Hey Cinealma--

Good job on scoring a DP in SoCal. They all want an arm and a leg. Well, not all, but most. I remember when I had to search for one, met some COOKY people but it turned out for the best.

Your worst case scenario sounds pretty fun. Building a set in your backyard sounds cool, man. No matter which way you walk, hope you get what you want out of it.

What part of SoCal are you in, anyway?
 
I'm up in Camarillo, about 40 minutes up the 101 from L.A. (well, 40 minutes at 4:00 am on a Sunday morning).

I'm hoping to secure a warehouse or empty building for a week that has power. That way, I can schedule some regular shooting hours. My wife is acting as the production manager on this one, and she's going to put some calls in to a friend of hers who's in real estate. So, I'm crossing my fingers.

I have a mini-wife. It's really called a girlfriend but she tends to act like she can run my life... so she'd might as well be a wife.

Good luck on your location. Those are a biotch to score in CA without much money to pay for insurance and all that. Guerilla style.
 
Congrats on the home depot discount - we're all jealous!

Let us know how the meeting with the DP went.

Any partucular strategies arise for the shoot? If so how did you get there?

The meeting went excellent. I think I really lucked out in finding a local DP who's into what I want to shoot. Also, he's an NYU grad who studied experimental filmmaking. What more can I say? :thumbsup:


A lot of the "strategizing" is still to come once we have a location locked to build our sets on. One thing we are going to do is shoot MOS and add all of the sound in post. There's no dialogue in the film, so we have the luxury of not having to deal with location sound. So, we should be able to knock out, what, 150... 200 set-ups a day? :)

I'm doing a LOT of the sound design ahead of time, so that will definitely save in post time. Another strategy, I guess.
