July 30, 1997

Didn't get a chance yesterday to call actors regarding scheduling the shoot for this Sunday. I'll need to do this first thing this morning. Offhand it should take half a day, I think. Mostly MOS.

After the B roll stuff is complete it will be time to shift gears completely and to go into post-production mode. The credits and sound will be a priority. It will probably be wise to get all of the materials needed to the editor before the editing process begins. This necessitates coming up with a dirty VHS dub and making a list of everything that's missing, mostly wild sound.

Just remembered I need to figure out what to do about the out of focus take at the batting cage. I need to either reshoot or change it in editing. Pissed with myself that I didn't catch this when I was there, but we were racing the clock at the time. I should be glad that things worked out as smoothly as they did. And it's funny. The solution to the curves I have encounterd always seem to make for a better film (e.g. the Elevator Scene - I find the rewrite stronger than the way it was originally scripted. A better transition to the sex scene.)

Dying to see the B roll footage Monaco tansferred. I'll need to pick it up Thursday.

Whoo, time for bed.
