Fonts, Fonts, Fonts!

I love fonts! Dafont.com and I have been good friends since way before this project. So I revisited my old friend and got to scrolling! And then I realized there's a lot of copyright information that I really don't want to mess up. So I went to Adobe Fonts since I knew there'd be no problems there. Dafont.com will be returned to once I've exhausted my resources at Adobe!

First, I've considered Futura. Duh, I know. It's basically the bread and butter or sci-fi fonts. But it's for a reason! I remembered watching a really cool and interesting video by Vox on the font, which I'm going to leave below!

Anyways, 2001: A Space Odessey, Gravity, and Interstellar all use this font. Because it's a good font! Definitely putting it under consideration.

Another one used by Kubrik is Gill Sans Nova. I'm not sure if it'll fit in with our movie, but I won't knock it until I try it!

The rest of the fonts don't have much background behind them, but I did enjoy how they looked.

I went back to Dafont.com and found some fonts I really enjoyed. I emailed the creator of the Qualy font to ask permission for the use of his font. I'll update this as necessary with the response.

I also found Ijskelder which is really cool as well. It's a much different vibe. I also contacted this creator to see if I'd have permission to use it.

No working title just yet, but I'll put up a post with all the working title and the fonts later. No choice will be made today, so, stay tuned!

We Got Filming Permission!

Robert and I got to thinking about where we would film. Sure, we could film in a bedroom, but that would require a good amount of cleanup in order to get it to look retro. In addition, it would be much harder to find retrofuturistic mise-en-scene to turn my room, or Robert's, or our actress's into something that would realistically work. Sure, there's nothing "real" about the world we're creating, but we want to make it look as if we're actually in the future that looks like the past.

So there was only one thing I could do.

Turns out I was completely forgetting that Weston, where Robert and I live, has a retro-themed diner! It's called Lucille's and would require minimal hassle to get to. (Our music video set in Las Olas was rather complicated to organize).

And she's cute!

So I got to emailing the owner, and she said yes!

Now we have to get a solid filming schedule...
