Production Report for pruitt
Production, as of now, is lagging. i have a lot of b-roll of the setting and whatnot. The cats, although, are slightly retarded and difficult to track down. They like to chase squirrels and have a lot of sex with each other, so im going to probably include some of that - making this a mockumentary. this is kind of an epiphany. i love it. I've been having problems with capturing footage with the HDV cams but i think ive figured out the problem. things should pick up soon.

Hey Pruitt,
I feel ya with the lagging...the original doc. I wanted to do has lagged for too long and now I have to switch ideas. Sucks. For the past 3 weeks I have been in contact with PR for a gym and they kept telling me that "by tomorrow" they would have decided between the two boxers and I could start, but it just never happened. Oh well, I should probably get used to such things because I'm sure it will happen a lot in this industry.
As for your cat project, I could see how it would be difficult to shoot. You can't just tell the cat to meet you somewhere... or tell him to do something for you. You should strap a little camera on his back and let him do the shooting for you. haha...might be interesting...like if he chases down a rat and eats it ...or if he has cat sex it could turn into a cheap handheld cat porno which would be awesome..however, if you do the mockumentary idea maybe you can set him up in a real nice interview location--make it look really professional-- and dub voice over his interview..I dunno... I'm going to stop...I gotta get outta here..I hope things pick up again for you :)

It is true that the only predictable thing about what we are doing is that it will be unpredictable and the real success in the documentary field comes when you transform a seemingly bad situation into a better one. Maybe it is time to turn the camera on a subject other than Cats. And maybe Alex should just show up at the gym with a flipcam.
