Cure for Writer's Block: No. 9

Eeeks, that poster is pretty creepy. I do not envy you though pushing your shoot back a week. With as much as we STILL have to do, I am super glad we got shooting done last week...
 
Looking forward to this one ... I'm not quite sure what to expect, but that's a good thing.

Good luck with starting the shoot late .. I'm right there with ya

Thanks for the word-up on the posters. Yes, it will definitely be a ball buster shoot, but I've got 6 free days to put in for post. I think I can pull it off, by george.

Hey John, did you do your casting today? If you did, how did it go?

Tom, as far as I can tell, it went fine. This is actually my first casting experience. I interviewed eight actors this morning and I'm trying to decide between two, maybe three, of them. I was a little nervous and anxious about it, but after about two of them, I kind of got into a groove with it.

The only real problem I had was that the place where I was renting a casting booth from is on Highland, and it just so happened that today was some cycling event, so the whole northbound side of Highland was shut down from Hollywood down to Melrose or further. So traffic/parking was a pain in the butt for the actors.

So now, I need to make a decision. It's going to be tough, but I made a deadline of Tuesday to have the cast in place. So, just gotta pick one!

The smaller parts I all ready have cast with friends and family, so that was easy. :thumbsup:

It was mine too... and yeah, after the second one, I felt much more comfortable! I've got about 30 to choose from. This one girl came today and wound up staying for a couple of hours. She kind of got a free acting class... :D

This one guy came in yesterday and kind of scared the crap out of us... the guy is supposed to kill the kids at the end and we though he was gonna kill us! So I said... 'wow, yeah... you're hired.' :cheesy:
 
Haven't updated in a while. Busy, busy, busy, you know!

Lead actor has been cast. I'll be contructing flats this weekend have all the props, etc. purchased. Still working on effects. A pain, but real fun.

I'm going out of town on businees most of next week, so I really have to get everything organized this weekend before I leave. My wife has been a real sport in letting me pretty much turn our house into a movie studio. :thumbsup:

We prep on Fri. 9/22 and shoot on Sat. and Sun, 9/23-9/24.

I tell you, I'll be SO relieved once it's in the can. Then I've got a week to post, which will be pure bliss.

Yep. Gearing up to shoot the f*cker. I SHOULD have everything good to go by the end of this weekend. When I get back in town on Thursday, I'll start putting the sets together, painting, etc. AND, if all goes well, we can prep and pre-light on Friday night.

Looks good on paper, anyway. :happy:

:happy: JDS, are you just razzing me now or what?

It's 1:00 in the A.M. here on Friday night (or Saturday morning, however you want to look at it). Call time is 5:00pm tomorrow. I still have a SH*TLOAD to do. But hey, this is filmmaking baby! I'll be dead by Monday, but I'll be smiling! There's a pile of gear stacked up in the corner. Thievery's on the CD player keepin' me chillin'. And I'm sucking down a giant Coke from JntB to keep me awake.

My DP will be here at 2:00pm and Tom (tommyinla) and Chris (7CS) will be here at 3:00pm to lend a hand. I'd better go now and get back to work. Sleep is for, well, those who get to sleep.
