strange frame: Love & Sax

On this Tuesday, I’ll be doing the schedule for our final mix at Skywalker Sound. This locks in our finishing date.

Like my film prof Ann Alter told me, “Your film is like your child, at some point you need to stop nurturing her and send her into the world to fend for herself.”

Lena Horne, graced our planet with her beauty, sensuality, stunning musicality, and redefined film for minorities, died yesterday at age 92.

Here she is in ’strange frame’.

“Don’t be afraid to feel as angry or as loving as you can, because when you feel nothing, it’s just death.” – Lena Horne

When we started production on strange frame I had a few discussions with some big wigs at Buena Vista and Sony. Without committing anything to our production, they were laying in the heavy talk about doing our movie in 3-D. “If you really want it to sell…” blah, blah, blah.

Well, today, Roger Ebert, wrote a good article about the subject:

Why I Hate 3-D (And You Should Too)
I’m not opposed to 3-D as an option. I’m opposed to it as a way of life.

I write ‘good’ because he outlines pretty much all the points that went through my head some 5 years ago. The few other points that I mulled were outlined in an another well thought out piece called “The Final Word: Is 3-D better than 2-D?” By William Bibbiani.

Both articles are worth a read. I do have a low budget horror comedy in development. It might be fun to make in 3-D because the movie is supposed to be campy. Camp is how I see 3D and now I know I’m not alone in this.
