Calvin Island Status

More on my running commentary on the state of Calvin Island, which will be most of what I think about until the screening comes around. The movie does not actually have the character of Frank Calvin anymore, giving the name somewhat less point. I've never come up with a better name though so that's the name it stays with. It's like Isolation, which was a place holder name that never got changed.

The last few days we've spent a large amount of time getting the damn music sorted out for it. Getting music for a movie is not the easiest task in the world. Luckily I had some really knowledgeable people helping get the music to work properly. It's either find music or make it in Garage Band or Soundtrack, and unless you are really good, that music sounds like crap. I'm still in the process of deciding whether Jack's rendition of 'Up Where we Belong' or the equally brilliant 'Why are there so many songs about rainbows?' should go in.

Also, John, who played Frank in Calvin Island may actually have his movie done for this year's film screening, which is pretty cool since I remember shooting it about this time last year, and it's cost him a couple thousand dollars. It's about twenty minutes long so it should be pretty cool.

I put in a few more making of photos here. Still camera photos look a lot better than DV even at the same resolution. The last one is during post production during the music decision making process. Getting closer and closer to the screening it is. Hopefully there are no or at least few overly painful moments left in the movie come judgement day, or screening day, same thing really.
