Hope everyone did well on the quiz!

We took a look at our Fine Cut and while there are a few tweeks that need to be made, the footage looks great. John made a list of all of the tweeks and Christian is looking at them.

John and Michelle, make sure you get your thank-you's in to Christian- I noticed that Michelle's mother's name and Dr Wilborne's name were both missing. I may have dropped the ball on that one- if so, I apologize.

Our wrap party is at (around) 3:30 at my house on Sunday. If you can find some lawn chairs to bring, that would be great... if not, there's the ground or we can borrow some from the pool area. I will have burgers, cheese, hot dogs, buns, chips and salsa. If you want to bring anything else, feel free, and don't forget to BYOB.

Last night we saw the rough cut of the film. Chris- you did a great job. I feel really good about this project (especially since Rich said that our rough cut is nicer than some final cuts he sees.) I like the ideas that he suggested and I imagine that it should be pretty easy.

Michelle and I are going to get together on the 1st before the wrap party(tentatively) to work on the project binder- If you'd rather reserve that day for fun, I'm open this weekend or next Saturday too- and I can come down there.

I'm thinking that for the park scene, we may be able to get away with some park background noise, but as far as SFX or music, just let me know what we plan to use so we can get all of the necessary paperwork.

We should probably get our Thank-You names into Chris by Friday night. We'll have to include Rich in that as well... can't forget him.

I have a call in to Emily about the DVD covers (amarays) and she has called her sister and left a message. She said she's almost positive that they have some. Regardless, we will know by the end of the day.

I guess that's it... but if I think of anything else I will go back and edit this.

We're almost there. < 3 weeks.

It's a WRAP!!

And... filming is done!!

Hope you all enjoy your spring break.

Week of February 28th

We have found the location, costumes, props, and the cast!

Michelle got the office in Indian Harbour Beach and we'll be shooting there on Saturday March 10th. We will be shooting at my house on the 11th. Our cast is:

Alice: Michelle
Wearing: Black skirt, black headband, white tights, white shirt, black shoes

Therapist: Bill Cooper
Wearing: Khakis, Oxford shirt, vest and tie, and pocket watch

Queen: Marci Cooper
Wearing: Queen of Hearts costume


Rabbit: Emily Earnest
Wearing: Rabbit suit with head, body with black vest, mits and feet

The lady at the costume shop said I can pick up the costumes Friday evening at no extra charge. She gave us the student discount of $45 each outfit for a total with tax of $95.85 (and a $500 deposit so we HAVE to return them!!)

Michelle's mom is supplying the tea set and pocket watch so we'll have to be sure to thank her.

One last thing- it was mentioned that we want Alice's bedroom to look a little more "childlike," so I did a little creative desiging in my spare bedroom. Pictures are attached.
