So this week starts the REAL work.
Between you and me, I'm not a huge fan of the holidays because I often get bored and start over-thinking, having too much time to imagine all sorts of catastrophes that could occur and getting distracted by personal BS (see below for self-exposing blog embarrassment). Now it's time to put that aside and go full steam ahead!
Just as a side rant- my new printer is already acting busted, so I'll have to spend a good part of tomorrow morning on the phone with Lexmark customer service....oh joy of joys. I wonder if the "please wait for the next representative" music will be Christmasy or Simon & Garfunkel? Let's place bets.
But now to nailing things down production-wise...Part of me is glad my character is not appearing in more than a two scenes, otherwise my head would be spinning. Plus, Rita Chassin is an effectively clueless and scatter-brained assistant, so it won't be a hard part to "get into." Bring on the ink smears and accidents, I say.
Me and the director, Mike Keller, meet tomorrow. I'm sure we'll be shocked by the few essentials we missed on our list but then again, that's what making your own stuff's all about. Here's a snapshot of some tasks we have:
-Buy a toy saxophone
-Cast 2 male model dancers, both willing to be shirtless and wear eye-liner
-Buy bookcase that looks sturdy but is light enough to not cause human & lawsuit damage when toppled over
...and many, many more. As you can see, we have our work cut out.
Until next time!
