Hey Gang
I need your help. I am editing my James Dean documentary and I got the idea to have Jimmy narrate a couple short clips in my film about the drive.
Nothing long or controversial. "Just the facts" stuff short and to the point.
This is the first test of an AI voice over I created. It is rough but wanted to see if it was doable and worked. It is not meant to be deceiving or taken as "real" or "lost recording" or anything. It is just a storytelling device.
"James Dean" telling the story about driving to Salinas in first person is more interesting than just listening to ME tell the story. It helps bring people back to 1955 and makes the story more immersive.
I am narrating the modern day memorial drive so the film cuts back and forth between sections of the drive. Jimmy talking about Competition Motors, then me talking about the Annual Memorial Drive in the modern day, then Jimmy talking about stopping at the gas station, then me and so on.
The first test is slower and has an old radio and static sound to it to make it feel more "contemporary."
The second test is faster and sounds like a more modern recording. It is clearer and more like a documentary voice over recording.
Both have jazz music and garage noise in the background.
Please lt me know what you think. It is not "public" yet so you need the link to find it.
Usually film making is not a "democracy" but in this case I could really use some unbiased outside input. What do you like or not like about it?
I REALLY wish they would have done something like this BEFORE they made the last 6 Star Wars films............😲
Thank you and Merry Christmas!

My film "Vector: America's First Supercar" it is now available on Vizio.
This brings the total number of streaming channels showing the film so far up to 11.
Vector AFS has also won awards or been selected for 11 Film Festivals so far.
So yes -
"It goes to eleven......" 😎

As an Independent film maker I understand what it takes to get your "artwork posted on the refrigerator door"

Ridley Scott is famous for making over 1000 TV commercials before he got his first feature. Many others started in commercials as well.

The success or failure of my Vector film is 100% on me with no help or backing. Advertising budgets today are bigger than the filming budgets of early epics like Cleopatra, Ten Commandments and others.

I think it's time for studios to get back to telling good stories on smaller budgets before they are completely gone.

I am deep into post production on my next film James Dean's Last Drive and creating an AI voice over narration using James Dean's voice. It is not a gimmick. It is a new and engaging way of storytelling. It just takes imagination, talent and the cooperation of James Dean's family who like my film so far. 😎

A small town kid moves to California to build America's first supercar meant to compete with the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini. The 50 year history of Vector is told through interviews and never before seen photos and videos.

As much as I hate AI there is a time and place for everything.
I have done a lot of Photoshop work in my life but AI is out of control. I have seen 100 AI photos in just 2 minutes scrolling Fakebook. Birthday photos for people long dead, fake animal rescues and "fake news" stories trying to brainwash people.
I am thinking about using James Dean's "voice" in my James Dean film with the help of AI. Not to lie or mislead buy just a few lines to help people connect with him across time 70 years ago.

So I guess I am starting a new collection.
Film and TV PEZ dispensers. LOL
I found a Duck Pez from Silo and aged it to match earlier this year.
I watched one of my favorite classics "The Big Picture" a couple weeks ago and had to have a Snowman PEZ.
PEZ People performers are actually Michael McKean and Christopher Guest from Spinal Tap.
Best $8 I ever spent! 😁😎

KPBS spends more time asking about your gender, pronouns and identity than asking about your ACTUAL story, talent or experience.
Just makes me want to PUKE!!!!

Besides being completely illegal to ask these questions they are signaling that only those who comply will be accepted no matter how good your film is.......🤬🤬🤬🤬

These questions have NOTHING to do with how good you are at making a film no matter who you are.

Going to be the last hurrah for James Dean's Last Drive

Hey Gang
The 70th Anniversary of James Dean's last drive is in two weeks.
It will be 10 years since we started the JDLD cruise. The JDLD documentary is in final post production after many delays.

If you are planning to make the Drive on Tues. Sept 30 or on the weekend before let me know. If you want to get together with others and do the cruise either part way or all the way to Salinas you can network here and make plans. You can join a group or go on your own. Directions are available at www.jamesdeanslastdrive.com

I am planning to make the Drive on Tues. Sept. 30. Plans are to be at the old Competition Motors site near Hollywood and Vine (1219 Vine Street) around 10am and leave by 11am.

You can follow me if you like as far as you like and get the tour of where everything used to be - Competition Motors in Hollywood, Casa de Petrol gas station on Ventura Blvd., speeding ticket site in Bakersfield, Blackwell's Corner in Lost Hills, Crash site and Memorial in Cholame and SCCA race track at Salinas Airport.

Take care and drive safe. The life you save may be mine! 😎

So I knew that The Stunt Man was filmed at the Hotel Del in 1977 but I did not know they also filmed at Mary Etta's in Flinn Springs. 😮
I just watched it on a streaming channel and it has so many more meanings to me now 50 years later.
