FLOWER a flyin' monkey films production

Getting submissions from the students. Getting excited to meet them all now. This is a picture of one of their work:

I'd comment....but it seems the Fat Monster thread is THE place to be!


Oh... and that chick should see a doctor.
 
Just got a commitment from my 3D Modeler/VFX guy, Mike Watkins to do the VFX work on the movie. I went to college with this dude and he does phenomenal work. I'll link to some examples of his work soon.
 
Storyboards... I really miss having Andrew's Rebel XTi around to shoot with. Gave me a good sense of the actual LOOK I'll be dealing with. I'll have to look into borrowing one later on once e secure the location.

Sent out new scripts and instructions to the cast and crew and I'm talking to Tony about his friend who is a producer in Toronto. Trying to gauge his interest on coming on full time as a producer on this. He's got resources and time that I simply don't have so hopefully I can get him on board the project. More on that later.

Did a calculation on cost of food for the crew for the 3 days of shooting and I'm still shaking my head in horror. With vegetarians on board the average meal cost goes quantum since they can't be lumped in with the regular meat eaters, so the Costco option, while viable for nice hot lunches... well it's looking less attractive. I have to see what restaurants are in the area and if they'll offer some kind of discount or even donate food to the cause. If I can get 3 to commit so there's variety and no cold-cuts for lunch or dinner, I'll be happy, the crew will be happy and we'll all be well fed. Food is fuel, and good food is like rocket fuel.

Time to get my schmoozing face on.

I told you i'd bring my own food! People like me (I also don't eat dairy or eggs...vegan shenanigans and all that!) have to assume that people won't be able to accomodate them! I'm totally fine with bringing my own snacks! Worry about everyone else!
You know me, I'm a trooper!

Feh: 2 of the makeup people are vegetarians.
 
UPDATE: Looks like Tony is going to be out of town for the dates of the shoot. He's heading out to Montreal for some personal business or the other, so I'll have to make some other arrangements. We're going to hit the location once we get it confirmed and take photos of it as well as do the basic lighting design with diagrams and the like. Hopefully we can get the place for an hour or two so we can see how certain light setups look... and not have to pay anything for it. But all depends on where we get the location and how cool the owner is.

At least it's just one main lighting setup, so we'll try to design for mood and then focus on some soft light for fill light. We'll see how it looks.

Wonder if we'll get any windows...
