Hi, just working right now on the New York Video Diary, and things are looking really good for the diary being available here on the website late Sunday. Yes, I know, it got delayed again. But school is killing me at the moment, with loads of stuff to do (such as homework) even after I’ve finished school in the afternoon. I’ve also started to put together another scene for Showdown which I shot last sunday with Alexander. It was a lot of fun to shoot the scene, and Alex seemed to be really glad for his role, and did a pretty astounding performance, compared to the work he’s done before in my movies (Weird Gunfight..*cough* *cough*).
Almost the whole cast list is now finished, just got a few more roles to fill, and then we can start to film the bigger scenes! The casting announcement which I talked about a week ago will go up later this week probably, or early next week. I still have to finalize the names of the characters, since almost no names are completed. It’s actually really, really hard to think of a name that sounds believable for the character and not über-cheesy. So I want to at least finish the names for the movie before I put up any big announcement on who’s going to play who.
So, tomorrow I have a pretty big English essay I’m going to write early in the morning. It will hopefully go just fine, but hopefully the subject we’re writing about (yes, we do not get to choose our own) is interesting. I remember writing a swedish essay against pirated movies, and scoring a very high grade on that. Well, wish me luck!
Oh, and you seriously need to see “Hot Fuzz“. It’s a fantastic British cop comedy (probably one of the best movies this year) from the same guys who made “Shaun of the Dead“, one of the best romantic comedy horror film I have ever seen (actually, that’s a pretty big category, which I rank really high since I think a movie is really well made when it manages to combine two or more different genres, and pull it off perfectly). I feel like getting some new DVDs soon (no new Blu-Rays at the moment, since they’re bloody expensive). Still looking for Scorceses’ Casino or Rain Man with Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman. They both look like great movies, but I still havn’t found a retail store that sells them. Surely I could just order them from a website, but always when I think of doing that I never get around to it because…well, I don’t know, I just want the movie to be delievered immediately! Yeah, I am pretty impatient
.
And keep your eyes peeled on the website tomorrow or on Saturday for my Zürich video diary in 720p HD. I just have to compress it in a good format, and it’s going up on the website. I will of course, write a news topic when it hits the website, so don’t worry, you won’t miss it’s arrival.
But now I really have to go to sleep, since it’s getting late, and I’ve been running around all afternoon doing errands and stuff. Well, take care everybody, c ya all later!
