Conversations With the Enemy.

Okay, well I seem to have shaken off the kidlit readers who had found me at my previous blog, so enough with the thin veil of anonymity. Fortunately "Michael Reynolds" is a fairly common name and as long as I don't include the book series name on the blog I doubt Google will point a big arrow at me.

For the duration of our documentary film project I'll be blogging over here:

http://profile.myspace.com/conversationswiththeenemy



We may add other sites in support but we're starting in MySpace. Our intent is to cut and upload "conversations" video every night from our squalid hotel rooms. Ordinarily I'd want to be enjoying a lovely meal and drink too much but you know me: I give and I give and I give for you people.

Our director will also be blogging on the MySpace page and we'll try to get the producer and the cinematographer to kick in some contributions as well.

We'd all love to see suggestions for the doc. We're laboring to make the entire process as transparent as we can, as honest as we can. I hope to have a first bit of video -- maybe some man-on-the-street stuff or even just some B-roll on the night of the 24th, (London time.) That first day though we'll be jetlagged and bleary so we may just fall asleep.

The first real day of shooting will be the 25th, in London. I'll be embarrassed if we don't have some video up by then.

“Conversations With the Enemy.”

    I have to admit that first video on the MySpace page is a bit of a shocker. I always figured your voice would be more of a booze soaked growl, kind of like Dicky Barrett of the The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

    M. Tak let loose on the world at large with a mic and camera. Interesting things shall occur. Both clips are interesting. Stay on point with the smoke and mirror answer folks.

    I wish you great luck on the project ... and offer this little piece of advice ..... make sure the camera is OFF when you blow off steam!
