A New Shot

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Well, I’m starting in on a new shot.  I’ve chosen a clip from Roxanne – a great movie from the 80’s with Steve Martin and Daryl Hannah.  It’s a version of Cyrano de Bergerac set in modern time.  I’ll spare you the plot outline and just jump directly to the clip I’m going to use.

I like this one because it starts out rather intense, then just devolves into parody as Daryl Hannah’s character completely mis-hears what Steve Martin is yelling.  Feels like there’s a lot of good opportunities in there to have fun with the acting and some of the facial expressions.

I’ll post up some of my planning, blocking, etc. as I get it done.  I’m still looking for a job, so this new shot is going to be playing second fiddle for a while as I make sending out my reel a priority…

Wish me luck!
