Production Notes VIl
Schedule at the Bottom updated as of August 30, 2003 (Feb/2004)

Okay, what has been going on! Well, I am here to tell ya that things are good and bad. Well, I lost a lot of time because of my Mac breaking down! The good thing is that I could do a lot of little things in the mean time while it was out of service.
August 11: BATCAVE in studio recording. I went by myself with the Canon and filmed the guys recording a brand new single called"OBEY". The guys are young but real professional. The location was ESP Studios in Takadanobaba. Roadrunner Records's Ms. Eto has been great with helping us out with the band. I stayed there all day and left around 9:30pm. I couldn't believe it was that late! It really takes time to record a song!
August 12: Akos and Kaori were able to come and work with the Boom and interviewer respectively and Keico(editor) came along to check it out. The interview took about a little over 45 minutes and then we stayed to get some reaction shots of the guys listening to the new song. The Sound Engineer"Ken" was a nice guy seemed to do a good job mixing the song. After that, we when out for some good food and drink on me of course! Ha,ha.We found a good cheap place which we all must go again.
 
Next up: August 31@ Harajuku
Time to find the girls again. We really need to get that interview with a fan and a parent @ someone's house. So Yumi and I will do our best.
Update:9/1/2003 Well, it was hard finding anyone good! So we will try again but I think the best way is to find them at a live house!
Things left to be done:
Sunrise Shot(Redo)
Opening Scene with Flower arrangement
Time Lapse shot of a busy day and night for Tokyo
Interview with Merry
Interview with Radio VJ or DJ from Japan.
Update as of Feb.5, 2004
As you all know, after a long battle my father passed away. So it has been difficult to think about the film and getting back on track. However, he would have wanted me to continue and succeed so that is what going to happen. So the plan is to have a follow up interview with Kagrra since they are making their major debut this coming March. Also, Merry has still be hard to contact but we must make it happen!
Finding the fan and the interview at a house is also key! So will must work hard for the next two months.
Staff Reunion is at Baseball Cafe, Tokyo Dome on Saturday, Feb.7th at 8:00pm. We will have fun and talk about what needs to be done and how to do it!
