Here it is the final editing

we were no selected for the contest

the main theme for the video was "Your Perfect World"

our theme in spanish "su mundo pluscuamperfecto" it´s mean "their World Pluscuamperfecto" Pluscuamperfecto is a verbal form in spanish for: have had, had have...

the trend sponssorship was a vodka, all the people did something like having lot of fun with the vodka

that is what we did

it was talked longer with David, we have two options 1- to do what was expected or 2- to do whatever we want

what do you think that we did?

it is easy when someone is a Pirate

there is no an other option that to live like a Pirate

who cares about the prize

when the most important is to do what do you want

Rum!

Alchemist spinoff 2

Yesterday Felipe Ochoa(my coproducer) and I reached the director of periodism career at a local college, the UDEM (University of Morelia) to ask for an sponsorship/ coproducing favor. The UDEM has a very cool record studio they use for educational purpouses, and this guy knows Felipe since a long time ago (beer partners, that is ;) ) and he said: GO AHEAD!

This is very encouraging! he said there's no problem since their goal is CREATE, CREATE, CREATE. It's nice to know people out of the bussines with the resources and the attitude to break inside without all that crap you have to deal to make your vision come true.

Anyway, maybe we'll be having problems to get an sponsorship because this is a long project and there's no way they can see their ads as sooner than a year. We need to find the right people, not only looking for the brute money. It's gonna be difficult. The deadline to apply in the goverment production program is may 24th and we still need get some documents. I hate paperwork.

I decided to take off the 35 mm filmprint from the original budget, it was consuming at least the half of the total and they only can give us 15000 dollars for a year of production. 7 minutes in 35 mm costs arround 8000 dollars in Mexico, no way. I'll invest more money in men/hour than materials, since we'll do it all digitally and we already have the hardware and software to do it, I'll make my bet for a filmprint sponsorship once the short is finished. We'll manage only DVDs by moment.

Why we need a filmprint? many festivals only accept exhibition copies on 35 mm, wich I think is very stupid since most of the people who goes into festivals are short in money; we live in the digital era and DVD, VCD or HDV are more affordable formats, and many festivals already give you a free filmprint if your work is selected. Maybe I'll just skip those festivals.

Well, let's see what happens. Espektro out.
