I just got back from a wonderful time in the Midwest, with a speeding ticket and who knows how many hours of great footage in tow. It all sounds great, too, thanks to Brad, who's had to put up with way too much lousy production audio on my movies in the past (who also, over the course of the weekend, saw Inland Empire for the sixth and seventh times). We celebrated the end of production by having sushi for breakfast this morning, and then I hit the road to the alternating tunes of the most recent Clipse album (which Brad passed on to me) and all the amazing old fashioned country stations that fill the airwaves throughout Oklahoma.
Here are a few frame grabs, which should give something of an idea of what the movie will be about. Or at least what it will look like.
Incidentally, I ran into my first problems with the P2 system. I was using a P2 Store to hold all the footage during the first day of shooting, but it somehow managed to eat about two cards' worth of material (luckily, it was all stuff I could reshoot). The next day I brought my MacBook to the location and just loaded everything directly to my hard drive, which I'll continue to do from now on. Better be safe, if somewhat lugubrious, than sorry.
I can't wait to start editing! Unfortunately, I have another film to shoot tomorrow. But I can't wait to start editing that one either. Everybody wins!

Yep! Remember how I told you there were big billboards right by 44 that said Speed Trap Ahead? That's exactly where I got pulled over.
