28 Hours To Go, 354 Likes, Editing Film, Deathrock Book Almost a Hardcover

I posted this update about editing the film to our California Deathrock book Kickstarter pages and I wanted to share it here too. I eventually did find the needed art pencils. They were in a pencil drawer, along with an inexplicable neurological pinwheel.

Forrest and I are getting ready to start going through contact sheets today. Thanks to our awesome backers, we know we are definitely going to be able to do the book, so we want to get a head start on editing film.

It has been so long since I got to work with negatives and contact sheets that I am having trouble finding any of my grease art pencils to mark the contact sheets with. I’m still hopeful that a search will uncover my stash, but I might have to go get a couple from the camera store. Hopefully they still carry traditional tools.

We’re going to try both the library and a coffeehouse with big tables and see which is more comfortable to go through contact sheets in.

Thanks so so so much to everyone who has supported this project so far. If we hit $2,200, the book is definitely going to be hardcover and it seems promising that it will.

Yolanda Fuzzy Piggies Slippers (PICS)

I’m sitting here wearing fuzzy tiger paw slippers, in honor of the extremely brief winteresque time period in Hollywood. So it seems only fitting to post this series including Yolanda showing off her fuzzy pink piggies slippers. Forrest Black and I had the pleasure of shooting a few sets with Yolanda in her living room, on this particular day. We shot everything standard high saturation film, cross-processed film, and digital. The digital appears to be corrupt, but I’m pleased to share the film with you all. This is the more standard film process and I’ll post some crossed stuff later as well, which should be especially interesting for the photographers among y’all. Whole series in the Blue Blood VIP as always.

An Experiment in Using the Internet for Real Life Socialization

Tonight, Friday, May 14, 2010, Forrest Black and I and possibly Trent Hahn will be going to see film noir at the New Bev and then most likely eat Thai food at Torung. Pertinent info below. If you plan to come please tweet me or, if you have my cell number, please text me (no voice thanks) and let me know. If you, like many of my compatriots are morally opposed to planning, that’s cool too. Come say howdy if you happen to swing by.
