Just got permission from Baylor University's theatre department to use their props. This will save me a ton of money, so I'm super excited about that.
We have a production meeting on Thursday, and rehearsals soon as well.
I've decided to turn my bedroom into one of the locations. It will be a pain in the ass, but I think it will yield the best results. Still not sure about one of the locations.
Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been busy with my fiancee's birthday on Wednesday and yesterday I had both a production meeting and a rehearsal.
The production meeting was great. The crew all seems excited, and we discussed a lot of things and made some good headway.
The rehearsal also went really well. It was with just two of my actors, for their scenes. They worked hard, and took direction well. I think they're both ready to shoot.
I'll try to post a worst day later in the morning.
Forget the short just sell all of these in a book. These are just simply amazing! Okay, do the short too Looking forward to this. And to the 59th worst day!
Hey! Brilliant job with the story snippets. I've really enjoyed reading them instead of doing what I was supposed to be working on. Really glad to see someone emphasizing storyline so heavily.
So are the "worst days" that you're posting going to tie into the short? Is it going to be an entirely self-contained story? Very curious!
In response to your questions, I will say that the more of the days you've read, the more you should get out of the film. However, it is intended to stand alone as well.
In pre-production news, I got a costume piece in the mail. I also was able to borrow a whole bunch of set pieces and props.
Hey all, between reading Scriptfest entries, commenting on them and preparing for our shoot this weekend, I doubt I'm going to be able to post any Worst Days this week. We'll see though.
oh god...what am I gonna do...well I'm better off than the rest of the guys...I get to meet Bartholomew in person...I'm so nervous...its almost like I know him, and the same time...oh god...i need to go to bed and quit fiddling with mine...i'm going to grow to hate it...
Made a final confirmation of a location yesterday, and had a rehearsal with my two leads. I'm still scrambling to get everything I need for the shoot this weekend, but hopefully it'll all come together. Next week I'll get back to writing Worst Days.
