Jitters

Rolling into the final week of preparation for the film. I can't do all that needs to be done. There's only one way to make this thing work -- let it go. By design it has to be what it is. Freaking out is not going to help.
It is really fucking hard to embrace the unknown.
Super tough to let the work inform.
I finished writing David's brokeback Mountain rip-off story. I added a brutal racist coda.
Being in one place and not having to get everyone on a schedule is very supportive and requires less work than the usual production.
I have to work out wardrobe and trust that people will come up with something workable. I'm sure they're all going to wear clothes.
I am letting go of much of the cutaway stuff from the stories within the story - so many costume changes for Heath and I.
We'll have to go up to the lodge and steal exteriors, rent it again or come up with some crafty compositing. Who knows.
Jordan and I have some fun ideas for that stuff.
Should be interesting.

I have to buy 75 tapes for principal photography.
75 hours of footage is a Tetrabyte of Hard Drive memory.

That's three solid days of footage to sort through, log, capture and select.
Going to have to get into FCP multicam.
