The Beacon: November 21st 2001

Andrew Hill (Dan) came over today to record his lines for the phone conversation with Sarah in the office. I’m fairly confident now that there are no more 2D FX for me to do, other than the one I’m working on at the moment, except of course for all the compositing of Mike’s 3D stuff when it’s done. My next task is to lay some basic sound effects for the test screening. I’m also drawing up a publicity schedule, and vaguely looking for a volunteer who lives in Malvern to handle flyer distribution, illegal flyposting, and a particularly quality guerilla marketing tactic I’ve come up with, which is to put a placard into the hand of the Elgar statue in Great Malvern. Another facet to the publicity is to shoot a music video for toe-tapping punk combo King Monkey, whose song Dressed To Kill – about an action heroine, will feature on the soundtrack. Including as it will clips from the film, the video will serve as an extended trailer which can be publicised in its own right. Speaking of music, I’m currently accepting demos from composers who reckon they’re up to creating a nice big Hollywood score for da Beak.
