RODEO? pushed back

We had to push the shooting date of the rodeo video, which often happens with these things. This time, I actually have actors! and I'm not in it! A british guy named Leo and my yoga/dance/actor friend Julia. Should be fun.
I lifted weights this morning. Though it was only for a very short time, I imagine I'll be feeling it tomorrow. I've not been so great about keeping up with the exercise routine.

The heaters are on which helps clothes to dry faster, and I get to wear comfy sweaters outdoors. Hello new weather.

Super8

Beginning the very early formulation of a Super8 experimental/abstract short about a woman involving self reflection and society(...probably)

RODEO?

The new 30sec series short will hopefully be shooting this wednesday, oct. 14. More elements to get together this time: a restaurant location, 4 actors(only 2 as the featured folks), and lights(can you imagine?).
Had a dream about a serial killer who tattoos a burning paw on the inside of his victims upper eye lid.

I woke up this morning with two scratches near my eye, and one on my throat.

THE ALCHEMIST MAKES GOLD - POST PRODUCTION *STAGE 1* Completed!

So, I picked up the Alchemist film yesterday and now it sits in a heap on my floor. Well, a neatly arranged heap of carefully considered boxes of consciously coiled film. Anyway, that's stage one. It's out of the fridge and safe. My new plan is to raise enough money to get it transferred to SD(about 1/3 the cost of HD) and edit that as a first full rough cut, then I can submit the rough cut to finishing film grants(as they tend to require rough cuts) and potentially raise enough money to have the film transferred to HD.

Now, on to PHASE TWO! The transfer of film to SD...
Trust me, I'm reeaal excited.

THE ALCHEMIST MAKES GOLD - POST PRODUCTION in stages

I've raised enough money to have the Alchemist film developed, though not yet enough to have it transferred to HD. Today I'm taking the film over to PostWorks NYC where I'm dropping it off for development. I have the first 3 rolls developed, but there are 5 more that need developing-those are the ones I'm taking.

The first 3 rolls of film were from the woods of PA, where the Alchemist encounters the Woman.

The last 5 rolls are from a basement in Phila, PA, known as the Alchemist's Apartment, where the Alchemist boils chemicals and works toward forming Gold.

I need to raise about $1500 to have the film transferred to HD. I've started up a paypal donation option, that is how I've obtained some funding. The site is http://www.caitdavis.com/amg.html
