Today is the last day of november. I currently am in decent shape, if I had to shoot the actual final scenes and nail that stuff down, I'd be fine with it honestly.
I really am annoyed with the balloon scene still needing to get done and so I'd like to just get it out of the way.
Today was good. I did the batman shot I've been itching to get and even discovered that batman looks amazing at low angle perspective. I was just going to shoot him purely straight forward, but when I accidentally just had the camera down low for a bit shit looked awesome so that's how I'll have some of his stuff in the final cut since it gives the illusion that batman has some actual size to him. Sadly I look awful as batman, I'll have to mostly NOT show how I look in full costume if I want to sell this in any realistic fashion. I don't want it to be so awkward and lame like batman tends to look constantly. I don't think any live batmen have actually looked right. They've yet to figure batman out, except for Adam west. Now that I think about it, he was the most comfortable relaxed natural batman of them all. He just made sense all around.
I mean it's tiresome and putting the pressure of the deadline on me has taken its toll. I simply will try to release a rough cut of the film by then. What that means is that stuff will be unfinished.... Until I find the time to get the fx work done.
Still just kinda ball parking the film. Nothing is planned meticulously. I'm still writing the script in my head to this day. I know the overall structure but the finer details are tough to pin down....
Let me show you this though:
Yep, that's how intense this project will be. I'm going down that road of inserting myself into stuff in order to fake that I'm really there with someone. Not even wearing the shirt I want to be wearing but I was just sick of sitting on this scene in my brain all this time and not actually getting off my ass to do it, so I said screw it and got it shot and it actually came out decent when I was expecting it to be total balls. That's the journey with this project. I go out work on it expect ass, then it suddenly works and makes sense and fits. It's magical when those moments happen.
It wasn't easy. I had to find frames where the person I'm cropping out isn't there and some how force myself into the shot. I don't even have the ecto cooler and minion in the shot yet that's how early in the process this shot was. I had to put them in there to cover the woman's hand who I'm putting myself on top of... kept on moving it in the scene and ruining things so I just tossed a minion on it.
Why static brings a minion the bar, who knows. It's a running gag that the minion keeps showing up at awkward moments. Look for him a lot actually. I just tossed him in shots for no reason whatsoever.
Alright. Rough cut when TLJ is out. I'll release it after I go see the movie. And on Christmas the final director's cut will be out.
IF I can some how squeeze the final version out on the 15, yeah right, but if some how I drop 10 pounds in the next 3 days, shoot the balloon stuff, shoot the joker stuff, shoot the final scene, plus the funny joke scenes I want, then ok release.
