Breaking the silence

Posted: 2nd May 2008 by Travis Thomsen in DDP

Again, it has been a while since my last post. To much shit has been going on. With the Crosshairs screening over and my project at work coming to a close things are beginning to calm down. You may have noticed that the Crosshairs trailer has been yanked. Well that is kind of a long story and I’m not going to get into it. But for the most part, it’s really fucking stupid. The premiere went well but there was a lot of technical issues with the movie. I ran out of time and didn’t get a chance to screen it before hand to catch them. Despite the film still being very rough everyone had a good time. That’s what counts in my book. Matthew knows how to put on a good show. When I finally have a movie premiere I want that man running it.

Matthew has pulled me off Cup of Joe so I can complete the Crosshairs edit. A very wise thing to do. When you spread yourself thing everything begins to suffer. So I will be hitting the editing hard over the next few months. When I’m done the edit should be very rock solid.

I decided to enroll myself in a 2 day course at SAC to become a certified Production Assistant. Two days $60 bucks not bad for getting a cert. Plus my name will be registered Texas Production Directory. So maybe I can get some real paying gigs even if it is as a lowly PA. Some real training couldn’t hurt. Like how not to make an ass out of yourself on set. A skill everyone needs.
