Jan 1st - The final status check thread

Off to Florida this morning (flight leaves @ 7:00 PST). Will be working on audio mixing and color correction, while here in LA, my composer will be scoring the film.
 
holy moly, its 530 AM, just finished props, organizing gear, reviewing Barry's DVD and adjusting some camera settings and I leave in an hour for an all day shoot (first day of shoot).

Ai Carumba!!!!
 
Well, tonight I was frustrated with the script and full of energy, so I left the apartment at 3am for a good long run. Best idea I've ever had. I not only came up with at least half a dozen viable fixes for the script, I found at least two new places to live!

Fast forward a few hours and I've got a finished 5-page script. Can I shoot it in 2 weeks? Probably not. But it's done and I'm happy with it, and it will get made, even if it has to be in February. Oh, and it might be slightly cheaper now, depending on how nice some people are to me.

Good luck, let us know how it went.
 
I shot all of last night and the night before. I managed to get a couple of people pretty bruised up, so I'll say they were productive shoots.
 
Well it Rained and rained ..The snow was starting to disappear and I was worried ...No snow means I couldn't continue where I left off ..
Man I envy you guys down south .
The good news it has stopped and the temp has fallen , looks good for this weekend .Maybe we'll actually finish .

Thankfully we've got all our footage for the 6 minute edit, and the locked edit is complete with it to the composer now. But to finish the film with the additional two minutes or so we have to shoot, we have to have ZERO rain ... which we've been at like 85% humidity for the past week, raining for a week+ solid. However, at least we're not in a crunch for the fest, and will add the additional footage before we cut the DVD for cast/crew.
 
Well, I gotta dump girlfriend and move her crap out, AND light the Golden Globe Awards--two precious January weekends totally blown away. That means, IF all goes well, I'll have only ONE weekend to shoot AND post.

Envision,

Don't envy that Southern weather too much. We had to shoot all of our rain stuff in below-freezing weather. Ice on the boom-pole, stands and my head. It sucked. We are still looking for the chance to shoot a film in the snow. I know it will look great...I don't care if I have to dress like a polarbear.

Dave,

We managed to get J. to come out for a small part. As expected, he kicked that ass.
He's been working out for a series and he's all buff now. He makes a good SWAT cop.
 
Snow would be technically more challenging to view in, but I always love seeing footage that takes place in the snow, specifically if it's actually snowing!
 
Could always just travel up high enough in the mountains & go to where the snow is. Could be some great vista shots in the BG then as well.
 
Oooooooooooo. Shot two...well...not really scenes....just shots...tonight. Two of the three most difficult. The rest is cake.

Finally. I still have what? Three weeks to finish? :grin:
 
everything is shot and being cut as we speak. we lived in an office building for three days and it feels good to be back in a real bed! i'm beginning to get excited...
 
Yeah norm and sound wouldnt be problem as well, just the fact to get the actors and enough crew and power up there could be but who knows :-p
