Se-Ma-Fore: they’re the Pixar of Poland- a two-time Academy Award winning animation production company that’s been operating out of Łódź for the past forty years. And when we showed up yesterday, we got the VIP treatment: a studio tour (including the workshop where they’re in production of a new Polish TV series), an interview with the Oscar winner himself, and we even got the go-ahead to use clips of their movies in our movie. Like… whoa!
Earlier that morning, we got a taste of the live action scene when we toured the Łódź Art Center and saw a small film crew hard at work. The warehouses have been converted into sets, gallery space, and offices for creative development. I’m beginning to see why David Lynch loves this city so much. He shot most of Inland Empire here, and recently he met with the President to discuss building his own Łódź studio.
Thursday afternoon was a relaxing one. For those of you keeping track, I did laundry. Woo! Then, I took a nap that lasted longer than 120 seconds, and I wasn’t in a car. Double Woo!
It’s getting down to the wire. Philip leaves on Sunday, so we’re gonna have a couple of crammed days coming up. Then again, we’re making a movie; there’s not really much to complain about.
Took a while for me to get the title. Now I get it. You clever, clever bastard.
ReplyDeleteAre you just gonna stay there forever, listening to the rain and hanging out with skinny chicks in your skinny jeans, working as an Extra on David Lynch movies?
with extra mayo?
