Blair (the musician fellow) is preparing some samples for a website so his music can be heard. In addition, next wek he'll probably make an effort to be here at #movie.<br> In addition, I've got some budget figures together, though there's every chance they may be utterly useless, since they're based on Aussie facilities etc<br> I've also looked into buildig some architectural samples in CGI to a) demonstrate hw location exteriors can be done up, and b) the website can be tizzied up a tad.</BLOCKQUOTE> <H3>Joy Green:</H3> <BLOCKQUOTE> I've been chatting a lot with a guy recently who writes for a zine I produce (Mark Melnich) Found out quite by accident that he is in fact quite a bigshot hollywood film editor <BLOCKQUOTE>(DS) Suggests using him to cut a Fine offline version, which is the second of three cuts (The last one being the Real, "Online" Version)</BLOCKQUOTE> Music wise, I was wondering about including some filked G&S - would that be appropriate? I thought it might be nice to have *something* with words people understood <BLOCKQUOTE>(DS & JA) Suggests asking ThP & TW & EJ</BLOCKQUOTE> alternatively I can write english words for high opera, but that lacks authenticity in the audience's mind.
