20 hours till shoot

things are pretty much laid out just a few more things to do on production's end:
- talk to mom about borrowing her cheque book to issue post dated cheques on monday
- talk to alma about the shots
- look at the designs for the ID chip c/o Bon

I've spoken with the art department yesterday, did shopping for supplies with karr, got an ad/pa and spoke to her, spoke to Bon about the special effects, emailed the call slips and location maps and revised script, picked up the lanterns from Arkeo (in their far-flung office), finished

All that's really needed is to pray that the art dept could get everything down pat at least for the sequences before lunch. Then they can have the morning to prepare everything else for the after lunch and evening sequences.... I think we just have to wing it. Positive attitude. Good vibes. Have a ready plan B, C, D...

Am killing time... I'm not sure there's anything left to do except for the above mentioned tasks. And of course go over the board, and pray. Maybe get a massage...

Here are some costume pics in their almost-done stages... Designs (and gruelling labor) by Mike Tidalgo. Pics taken at their homebase in Cieg's apartment







and some video footage from our occular visit at Pioneer Studios (video c/o Amanda N's digicam)





and some pictures during the line-reading & costume fitting at Karl's house (photos c/o Amanda & Mike)
