BTS of Day Two (I was too focused on getting everything going Day One I didn't hand my camera to someone)

My awesome DP Sam (in green shirt) and Key Grip/Dolly Grip/All Around Cool Dude John set up lights while Sound Op Cassie stands (or sits) in for the talent.

Actress Logan gets a feel for being on the crew while Gaffer/AC/AD Travis models the new West Coast "C47" look.

Logan really liked the slate.

"Is that a dolly in your pocket or are you happy to see me?"
The guy I rented the HVX from had this awesome pocket dolly, so I took it for our third day of shooting to get some nice camera moves in my "cozy" house that the doorway dolly we had the weekend before couldn't manage.

I really enjoyed your Timefest entry. I'm glad to see you back for this Fest. Good luck.
 
I loved your timefest entry. It was in my top 5. I hope everything goes great for you this time around! Congrats on the crew!
 
Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. I can't tell you how excited I am about this film. This Fest even. What a great idea for a theme.

Oh hey, I like Sam Naimen, he gripped for me on one of my shorts earlier this year, way cool dude.

Yes, Sam is great. I'm glad I got him on board as DP.
 
Still in pre-production mode here. I've assembled a crew and worked out my main location. I still have to lock down a second location for a brief, yet pivotal scene. Fellow DVXUser Justin Durban is also on board to provide the musical score, which I am extremely excited about! Next up: Auditions on August 23rd!

Hi Amy,

very much luck for your film - lovely to see you back with a new entry. To have a good crew is like to have a family - compliments!

Best wishes

Susanne
 
I remember you from last fest. You have Justin Durban already? Must be nice.
"You go girl". (In my best politicaly correct ethnic voice impersonation).
 
Well, I accomplished a major production task today - AUDITIONS! I don't know who was more nervous, me or the actresses! I haven't auditioned someone in forever, and that was for a stage play. Casting decisions should be made by early next week and I will update the front page with the new details.

Next step: Get crackin' on nailing down my second location. . .
 
The film is cast! I found a great mother-daughter "team" and am really excited to be working with them.

In other news, I got a lock on my second location! Only one scene takes place there, but it is critical that I have it or the film won't have a solid conclusion - well, as solid a conclusion as this film can have, I suppose ;) .

Off to do more producer type things . . .
 
Thanks for the kind words Alex. I'm also looking forward to what you've got it store this time around. :)
