i leave tomorrow for new mexico! people have been asking me if i’m excited, and i have to say i’m more stressed and exhausted than i am excited. once i get there, i’m sure all that will fade and the excitement will take over. i did a final revision on the script and the shotlist….
i’m stressed. i work my full time day job, then go home and prep for my film until about 3 or 4 am. when i wake up for work the next morning, the alarm doesn’t wake me up. fear wakes me up! marcia has been amazing coordinating all the logistics. each team gets a standard…
if you are in or near albuquerque, come check out my movie! from the duke city shootout site: 7 days, 6 film crews competing for the coveted Palm de Grease. A shotgun start, 6 movies racing around they city to meet their deadlines. A spectacular world premiere. Including our first ever music video. Hosting the…
i have less than 2 weeks left for preproduction! i feel really good about where we are at this point. my producer marcia has done an incredible job overseeing everything, and it really frees me up to focus on what i need to focus on. CAST – we have 2 amazing actors i can’t wait…
i like to make a lot of notes on the script, like actor directions, camera angles, overhead diagrams, etc. on a regular script page, everything can get cluttered pretty quickly. to give me more space, i like to print out the script in landscape mode, not portrait, which gives me half the page for notes….
here are some storyboards for a sequence near the end of the movie. this is what i worked on over the long 4th of july weekend. i created the line drawings in photoshop with my intuos tablet. then i made a layer of 50% black on top, and then used the eraser too to bring…
i drew this floorplan based on photos and videos that my producer sent me. there are 2 windows on each wall, and a pair of staircases that mirror each other. i’m sure it’s not that accurate, but it’s enough for me to start figuring out the staging of the actors and placement of the camera.
we got a house! marcia found this old victorian house that’s being remodeled. we’re going to use the exterior of the last house, and shoot the interiors in this one. i love the look of the unfinished wood. and it will match nicely with the exterior of the other house.
i have my actors! they are: chad brummett and amy schilling i am so excited to have gotten these 2 to work on my film! their auditions were amazing and i knew they were right for the part instantly. hopefully i can do a good job directing and let them showcase their talent.
i’ll be working with my friend TD Collins again, the same composer who did the score for Martial Artsy! i’m really excited i’ll get a chance to work with him again. his work is amazing.
