Remember in a prior blog called Captains Blog Suplemental on D'Sari Date 09.30.03? It talked about the "mockumentary". Then Merlin from the Spectre crew posted a comment about how it looked and sounded better than I thought (mind you, I haven't seen any of the raw footage that he had, let alone the preliminary edits) and that it actually is a growing role in the film. I spoke to Weapon (Brian Smith, the star and focus of this film) and he told me that the segment has grown larger than I thought. As it would seem, parts are being spliced between the two of us where we have similar opinions on music.
Now, here's the fun part. I have to go get out my 8mm and take 20 second micro movies or stills to use as segués. The fun will be me as a mini director finding spooky locations to film myself in my various stages of stage gear and make-up (maybe). Can anyone recommend a good castle or cemetary I can try for a location? We DO have a comments button at the bottom of each blog posted, y'know.
This time,with me filming these parts, I get to do the angles I wanted to see and wear some of the gear I had purchased online, yet never made it to the house in time for the first shoot. It seems the first interview was stodgy , shot wise, because it was all in the same seated position. It seems this will give it a more epic movie/music video style. I suppose one cannot judge a project on speculation. The sum of the parts as a whole is what's to be determined.
I have a few ideas of locations. I don't live very far from Sleepy Hollow (yes THAT Sleepy Hollow). And a few castles within a 20 mile radius...
The poster looks cool in it's latest rendition. Maybe I'll upload it as a link so you guys can play "Guess which one is Darkstar!"
