Editing: Finished the gas station scene and the third conversation in the car. that means I've got it blocked out to scene 35, which is more than halfway through. Three major scenes remain: the village of Albert; the crater at La Boisselle; and the memorial in Thiepval.
It's going a lot faster, though, when I can actually edit. Unfortunately, I lost time today because the townhouse across the street had two (2) jackhammers going in tandem, almost non-stop for four hours. I'd been prepared for the Sex and the City shoot that's been going on next door since 7AM (the ol' slip a dvd to Sarah Jessica Parker routine, you know), but not the jackhammers. Hmmm, wonder if it's like those leafblowing extortionists I've heard about who stalk production locations in LA...[does no link mean it's an urban legend?]
Music: Not an urban legend, but a legend nonetheless. Bjork's concert in Stuttgart on 11 September took place only a couple of hours after the attacks in NYC (do the time zone math). She went ahead with it, and from all accounts, it was an extremely emotional, moving experience. Turns out she performed a song by Meredith Monk, "Gotham Lullaby," which I'd found on another concert album. Ladies and gentlemen, we may have found our Bjork selection for the soundtrack...
