Or, maybe I'll get restless and throw something together tonight?<br /><br />I'm going to need a lot of horsepower and storage to get the movie cut. The finished movie uncompressed will be anywhere from 100-150 GB. The raw footage will take up two to four times that. I'm looking at getting a couple 250 GB drives just for this thing.Joshua Provosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265131010200627988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645595.post-1105569122402843872005-01-12T15:32:00.000-07:002005-01-12T15:32:00.000-07:00When do I get to see some sample clips or at least...When do I get to see some sample clips or at least some more stills?

And yet, I don't know how that will be possible. Only that you did indeed do a good job co-directing. As I was watching the footage, I noticed some good catches you made to get good shots, and some bad ones. It seems nearly everything was shot both my way and your way. Much as you have said about many TMINM songs, it's not about changing, it's about adding, use all the parts. In the end, I may use a lot of the shots. This could be a long short film.Joshua Provosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265131010200627988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645595.post-1105413932227238352005-01-10T20:25:00.000-07:002005-01-10T20:25:00.000-07:00First off, I really like Gabe's "Days of Being Wri...First off, I really like Gabe's "Days of Being Wrinkle Free." It has a great ring to it. Of course, I also like the very plain but effective "In the Mood for Laundry."<br /><br />I still maintain that it has to be Nm just like the Asian Ng. Trust me!<br /><br />Yes, I did come off as semi-racist. And yet I love foreign cinema. That's quite a plot hole. How are you going to explain that?<br /><br />Anyway, I have a lot of comments on the DOBWF footage and that's why we need to work closely on editing. I can't stress this enough.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14875093009361765014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645595.post-1105395512413530962005-01-10T15:18:00.000-07:002005-01-10T15:18:00.000-07:00That name made me chuckle.That name made me chuckle.Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524358004155083525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645595.post-1105395358205167672005-01-10T15:15:00.000-07:002005-01-10T15:15:00.000-07:00Nm is Tim Nm's last name.

Then there is the Godard influence, and there are titles there to play with.<br /><br />There will be two cuts of this film. I'll run them by you guys to see which works better. One cut will focus more on the comedic aspects of this. The crazier things Tim says and does. There are even quite a few references throughout that make him sound like a semi-racist stupid American. The other cut will be more serious, delusional, yet not over the top.Joshua Provosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265131010200627988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645595.post-1105387946327106012005-01-10T13:12:00.000-07:002005-01-10T13:12:00.000-07:00The first and second picture of Jeremy is great.

I like the mailbox shot too. <br /><br />Title suggestions? I don't have any at the moment. It should probably be a play on a Wong Kar Wai title though.
