Thawtz on musical choices

Running into complications of course as I predicted.

Congratz to Doug Jones for winning, was actally asking God to give the man a hand, and just I guess God gave a damn tonight, wow... some things make you believe...

Well, as I edit the opening scene, I mean, that's the trick. M. Night is editing Unbreakable 2 right now. Says he's starting at the end and working backwards or whatever.

I already have the end of my film edited in my head. So I'm kinda on the same page. I know how this thing ends. I know what music I want to use, it's just a matter of figuring out what comes before it. I just am stumped on how to open the damn thing and truth is I've never done this, opened a live action thing with a flash back. I mean if it was linear and I'm just starting on the scene on the train etc. Fine I can stick the landing on all that stuff, easy stuff, no music in those scenes, just need to edit it nicely. But here, it's all about setting a ominous tone from the start then some how leading to the past since this is one of those things you see where things start at a point in the present then you see the flash back to the beginning of the story...

It'll all be like a book really. Chapters. That's how I constructed the story when I wrote it. It has 3 main chapters. A bunch of sub sections, but it's supposed to run along a course of 3 main chunks.

I want to keep the music simple as possible but I find the intense action stuff works very well with hip hop music. I might experiment with putting the fight scene to a hip hop track since they blend so damn well. Was watching clips of stuff on martial arts on youtube like I generally do and had some hip hop beyonce music in the background on twitter and was surprised it was fitting the fighting like magic, so I'll be trying that.

It's something I grew up on truth be told. Movies where hip hop and rap actually were utilized in movies and not just something in some bad corny music video they used to promote the film, I mean actually part of the film's score for real. Gotta say, yeah fighting and rap and hip hop work together, why don't they use that combo more?

Excited but it will be a tight squeeze this dead line I've cursed myself with.

I have prepared my computer, got massive old hard drive hooked up so any clips I think would be best to have quick access to will be copied to that drive for easy retrieval.

What will I do about sound and fx. Gotta say this cut will be very very very rough.... Green screen shots unfinished, sound off, all that stuff. But consider it like a workprint.

Literally that's what this will be the workprint. I need to know what I have to figure out where I'm going with this thing so that's the reality. Enjoy TLJ if it's really what the reviews say it is, then check out my workprint when I'm done with it... And, then come christmas this sob should be done and I can finally relax...
