Light Softener/Reflector

I made a light thingy. It can act as a reflector to bounce light back across the subject, or can be used to soften light if the light is placed behind it. It is a screen and a white sheet. The height might be an issue, but Jeremy's garage is the same height as mine then it should work fine. If it is too tall, I can just cut the legs down. And it is a little under 3 yards wide.

Google Docs

I've opened the idea to Mike and Jay and they seem cool with it.

As a way to allow anyone to contribute scripts as well as to have access to any updated or new script ideas, I figured we could use Google Docs. I have set up a single file and shared it with all of you. Anyone can contribute to it, and if you want to create your own document, you can just hit Share and invite anyone to that document. A single doc can even be open by multiple people at the same time so one can see real time modifications to any document.

If you have a gmail account you can just access the documents through the tab at the top of your email page.

I will soon try to come up with a script idea to add to the one document that I created just as a starter.

An email invitation should be in your box shortly.

Colored lab?

My first color pass. Thoughts?

The Lab

Just got the lab background from Ralston. Black and white still, no color yet.

Discuss in the comments, or save it and take a crack at coloring.

Request for review meeting friday night

I would like any one who wants to have input for the short to meet up Friday night, assuming were still shooting this weekend, so i can show every one the story board(poorly drawn) and script notes I put together. and basically get last minute changes or ideas added so every one has an idea/input on how the shoot will go. And yes in case people where wondering i was always going to and will continue to have a finally pow wow where people will have access to all of my material for one finally hash through. for the show i will try to have the meeting a full week in advance. since show changes are potentially more time consuming. but i am fairly confident for this short the night before will be enough time. I hope so any way.
