HRGSTW ADR

Kris Nedopak came over to the studio again to finish off her ADR work for Hot Rod Girls Save The World.  

Super Amanda

Amanda Casabianca (AKA Super Amanda) began vocal work for the Kill Switch...Klick song "Killing Machine," remotely down in Northern California. She will record the vocals in a studio down there. This song is a key tune in Hot Rod Girls Save The World. I ran into Amanda on You Tube. Posted some nice comments about the Go-Kustom TV clips, then we got to talking about music and one of our fave bands- The Who, which is a big influence on my music.

HRGSTW ADR

Kris Nedopak came by to do some ADR for Hot Rod Girls Save The World. She is helping replace some broken dialog in various scenes. 

Dodge Polara

Here are a few pics of my 1968 Dodge Polara I just bought and actually just put it up for sale because Chris Darland has found a 1966 Dodge Charger body that we can build up into D.B. Petty's car for The Legend Of D.B. Petty (prequel to Hot Rod Girls Save The World).

HRGSTW Editing

Still chugging away at Scene 38. Also finished the rough arrangement for Killing Machine. The lyrics are being difficult to nail.

Screenplay

Got my newest Hot Rod Girls Save The World screenplay proof copies back from the printers. Look pretty good. Found a few more typos and will have to fix before the final pressing. Honestly this book is just a mechanical movie blueprint. The dialogue is funky and because I kept having to rewrite scenes in the field and because of continuity issues, areas of the work seem patched to-geth-er (as well they were). After finishing the Maps for Anywhere Washington, I definitely decided to write the next story, The Legend Of D.B. Petty (prequel to Hot Rod Girls Save The World) in novel form- then edit into the screenplay. The world of Anywhere is pulling me in. I keep getting flashes of scenes from the next movie and bits of dialogue in my head. I have written several chapters, but didn't like the directions, so I started over again. D.B. is a complex character and I haven't found his voice yet. Some characters aren't as easy as others. His mentor Dusty Mile has already made a few character changes that I didn't expect. That's a good sign and mean that the characters are coming to life in my head. Sounds nuts, but that's how it works for me. Especially since these characters are not based on friends or acquaintances. Speaking of friends, Amanda Casabianca has agreed to do the vocals on the new Kill Switch...Klick song Killing Machine. She will record in a few weeks in Davis, California. This is a remote project, which can sometimes be difficult, but since it's only vocals shouldn't be impossible to get a great sound.
