I have a lot of things planned for Dark Design Pictures in 2008. First and for most I want to film my own feature. If I can get away with maybe two. Yes I know, I’ve been yipping about this for a year now. As of right now my script is about 90+ pages. I’m sure after the rewrite it will be closer to 80+. I have a lot of stuff I need to over haul. But day by day I get closer to a final product. On top of that I want to do a few short films to keep the web site content fresh and to do some more experimentation. The big thing however is I want to start make money off my film making. Yeah I know what you are thinking pipe dream. Well not so much. I’m not going to start of trying to get my feature distributed just yet. My trainer has some good ideas for some workout videos. I’m not going to go into any details. It kind of top secret stuff if you know what I mean. But it has the potential to make us some cash. With more cash means, better equipment, more money for projects and the ability to pay my cast and crew. Which means more money and better projects, hopefully.
I’m one for new years resolutions. I think they are kind of silly. No mine is not to get in shape and loss weight. I’ve already been doing that for three months now. It’s to make better time of my resources. That’s time, sleep and money. Also I want to be more active in the film community. That means showing up to the film forums and such and supporting other film makes by making appearances at their screenings. I’m shy so I’m a bit of a fucking recluse. I’m also lazy sod, so we’ll see how this works out.
Last night we finally got back to shoot Cup of Joe again. I have to say that Matthew and Melissa Dawn Smith did an incredible job last night. And my camera work wasn’t half bad either. I can’t wait to see how that scene is cut together. I think it’s going to be killer. Tonight we will continue with Mathew and Melissa’s characters. It should be interesting.
