"MONTREAL COUNT-DOWN
09.24.07 @ 9:24
Tomorrow begins the big ten-day count-down to finishing the first half of the shoot, our sojourn here in Montreal. We then move to the desert north of Beijing to shoot the epic ending battle where the Terracotta Army takes the field once more. There are over 700 visual effects shots in the film and a good percentage of them will take place in the last twenty minutes of the movie. I am still on schedule which is as much a miracle to me as to the studio brass. There have been many days of elation and many moments of pain but, overall, it has been a shoot of smooth flow and meticulous detail. I've been editing behind myself because in a large VFX movie like this, I have to turn over sequences to Digital Domain and Rhythm & Hues, our two VFX houses, before the whole film is cut, or shot for that matter, just to make the delivery date in early July.
Todd Grossman and I have been putting together another video clip that we'll be able to put up this week exploring why people who work in the movie business have chosen this field. It's funny and insightful.
We also are going to post a few new photos of Brendan Fraser, Michelle Yeoh and Isabella Leong, among others.
Thank you all for sending your congrats on the impending birth. On Thursday, we'll find out how many are coming! Yikes!!! It means a lot to me to feel this connection with you all. Vic Armstrong was right about this blog thing: even though, once in awhile, there's something trollic, even that is okay as I feel more connected to the very people for whom I make movies. That connection on my laptop has proven to be another fantastic dimension to having the privilege of this career I have chosen.
Bye for now.
