How y'all doing?

Bradley L Marlow · October 26th, 2007, 04:58 AM

Well, after all that work it doesn't look like I'll make it. (sigh)

Bill - glad to hear things are looking up and know I'm sending you folks good vibes.

Lorinda and Greg B?!? Whoa! Look out for that one.

Meryem! Zombies are cool.

Hugh! C'mon man. You can do it!

Travis Johnson · October 26th, 2007, 07:08 AM

Shot last night and it was amazing! Had so much fun directing and will have even more fun tonight editing. This is not only my first DV Challenge but the first time I've really directed and it was such a great experience. Thanks so much to Dylan and all the others involved with the DV Challenge. You've definitely influenced me so much. I've got more initiative now to shoot when I can instead of waiting for weekend shoots.

well, i disagree with that...anyone who needs zombie footage can still come over to my house and shoot me shuffling off to the coffee pot first thing in the morning...

coooffeee...coooooooffeeeee.

bradley, if you end up on the Wall, i will lose faith in all that is good and right in the world...or, to quote you directly, "Nooooooooooooo....!"

Try Audition or SoundForge or one of the other audio editing programs next time. They allow you to eliminate noise fairly well with various filters and noise sampling options.

Mine is in the can, but I won't upload it to youtube until this weekend.

Travis Johnson · October 26th, 2007, 09:17 AM

Sound Forge with the Sony Noise reduction plugin FTW

Glad you're having such a great time with your first DVC, Travis. Can't wait to see your movie!

Keep slashin', dear Bradley...you can do it! :)

:D Thanks! I can't wait to show it!

Lead actress got sick, no viable replacement. We like the concept enough to do it later next week anyway. Such is life.

Marco Wagner · October 26th, 2007, 12:29 PM

So we're filming tonight - for the first time I am NOT going insane with details, plans, ideas etc. Seems like all that takes more time than just turning the camera on and going for it. So i have a killer, a nanny and some killer (pun) surprises. Today is the 26th, Friday the 13th + 13 - a full moon too, should be interesting... Either this will work out time wise or we'll just have a lot of fun and some drunken pyscho footage to laugh at....

Hugh DiMauro · October 26th, 2007, 01:21 PM

Thanks, Brad. I haven't given up just yet. But please, keep trimming. Post anything. We wanna see Brad and Wally! It's the people, not so much the story.

Bill, forgive my earlier failure to wish you a safe return to an undamaged home. I wish the best for Ronn as well.

James Huenergardt · October 26th, 2007, 01:28 PM

Well, my motherboard went out on my video production computer so I'm out of business until Monday. I have a new board coming, but it won't help me for this DV Challenge.

Oh well...

Travis Johnson · October 26th, 2007, 04:21 PM

Alright well here's a bit of a sneak peek so to say. This was a photo taken on set last night.

Bradley L Marlow · October 27th, 2007, 04:50 AM

Thanks Meryem, Hugh and Lorinda from Spudville. I really appreciate all the kind words and proding. I'm still up, editing away.

The crew of 2 and 1/2 peeps put so much energy and effort into this film that I don't have the heart to give up now. So, instead, I seem to have taken up smoking Camels again, limiting myself to one chicken pot pie a day and like Meryem, I chug down loads of thick black coffee. I'll keep at it.

Speaking of Zombies, I should be a shoe-in for the part.

PS: Love the sneak peak Travis. Looks like you guys are having a blast! :)

Jesse Steele · October 27th, 2007, 10:58 AM

Looks like it's the wall for me!! I'm directing a high school play and I was gonna attempt to squeeze in the dvc but alas the editing computer decided to blow it's mother board!!!! So I'll see u guys in dec! best of luck!

Lorinda Norton · October 27th, 2007, 11:26 AM

Sorry to hear about your troubles, Jim and Jesse. That makes two motherboards and now the hard drive I loaded my crap, I mean, my clips on late last night. What is it with this challenge? Gremlins?
