![]() ![]() Post Production draws to a close on Blood + Kisses. We're going to have to fight for everything we get. And this movie is like the little engine that could. No cast or crew yet listed, but I'll keep at it. I know from the last indie movie I produced, "Los Patriotas," that this can be a painstaking process, submitting details over and over again until they finally get it complete. Can't wait to see it with smaller fangs.Ī smaller triumph was finally getting "Blood + Kisses" listed on IMDb, the Internet Movie Database. But the effect was realistic and flawless and cut in seamlessly into the scene. I have a sneaking suspicion that James hasn't actually watched the whole movie yet or else he'd have known her fangs should be smaller. It rocked - but we couldn't help but laugh at the size of the fangs. Meanwhile, James created the first of the special effects where the Countess grows her fangs. Speaking of albums, I'm determined to put together an album for this movie. I'm sure some of these musical ideas will develop into songs on the next Octavius album. William continues to create so much new music every day I think he's going to have to stop soon or he'll have enough music for two movies. I haven't been able to keep up with editing them and mixing them into the movie. William and Mia have been working so furiously on music and sound effects that they've actually buried me under them. I'm inspired now to scare as many people as I can, as often as I can! ![]() I never even imagined that it was that scary a scene.īack to the edit bay. She jumped for the first time at a new sound effect I put in there. ![]() Last night I screened a scene for Denise, one she's seen a hundred times. So I sit in the edit bay and experiment, cutting it different ways, testing different music, different sound effects until the day I can test it out on someone and make them jump. Personally, I'm not that good a test audience since I've never been scared that easily by movies. I now appreciate that every scare that works is carefully crafted and executed. My textbooks are other scary movies and in particular Bravo's TV special "100 Scariest Movie Moments," which is running again this Halloween week. It is a science and I am becoming a student of it. You know, I've been a filmmaker for a while now, working on all sorts of productions, and I never realized or fully appreciated the art and science of scaring people. We've been fine-tuning the music and trying to make the scares as big as possible. It's just been all about the unglamorous task of finishing the post production on this beast. I haven't posted in a while, but that doesn't mean nothing's happening. ![]()
