Joy to the world...Christmas is almost upon us. I don't know about you, but I am SHOCKED when I see colored lights, hear Christmas music or some clerk in a store asks me "have you got all your shopping done"? What?!!!? No!!!!! Is it Christmas? All of your life goes to ratsh*t when you're working on a film. There just NEVER seems to be enough hours in a day! Joy to the world - WE need a weekend off!
Joy to our Film...We are a breath away from being finished!!!! We spent the last two weeks traveling back and forth to Vancouver where we were doing color grading and sound mixing. I cannot describe the joy we felt upon seeing our first few frames of high rez, color corrected FILM on a big screen or the massive JOY at hearing the generator noise gone and the music soar! The folks at Digital Film Central have given us a whole NEW and beautiful look for our film...and Peter Elliuk at dbc Sound in Vancouver is a Sound God! We are soooo excited with our new and improved film. Throw out the old - here is the new, up-rezed, color graded and sound mixed TORA. Exciting, Exhilerating, Down right Joyous!
Joy in Directing. This from director Allan Moyle, (Pump Up the Volume, Weirdsville, New Waterford Girl, Empire Records) who is a good friend and brilliant director. "A director's best tool is not money or time or wisdom or cunning...it is Joy". Tho' anger and frustration does sometimes take over, it's true....it IS JOY that you feel as you write a good script and it's joy that lifts financiers, cast, crew, collaborators, investors, filmmakers, and audience to another level. It is JOY that drives us and how lucky we are to be doing what we do. Joy in development, on the set and in post is your tool. Use it. Laugh. Be Joyous! I've got to remember this...
