Welcome to the madness
This week I would like to welcome the first member of the Mary Men production team, a mister Todd. Todd will be coming on board as my producer.
Now I have no idea what a producer would do on other productions, but Todd has some very big jobs on this production. The biggest thing is he needs to keep me on task. Thats right, it will be a hard job, but he is forced to keep me from taking to much time on any one thing.
The second job is of course to find me money... I love money. but mostly this is to make our movie kick ass... since with out money it is just me pointing a camera at kids in their own clothes.
Okay, not that the introductions are over...
Last week I mentioned that I was transcribing my script, page by FREAKING page.
This is a long and painful process. Now, I may have been done the actual script over a month ago, but that doesn't mean that the process was over. There have been many edits that have been needed to be made, most of them have been made. The real issue is that when written in the script format, one page of dialague runs about one minute on film. In order to be able to tell how long my movie will actually run, I need to make sure to put it in script format.
Thankfully there is a great program that will allow me to do it with out even having to think about the process. The aptly named Script Maker is a free download... wich makes it my favorite thing in the world... FREE IS AWSOME.
The problem is that after writing the script for 2 months it is a pain in the god-damn ass to write it ALL OVER AGAIN. So, as a warning to all future film makers... if you are going to do it, DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.
Is it over? No! I still have more to write... so untill next week. Aw, god... fuck off, all of you.
