All the Best Lines + Parking Garage

Wrapped up some good takes on "All the Best Lines" which may go through some changes...since Brian Hurley wrote it with a cast of 15, and we had, oh, 8 actors and/or passerbys chip in and help out, which will have to do. And so, the script may change.

We shall try to keep the "spirit" of the shoot alive, as always.

Shot Parking Garage which will not be the name of the short, but is more of a location.

Some "almosts" on Parking Garage

-Kenna's flip-flop almost got ran over by Lawrence's car
-Some people walking by almost questioned what we were doing
-Lawrence almost pretended to ride some guy's motorcycle
-Lawrence almost got killed by the owner of the motorcycle he almost pretended to ride
-The cameraman (me) almost tripped on a parking block and almost fell on his face almost breaking his camera

Lunch ran long.

Then it got so hot

I had to take a nap.

"Up the Creak" coming in less than an hour!

"Up the Creak" will be up shortly

"Up the Creak" is almost done!

But right now I have to go out to lunch with my friend Carlos a.k.a. Mr. LA.

Why do they call him Mr. LA?

Think about that while I'm gone.

Meanwhile, have you watched all of our shorts? And our new promo video?

Really?

Prove it!

(or just comment)

Michael Phelps's Home Movies

Just kidding.

That Phelps is so hot right now.

Thought about doing a short about Phelps's text messages, but couldn't find the right set of spandex pants for Lawrence to wear.

Coming Friday: Up The Creak

Which reminds me, I need to record some "creaks."

All the Best Lines

Lawrence's reference to my dramatic acting debut is from a short we've been filming in pieces for a week or two: ALL THE BEST LINES

Written by Brian Hurley

Title by Eric Myers

Who may change it to "Coming Next Summer"

Who knows?

All I know is that we might start asking people on the street to do cameos.

Next time, Brian, less actors.

But thanks for the script!

Shot with the GL1

Yes, Vacuum was shot on a used Canon GL1. Did you notice? Perhaps if you check it out on YouTube and click "Watch in High Quality."

Try it!

"Up the Creak," coming Friday, was also shot on the GL1 AND we had a cinematographer. It should look good. Real good.

And if it doesn't, we will blame the video transfer...something that sounds important, but has yet to be investigated by the Short-a-Week Project.

anticipation

So I'm thinking....

With all the amazing footage we got tonight.....

We must of got something good.....

I thing we got something good........

I fucking know it.

Check in soon to see E's debut as dramatic actor....

trust me....it's worth it
