I forgot the rest of it...

Storyboards... I know it's late!

Well, here's some of the storyboard...

LSD Trip Ideas

Toward the end of last class, I was describing how I plan on using different layers in the editing software to give "The Lizard" more of an experimental approach.


I slapped this together on Sony Vegas using footage I found online. It's just a basic idea that eventually will be extended. Open for any input, comments, critiques.


With Final Cut Pro I will have "more room" to explore as the software I used is a little basic when it comes to layers and composite modes.

In case the Blogger video doesn't work...

It's nothing special like I said, just an idea that needs to be extended so throw me some fresh ideas and what not :)

Administrative Rights

I have given all of you the ability to alter or add to this site as you see fit. The only rule is that you do not remove the work of others.

Good Luck Tomorrow

Hey guys good luck tomorrow on the shoot. I'll try to make it next time.

I was experimenting with with those Light Shows that I downloaded from Youtube, they look pretty dope. I downloaded a few but post a link if you find anything else you think we should use! (best from youtube and in high quality but doesn't have to)

Thanks, see you all Friday.

Friday's Class

I think we need to pre-plan Friday's class a bit.

Personally I will be editing the footage because I fell behind this week cause I've been busy with other classes.

So are we filming anything? I'll try to get some establishing shots on Thursday (ex. the Office, the park, etc.)

Oh and Jon already filmed the footage for the tripping sequence (naked girl covered in blood) so at least we have some footage for the Lizard :)

I dont remember talking about 8:30 on a saturday morning at all. but sure. ill be there in the morning.

skeet

I suppose tomorrow we are all meeting at 830 in the school parking lot, i hope everyone gets this, but i doubt we picked up the cameras and etc. so someone post up what they think.

working script

the actor hangs up the phone

the manger frantically tries to dial the number back

again and again but no answer

he is sweating in a way that only a man in deathly desperation would do

undoing his shirt and pacing inside his office talking to himself

trying to figure a way out of this

all the while his secretary has been listening

she begins to spread the gossip and the calls start rolling in to the manager

MANAGER

School is closed tomorrow but I'm still going to meet in the parking lot at 1:00pm and wait around for about a half hour. Someone who knows whats down, let me know as soon as possible. :]

Script Update

I have asked Earl to join us here at the blog and to post whatever script he has to this point. By tomorrow we should have a pretty good idea of where we stand. Keep watching the skies. - Tom

Welcome

I hope you have all received the invitations and are signed on to write on the blog. Feel free to adjust this site any way you want (add gadgets, etc.). If our writer is in Guam we have to get busy on a script for next weekend. Let me know.
