had a tough shooting day

I guess I underestimated how hard shooting this movie in the public eye would be. I've been shooting so much of it in the forest that I forgot how ass it would be to have actual people annoying you during it. I don't really want to recount what happened. It was too stupid to be noted, suffice it to say it was a task to get my shots because of some overly paranoid guy who was just I don't know, I just don't know. We live in a tough town, the bronx. I don't feel safe here, no one should. I don't blame him, but he's still a damn annoying twerp who pissed me off during what I hoped would be a fly by thing. It wasn't. I got so much attention. I got so much BS for trying to shoot.

I even have a continuity error now that I won't dare go back and fix with a reshoot since I don't want to go through the drama again. I'll just have to leave it in there and it'll be an eye sore for all eternity thanks to the situation...

What can you do? Nuttin... well am satisfied enough with it. I often tell myself that well, not like the original footage I shot for this is any good anyway. When I started this shit, the cam I used was a samsung cell phone. Wasn't until losing the cell that I decided to go 60p with it and attempt a more modern level fan film.

What's left to do? Finish polishing and fnish all the batman stuff. I damn well will finish that shit tomorrow. I THINK I can possibly shoot the joker scenes tomorrow too. Very tough shoot, but I literally have the tools to do it so hell yeah. Batman and Joker will appear in this film and I'll do what I can. I should be the guy to take over joker for Hamill since I do a damn good joker, you'll see. I have no doubt you'll all like what I do with him. Baker who?? Can a blackish guy play joker? yunno, that's an interesting question. I don't look at joker as a white guy, he's got too much style and flare to him, he's so not white, that's why he's such a clowny personality. It'd actually work if a black guy played Joker, it really would.

Trying to figure out what's left to do before I go shoot the topless scene in like 40 below weather out in the jungle...

Want to get shots of static in freakin manhattan where the visuals would be amazing shit, but it's tough to get a chance due to lack of parking and just so many onlookers. I don't want bs and that's what you'll get as a black guy in a funny costume in the middle of manhattan, big whopping crap load of bs. Just kills me to drive around see steam blowing out of the sewer lids and pipes and thinking how badass would a shot of static right there be. Now if I do that, get costumed up and go walk out there and get the shot, I'll have so much bs, so yeah kinda am going to avoid that but I drive with the costume in the car ready to go just in case I can do it, but yeah, there's no place more paranoid than manhattan. They're preparing for big time terror season, the holidays, so no dice, bro.

Got to shoot as far as out door stuff is concerned. I have one scene for indoors that I want to get, Static talking to his sister frieda, easy scene, I can get that done easy. I'm concentrating on the hard parts right now....

Shoot Bank Robbery scene. Static's first heroic fight. I have to get this shot using whatever bank I can find over in mount vernon, set up the camera, shoot it. put in the alarm sounds later. Done.

After that, shoot localy static chasing the bank robber. Then the encounter with batman who catches him and tells static he'd make a good partner one day or something...

After that, I'm not gonna stress it. I've done some aspects of it already where he fights random thugs. One villain is specific to what I want to accomplish, red cape. I'll get him going as soon as possible. Problem is continuity is screwed because the scene I want happening after static fights red cape is kinda not having the same costume elements to it. I guess I'll have to just insert a bit where static puts his goku hoodie on for it to work.

Other than that gonna need to get crackin on flight scenes of course, fx work will be tough as balls....

Dunno really got to revist this... make sense of where I'm going and how much can be accomplished as time permits.
