I Let My Fists Do The Talkin’

It’s hot as hell in my room, though rather pleasant when I went outside. I’d imagine my computer is putting out most of the heat.

I’m editing two different pilots right now. Editing them myself, totally, for the first time since film school so I’m trying to remember how to do this crazy thing.

The first pilot we shot on Wednesday at Mitch’s studio. It’s called Welcome to My Study and here’s a salacious still to get your heart racing for the next 102, which we plan to submit it for.

I’ll say this for the show… it’s extremely odd. It has a great theme song that Mitch wrote and Joe McGinty arranged/recorded for us. The set built in the studio looks amazing. Mitch couldn’t be creepier in the role. Look forward to it not being voted back at this month’s Channel 102… if indeed it even is shown.

The other pilot, tentatively titled Hugh Bue until I come up with something more documentarian, sounding is going to have a lot more shooting dates in its future. The concept is a recluse sci-fi author comes out of retirement to publish his first new novel in 15 years. We shot the publisher’s office scene last weekend. The show is almost completely improvised which is going to make it a double black diamond “difficult” cutting job.

Here’s Anthony Atamanuik doing what he does in this clip of raw footage (specially filtered through YouTube’s propriatary “make everything look like shit” compression:

So, my 3-day weekend will be spend tanning in front of Final Cut.
