oo did we meet our deadline?

no.

we're still working on the rufcut. probably be done today. i'm getting real sick of looking at these nudey computer generated twentysomethings i tell u .. i put a shirt on sophie in one scene and it felt great to give her some digital dignity back. sheesh...

heres an email i wrote to my sound designer.

"
hey paul,

that "sophie. sophie love." wav u sent me doesn't sound like theres anything done to it??

i really need that o connell st file.

i've listened to the first hallucination scene and had some thoughts. you were right about me not really giving you enough direction so here we go.

ALL of brian's dialogue in the audio i gave you should be completely fucked and unlistenable building up to an unbearablly busy high pitched electric shriek on "i annoy the shit out of you"- its this sound that makes her scream and attack brian- this scream should start off loud and shrieky as it is still part of the hallucination. and shrink down into silence after 2 seconds so its leads into a pause of silence when shes holding him down against the bed

the hallucinations come back when he says "sophie whats wrong?"- they must be the worst yet- like what the character would sound like if he was a male banshee.

i would avoid clipping the audio as well and i need it very clear with no fuzz in the background.

i really like the little sounds in the background between the lines, keep those, but try and create most of the hallucination from just the sound i gave you.

"

look at me being a director n all, directin people.
again, this is stuff i just should have told him when we met but again i assume that people know whats goin on in my head and i let em do their thing before i end up asking them to do it again with this and that in mind... but i get to see whats goin on in their mind first which is handy.


meeting today about what the hell we're gonna do when this film is finished and we all revert back to breadline life again. where did i leave my social security card...

at least we get to do all Caribou's visuals and music videos again this year (formerly known as Manitoba). which is ace coz his tunes are rad and we can make beleive we're in a band and act all london.
