Today I corrected some long-standing mistakes in the
credits of The Making Of Puzzled: Ten Years Later and Corn.
The corrected versions are now available to watch on the Films page.
Yesterday I made a change in the credits of Puzzled,
since I've been sending the film out to more festivals.
Several people at Cannes remarked that they found the
acknowledgement that it was shot in 1997 confusing, so I
took it out for future festival screener DVDs. For the
record, the film was shot in 1997, with the exception of
one shot (the closeup of Heath's hand near the end with the
red puzzle piece in it), which was shot in January of 1998,
and the opening titles, which were elements from a titles
project I made in a titles class in the spring of 1999
(according to my unofficial college transcript on the NYU
website). I think the craft of optical titles is probably
completely dead by now (just a guess), but I was lucky
enough to learn all about it from Keith Purdy, who most
likely worked on lots of great films, but I can't confirm
that anywhere on the internet (the IMDb has completely
failed me, although it does have a Keith Purdy, and it may
be the same person for all I know). Puzzled, by the way,
was completed in 2007-2008 with new editing, sound design,
end titles, and music. |
