render me this. Mar 30, 2008 06:03PM

so the film for the sfc at cannes is two rendering steps, and one compressor step away, im waiting on 7 minutes of footage from new york to plug in, ivan finished the song, "black and white" last nite, holy shit, the boy kills it, it sounds scripted, of course hes seen the movie probably as many times as me, but hes never seen apocalypse now, or HOD, and he gave me fourteen minutes of pure fucking amazingness, the backstory is is the guitar he plays it on, HE BUILT!!! (in the time we've know each other!!!) hand tools, river water, my challenge, its the most beautiful guitar ive ever seen, and the fourteen minutes, i plugged in beginning to end of film and it just sits perfect, yes slight level adjustments, but i move and he moves, its synced, maybe its living in a submarine. well the credits are done, and im just waiting on the video from NYC (or Boston depending where it is) and its done done done, well the short version is, off to cannes by the time i arrive in Paris, or while im there. im going to paris, berlin, and the netherlands for a short break, the louvre (the new kiefer permanent piece), pompidou (a show on iraq war), kathe KOLLWITZ museum is two feet from my hotel in berlin, checkpoint charlie (peter your bars might go there?) but ill be out of touch for about 2 weeks, painting 180ft (60m) is about all i have left to sketch out.... its getting somewhere?

waiting for... Mar 18, 2008 07:13PM

in 6 hours the dvd will be in the mail on the way to paris, for the judging at cannes, im sending a work copy just based on time constraints and my naivete at producing a movie however short all by myself. the movie cannot be shown on the internet because of "world premiere" standards etc, so this page is just about whats going on in the world of shaun as a director, jack of all trades, master of... so, im going to check my encoding, and hopefully burn the disc within the next 20 minutes so i can get to sleep, and once it goes in the mail i can finally start painting again, the whole reason for this "enterprises" existence.
