As of midnight, I locked and rendered the final credits for Sita Sings the Blues. Finally! At last! I set up my machine to render the final reel of the film overnight and went to bed, exhausted. Lying there, drifting off, I remembered I’d forgotten one name. Just one name. Couldn’t it wait until tomorrow? No! Must [...] Thanks to your excellent comments, I’ve modified my poster designs. Now which do you like best? Poster A.2 Poster B.2 Which is best? Inquiring graphic designers want to know. Thanks for [...] UPDATE: newer poster designs above Praise be to Laxmi! Laxmi is both the eternal form of Sita and the Goddess of Wealth. I never really thought about her wealth aspect until now. Because my mind is so blown by the donations coming in for the 35mm master of Sita Sings the Blues. Folks, you are kind and generous beyond my dreams. So far [...] The lab making the 35mm print master of Sita Sings the Blues has been delayed receiving the requisite film stock, due to a delivery error. That means they can’t print the final reel – with the credits – until Monday. And that means I don’t have to render the credits until Sunday. Which means anyone who [...] Big ups and mad props to everyone making donations large and small to Sita Sings the Blues. This is really our film, not just mine – a community project. Most films are financed by big corporations, perpetuating the top-down model of American entertainment: they dictate content from above, and audiences consume what they’re handed below. But [...] So the good news is, Sita is in the Berlinale. The bad news is, she’s programmed in a theater that doesn’t do Digital Cinema. That means unless I have a 35mm print by February, her one and only World Premiere will be on, well…video. I can’t let that happen. The 35mm master will still cost about $30,000 [...] That’s right people, I’m not a Berliner, so I can’t hit up my neighbors to offer crash pads for some of Sita’s voice artists and musicians who want to attend the premiere at Berlinale ’08. But I can hit up complete strangers in cyberspace! The festival only covers my hotel for 5 days (of a 10-day [...] Sita is in! It’s programmed in the “Generation” section, 14-Plus, but hopefully older people will come too (the film is intended for adults). The festival is February 7-17; I don’t know yet exactly when and where my screenings will take place. If you’re in Berlin, give me a holler. If you’re a publicist in Berlin, please [...] Have I forgotten to send my dear readers to Cold Hard Flash? It’s pretty much a one-stop info-shop for all things Flash-animation-production-related. Wondering what TV shows and movies are produced with Flash? Look no further. (And yes, they [...] |
