Over the weekend, I didn't do much. I didn't touch my script for a while. Instead, I've been thinking about how I'm gonna do certain things like sound and special effects. I've never had to think about so many things at once for so many days in a row but I think it has been keeping my brain very active and I am warding off Alzheimer's and other brain-age related problems. Woohoo!

I wrote a lot of stuff in the past few days on three different pieces of paper. I have to refine my dialogue to create a sense that every character introduced is not a new acquaintance of my main character. Some of them need to seem like they're old friends. Movies are all about illusion. I'm also trying to isolate a main bad guy who will help propel the final showdown. I have a super sinister criminal plot that makes sense.

In other news, I saw a bunch of crap movies on the bargain shelf at Pathmark. They specialize in groceries. I had a fear growing in me. I would be mortified if my movie would only make it to these shelves. I saw some other good movies that ended up here like Lost in Translation. It's worse than a shallow grave for a movie. I will do everything within my power to get the best actor and have the best plot and story possible. Straight to video, straight to supermarket, and straight to airplane are not what I'm destined for.

In three days, we will learn what Red has in store for us. I want my Scarlet in APRIL 2009 or sooner. This news will make or break me. I did not want to shoot on any other camera and I have been following the news on this camera dearly. Don't let me down please... I need this camera and I need to start shooting next Spring. I don't want to settle for another camera. It will create a big void in my heart and I'll lose sleep over how I did not get my money's worth with any other camera in that price range.
