Last week I was doing more tests in Apple Color. I found that the visual effects I had done in After Effects looked terrible because I had done them in a lower resolution. So I re-rendered at full 1080i. About as exciting as buying socks.
Saw Ben yesterday. His solution to the hair problem is "backlighting" which got me thinking yes, it's a matter of the lighting. I don't want to wait six months for his hair to grow out. So either we'll try to backlight him or go with some shadowy lighting or something to disguise his short hair.
David said he'd be willing to produce and second-unit direct the last shot, a tough one, the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" shot. I may try one more idea I have which is to have paste-ups floating into the air. It may get us most of the way there but with less pain. BTW, Ben's idea about the last shot was to have actual, huge cut out letters blowing down the street. hmmm.
This morning I stopped at Hansen Dam park which I see every day on the way to and from school. It looked like it had a dirt parking lot and indeed it did. It will make a great place to shoot the high angle truck shot. I'll need to color correct it to make the dirt look red like the desert.
