As the deadline for art-o-matic quickly approaches (t-minus 2 days now), I picked up a cutaway shot last night, and did some work getting the paperwork for using people's music taken care of. I got contracts out to Spur, the Nighties, and Grandma's Mini and will be working on others after Thursday. I still need a song to lead into the fight scene since the song that I'm using temporarilly is way out of our price range. Michael Jackson, if you're reading this, please let us use Beat It for free. Once we have a rough cut submitted, there will be more time to mess with songs and stuff. For now I have a bit more editing to do, putting in some transitions between the scenes already cut and cutting a few more small scenes. Elizabeth hooked us up with a friend who has a dv deck so mastering will be that much easier. Now I just hope that my second firewire drive will be able to export video without choking on a computer other than my own. Otherwise, I'm open to suggestions.
