Impressive - just finished shooting a feature and somehow you're still the first one to have shot his entry (as far as i know)

Way to go.
Congrats on the shoot - looking forward to seeing it.

thanks, Luis. I'm considering a title, different from the working title you commented on before. it suits this picture pretty well and the phrasing bears significance beyond just being provocative, but it contains the f-word. so i'm waiting for some feedback in the LoveFest Rules thread on its usage first.

Hey Zak,

looking f*cking good

is your joint B&W or just the publicity stills?

i'm leaning that way. and had planned for it. but we were inspired (in the moment) to make some interesting lighting choices with the color pallette, so i'm torn in half at this point. of course addison will have his say. in the end, whatever emerges in the final edit will determine the appropriate look. maybe i'll do a color version and a b/w too?

tbd.

I'm psyched to see some images.

How did the "improv" work out?

here's what happens when you improv the way we do... you block the scene with the actors, then place the two cameras. and over the course of roughly 15 takes, you are making adjustments to camera to capture/reveal the little nuances of the scene as they develop. meanwhile, the actors are honing the scene down, getting it very tight, still discovering new little nuggets along the way. and what you come away with is enough material that you could cut the scene in a myriad of different ways because there is something spontaneous and fresh or unique about each take. very exciting and very difficult to edit because you ultimately find yourself having to cut great, great stuff that will not likely see the light of day. not a bad situation to be in, but making the choices is hard.

i'll have some images up later this week. prepping for the Heart of Now wrap party tonight!

Cool poster. Kind of sets the mood for the story.

thanks leenewton, the truth behind that poster is it was an existing snapshot of John Woods that I had seen on his myspace page. he emailed the original file to me and i did the mock-up. if i ever do a print version i will have to call him over for a photo shoot because the resolution of the original pic is not nearly high enough. unfortunately.

Oh I can attest to this, I've done about 6 improv shorts and the extra footage just ends up being inside jokes with everyone involved in the production.

Good idea for the love fest. I've been considering doing the samething (improv) but I haven't had the inspiration hit me yet.
 
okay, one grab. i don't want to "give it all away", this early. will post more as we get closer to feb 14th.

you know, Matt and I had this little hoax planned, where we were going to photoshop a RED ONE into the background of a behind the scenes photo. anyway, we DID shoot on a pair of Canon HV20s with 35mm adapters. Special thanks to Bruce Allen for loaning us his HV20. I happen to own two but one took a tumble during Heart of Now and won't turn on anymore.

what the hell, here's another. but that's it for a while...

All praise (and insults) for the imagery should be directed to Matt and Addison.
