got a better idea do you need a static angle? or dynamic? if static, then, i can take a picture w/ my digital camera of my clock and send it to you
all you have to do is send me an example of a clock shot
how bout you bring the camera on saturday when you come over for the party?

It's a static angle but the times will change. So we'll see it at five, then it will skip ahead seven minutes very quickly and pause. Then the day will change, etc. Maybe not that random but things will certainly move so it isn't just looking at a straight time for some seconds. They won't move so much as to be distracting. It might be a difficult thing to strike a balance to.

It would look tacky if it was a still being used. Even though it is a static shot with no movement, it does look different when it is a still photograph as opposed to a 5-second shot.

So all that remains are a few clock shots and the credits sequences from Skywalker. The clocks should be done on Friday. Edit on Saturday. (Tentative, just putting it out there, not seriously)
Also: I would like Eric to make a CD or DVD of the cut as it is so far so I can watch it. I'll pick it up the next time we meet to discuss BS.

Do you still need a couple more clocks? Because I have two that I could bring over one day this week, if you need them.

No, actually I was able to film what should hopefully be the last two clocks at Timothy's house today. When I return from London that should be the only things remaining. (Meaning Skywalker should send in his clip as soon as convenient.)
As for the voices I have something in mind, a program called Zerius Vocoder. Because I'll be gone I can't look into it immediately but if Eric would be so kind...
Also a few questions I was too stunned to ask but should have:
-How was the gore? Effective, distracting, over the top?
-Did you spot all the subliminal title cards? (Should have been two I think, but tell me how many you noticed.)
-How was the pacing?
-About how long was the film?
-Did you get the sense of a world created by the film?
-Did the images makes sense to you? Were they interesting to look at?
-What was the funniest part of the film?
-What was the most serious?
-What was your favorite line or the image that you remember of the film?
-Would you recommend it to people interested in the genre?
Of course, respond only to the questions you have the best answers for.

I think you already know the answer to "What was the funniest part of the movie." Well I think you're lucky. No carpet ever loved me! Sorry, just HAD to... Anyway, the film had some very memorable lines, and the first time I saw that cut to blood thing with the supressed line was shocking the first time I saw it, but upon repeat viewings it isn't as gross.

-Gore: Confusing, actually. If you want to make it less confusing, have a shot of one of the "robots" killing (or about to, like holding a knife or a gun up but not actual killing on-screen) somebody, then have the blood there. Or just take it all out except for when Tom dies. Though I do agree with Kenny; it was shocking at first, but got better as it went on. -Pacing: Pacing went well. As for the time; I really have no idea, but it didn't feel like it was being drawn out, or cut short.

There's nothing I can do about that. It's an artistic experiment and I want to see the broad result.
(The idea is that this is the nightmare of what happens to people but does not actually happen. We see him die at the end. What you see are just alternate ways of his death. Perhaps these are ways in which others have a similar fate...but that's just my take on it.)
Anyway I will need to finish this tomorrow (I have the footage and what you saw won't be too different from the final cut.) So if 2 o'clock to around 4 is acceptable then we will go ahead and finish the movie finally and say that we have one film done. One film, pretty much two months, and a film that was 80% complete to begin with. Disappointing. that's all I have to say.

When I say "completely filled up"... I mean completely. I'll probably be back at midnight.

Sound-timing might end up being more useful than color-timing, most of the changes being subtle. There's better color continuity, trimming out excessive reds resulting in a very minor blue tinge for the film. The new rough cut (NOT rendered), with temp 1-minute end credits reel makes the film 8:24.
Upon reflection, Richie thinks this would have been better if it was shot on cell phone cameras. Personally, I would have opted for spy cameras, but both of us seem to have the same idea on how small of technology we should have used.
