TQ Project Updates
The Inner Circle starts tomorrow and I am excited about
that. I am equally excited about the
funeral shoot on Friday. There is a
rumor going around that due to the expected turnout, the funeral may move from
Holy Family to the Virginia Beach Convention Center. I should probably call Monsignor Pitt to
check the veracity of that and how that affects our agreement that I can shoot
the funeral. I will weigh that decision
over the next 24 hours.
Jesse Wieman is working on two more paintings from the Virginian-Pilot
photos. He started these before TQ’s
passing and I look forward to seeing how they turn out. Working the paintings into the film will be
interesting. While my original idea of
dissolving from photo to painting will still work, I think the paintings can
convey their own visual story apart from the photographs they are based
on.
Working in Sony ACID with loop idea for the score. After the funeral, I want to start working
with the BOSS Slicer pedal and eventually put together a “soundtrack” pedal
board specifically to be set up to generate and capture soundtrack ideas.
From TQ"s expanded obituary in the 29 April 2012 Virginian Pilot:
You can't make this up...stay tuned!
