Holy sh!t am I tired! lol For me it was a 14 1/2 hr day in total by the time I got done putting the last piece of hardware away. wow, I'm wiped out and I only got to rest for 4 hrs after all that before I woke up for work. I feel like this guy: :cheesy: , drunk from exhaustion.

Anyway, everything went great for the most part. My shot list of 76 shots was cut down to like 2 shots due to time! lol j/k but it really was cut back a lot because we had to get out of a location as the owner had plans for the space.

Our very own Vitaly Bokser was my DP and he did a great job. Being new to the director and camera man aspect of things, I learned a lot from working with him and I look forward to working with him again someday.

Actress and actor were really good at their craft and the grips were awesome, especially since they've never been on a set before (the grips that is).

Screenplay was originally written by another one of our very own Future User (Will) but it took a huge turn as I wrote a totally different script two days before we shoot. EEK!

Anyway, when I get home tonight I'm going to start dumping all of it and begin editing tomorrow. I have a few more shots of the location to lock down which I can do on my own and hope to the footage that we captured will tell a good story.

Damn I'm tired.
 
coffee, welcome to the world of filmmaking, fun eh?! nice to hear you working with some fellow dvxuser's as well. I am lucky enough to have one (thats all I know of) live close to me so we have started working together a bit, always good for bouncing stuff off one another and learning!

definitely share that beautiful bean footage once you get a bit of it rendered...
 
yeah it's cool to have someone to work with like that, I agree....... Hey man, your avitar looks like a zombie movie in the making!
 
going to start another thread in a few minute with some behind the scenes pics.... I'm chopping them down to a reasonable size now.
 
Cool, I wish I had a script to work with...

My sister and a few of her friends really want to star in one of my films but I'm not a good writer...

I'd shoot almost any kind of movie right now.. well, I wouldn't shoot one of those stupid "romantic comedies" but I was thinking of making a film that makes fun of them (Hey, that wouldn't be a bad idea!)

Sorry for changing the subject but what's a good way of finding a good writer without paying a bunch of money?

Thank you,

God Bless,

Peace
 
I know the feeling dude.... Hey you know what! Do a search for CMessino (I think that's his DVX member name) without saying too much, he's a good writer and has been at it for a long time. Maybe he'd be willing to send you one of his old scripts...... Hey one man's garbage is another man's treasure!

Just an idea.
 
coffee, I will go look for the other thread now. cool! the avatar is my ode to all the zombiness here, I am not making a zombie movie though, it's a pic from "BOGO". is that what you just made (zombie movie?)

davie1987, make a zombie movie, everyone is doing it (um, except me) and they dont need much in the way of story. uh oh, here comes the hate mail... :shocked:
 
lol, yeah not much of a story to most zombie flicks..... Nah, we we're shooting a different type of horror/thriller flick.
