04/25/2002: NOT
a slow news day.
All of the Davis' house locations have been secured, that means
that half the locations are set. We're also looking into another
location, one in which all the action happens. Only 6 more to
go.
Jimmy, Jimmy's Boss, The Old Woman, Dave, and Kevin have been
cast. Only 3 more roles to fill. Things are starting to fall into
place. Upon completion of casting and securing of the remaining
locations things will be in full swing.
Jimmy will be getting his lifecasting done soon, Were-Chihuahua
appliances will be following shortly after. With that, the fun
begins!
05/14/2002: A little slower now, but still plugging away
Well, we're going to a few of the locations this week for some
creative problem solving, lighting and sound issues to work on.
Storyboards are about 1/2 finished, at least rough ones. They'll
make it up here as soon as they're finished. The lifecasting might
get squeezed in this weekend as well.
Mr. Stanley has been cast. Mrs. Persons may have been found,
which just leaves Jimmy's mom.
Added a few pages with the cast and crew as well as "The
Rest" which covers anything else that doesn't fall into the
other categories.
05/19/2002: The rough storyboards are done!
Yes, and now they're on their way to the real storyboard artist.
The lighting and sound problems are really non-problems. No lifecasting
this week, trying to reschedule that for the near future.
We're still trying to take care of the final casting, but once
that's worked out we'll be setting the shoot dates.
06/04/2002: There have been some shakeups, but nothing
major.
There are some issues with a few of the locations, but we're
trying to get them sorted out as soon as possible. Things are
in a holding pattern right now until these issues get taken care
of. The rough storyboards
are up, and a very talent comic artist is refining my stick figures
for me. Scheduling conflicts have postponed the lifecasting but
with the end of the school year things should get moving right
away. The whole process is interesting none the less.
07/06/2002: Well, I guess "NO!" would best describe
things lately.
Locations may very well be my death, they're still the biggest
problem right now. Conflicting schedules and lack of communication
have also proven to be a bit of a problem. I've been a little
busy with other projects so I haven't had the time to dedicate
to my poor "pet" project.
10/07/2002: OK, things ARE going to change, this I swear!
Well, with some festival deadlines coming up we're going to start
from scratch, again. Casting, locations, crew, everything. As
soon as things are in place you'll see them here, have faith.
11/03/2002: Well, at least things here are busy.
What that means is The Paperboy has been pushed back again. I'd
rather be busy on paying jobs then working on a pet project of
my own for nothing but personal satisfaction. If something
major happens between now and spring I'll consider making it this
year, but I'd rather push it back and wait to make something better
when I have the time.
