i'm hoping this thread will motivate me to actually put something together and enter a fest this time around. i don't have a script yet and i'm pretty much doing everything by myself. so this could turn out embarrassingly bad (but hopefully in an entertaining way). :thumbsup:

i have some exciting news to share. yesterday i purchased a sweatshirt from target for $5. size: xl, color: chili pepper red. even though this exhausts my budget allotted to costume design, i'm sure that you will find this money well spent. i'm debating about whether to post a picture of me wearing the sweatshirt or not. showing the shirt may get people excited, but not showing it could also help build anticipation for a big reveal.
as far as writing goes, the rough draft is about half way finished.

i finally bit the bullet and invested in better lighting. yesterday i purchased 2 "daylight" light bulbs from the hardware store. cost: $4.59 each.

yes! my strategy is not to use any money on the actual film, but rather spend my entire budget paying people for their votes. so any free ones i can get really helps.
:happy:

here is a picture of a storyboard i did earlier today. although my drawing skills aren't the best, i think this illustration is fairly accurate and self explanatory in what it depicts.

my film has nothing to do with Christmas, but i do find humor in the random.

Based on the storyboards, will the lead actor have disconnected arms and legs? :)
Seriously, Best of luck with the film.

so i actually did some filming today! unfortunately it turned out awful and i'll have to redo everything. i forgot to tell my sister that when she was filming me, the manual focus was on and she would have to adjust accordingly. the mic was also in a couple of shots. the good news is that we only did one scene! :)
What camera are you shooting on? No autofocus?
Dude you should do an arrested development type show.

dvx100b. i like to use the manual focus when i shoot, but it would probably be easiest for her just to use the auto.
i'll check out arrested development and see how they shot. :thumbsup:
Have you seen that show? It's frikkin awesome. It's shot in a little bit of a 'reality tv' kinda way but I was more referring to the humor in the show that I think you'll like.

Ha ha, I love that show. If you look closely, my avatar is GOB...:)
Come on Uga, bang this bad boy out. Regardless of the problems, just get it in the can. You'll be better for it.
