In Fort Worth, construction on the set for Circle Theatre's production of Exit, Pursued by a Bear is finishing up. I'm kinda on-call to go help on building trees. And I still have a bit of set dressing to do, though the bulk was done last week for picture call.
Yesterday I had the first big director/designer meeting on Hank Williams: the Lost Highway. This went very well - we came up with what I think are some good ideas and (what's even better) we seem to be on the same page. The director and the designer understanding each other and having complimentary goals is a wonderful thing! Because the schedule's a bit tight on this one, we're meeting again tomorrow to discuss the solutions I will magically Presto! pull out of my hat today. (If only it was as easy as setting a hat on my board.)
Tonight is the first production meeting for Kitchen Dog's production of Detroit. I have a basic idea on that one, but need to ask more questions tonight, then fine tune the design, then whip out fast construction drawings this week.
What else? I've been working on a writing project and making preparations for a trip... And, since it's as hot as the hinges of Hell here right now, there's a certain amount of swimming and lawn watering going on. Plus icy-cool movie theater sittin'. I recently saw Red 2, which was fun (all those distinguished actors obviously having a blast) and Pacific Rim (a well done, popcorny fun, robot-versus-Godzilla-y rockem sockem film). And in the less popcorny, pay-more-attention-to-details film category, I rewatched Cloud Atlas on Netflix... I really do like that film. The book too. An excellent writer! (Earlier post on it HERE.)
