Well, I god a co'd, a bad, bad co'd. So I didn't blog or edit yesterday (students will be happy to know I did grade a little).
Today, however - ! Still snorfling and breathing through my mouth, but my break is already ten days in! Eek. So I'm on the move.
Kevin/Bill's scenes are first up because the dear man has been calling me regularly for five years "just to say hi" - and ask if I could please maybe send him some footage for his reel. Really I think he must be at the point of throwing darts at my picture (if I had ever sent him anything that had me in it, which I haven't). Who could blame him if he were? How much of a loser do his friends think I am, I wonder.
Aaaaghhh!!! Five years! Aaaaaaaa!
Anyway - on Wednesday I looked through all the clips I'd already uploaded from Scene 6 (Davis Square). Man, am I aggravating to watch - stop mumbling! slow down! move your hair! - but Bill had some good moments (when he could remember his lines and the darn audio-crosswalk-signal-for-the-blind wasn't interrupting him).
There are a lot of flares from passing car windshields -- are those fixable? I kind of think they are... ? I hope so. Fixable by who(m)ever I get to clean up my rough cut, not by me -- although I think I'm going to buy that Apple Store one-on-one service come January: I can go in for up to an hour a week and get someone to help me with something, Final Cut included. Yeah, dude.
An hour a week - like well needed therapy.
Today I will look for more of the footage of myself ("Sarah") - blah - to intercut with Bill. Hopefully I'll actually get to cutting today, too. We used TWO cameras this day (thanks to Cynthia Conti); I wonder how we did with ye olde 180-degree rule. Hmmm.
Yes, that day we had Greg Dancer, our DP, on one camera and Cynthia on hers; Jack Martin was doing sound, and Dan Cashmore was doing everything else, I think. Yes? Sound right? There's some neat footage of Jack climbing a city tree to get to an electrical outlet.
Right -- so I'll get to it, then.
Gesundheit,
Rachel

I'll have to see that tree-climbing footage to believe it myself. I'm pretty sure I can count on one hand the number of trees I've climbed to date. All in service to the director. I think the temporary parking permit placard we secured for the day is still in my garage. And wait 'til we start swapping the war stories on that summer's sweltering heat - ridiculous!
Jack! I definitely have that footage of you in the tree -- Shall I add it to the stills on FB?? And I was wondering... Any chance you still have the parking placard??
There is a very good chance I still have the placard. Putting my hands on it is another matter entirely. It was too big to keep in my S&B folder (where I did find our public property occupancy permit for Statue Park). I'll poke around in the likely hiding places in the coming days.
As for the tree-climbing stills, feel free, but be kind.
