    I had just about given up hope, but due to fan demand and the fact we wanna finish, Mattes and I are trying our darndest to work this out so it gets done. It's gonna require some tricks, but I think we can do it. LDV, a lot of this is riding on you, so are you still in?

    I only give you a hard time to keep you motivated! ;) I really want to see this film finished and not go into the abyss. I would love to show both films together, I have another friend that has a small fanfilm, and we can have a big primer party out of this. It would be fun! :D

    Mattes and I are trying really hard to get this back off the ground, but it really isn't in our hands. We have 3 people that this is relying on, and one is LDV. We need him for a few more shots and then he'll be done.

    It really started last week when I was trying to make room for Essence footage on my computer. I had to delete some non-needed footage from AoY (mostly old screen tests). Then I watched the first scene and realized, AoY is something special. I compared it to other FanFilms out there and in my mind I knew that this is completely different from any other film I know. There are no Sith, no battles in the forest, and no constant saber dueling.
    It's not really ABOUT Jedi but really about how they become Jedi and what kind of people grow to be Jedi. (Insert Giddy Koo here)
    So I started rework on some scenes like the TextCrawl (that is extremely perfect might I add) and a CG shot on Bespin at a spaceport (which is Rendering as we speak on my other computer). And Joe and I were talking last night about what we need done so I through together a "To Do list" much like what we're used to from our old newspaper days. What pages are still needed to be layed out and such. To my surprise, a lot of them (I think half or more than half) have the "Ready to Zip" status which means...yeah, it's ready to turn and burn (CD burner, get it? HAH!)
    All that's left is a few inserted scenes and that darned long awaited incredibly anticipated battle of student vs student or if that doesn't go through, then a very very incredible surprise fight. (Deerrr, what'd he say, Cledus?)
    Okay, so, I know I talked to you briefly, Devin, but...there it is.
    Wish us luck everyone. But without our actor's support, this movie is still far from finished.

    May the Force be with us.

    Hey, we need some background extras for a spaceport scene, so if anyone wants to send us some footage of them in front of a greenscreen (please, no Jedi clothes... ruins continuity) feel free to do so!

    Let me know in advance and I'll do some extra work. Tell me what I'd need to wear. (sure nude scenes are fun...but sometimes they just don't fit into EVERY film...go figure)

    Erg, we were gonna try for this week, but I guess we can put your scenes off. It pretty much changes week to week due to work schedules. We'll keep you posted.

    Well, next Saturday is a day when we're gonna film whatever we can with whoever shows up. You don't have to be there, but it'll be cool if you did. It really doesn't hurt us if you don't, so don't feel pressured.

    No, scene 12 is where the Emperor sends his Sith people to the forest and we attack the 2 Sith with thier double-bladed sabers and then I fight with two sabers and you do a bunch of kung-fu moves. It's great, but I think the Duel of the Fates music adds to the scene perfectly. W00t!

    :eek: :eek: :eek: That is awesome! What a grate idea! I can?t wait to see it!

    On a side note you could shoot all of LDV parts of him from behind, and maybe one or two from the front if you get the lighting right and pull his hood over his face. Problem solved no need to worry about the beard!

    You can thank me later! ;)

    BTW I was able to help out on American Pie 3 American Wedding this weekend down in Half Moon Bay at the Ritz! Talk about disorganized. They were so messed up it made AOY production look good. :p

    It?s cool to have connections! I got to meet some of the principle actors, hear some big time gossip, and stand around in the background on some ?establishing? shots. The parts being shot are for the wedding. It was a small intimate setting with very few extras. Lots of trailers filled with cool stuff. They exclusively booked the entire hotel this week. I was asked to stay and help through Wednesday, but I am to busy here at work, plus I am still a little sick. If you are in the mood for a road trip drive down to the Ritz hotel and have breakfast. For 25$ they have the best all you can eat and you can see them working on the movie. Just dress nice, act rich, stay out of the way, and don?t take a camera and you could fit right in. I even bumped into Roger Ebert. BTW rooms start at $450.00 a night.
