I released the new teaser from Laurent Hasson written at 2009.09.29_23.31.40 in New York City, USA |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is the new "first 4mn" Time Flies teaser. It's HD. It's 3D. It's
Widescreen. It's dynamic and animated and cool!!! Nothing compared to
the old version i had done almost 2 years ago. It's day and night! I
hope you enjoy it. |

Time Flies is currently on hold for perhaps silly reasons. The relationship between Nick Da Silva and myself has deteriorated quite badly, with no hope in sight. Maybe he's a jerk, maybe i am a jerk. In my regular job, i always focus on relationships and c... (continued) |

Editing is hard from Laurent Hasson written at 2007.10.04_09.33.44 in New York City, USA |

I continue to be amazed at how miscommunication is the root of all sorts of evil. After recording all the actors in July and starting to do my first edit at the same time, i was surprised at how long it all was. I clocked in at 102mn. Working with the anim... (continued) |

The auditions are over from Laurent Hasson written at 2007.05.21_00.46.20 in New York City, USA |

To paraphrase the now famous Mastercard commercial... 5 weeks of auditions, 120 people, 265 samples: $100, the cost of the iPod adapter i used and the binaural microphones. Having completed my first casting, priceless. |
