I don't see Cloud Atlas making a lot of money; worldwide, I think it'll be ok. But in the U.S? No way in hell. I think that the Wachowski's had massive potentials to be the next James Cameron. Because James Cameron is the greatest filmmaker; he's made films that everyone wants to watch and has films make billions of dollars worldwide.
I know this blog posting won't be that long. I am heading out of town either tonight or tomorrow morning and I have to get ready for the trip. Will be filming some B-Roll footage of Columbus to have it double for New York City in "CAMPAIGN". I got the shirt needed for filming the other day and it looks perfect. The test photos in the shirt also look amazing. That's why I posted the "CENSORED" photo above. I'm gathering the crew together and things are looking to be pretty good.
I am moving in to my new home at the beginning of November and I will be looking at getting a second job to help support myself. That means that I will be giving up the internet for a while, but, I will be off doing what I love in the mean time. And speaking of being off the internet; since the monitor is fried on my laptop, I will not be taking it with me this weekend to Columbus. So, whatever footage that I'll be posting of the "CAMPAIGN" B-Roll will not be up until the early hours of Monday.
Since I am still rusty on Sony Vegas, I have been going in and slowly remastering my old film class PSA's in 720p HD. It's been tough, but fun. Below is the PSA I did called Ouch... Wear Sunscreen. It was filmed in November of 2006 and I had been back in Hawaii for about five months. I acted, co-produced, and was one of the editors on it. I only had the final cut in standard definition and none of the raw footage because it doesn't exist anymore. Luckily, I had that and not the television recording which I had on my old Youtube channel. With the remaster, I added some grain to give it a film-like look. Also, added a bit of yellow tinting to the image to help even out the harsh blue from my old miniDV camera. Even though it was a film class assignment, I actually brought my own equipment to shoot with because I didn't want to waste time on taking stuff from the studio. And finally went in scene-by-scene and re-framed it from 4:3 to 16:9. It looks good considering I blew it up from 640x360 to 1280x720 in terms of resolution.
And above is the old television recording that only managed to survive off of Youtube. I had a hard drive crash and sadly all of the television recordings were lost except for Crisis. Even the Depression Hurts PSA was lost too. I don't even have a digital file for that one, I only acted in it and couldn't find the miniDV from that group's collection of projects to make my own copy. I have all of the PSA's that I worked on except for one where I did a voice over impersonation of Foghorn Leghorn. I've been asking around for it and all of the people who I know that worked on it do not have a copy. So, I've officially called it "lost". It's a shame because I really felt proud of that impression.
I have also been listening to the Silent Hill: Book of Memories soundtrack off of Youtube. The Book of Memories version of Love Psalm is pretty damn good. Mary Elizabeth McGlynn is changing my views on her with everything that went down on that Silent Hill: HD Collection release. Daniel Licht is also doing a good job of composing the music. And two more weeks until Silent Hill: Revelations 3D hits theaters! Must refresh myself on Silent Hill 3 before I get around to seeing the movie. Also, I've been keeping my eyes out on a poster for the new movie. I have an autographed mini-poster of the first film and would like to get keep the tradition going for this one.
