Have you ever cried at a movie? I have.
Was it the best movie ever made?
I clapped, I cheered, and yes, I cried.
Had we done it? Had we made 'The Gone With the Wind' of our time?
Or was it the fact that I'd not slept in 72 hours and delirium was setting in. Many people say it's not the destination that makes life worth living but the journey. This weekend demonstrated that sentiment loud and clear.
It started with the phone call. The phone rang, "Hello," I said. Thomas, on the other side said, "Road Movie". My heart sank. I repeated "Road Movie". No, it couldn't be Road Movie. We didn't prepare for Road Movie. We had the Halloween costumes for a remake of Halloween. We had the fake guns for a Spy movie. We had mannequins for a horror movie. We had glitzy costumes for Romance. We had military outfits for Historical Drama. But we had selected Road Movie.
The hotel room was very quiet for a few minutes. Then, the writers started calling out ideas. Everyone started throwing ideas around. Hitchhiker kills the people who pick him up. Hitchhiker gets killed by the couple who picks him up. Dropping acid on the road. Loud discussions ensued. The phone rang. It was Thomas again, on his way with Raven, Paul, Lacey and Jules from Café Prytania.
The phone rang. It was Thomas again, on his way with Raven, Paul, Lacey and Jules from Café Prytania. "We have some ideas about what we can make." "How far out are you?" I asked. "About 10 min". I said to Thomas, "Just develop them the best you can and pitch them to us when you get here." The lively discussions in the room continued. 15 minutes later Thomas came in. I said, "Quiet in the room." Thomas described a storyline that, after a LOT of collaborative effort, would ultimately become our movie, I Wish I'd Known You Better

Ending Part
As I opened my 168 email messages from this weekend, my mind was buzzing with images from the past three days. The first message I opened was the perfect song at the perfect moment. The song that we couldn't find at 6 PM last night. How appropriate that the song we used for the ending credits to the movie was the soundtrack for writing down my final thoughts about the weekend. With the song put on loop I thought about how many people say it's not the destination but the journey. I think I may have answered one of Life's Greatest Questions. It is indeed the journey and not the destination. As the music played, I wrote and wrote and wrote my feelings ~ a floodgate opened. There was no turning back now. The tears came back with a vengeance, there was no stopping them, nor did I want to for today I was different. I will never be the same. I must have played that song 100 times. I wrote a composition book worth of words or maybe it was just a lot of incoherent thought of an over stimulated mind.
Today, I realized I've joined the ranks of the very best moviemakers. It may be the very bottom of the ranks, next to my hero, Edward Woods Jr. Nonetheless, I am a director. A true Director. My movie will make the Silver Screen. No matter what happens now that can not be changed. No one can take that away from me. Thank you 48 Hours Film Project. You have inspired me and pushed me to do my best. Thank you Team Spineless. You have helped me to realize a major goal of mine. I now see what I am capable of, and it is so much more that I'd realized. I have a lot to say; now, I have a medium in which to say it. Watch for more to come.
God speed, thank you sincerely, Dr. Rory White

Explanation of the 48 hour film project
re: Clear Explanation and Understanding of What 48roject Hour P Contest Is Since so many people and Members approach us asking what 48 Hours is and about, I am writing this to give answer and find that Jonathan Jackson clearly explains and says what it is here
Filmmakers to Participate in New Orleans, July 25th-27thSponsored byLouisiana Economic DevelopmentHostel New OrleansNOLA YurpDefend New OrleansNew Orleans filmmakers will get a chance to show what they can do in just 48 Hours. Taking place on the Weekend of July 25 – 27, filmmakers will make a short film, no more than 7 minutes long in just 48 hours. In this contest the teams write, shoot, and edit their films, and race to the drop off, where films that are even one minute late are disqualified. The 48 Hour Film Project (48HFP) is the world's largest extreme film competition, with a tour that goes to over 60 cities around the globe, including Paris, Mumbai and Singapore. The 48HFP is sponsored by Panasonic and Rumblefish. This is the 48HF Project's 2nd year in New Orleans. 12 teams participated last year, and that number of teams grew to 26, with 5 remaining on the waiting list. This year, Louisiana Economic Development sponsors what looks to be a exciting event. Along with LED, Hostel New Orleans, NOLA Yurp, and Defend New Orleans round out our sponsors, bringing a young, professional, indie feel to this years event. In the 48HFP, participating teams are given a genre, a character, prop, and a line of dialogue that they must work into their piece. They are responsible for putting together a cast and crew, and getting equipment and anything else needed to make a film/video.The first competition of its kind, 48HFP gives people the opportunity to demonstrate their passion in new and innovative way. Their mission is to advance filmmaking and promote filmmakers. Through its festival/competition, the Project encourages filmmakers and would-be filmmakers to get out there and make movies. The tight deadline of 48 hours puts the focus squarely on the filmmakers—emphasizing creativity and teamwork. While the time limit places an unusual restriction on the filmmakers, it is also liberating by putting an emphasis on "doing" instead of "talking." Jonathan Jackson , one of the New Orleans Producers of the 48 Hour Film Project says " Christopher Brown and I have been trying to find ways for local filmmakers to succeed in a fairly young independent scene. I feel that this is an inexpensive way for those filmmakers to be part of a movement, something that will hopefully gain them exposure in the community. And making a film in 48 hours will make them feel that they have gone from being invisible to being invincible. We hope that with this event, we can help bridge a gap between local filmmakers and local businesses and investors."

Immediately merge into the far right lane which will lead you to the Toulouse entrance into the French Quarter. The Maison Dupuy will be on your left at the end of the first block.
Maison Dupuy will be one of the camps we will edit, sleep, or shoot here. We have a room with a balcony.
What to bring
Hopefully everyone will bring clothes and toothbrushes.
Things people forget cell phone chargers.
Sleeping bag and pillows hopefully we will be able to sleep in nice comfortable beds but time may dictate otherwise.
Any extra neat stuff you can bring movie props. Let me know before you bring dangerous stuff like guns.
We will bring ice chest and water. We will have Pizza one meal. Sandwiches and snacks another.
Check this list before you leave. We will add things to it.

what should the 48 hour movie look like From Ella
Hi Rory,
Here are my selections for movies to scope out:
Uncle Bill - excellent period piece, plus an interesting take on a historical event
Lizzie Strata - the musical was excelent
Burnin' Love - great opening and cool concept
TimeCatcher - although not much happened, energy was terrific and at the end, I found that I had been drawn into the film's gravitational orbit of emotion
A Conscience Free Tomorrow - creative concept
The Klep - the first few minutes, acting out of the stories he alludes to, is well done
Pixie Dusted - titles are great, movie less so
Would welcome your feedback on these movies.

Carlos and cyd during the shoot of "love in the Park".
Cyd turned out to be a natural on camera. Great looks nice smile. She and Carlos worked well together. It was a very fun day of shooting.

One of the best things is the way everyone worked together. Raven and Thomas got to shoot a camera for the first time. They both have an eye for framing the shot.
The experence showed with the camera work of Ella and Troy.
The tent was a big hit with everyone. I am glad we brought it. Hope we will be set up as well for the movie shoot. If anyone has a jib or dolly let me know we could use one.
The day went very well except for the computer. Which has been fixed with downloads for vista (I hate Vista). Maybe it should be named visa because it cost you every time you use it.

Hi gang
Hi gang
I have two potential locales lined up:
The Doctors' compound at 1014-22 Dumaine, French Qtr
Got permission from Dr. Brobson Lutz to use the courtyard areas, and permission to use one of the apartments, from the occupant, Johnny Walker
(Brobson has a dinner party Sat nite and does not want us in the main house all day)
Grounds include restored historic bldgs, shady courtyard, freeform swimming pool, raised overlook area, gazebo, neon signs, great landscaping
I think: great for romantic comedy, maybe spooky enough in the shaded areas and alleys, lovers in the pool, drowning at the pool, falling from balconies, historic costume piece, could dress courtyard to look like an outdoor cafe...
The apartment is fairly compact, but it has living/dining/kitchen/bath below and a loft bedroom (spiral stair)
Could probably arrange to have Johnny show you around if you want to scope it out
He says Playboy mag has done some shoots there
Jonathan Ferrara Art gallery
http://www.jonathanferraragallery.com/
He has some construction work ongoing, so the gallery is closed to public
But he said we could probably use if we want
Just need to call him to confirm (522-5471 per website)
I haven't been to his new space, but the link shows big open gallery rooms
Also - sorry - I won't have any time to meet with you these weeknights
Rehearsing and then doing a tiny walk-on in Uncle Vanya Th - Sun evenings
(Come see, not cuz of me, but to see a good show - Backyard Ballroom, Bywater, $15)
Saturday s/b filming The Local 504
Maybe Sunday too
But let me know your plans in case I do get a break
So - how did the Sunday footage come out?

Test Film
The issues have been resolved. Adobe need to be updated for vista. I spent last night editing for about 3 hours. If I have time I will try to up load to the web today. Also I think we need to meet wednesday to talk about the upcoming project. Also Friday there is a meet and greet I would like to go to as a group. We need to do a cut down on the movie we made Sunday right now it is about 11 min long and would like to cut it to 8 min. Again this is to see what we are capable of. We need to think about extra footage when we shoot. And need to work on scene establishment. Story boarding will help all these things. The team worked great together and thanks to all for the hard work. I had a good time working with everyone. We need an editor that is capable of doing transition with adobe after effects and 3D graphics work. We still need a sound person who can work in adobe or sound forge or have thier own program to do sound. Our first film was done in 6 hours. 4 hours shooting with an hour for lunch and 3 hours editing without computer problems and down load time. Whoever took pictures email them to me so we can put them on the blog.

Drinks and water will also be provided. Please have your thoughts organized for the shoot 1 to 2 min long. I would like to shoot 3 to 5 of these. if anyone has any outside lighting pieces please bring them and let me know. Rory
New meet up Thursday 7:00pm Puccino's
We will be meeting Thursday to add new members and talk about sunday's shoot. All members are encouraged to attend. We need people to start making new charactors for Sunday's shoot. Pic any subject and write/ storyboard/ or just think up a 1 to 2 min shoot for the park. As a group we will pick as many as we can shoot in a few hours shoot the purpose of this exercise is to see group dynamics and what we can get done in a short amount of time. I will do a basic editing of the footage taken. I will alot 2 times the footage time. The more complete the scene's description the better the shoot will go. If any props are needed please bring them. If anyone needs special cloths try to tell us what is needed for your scene in advance (thursday's meeting). Please try to recruit as many people as you can for help. I may have found a new cameraman to help from a New Orleans tv station.
