Walk The Line

Ok so I finally have a release date for Walk The Line (I cant believe the the only link I could find was from some review site). Anyway the date is Nov 18 2005. 'Whats the big deal?' you might say 'Are you a huge Jonny Cash fan?' Well there is no denying that I do like a bit of Mr Cash's work, but thats not the point. The point is that when the movie was being shot, I lucked into a job painting different sets and some of the props for the movie. I dont mean anything special or nothing. I just got to paint some walls and some desks and trash cans. The link takes you to a page that has a link to the trailer. Of course I was obsessing over trying to see if I recognized any sets that I may have worked on. At the very very end of the trailer it showed him inside Sun Studio looking out from the control room. I painted the trim and helped faux finish the walls of that set. Thats pretty cool.

I also worked on several sets at the airport in Millington. There were at least 3 different sets that I worked on out there. I was kinda funny. We were painting an old old airport to look like an old beat up air force base but with a fresh coat of paint. Then we aged it so that you couldnt tell it was fresh paint. I discovered there that a medium grey is alot more burnt seina than you might think. We were touching up some desks before we distressed them. Right? So we touched up spots where the paint had flaked off, then we used more paint to make it look like the paint had flaked off. Yeah you read that right. It was kind of a surreal experience if you could imagine.

My step-brother, Spencer Schilly, shot a film in memphis last year called 'Send In The Clown'. I could find anything that linked directly to it so I just didnt. however I did find a way for those of you that care about indie films and would like to help support this film click here and buy the 'clown' shirt. The $35 is supposed to go to helping fund this film. The best of luck to ya brother.
I hear that there is another movie about to be shot in Memphis. Maybe Ill get a call about them needin a painter. I wont hold my breath. That was a really cool gig.

I do actually have things to say other than just blabbering about indie films and me getting to get in on painting the sets. However I dont really feel that I have it in me to go into all the other stuff at this time. No, it wouldnt be prudent at this juncture.

And oh yeah, heh what do you think of the new layout? I just moved somethings around a bit. Im thinking of tweaking the color scheme abit as well just probably wont get to that tonight.
