    The part with the actor almost not getting his passport hit me hard! That could have been one of my experiences...

    All the casting looks fantastic, and I especially want to shout out Ivica "Dragonrage", I know he doesn't care for the stache but he ABSOLUTELY looks like hes straight out of the 60's in the best way possible. Hopefully he sticks with it!

    Its funny that flea markets in croatia look pretty similar to the ones in the unites states. Some of the rare ones on the east coast are at old drive-inn theaters

    Great insight guys! Would love to know more about financing towards the end of the production diaries if that is ok with you guys! Learning how budget, how much budget per department, how much to put in yourself/find producers and how ways or recuperating the costs would be really useful as most people skip this topic due to its taboo nature! :)

    • @sliceoflifefilm
      @sliceoflifefilm  11 месяцев назад +1

      We did talk a little bit about budget in the first introduction video, you can look it up on the channel. But, yes, we had the idea of doing a more detailed breakdown at the end of the series. But *spoiler alert* - there was no recuperating the costs, haha. This was a passion project and we knew there was no way to earn money on it.

      @@sliceoflifefilm I watch all your videos :). I saw that one but yeah that's what I meant, end of the series total lookback at final costs and how they were divided.
      Also 10x respect for knowing there is no way of recuperating costs and still spending so much to fuel a passion project! Looking forward to the series!

      It wasn't his fault, really. We picked him only a few weeks before the filming and he applied pretty soon after that. You know how it is, as much as you plan, you always end up doing everything at the last minute, haha...

    The little statue of a boy pissing at 9:10 might be a reproduction of the famous statue located in Brussels (Belgium). This statue is one of our national symbols, I kid you not. In dutch it is called 'manneke pis' which means 'little pissing man'...

    • @sliceoflifefilm
      @sliceoflifefilm  11 месяцев назад

      OH WAIT!!! You just reminded me that some years ago we visited Brussels, and we actually saw the "Manneke Pis" statue. It's pretty close to the main square. I remember reading about the boy on the plaque in front of it. I just read the Wikipedia article to freshen my memory. Very intertesting, it originates all the way from 15th century and has been stolen numerous times. Cool story. As you said, our peeing boy prop actually might be based on Manneke Pis! I never connected the dots until now. Tnx for the info! :)

    What program did you use to create the 3d background loop?

    • @sliceoflifefilm
      @sliceoflifefilm  11 месяцев назад +1

      Just After Effects. I positioned the elements in 3d space. Today I would probably do it in Blender, but I wasn't that familiar with it back then.

    How can you tell that someone stinks from a show reel? Don't you need to get close enough to smell them? (a few moments later) Aah ok...that's what stink looks like... ps When you done with the "Peeing Boy" and Matt Simpson (not necessarily in that order) send them both up this end😊😉. Well done boys... and Luca's wife.
