The Cast and Crew

This is my first movie shoot. I've just done a couple of tv commercial(one was posted here)and some weddings. I dont do those any more since my I.T. company took off. So now I want to just make films. Boy have I learned allot. You want to make something nice you have to bust it. Fortunately I have some really good people working with me and that helps. They are willing to do just about anything. Get dirty get kyro syruped whatever the film needs. Also a local band her in Jax is letting me use there music and thats pretty cool, because they are really good. anyway its been fun but tiring. almost forgot the only person not in the pic is Christy Mullis the gore lady. She makes one nasty looking wound. Heres hoping I can make the film look half as good as the people are working in it.

That's probably the biggest key to success in this genre!!! WELCOME to the fest dude. I'm looking forward to see what you guys come up with.
 
Say Michael....why did you boil the blood? I have no experience whatsoever with blood recipes..mine is bought (stage blood by Kryolan) and we don't boil it....is it part of home-made blood recipe or a standard trick to make the blood look/feel ....something....somewhat....help here!
 
ahhh the boiled blood

ahhh the boiled blood

that is a blood skin mix you need to boil it to make it pliable(looks real nasty). All the other blood is my homemade stuff kyro syrup etc...
 
thats no tripod...

thats no tripod...

***your tripo is AWESOME>****

thats my home made steadicam thingy... if you must know its a mic stand taped to a monopod :) whoa cool huh :)

really it helped steady the shots out real good.. we did a test running through the woods down a bike trail and the difference was amazing not steadicam but way better than with out it... I will see if I can find the test video's I made
 
Congrats on your entry, Michael! I know what you mean about learning a lot! I, too, have shot many events but not an actual film from start to finish. Started my test footage this past week. Whoa! So much to think about!

Good Luck! Looking forward to watching everyone's entry!

PS - I am going to have to try that mic stand idea!

That mic stand idea is great, I have one lying around in my place so I will see if I can make it in time for our last scenes.

I dunno, my first wedding was like a horror film. And the marriage the TV spin-off!

Bu-dum-dum. I'll be here all week. Try the veal. :)
