We apologize for the week off, we had something to take care of…which lead to this picture.
(Left to right) Carolyn Belefski, Joe Carabeo, Kevin Smith and Brian Sarvis.
And what script does Kevin Smith’s have in his hands??
Well, it’s a feature film script that WAS titled “Help Wanted”, now it’s called…
And that’s all we’re gonna say about that.
Catch ya at the next post.
Welcome back to the construction blog of Brian Sarvis and Joe Carabeo’s newest feature film titled…
Well, I guess we’re gonna see what we end up titling it aren’t we.
But I bet it’s gonna be something with bite! We’ll keep you posted on what happens. This page will still be titled the same though until then…
Look who visited the diner today!
It’s Curls Studio’s own Carolyn Belefski. She co created such awesome comic books as, The Legettes, Black Magic Tales, Kid Roxy, the comic strip Curls and also the nightly Sketch Before Sleep.
I think you should check out all those pages, they’re a blast…
So the last time you tuned in we were in the process of making a new chalk board/ black board, whatever we end up calling it. The only hassle is that we have to wait a long time for it to dry. So…What else can we do while we lay a bunch of heavy things on the frame as it glues it self together?
Well…
I guess I could always touch up some stain…
I guess, I could also paint the door blue…
Sweep the floor…
So then fast forward a few hours and now it’s dry!
But of course there has to be some sort of problem. It wouldn’t be us if there wasn’t drama. And the drama was…
The frame was too small…
When I mean small, I mean that the actually board behind the frame that we glued it on to, did not totally match up perfectly like how the other chalk board did.
DRATS!
So, with some quick thinking, and Hollywood magic, we decided that we’d just paint the excess the same color blue as the wall that it would be hanging on.
BELOW – Carolyn nails the details.
BELOW – And there you have it! Does it match??? We think so, problem averted. It’s Hollywood right? We’re not gonna be living in the diner.
High fives to everyone.
BELOW – So, by now you know that we’ve started to move forward with the photo shoots for the walls of the diner.
We’ll this tiger clock thingy is the first thing to be hung up.
I know there’s a story to it, but just look at it!
Does it really need a story???
Tune in next episode as you get another peak at the diner photo shoots. That might leave you breathless…
Thanks for tuning in, we won’t let you down.
Hello everybody, Welcome to the construction/production blog of the Brian Sarvis and Joe Carabeo’s next feature film, Help Wanted (Or whatever name it will become)
As we contemplate what the name will be. The 1/2 of the hosts for the lovable riot, The Carolyn and Joe Show, tells a very interesting story about names that she heard from thedollarbin.net
Thanks for tuning in. Catch us again next week.
Welcome back to Joe Carabeo and Brian Sarvis’s construction/production blog of their newest feature film HELP WANTED (working title)
On today’s post we take you behind the scenes of the continuing photo sessions that are happening to decorate Roxy’s Diner. If you missed out on the posting of the last session, you can check it out HERE
This session’s model is the actress and singer Stefani Zabner. She does many great things, many of which you can check out HERE, HERE , HERE and HERE. I also want to add that she’s a blast to have a conversation with and can really nail the glam face, which is exactly what we were looking for on this project. So we’re very thankful she wanted be a part of it.
Our stylist and make up artist for this shoot was the GREAT Hannah Elvington. Simply one of the best, you must check out her work, HERE HERE HERE HERE and HERE , then HIRE her.
Rounding out the team is the, out of this world, Carolyn Belefski. She is an unstoppable force and a crime partner of mine. On this team specifically she was in charge of wardrobe and the session wouldn’t have it’s character without her selections. You can check out some of her other works in other mediums HERE HERE HERE HERE and HERE
Now, let the behind the scenes begin!
As you might be able to tell from the clothes, we’re going in the the vintage outlaw territory for this shoot, I wonder who the inspiration could be?

Thanks for checking out the blog, hope you enjoyed it and maybe I’ll see you next post.
We had three close friends stop by the construction, the art director, illustrator and character creator, Carolyn Belefski, filmmaker and producer, Jacob Pulliam and another fellow filmmaker, Kuni Ohi. It was good to have friends stop by and to see what it was that we were working on. Also, with Jake and Carolyn, who were major contributors to our last big film, The Madcap Three, it was nice to get the creative juices flowing again on a brand new project with people that we enjoy being around and also working with.
As you can see, the skeleton of the counter has been constructed, but there was still plenty of cleaning to be had before we place in the booths and construct the back wall of the diner. This cleaning of the area was a bit of a challenge because majority of what was left in the building we didn’t know where they were supposed to go. So they had to be sorted out and placed in whatever proper place they belonged in. Which we weren’t sure that was. These were movie props and equipment from past productions. Someone had to have wanted them. But at this point they were just in the way.
With the counter skeleton in place and that pink form board as to where our back wall would be, we already started to get a good feeling of how the pieces would fit in the space that we had. The pictures don’t purely give the space justice, there is a lot of room to fill.
