37. The Double

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

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.

35. The Tear Down

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Welcome back to the construction blog of Brian Sarvis and Joe Carabeo’s newest feature film, Help Wanted (Working title)

I’m gonna keep it real simple for this post.

Here’s is our diner set.

Of course it needs some decorations and some dressing to make it complete, but there is still something very off about it. We looked back at the photos that we’ve had on this blog (which has now become a picture reference for us) and decided that we don’t really like the aluminum in the background.

It was a half punch so to speak and we wanted a full punch. We felt that if weren’t gonna have a full back wall of shiny aluminum, that maybe we shouldn’t have that one piece of aluminum there at all. It was sorta of a tease.

So we decided to tear that sucker down and put up a matching chalk board.

Well, you know what’s next.

We gotta make another chalk board.  (And I just wanna make a movie!)

VIDEO – So how do we get this all to fit in the truck??

VIDEO – It actually fits!

BELOW – We can only look so cool doing this.

Below – Back to the measuring

BELOW – Back to the cleaning

VIDEO -  And of course back to the cutting. (Feels like we’ve done this before)

Again, the creation of the frame.

The stain

and the black board…

But in all seriousness.

There was a big decision that had to be made. A decision that would change the landscape of everything that you’ve been following.

This name has to change.

And we’ll tell you why at the next post.

Thanks for checking out our progress and following us through this journey so far.

Time to start placing bets.
