Episode 2, First Cut...

Monday, June 23, 2008 | 9:44 PM

John and I dug into episode 2 today.

This one has a good comedy base so we were giggling all day. It's really interesting how different the first two episodes feel. I know that they were written that way and that I shot them to play different but you never really know until you start cutting. There are three moments in this one that I know should pop a laugh out of just about anyone... not bad for a 5 minute short.

We also sent off the promo material today, that is all the shots and moments that IFC will be using to cut together all the commercials and promotions for the show. I spent the weekend color correcting the material (along with writing some extra music for episode one) and it was really gratifying to see everyone very pleased with how the footage looks when it's been shaken down to the proper levels and color looks.

Tomorrow I have to shoot a small pickup for episode two and finish storyboards for a motion graphics into to the series... I started out in design and it never seems to fail that there is a moment in each project where I have to break out Photoshop again... and again. ;)

Finally I have to continue with my Stu-smearing campaign... did you know that Stu once killed a man, just to watch him die? It's true. Johnny Cash wrote a song about it. That's right, I'm outing Stu... he's 60 years old. ;)
