Quick Update
After Friday’s feedback we managed to squeeze in an additional viewing (I’ve probably mentioned this already) today and it went a lot better than I’d expected. I’d be lying if I said that there wasn’t a part of me that was worried that they’d hate it - actually I don’t give a fuck about the Bitch Monster’s opinion but the guy we were showing it too knows his stuff and since this revised version was entirely mine, rejection would’ve been a bitter pill to swallow.
That said it’s not perfect, but then I knew that going in. Tomorrow afternoon I’ve asked a friend of mine - she’s a year ahead of me, doing her Honours in film Editing - to come in tomorrow and have a look at our film. Get an objective opinion. Hopefully we’ll be able to get back onto the right track.
Eitherway I need to get this damned thing sorted out by tomorrow - early Thursday the latest - so Sound can do her thing.
Oh, and the scene - you know, the one that'll make people go "PORNO" has been cut and someone is going to have to do some serious convincing before I even entertain the idea of putting it back in again. I mean really, the whole thing was just in such bad taste.
Which is kind of ironic coming from me, I guess, given the stuff I read in my spare time.
But, honestly, I cut it for two reasons: 1. length (it ran on for 2 mins, which is a fifth of our film) and 2. made no sense - essentially she wakes up from a dream, is extremely rattled, and then proceeds to crawl out of her bed and rub against everything within reach. Nobody has given me a good enough reason to keep it in - and no: BUT I WANT IT! doesn't count as a valid reason. Except maybe when you're three and even then it's a bit iffy.
I need my Titus Welliver/Mark Pellegrino/Lucifer/Nick/Roger/War/Jacob/Man-In-Black and any and all variants thereof (with Gabriel thrown in somewhere, possibly with Castiel, Richard and Misha - oh, and Mark S. In fact, they can just throw a great big party okay? Okay) to take my mind off things. I am now well and truly over this project and the people involved in it.
...Caffeine: Mark P's accent is so absurdly adorable. Man though, that guy's gotten around huh? He's like the Where's Wally of film.
Oh, LJ's selling lemurs now? But no unicorns? I am disappointed.
