In Solitude

Walking through the trees...

Beach. I love beach.

Sometimes I visit this place.

Just wanted to be calm.

Hate beach trash.

But what the fuck is this!?

What kind of son of a bitch threw DVD case on the beach?!

Saw many of them.

It was cold there of course, but I really love being there.

Saw a whale as well. lol

I'm going to edit my movie from tomorrow.

That's A Wrap!

The night before the last shooting day,

we celebrated "the Producer & Actor" Yoshihisa's birthday!

Look at his cute face... lol

We just enjoyed a little party on that night.

Okay so let's get things done!

The last day of shooting!

We had some troubles but we got things right together.

I'm so happy to work with this team. They all are incredible people.

And... "That's a wrap!"

Thank you so much to everyone who supported for this movie.

I really appreciate you all!

I'm going to edit from the day after tomorrow.

The last shooting day is just the first day of Post-Production.

Well, can I take a nap before that?

'cause I just slept for about a hour... lol

Avatar

Goddammit!

I just can't stop this feeling! Still exciting!

I just saw "Avatar" today.

And yes, it was F$%@ing AWESOME!!

I was completely feeling like I was in the planet called "Pandra"!

3D effect was amazing also. I believe this is gonna be a next generation of movie,

and this "Avatar" is just the beginning of it.

If you love James Cameron's film, You got to see this!

If you love Sci-Fi, You got to see this!

If you love movie, You got to see this!

...and I was so shocked about the news of Brittany Murphy.

I still cannot believe it. I really love her work...

R.I.P. Brittany Murphy

FILMING!

In the early morning...

A quick meeting.

And the shooting of "Kids Under The Bridge" just has begun.

YES! Lunch time!

Shooting continues...

Everything is going well so far.

This movie definitely will be a fantastic one!

The last day is this Saturday.

COMING SOON!

Before I Start

Everything's ready.

I will go to the location tomorrow, and start filming from this saturday morning.

It's definitely gonna be SO FUN!

So exciting. Or maybe I should be nervous a little bit more...lol

Today my cousin and his daughter visited my house.

Her name is Misaki.

She has unlimited energy to play.

And I got good energy from her, as always.

Okay, I believe I will be back here to report everything with tons of pictures and videos few days later.

Hope it'll go well.

Bad Acting??

Check this one out!

A classic, isn't it? LOL

My favorite is the guy screaming "Oh my god!"

Notice there was a fly on his forehead!

I guess those kind of acting and the visual-effects makes movie a classic sometimes.

A classic for some people, like me.

映画の楽しみ方はいくらでもある。

だから、たまらない。

Actors!

Met many actors today!

Yuko and Asami.

Toru and Sakura.

And Hiroshi! So happy he'll be a father in one month.

I stayed at Hard Rock Cafe in Ueno over 8 hours!

But I just didn't feel like so. I was enjoying the time with them so much.

They all will be in my movie "Kids Under the Bridge".

Can't wait to see them again on the location.

This Saturday is the first day.

楽しみだ〜^^!

Final Draft

This is the final draft of the script.

Our Pre-Production is almost finish.

Tomorrow I got a meeting with many actors.

Can't wait, I'm so excited.

Our shooting will be start on this saturday.

But few staffs, including me, will have to go to the location on friday.

(As you can see in this pic.)

(meaning, Staff only on 18th)

And we are going to stay there over the night.

That's because we got to have a meeting like again and again before we shoot.

How much we know about what we're gonna do and how we're gonna do on the location, that will change the quality of the film.

Okay, first somebody get me some Energy-drink!

Storyboads

Storyboads.

One of the most important element to make movies.

I know some professional storyboad artists like TOMO (see his blog on the left-side link) but this time I had to draw them myself 'cause we don't have any budget for that, you know.

I tried so hard but my drawings are terrible.

After all things done, I wanna learn how to draw.

It's almost 1 week left to shoot.

Got millions to do.
