopefully due to some recent developments go somewhere else while I’m there…I won’t say where yet lol. I’ll just wait and see what God does. So I am going to get out of NY, but not for that amount of time, I just can’t afford it. When your finishing up a feature film alone, distributing it, marketing it, etc. 6 weeks off is ludicrous lol.
Speaking of Standing Firm I listened to the first mix of Reel 1 today from Mark Stocker. It sounded great!
A few notes but it was all piddly stuff. The mix was awesome, and besides the balancing of the final score later on with the final sound, it’s pretty darn close to what it’ll be when it’s done. Very cool
The score is also moving along, and I’ll be looking at what hopefully will be the final cue sheet very soon. Then the actual music creation will begin!
I have a lot of work to do…phew. It’s all going to pay off though. That first email that comes in “God used your film to X in my life, or my friends, etc.” That’s the pay off…I can’t wait. I’m looking forward to that day.
So yea life is moving along. My Spring is now open and free for me to finish the film. That means I’ll be home for my birthday this year (last year I spent it in my new apartment in Los Angeles…alone lol). I have lots to pray for, sin to weed out, projects to work on, a girlfriend to spend time with
, etc. etc. Busy year
