Spielberg has edited two movies non-linear in a computer! He himself vowed never to do such a thing, but with TINTIN and also WAR HORSE, Steven has come over to the darkside. Now I understand TINTIN, as that is a CGI movie, but WAR HORSE is live action, shot on film.



Spielberg resisted the new school approach to editing, which is like comparing typing with a typewriter versus using a word processor. Your options become near limitless and takes so little time to edit with a computer versus editing with a work print, a moviola and some splice tape. For 40+ year of a career, this has been the only way Spielberg has edited, and now he has done two movies back to back in the computer.

At least he’s still using editor Michael Kahn. He has edited all of Spielberg’s movies except for 2, JAWS (Verna Fields) and E.T. (Carol Littleton, because Michael Kahn was editing POLTERGEIST for Spielberg superseding director Tobe Hooper). ]]> sonnyboo http://www.indietalk.com/blog.php?b=353 TSOTSS! - new poster http://www.indietalk.com/blog.php?b=352 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 00:01:05 GMT Image: http://flickerpictures.com/tsotss-2012.jpg ]]> Flicker Pictures http://www.indietalk.com/blog.php?b=352 Official Selection - Derby City Film Festival http://www.indietalk.com/blog.php?b=351 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 20:52:23 GMT I can't announce which Flicker Pictures film made it in, but look for some news January 2nd.



:yes: ]]> Flicker Pictures http://www.indietalk.com/blog.php?b=351 Resolved to Relocate in 2012 http://www.indietalk.com/blog.php?b=350 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 19:28:06 GMT Sheryl has resolved to relocate in 2012.

http://sherylskeyosk.info

We had dinner with her on Monday evening and talked about all sorts of scenarios for a new location. Wherever she ends up will weigh heavily on what she can afford to pay monthly. The good thing is that she's proven she only needs about 50 square feet of space to do business! But we'd like to find her something with a little more elbow room.

In making the break from her location of 20 years and with the release of the film, she has plans to change her business name from Sheryl's Keys to Sheryl's Keyosk. How cool would that be?

Stay tuned for more updates and thank for checking in.

Even a postcard from your neck of the woods would go a long way.



Her address:

Sheryl's Keys
Sheryl Ann Kitchen
2750 E. Main Street #14
Ventura CA 93003

Watch the film here http://SherylsKeyosk.info

More about packing up the shop:

Quote:
Sheryl just called again, but this time it wasn't about the break in. It was about getting a letter from Don Carlton Realty stating that they are not renewing her lease for 2012 and want her to vacate the shop by the end of January. I am not joking. Once I get a copy of the letter I will post it on the website.

Apparently Sheryl has no say in the matter and they are showing no signs of flexibility in their decision. We don't know if they are replacing her tenancy with another business or razing the "keyosk" altogether.

This news comes after having her store broken into and robbed the week before Christmas. Could things get any worse? Let's hope not.

One of the local newspapers The Ventura Breeze is interested in doing a story about Sheryl and I will be shooting more video at the key shop as depressing as it may be. It is part of her story and I need to be present and rolling video wherever and whenever I can.

I am grateful to have captured Sheryl's story when it wasn't so tumultuous since I'm beginning to feel like making the documentary has put a cloud over her business. I know this isn't the case, but it would be nice to point the finger at the culprit for all this bad news.

I will be updating the website http://sherylskeyosk.info as best I can and may be creating a blog at some point.

Thank you for your involvement and interest.

Regards,

Jeff
We're having dinner with her on Monday to talk about what's next. There may yet be some better news on the horizon.

Thanks in advance and happy holidays to all!

This will mark the 9th time Sheryl's shop has been burgled, the last was about three years ago. ]]> Flicker Pictures http://www.indietalk.com/blog.php?b=348 Ernest Worthing http://www.indietalk.com/blog.php?b=347 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 02:05:40 GMT Hey everyone!

I’m doing some minor writing of late. Whether it’s scribbling on a notepad at work, typing in Google Docs on the laptop waiting on a render, what matters most is that words from my head are being committed to some form that others might see and eventually say/shoot.

I’ve got a few ideas tumbling over. One compels me because I have never attempted a process shot, that is a shot in a car that appears to be moving when it is in fact stationary. There is the “poor man’s process” which is to say it’s all done with lights rotating across the windshield and windows. That is an option. Next is rear-projection, which is to go out and shoot the street views ahead of time, then project them on a screen near the car to give the illusion that they are moving. You’ll still have to do the lights, but there is clearly a background of moving streets outside the windows. The benefit is that everything is in camera, no post production work on either of those. The last option is greenscreen, which is to “key” in the street scenes in the computer after the fact. This option doesn’t cause the same problems it did as little as 2-3 years ago since technology has improved so much.

I’ll pick one of those and that will be the core of this shoot. The rest of it will tackle some more adult themes, something I haven’t done much of. It will deal with sexuality in a way I do not usually put in film. There is no nudity, as I have not matured enough as a person or director to handle that yet, but since I turn 40 years old next month, maybe with the death of my youth I might gain some of that maturity I’ve heard so much about.



CLIP FRAMES and FRAMELINES continue to grow to other markets. Today I made over 60 DVD’s to send out to various channels throughout the state and in the neighboring West Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania. I am pleased to hear such positive responses from programmers about the show. In a few months time, there will be no escape from my marketing machine. Too long have I been idle and silent. The time to reawaken my inner marketing whore reveals itself to be nigh. Prepare thyself, Acolytes. ]]> sonnyboo http://www.indietalk.com/blog.php?b=345
