Off to LaLa Land
So you know that making a documentary is a boatload of work, right? It’s not like we’ve just been sitting around twiddling our thumbs mind you. In fact, here’s what we’ve cooked up:
Crucial to the completion of this flick is cash. Trooper that he is, Werner Campbell’s out there taking one for the team. That’s right, the poor s-o-b is neck deep in fat-cats and big-wigs and he’s hob-knobbing and elbow rubbing the hell out of these deep-pocketed bazillionaires and securing the funds needed to finish this doc off in style.
The other half of this two-headed snake, Bob Ray will roll on out to LA and work with Conor O’Neill (editor of two of CrashCam Films’ favorite docs of late: Murderball and Word Wars ) to finish the edit. We blocked out 5 weeks for the final cut and start on February 6.
Greg Roman, the infamous filmmaker behind the kick ass onslaught of brand spanking new Honky music videos has offered up his edit room for our use. Many thanks to our brother in arms for his hospitality.
Viet Nguyen, filmmaker, Austin expatriate and assistant editor on the TV show Veronica Mars will be heading up the many vital duties of assistant editor.
Once back in Austin, the kick ass band …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead will write and record an original score for the flick. How freakin’ rad is that?
And hell yeah, we’re going tri-coastal on this thing. The newest edition to the roster is producer Jere Orlandi. Jere is a native Texan based out of New York City. She’s been working as a producer at MTV for several years and began working with Bob Ray in 2002 shooting promo spots for MTV2. Jere brings tons of experience to the project and is overseeing the post production process. She’s lining up some top notch talent for all the glamorous technical mumbo-jumbo like graphics, color correction, and sound work.
