Clip 2 in the bag

Posted on 2:12 PM by Rob

Finished watching clip o2 of the Ciraulo brothers today on my sick day. They discussed metal girlfriends, Tee shirts being sent to Iraq and gave a brief tour of their shared bedroom. Andrew's presentation of his Maiden shirts should cut nicely with Herman's display from our original youtube rough clip that Eric put together with the ACDC soundtrack. Will hit clip 3 tomorrow and hope to finish the complete session by the Thanksgiving holiday.

Viewing selects session 1

Posted on 8:38 PM by Rob

Just completed my first round of pulling rough selects from the Ciraulo brothers shoot tonight. After 2 clips I am happy with what I am viewing. Some off camera laughter is distracting at times but the shots and sound quality are otherwise crisp and clear. Pulled 9 sections out of about 10 minutes of straight filming: They wax about malls, early vs. new metal, non-productivity of teen life and the perils of being a metal kid in NJ.


Another session tomorrow and more posts.

New progress for the fall

Posted on 1:40 PM by Rob

Eric drops off the footage Monday and the select viewing will begin for the feature edit. With luck, I will be in a good position by the winter holiday to see an assembly of a rough viewing of Ginkers. I've lost most of my original archival photos when the Mac crashed two weeks back, along with all of my original scripts and pictures. As a result, I am in a massive rebuilding zone.


The live-action Ginkers script, now with the working title, "The Turnpike" is in progress. I've re-booted the opening prologue and act I from memory and am happy with the way it is taking shape with the development of a voice for James and Thomas that was eluding me on the original draft.

Downloaded Cetx software for this draft and while I abhor settings that keep me confined, working in the limits is helping me see the visuals of the project more as I write.

Will post updates to the selects viewing in a few weeks as it moves ahead.
