Losing The Magic

me and Matt King are developing a film. The premise should have been concocted while under the heavy influence of marijuana. But we were totally sober. Or you can blame all the fried foods and sugary liquids we were consuming. But losing the Magic is the story of a documentary crew running around finding the last remaining students from the third grade class of a teacher named Ms. Frizzle.. She was known to go on a field trip everyday. More on this in a bit, I have a doc appt at 3:30 and i need to be driving to Vacaville right now! I'm off!

5:30

Sitting in the office. Bored. I pulled out the camera and decided to tinker with it. I'm shooting a short this weekend out in Daly City. The footage I've shot so far is amazing. Yeah, I'm watching Eternal Sunshine right now. Its amazing. I was looking at a post on a friends blog and it made me want to watch it.

Canon t2i and Einstein

I'm slowly figuring out this camera... and Einstein is the only thing I have to practice with haha.

I've got a lovely bunch of... usb drives

There they are all standing in a row...
My dad works at one of the main postal sorting centers. He's in charge of maintaining the machinery that sorts the mail. He tells me that people try to mail usb drives through standard envelopes all the time. When they hit the machines the get destroyed and the contents fall through a filter. Somteimes my dad brings home these usb's after no one claims them for a month. I love checking whats on them. Most the time its family photos or school/work documents. I've only gotten porn once and it was horrible. I would love to return some of these photos to their owners but they never have any documentation. I've even looked at the pictures for any kind of clues as to where these people are. I'm thinking about posting them online and starting like a lost photos blog.
P.s. Please use bubble envelopes to mail your usb's or stuff like that. Don't try to cheat postage.

I have nightmares about googley eyes

Sometimes its hard to distinguish the line between humor and horror when it comes to googley eyes. Seeing them on inanimate objects is funny. But when you dream of sitting at a dinner table and everyone is wearing them and they're all staring at you is a creepy thing. I've been trying write googley eyes into a short but with no such luck. maybe thats a good thing.

im not sure if i posted this already. but heres what started it all.

Delilah (yeah its a zombie script)

Delilah

So I'm trying out this pdfcast.org site cause I just want to start posting all these random scripts I have. I've been looking for a good way to post these things in their entirety. So please enjoy. Some of these next scripts will make no sense at all sometimes.

So this script is called Delilah. I wrote this sometime last year and I just decided to pull it out and do some revisions of the dialogue. I took the less is more approach. Plus the situation the characters were in didn't really seem fit to have such wordy banter.

I felt like today was like a bottle episode

In television, a bottle episode is referred to an episode of a show that is specifically written as a budget saver. They usually never leave the main set and have no special guest stars... I didn't do anything today. at all. what a waste.
