Testing Today

So today I go out to find our exact location in the woods to shoot.

Then we're going to wait until dark and light a campfire like in the script, and do some tests to see just how the camera(and an iphone) react under those conditions. See how the clown suit looks, because it's dark blue.

If it comes off too dark, I'll have to recast the clown so we can use one of the lighter suits.

I also thought about a cool promo pic we can shoot while we're out there.

Then for fun we're just gonna shoot Mike's gun at something in slow motion at night, see what that looks like.

---------

List of things still to do:
--Figure out the clown's makeup. My brother's been working on some designs, but it's hard to commit since we're not even positive which costume we'll be using.
--Cast two(maybe three) parts. I've asked a guy to play one of the parts and I think he'll take it. Then we still need the girl who's gonna flash her boobies, and another guy. I had asked one guy but now he's asking about SAG and shit, so I think he's out. The girl is more important right now because I gotta get her to Mark for a head cast.
--Figure the car sitch. Need a certain kind of car for the opening scene--it's very short, about a page
--Still working on figuring out that special effect at the end
--Take my tripod to Mark's so he can cast the legs.
--Gotta figure out how many sleeping bags I can get my hands on. I ain't buying a bunch for just two nights. I know my kid's got one. I bet my brother has two or three. Two more and I think I'm good. I need 6 total.

Remember that new Bounty trailer I put up last week? Did some pimping on it, and it's at almost 3500 views...that's pretty awesome for such a short time.

Remember when I said I sent a new letter to that HH serial killer? Got a letter back from him. Weird dude. Wants to meet me. Didn't answer any of my actual questions. He's unsure about an interview. I can tell ya I don't wanna drive 8 hours(4 up/4 back) just to meet him.

Weirdly, just got contacted by someone at the D Channel(same guys who licensed a clip from HH for a show), and there's a NEW show that wants to use a clip. They want it for free. I reply, nope. $100 gets ya a clip.

They said okay. So, sweet! I can retire now.
