I love pancakes
I really do. Those ones have been indulged in Big Daddy’s in New York, a fantastic 60’s style cafe close to Union scare. And no I couldn’t help myself with the maple syrup indeed. This was my breakfast.
Yesterday night we have cut a first rough (very rough!) edit of our 60 seconds action feature film. And I have to say: it looks great. Or rather: it looks exactly like we imagined those scenes and as a whole the story works. For us that is, let’s hope it will work for you out there too - a lot is happening in those 60 seconds! I went home at 1.10am, sat in an empty bus on my way home and am still tired. We have hired a composer who is doing his best to deliver a cracking soundtrack, and we have still hope to find a special effects/animator too.
We shot some green screen sequences which is going to look amazing and generally, we are quite pleased with how it looks at the moment. Mind you, we haven’t even done any serious editing yet.
The good thing for us, but not for you, is that the deadline for the competition has moved from the 18th of January to the 11th of February. This means that we actually can have our life back for a short while, but it also means that you have to be a bit more patient.
So tonight we take the night off, I can chill on my sofa doing nothing and I will actually have time to work on my feature script this weekend. This is all good. And on Friday Dan in real Life will have it’s premiere, so guess what I will be doing on Saturday and Sunday too.
I will try to scan in the rest of the Love Actually cards tonight!
PS I love all the new gravatars popping up here!
PS2: Sorry for the enormous amount of posts about film making and this short lately. But there is not much else going on at the moment! (which is great for me, but maybe a bit boring for you)
PS3 There is no one compared with you.

I had to go look up ‘green screen sequence’ - now I know what it is.
Those pancakes look delicious - the maple syrup heart is beautiful… I want to eat some pancakes now!!

I love your colourful scarf avatar :) Often they use green screen in weather forecasts on the telly (with the weather person standing in front of the weather map).

Had to post to see if my avatar came up! Love pancakes but I’m strictly a lemon and caster suger girl.

@Kate : go for it :)
@grigorisgirl: it seems nothing more than fair, I pollute your blog with B. you have your revenge with A.
I guess lemon and caster sugar is something you put on the pancake?

Boring for us? That’s absolute tosh! (new favourite word) I love reading about the film making process.
