I just spent the WHOLE weekend subtitling the film in English.
I finished today at 5 am. It was a lot of fucking work.
On friday, my PC busted and spent that night fixing the damn thing
Sunday night, little Ricky was sick and we took him to the ER. We had to stay there all night...
oh well, at least he's fine now and I finally finished with the subtitling.
phew...

Finally
Finally good news!
My Grandpa is getting a lot better and spent the afternonn with him and my sister Luana.
I also heard back from someone who is willing to represent El Escape in a very important way. Obviously I cannot detail any info but is very good news considering all of the hard work we have put into this film.
relief.

Last 2 weeks
These last 2 weeks have been really hard on my family. My Grandpa Wheeler is in the hospital for removal of brain clots and it has been very stressful.
Everything went well but he is going to need intensive therapy for a month!
Oh well, I am back in editing mode, and finally finished yet another rough draft.
So I should be finishing the whole thing in 5-6 weeks.

Del Castillo Music
Yesterday evening, Chicken, Chato and me went to see Del Castilo at Sam's Burger Joint.
Their show was really cool.
I actually met Alex (lead singer) very cool guy.

MTY: Mission Accomplished
What a relief.
We finally mastered all of the orchestration pieces.
We covered the WHOLE movie. The soundtrack sounds amazing. The musical production of "el Escape" is finally over.
Very special thanks to Valhalla Studio in Monterrey, N.L.
Rica "Waris", Fer "el Dude" and Giuliano for their hard work and enthusiasm.
You guys kick ass!

MTY Day Two
AAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!
We woke up not knowing what would happen.
The studios were awesome. Guillianno and Fer "el Dude" saw our flick and liked it very much. They started experimenting with the arrest scene and sounded very, very cool.
We finished at about 10 pm. I called my old friend Mario Aldrete.
We went to his house and trade stories and some beers. very fun.
Today we are going to experiment with some crazy instruments and see what we can come up with.

Monterrey Day One
We got here by bus, we got picked up by Rafa and Oso.
We had a burger (homemade by the way) and screened our rough cut.
The initial reaction was silence (not good) followed by somewhat criticism. Everybody "said" it was very good.
After they explained every detail, they thought it was very emotional and very, very good.
Next Rica started to play around with the guitar to some scenes. We'll see today how it goes in the actual studio.
A very good 1st day.

Rough cut screenings
The rough cut was finished 2 weeks ago, but a bettered version is coming up almost on a daily basis.
The rough cut, as of now consists of temporary music score, scenes not color corrected, audio is bad, audio effects are missing and one small scene missing.
The response has been very positive (as expected), the feed back has also been interesting.
The sugestions are so powerful that we are going to reshoot 1 key scene and several other cuts that we did not like.
Thus far, at least we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. so that is very cool.

Last scene shot.
Well, we have just shot the last scene we needed. We just need to reshoot a scene and that would be the last of our shooting.
We've been shooting since March 13 of 2004 (3 weeks full from March 13 to April 4th and on some weekends) I have been editing scenes since April.
We have accomplished a lot. I can't believe we're almost there. Alonso, Paco, Chicken, Roger, and the rest of the cast and crew have been extremely creative in this film and they are already excited about our next project _______ (Untitled).
Everyone is excited about the rough cut of EDLS. I am glad to see that everyones work paid off really well.
Gaby has been really patient and helpful. It get's kind of frustrating when you have a real job, a movie to make, a wife and a cool kid to hang out with, and above else clean the house.
I'm really excited that all of our work with EDLS is finally coming to an end.
On March 12th we will lay down the orchestration for the film and also readying a final cut.
It's going to be really cool.

Diary of a Madman
In this little corner of cyber space I shall be posting my ocurrences in my career as a movie- maker.
Progress on our current film "El Escape De Los Santos" (which is in post-production) and other new ideas and stuff on moviemaking.
I hope this provides some sort of entertainment and benefit.
Anyway, we are just minutes away from filming THE last scene of the film. I can't tell you much but it involves a federal agency and there's talk about a donkey show (?)
more to come.
