Couple of notes: First, this is not a spoiler, as Lauren's character isn't established before her scene. Second, this entire part became a deleted scene that you can see online right here. It all takes place before the main events in the movie, so I feel okay putting it up. Also I apologize but I seem to curse an awful lot in my diary... Day 4(11/10/2010): Holy Shit, we made a day First

Hey, if you like reading raw, brutally-honest diaries then you might like the new "Bounty" blog I've begun recently! Check it out if you like reading about misery in filmmaking! Day 2(11/8/10): If you thought Day One was bad... At the Cloister’s Castle. Knew it was gonna be a bad day when I couldn’t remember Jared(the D.P.’s) name when I opened my phone to call him. I mean, I’ve only worked

 Some of the extras, which in this case is 1 extra, the writer/producer(Luke), half of the FX team(Kaleigh, the prettier half), and a grip. (Habib!) So I don't normally do this. I wait until WAY after a movie is past to begin posting diary entries. Hell, the Bounty diary still hasn't seen the light of day... That's for various reasons. From simply not wanting to revisit the misery so soon to not

Work continues! The picture is locked, and now we're hard at work on the sound. Sound plays a huge part of any good movie, and it's a place where a lot of no-budget filmmakers skimp, but I tend to put some significant work into it. You know, when I'm not watching American Horror Story and playing Skyrim. I'm joking, but only sort of. And for those wondering--and in case I didn't say it--we

Looping audio is about 90% complete. Foley work to begin shortly. Am also working on the trailer for GOH. Odds are good that the movie will be complete by December, but we probably won't premiere it until March or April, as scheduling a premiere and getting snowed out is expensive. But you can expect to see a scene from GOH within a month, and the trailer could be before that.

This is a picture of me trying to get Richard Cutting in for looping... Exported a smaller version of the movie in Quicktime, loaded it onto a flash drive and shipped it to master composer Chad Seiter. He got it this week and called me. I'm happy to report he liked it a lot, and got it, which is something I was a bit worried about. See, the story is pretty complicated... He's very excited to

Okay, been a hectic 6 weeks. Lot of personal stuff cropping up to get in the way of filmmaking, which is par for the course on low-budget shoots. And when you're a one-man post-production crew, when you get busy, the movie stops. I have a complete cut of "Garden of Hedon". The film has been restructured a bit. They say films are made in the edit room, and the degree of truth in that differs from

Still plugging away at the edit. I took a week off to go to Vegas, but am now back at it. I have one and a half scenes left to the rough edit. The current scene I'm in is kind of the big climax, so it's taking a while to edit. I just did 81 cuts in a 56 second time period. So yeah, there's some flashy editing in this one. The ADHD crowd is gonna love it. :) Today's Who's Spiking features the

Actor/Director Joe Ripple...he said method acting was the reason he had to drink the whole bottle.---------------Been busting my hump editing. One scene in particular kicked my ass--the pickup that we shot in a Baltimore warehouse. Took me four straight days to edit. And that's the rough cut. I'm now three scenes from being done the rough cut. Two big scenes and one small scene. Put them on

Been rolling lately--am up to scene 86 on the rough cut. I think I have a pretty good chance of getting the rough cut done by March 31st, which is sort of what I was aiming at. Then I will go back in and take a closer look at each scene, trimming and fixing minor sound issues, laying in ambients. I will begin marking "issues", things that will need fixing or possible pickup shots, along with

It also involves Ryan Thomas getting a BJ It was another tough night, and the scene has some problems. We had a problem with a shot where Danielle throws up--her hair

Many will recognize filmmaker David Cross(though perhaps not sober, as he's pictured here on the set of GOH :)------------------First 43 minutes of GOH is rough-edited together. It's got some good and some bad. I am, of course, my harshest critic. I think a lot of it is fixable through flashy editing, which was not my original intention, but so much for intentions... Still, would REALLY like to

I know...I been neglectful here. Here's your updates--I've rough cut the first twelve scenes of GOH. That's right, about 20 minutes of GOH in a row! All of the audio has been imported and cut into individual take files which--believe me--is one of the least fun things to do. I'm probably going to cut a few more scenes before I pull together some clips for a teaser. We had been asked last month

Fellow filmmaker Joe Ripple helped me out by taking some cool pics on set when he could make it out. I'll be putting them up here on occasion. I have a rough edit of scenes 1-5 for GOH, and am pulling clips for a teaser. Tonight though, we do a drunken commentary track for "Bounty". Our only wish, that Tom Proctor could be here with us.

Been busy with a number of things, and though I shouldn't be working on it right now with what else I have to do, I found myself compelled to do a rough-cut of the 1st five scenes on GOH. Too early to talk about, but here's some random un-color-correct frame captures from the movie. Have a great New Year's!

So it was a crazy week. We went out in the 21 degree night and shot a fight scene with two actors who couldn't wear coats in the scene. (2 and 6/8 pages done) I think they had fun, regardless of how much whining they did. Then this weekend we polished off 13 and 2/8 pages. One more big pickup(technically one scene, but it's like 9 pages and contains a big fight and 1 heavy effect) is all

A side note...the new edit computer is ready for action. Today I actually start taking a look at footage. Kind of excited, but also pretty scared to see what we missed. But me and Harvey Glatman got some tricks up our sleeve, so I'm sure it'll be cool.
