Cast and poster look good. Have you shot any yet? Any grabs?

Thanks, Mark. Not yet on the BTS. I'm shooting this weekend, so I'll definately have some to post this weekend, no later than Monday.

I didn' t take any BTS shots on my last short, but I later realized that this is what's it's all about. The process of seeing how the scene is set up and then how it came across as the finished product.
 
We had our first 2 shoot days over the weekend and it turned out pretty good. Some of the shots turned out better than I pictured, but a few, not so good. Will have to reshoot those. Overall, I was very pleased with how it all came out. The acting and wardrobe was really good and I was really pleased with the lighting. I had a camera crew of three on Sat. (including me - I also was in the scene), and two on Sunday. I also did some greenscreen stuff for the first time. I've been in front of the greenscreen on numerous occasions, but never had to set it up and light it and use it for my own purposes. We'll see how that turns out. I've seen some good greenscreening and some bad - if it doesn't work, then we'll just axe it.

Will film the last two parts of the short this weekend and then I'll post some grabs and stuff.

I hope to tell this story in a very different and unique way. This short will be part 2 of a 4 part series. Script is finished and will begin shooting in Jan. Poster and BTS to come soon.

Interesting idea to shoot part of a series. Have you already created part 1?

I like the close up of the microphone. Looking forward to see how this plays.

Thanks, Robert. Yeah, I wrote all of them together and it's about 20 pages, which may play shorter once all put together. I filmed part 2 and 4 over the weekend and hoping to get 1 and 3 done this weekend. Cutting it close!

Thanks, Jason. I'll definately have some BTS, if nothing else to post this weekend. We should have another good shoot this weekend, because the weather's supposed to be nice.

Woo Hoo! A man with a cam!

I only wish that my garage was that cleared out! (well, I don't have a garage... I have a barn... and it is packed!)

Good luck! Looking good!

Nice. I've had good experience with that green paper both with dvx and hvx. Looking forward to how those shots fit into the film.

But dude, spill some transmission fluid in that garage or something. I'm doubting your manly cred with a garage that clean...:)

LOL. I know, huh? All I gotta' do is tear everything down and pull my dirty a&& car in and then the garage'll look real crappy. LOL. No, my wife's a clean freak and so the garage has always been pretty clean. Everything has it's own little place!! LOL. I did have to do some major moving to set the screens up though. I was gonna' put them up on poles, but my friend had to use hers, so I just got the paper ($50) and my wife and son helped staple them to the ceiling while I was in the recording studio.

Y tu, L-u-i-s? LOL. Y'all are killin' me. At least I had a lawnmower in one of the shots. Can I get some extra points for that? LOL.

We're probably all gonna' lose some manly cred. on this deal anyway. After all, as of right now, we're all a bunch of chick-flick makers.
