| Last night we got to see the 48 Hour Film Project film that I got to work on this weekend, as well as half of the rest of the films from the San Francisco project. 22 teams took part, every last one of them finished a film (which I believe is a first), 15 of them got in before the deadline (not including ours which was 1/2 hour late). Each film had to have a character named Hugh Simon who was a bouncer, a vinyl record used as a prop, and the following line of dialogue: "I've been lied to, and very much deceived." The way we incorporated those was that the paralyzed guy's name was Hugh Simon and he had been a bouncer before his accident. At one point Dave, the body he has taken over, puts on a record, and the line is well incorporated into the dialogue. Other films revolved the story around some of these elements. There was a mystery about a spate of DJ murders. There was a horror about a girl who was slashed with a record. There was a comedy about this apartment that had a bouncer in front. There were two films where the line "I've been lied to and very much deceived" was sung. While some of the films looked or sounded better than others, all of them were really funny, and amazing in that they were all completed in a weekend. |
Politics, film, pop culture, whatever I feel like posting is what you will likely find here. Originally started as the production diary for my first film, this blog has since taken on a life and death and rebirth of its own. Come for the opinions and stay for the sarcasm.
