Found out that the pilot just decided to send a completed and signed contract but were actually passing me for the part. Not really sure the reason for that but anyway, never mind! My dance card is full for January! Met with the movie group this morning. We're setting up our characterisations to help R, who's writing the screenplay and shooting it. The movie basically (without giving anything away) centres around a situation where we're stuck somewhere in something and all have to get along for 3 days. We'll carry the plot and message in the principle location as well as staging flashback sequences to add background to each of the characters.
Also spoke about the beginning sequence of the movie. Much discussion!
Class day today. Great class. Worked with E. She rocks.
Finshed clas with another movie group meeting. No-one's actually collaborating on the yahoo group so it seems that the only time we get to move things on is every Wednesday at the meeting(s). Seeing as the entire movie has to be finished by May 2006, we are going to have to move VERY fast. R seems to think that if we start shooting in March, we'll be ready. I'm pleased about that as Jan & Feb are fairly chokka. I guess that if R has a clear vision in his head, we'll get it done.
J & A came back from San Francisco. They had had a wonderful time. It was apparently nice and warm but they're not used to West Coast weather so they were thinking it was subtropical whilst the natives were bundled up in coats and hats!
We had a great dindins at the Hard Rock and the monkey had a great time, colouring with the boys. Home again, home again. Lots of tea & chat. Boys back to the hotel. zzzzz
