This is the problem with running a tight ship and doing great preproduction. We don't have any war stories or at least I can't think of any.
Can you?
These damn festivals want us to tell them how hard it was to make the flick, how so and so didn't show, so we made due. How we had to fire this person. How we crashed the grip truck. ect.
Problem is, since we did pre production so carefully, we had no idiots on set and no real fuckup's. So I've been forced to make up lies about Ryan.
Anybody got any?
If not, anybody want to take a crack at comming up with a good fake war story? |

Well you can either make up some absurd shit (I can help with that) like your lead actor loved to jerk off between takes and if you did too many scenes in one day he started to walk funny or how the lead actress had to have her lines told to her by a tiny microphone in her ear because she had no Long term memory and couldn't remember any of her dialogue.
Or you could spin it.
Tell them the truth, it was so easy. I don't know what this directors are always talking about and actors are such pussies. the big secret is nothing is easier than making a film.
the ony thing that was hard was the fact that you had to use Mini-DV because Film costs too damn much. It's not really a bad thing, but you can make it sound like it is.
But if you want to make up war stories, I say make your set antics sound like something out of Lord of the Flies where you had to battle for your life after being stuck in the store for too long long.
Or read any of the Troma books and take his lead and say you had no money for food or access to bathrooms so people had to eat day old bagels and water from the tap and people had to piss in cups. And let's just say, that's after a while, we couldn't play pool anymore because the pockets were full of feces.
Or something else. |

No war stories huh? What about the anamorphic lens fiasco? 3 days before filming was to start we had no idea if we were going to have an anamorphic lens. And we had had 2 on reserve at least 2 weeks in advance. Or how about someone and their damn watch? Messing up the continuity. Or the sound at 7 am on the first day of shooting with no female/female connector to go into the mixer. The tapes that were suppose to show up but didn't so we had to run to Target to get some. Or how about our behind the scenes guy, not Manny, the other one who was suppose to show but never called back? Or how about not knowing who all was going to crew since our DP kept saying he had a couple of people but never really confirmed it so we had no clue until the first day of shooting. And Ryan, what more do I need to say. Oh and let us not forget about cat hair and all of the problems that caused. Talk about your sneeze fest.
You want war stories I have them for you. But where to start? |

See, I forgot about those. K&C is like my child and no matter what anyone says I look past the problems and just see the prettiest baby in the world.
I did remember how I almost didn't get the Neon Jesus ready in time. And how I thought we were a fiasco on day one, and this movie would never come together. The worry about the UPS uniform. The Moobys Hat. Not having sex all week. Not showering from Sunday to Wednesday.
Oh, and my wedding ring was tossed in the toilet on the last day of shooting which was also the day of my 5 Year wedding anniversary. Then Deanna and I got into a tif, not because of the ring, but because of the stress of no sex and all work.
So Mr. Michael, write that shit out. It'll make for great Journals and then we'll incorporate them into one story.
Hum, maybe you already have them in the Journals? If so, then gather and assemble. So we can build a kick ass press kit.
Anyone else with war stories???
I was thinking about saying that Nicole kept sneaking off to have sex with Tom at each of the locations, that Nikki kept talking about sex, that Ryan kept getting caught masturbating, and that I didn't get any till wrap day. |

I guess you were talking to the cast and crew about war stories... but I guess you would be in contact with them somehow other than the message board....
but i guess i was wrong. |
| Vince (Vince) | Friday, December 05, 2003 - 02:40 am
j-lo - I can ring em up on the phone now if you'd like, but then you won't hear the conversation.
I could email them, but then you wouldn't see the conversation.
I could discuss it over dinner and drinks with them, but then you wouldn't be in the conversation.
Or, I could post it here. They all read the board and chime in when they are not working.
Right now, it's holiday time and they are all around the country, however I'm due to see them at Nikki's birthday party later this month. Should I discuss it with them then? |

It wasn't masturbating.
It was character development. |

I wondering if I should say Bart was the one Masturbating? People will be like, "Ryan Masturbating, What's new? If he wasn't that'd be a story." So saying Dr. Bob was doing it would really be shocking.
I also remembered that I got in to a Tripod accedent on te first day of shooting and really I should have gotten stiches.
Then there was the HORROR of trying to get a naked Nicole to fly up erect from a waterbed. Most people don't know about that, cause the set was pretty clear. |

:I wondering if I should say Bart was the one Masturbating?
Hey, now I'm insulted. I only believe in masturbation for the purposes of procreation. |
| Vince (Vince) | Saturday, December 06, 2003 - 11:04 am
Funny Bart.
You just reminded me of how we were down to the wire with NO Dr. Bob and had to hold auditions in the store where we scared a customer away because they heard someone shout "I'm gonna kill you mother fucker" from the back room and then Bart walks in and saves our production.
Wow, check out that run on sentance. |

You realize you set up a board to stroke your own ego right?
I think you'd be better off having this conversations in private as no one is listening.
I only stopped by after seeing your name on indieclub.
I feel sick. |

"You realize you set up a board to stroke your own ego right?"
Naw the board was set up for people to use. Since most people don't use it. I use it to stroke my own ego. Thanks for stopping by though.
"I think you'd be better off having this conversations in private as no one is listening."
Forgive me, but Didn't you just listen?
"I feel sick."
I hope it's not that flu that's been going around. |
