THIS time (unlike my timefest entry) I guarantee that you will understand everything in the end... The whole time I was writing I always asked myself the same question: "Will Edgen say, 'I don't get it'" If the answer was NO, I started over.
 
Looking good....I'm going to need an update, after all, this thing isn't going to make itself.

......or IS it? (insert evil laugh here)
 
I have the first set of auditions tomorrow.

Can't wait to see what actors will bring to it!

Fun fun FUN.

I heard John Belushi brought a chocolate cake to his SNL audition (fo real)

Sadly, none of the actors brought me any kind of edible sweets. It DEFINITELY would have swayed my judgement.


I've been meaning to post updates... but I'm running on full throttle. Thanks for the nudge Susanne.

Here's the short version.

Auditions went really well. Pretty small turnout, but I got two fantastic actors. What they brought to the script was better than chocolate cake. I even had to reshuffle the shooting schedule so that I could use one, losing two crew members in the process. Sorry ZaZa.

Yesterday and today, built an awesome doorway dolly. Take that Matthews!

Found a sweet key prop today (the ball)

Connected with an awesome Production designer/ associate producer/ props man/ great guy who is as passionate about this stuff as I am, (and accomplished the two things above)
You're the man Chris!

Made a first-draft shot list and storyboards, and lighting plan.

Frantically working on machining my new DIY DOF adapter, rails, and follow focus. I am CRAZY. I should've pluncked down the cash a long time ago for an SG or RR or something, but I'm too deep now to turn back.

Rehearsal with the two main actors tomorrow.

First day of shooting is a week from tomorrow, the big day is Oct 6th.

I said that I wouldn't be rushing this one and leave everything till the last minute, but here I am again- rushing at the last minute. My blood pressure is probably sky high, my nerves are being abused, I only have time for a few hours sleep.... I am ALIVE! I love this movie making stuff.

Never fear, Anti de Presence will be here, Oct 27. :thumbup:

This is rockin! I'm really looking forward to that 15 1/2" dolly shot.:)
...and you get a fresh paint job out of the deal too.

Really... great job on the dolly. Let me know when the FF parts arrive & I too like the wood rails.:thumbup:
 
Today I had a non-stop (not even for a pee) 10 hour machining session and made the real rails. I think I built them tough enough to hold an imax camera, so they should be just fine for the dvx.
Say goodbye to my "woodies" :shocked:

I also made two connectors for the dolly track, extending the shot another 5 feet.

Now for the follow focus. Got Zaza's old gearbox to tinker with.

Friday morning is the first shoot. AHHHHH!
 
Friday shoot was a success!

I had the best crew. They all came down the night before and tested the setups, so everyone knew what to do when it came time for the shoot.

This is the first movie I have been able to rehearse with the cast and crew. It makes me realize that REHEARSALS are really important, especially when actors have only two hours to get into makeup and shoot 3 setups, one dolly shot, and one crane shot.

I had two rehearsals with the actors, so they knew what to do and only needed a few takes to get what we needed.

BTS pics and video coming soon.
