Saturday was a lazy day, spent napping and playing at Clicks with Brian, and then headed home to Grinnell. On the way, I stopped at Wal-Mart to pick up some foamboard and paint for chroma-keying, and when I got into town, I drug Mike out to his new place so we could paint the foamboard. Came back Sunday afternoon do discover it had blown all over his yard and the paint was pretty much as non-even as can be. Grr. We're never going to get this filmmaking off the ground. Then, Sunday night at Brian's place for a little Adult Swim.

Monday, true to its Labor Day nature, was spent doing largely... nothing. Barbecued with Kathy & Kevin, the Fatties, and Diana, played a Clue-spinoff game, did some reading, and watched a little of Kill Bill, Vol. 1. All in all, a good weekend. I just wish these big ones rolled around more often.

Back to the idea of chromakeying, do you guys think painting some sort of surface is my best bet, or does anyone have any idea on where I can get cheap, sturdy, smooth material that's either this shade: (#00FF00) or this shade: (#0000FF)? 'Cause we don't really have any money to build sets or get permits to shoot at places (or, for that matter, to hire actors).

I made a movie quite a number of years ago. It's short, small, and (in case you don't understand it) wasn't really supposed to make sense. It was just an excuse to play with the camera and iMovie.
