noise.
noise is strange. they're showing two of my idents as part of their festival. idents which involve things been thrown around the australian bush by the posse of kush, vinoo, and aiken. odd.
and they've decided to only show cassar's someone to love as part of their short film collection. apparently they're only screening five shorts - the weekly program is for non traditional media (hence the crazy idents). so that makes the effort of dave sattout and i doing redoing the soundtrack for STL more worthwhile (he was designer, i was mixer). doing sound is a nightmare generally but for this film it was especially difficult cause not much is going on: no dialogue, no music, no action. just spot effects and atmos. hard to mix when you have no 'normal' reference point.
pulled out of dp'ing a spec spot which is shooting tomorrow. last minute notice for me and even more last minute notice for them. i was told i didn't need lights or a gaffer (they're shooting an infinity white room) and then when i started asking questions about the production they said to 'get a grip'. so i told them to go get fucked (more politely). no point wasting my time. word of advice, never trust producers who only want to spend money on expendables (ie tape) because then the bottom line becomes more important that the product. producers who don't give a shit about the product are dickheads. :)
geoff boyle has set up my screen directing discussion list, so once i've set it all up, i'll announce it here and watch no one join :)
oh, and noise wants to profile this blog. nfi why.
(i'm sitting on the toilet writing this. airport is so cool)
