Nov 1 Status Check

Nov. 12, finished the script, have all major roles cast (three) and have all but one location locked. Will shoot at the end of December. Still not locked on a musical score.
 
early nov 13th, same as OLBoy, got the beginning and the end, just need to get from here to there. still looking for actors, got some potentials.
 
Got the first 7 lines of the script, built a dolly, bought all the other stuff the build the sets & rigs & costumes, did a first draft of the necessary CG, talked my wife into playing one of the parts, watched Evita.
 
This one'll be even better. Not one, but TWO naked actors. Well...Aliens. And they're off-camera. Hmmm...maybe that's not better.

But it'll be longer, anyway. Pretty sure. I think.

But it's all dependent on whether I can get the shot I want. If I can't, then there's no sense in making it at all. :cry:

But if I don't make it, what'll I do with the soundtrack music I've already done? Damn. If I don't use it, my wife will kill me. She's been listening to the same few bars over and over and over and over and over for a week now. :grin:
 
Film That!
if you can't get the shot / aren't going to make your film, then have your camera set up with that music looping in the background when you tell your wife that you've been torturing her with your scifi theme for naught and she can just submit that clip for you posthumously hehehe!
Just wear an alien mask while you do it so it will qualify otherwise she'll have to wait until the spring snuff fest
 
Well sounds lilke GenJerDan has the DVX Spring Snuff Fest locked in
... unless he got his alien mask on first ... then he'll have a pretty wierd entry for scifi
 
You guys make me laugh. :grin:

Script is completely locked down. All but two very small roles are cast. Actors are working on their lines. Storyboards are so very close to being done. Hired a Set Designer yesterday and secured locations for the sets to be built. Will shoot on Dec. 15th, 16th, and 17th. Most test shots worked out OK. Working the bugs out of the ones that didn't work so well.

Costumes are still a gray area and my last aspect of that "I wonder if I can pull this off?" feeling. :undecided
 
Script now written. This is the 4th script I've written (completely different storylines) for this contest but I like my newest idea. I massacred it last night, huge rewrites but same storyline.

I've done some storyboards. I've got my shot list nailed down completely. I've built a piece of equipment to do a shot I want. I've got my actors, I have a guy doing lighting for me, and I have a guy doing the camera work.

I've drawn up character designs for how I want everyone to look, and my makeup artist has made the first mockup of a mask for me at 1/3 scale.

I plan to begin shooting within 2 weeks. yay ra!
 
Script was finished a while ago. The two lead characters are cast. In the middle of previs. Set construction begins this weekend.
 
Or we could we could all flop in spectacular fashion while the winner is a film with two people in a room talking. :)
 
"Costumes are still a gray area and my last aspect of that "I wonder if I can pull this off?" feeling"

I've done all the costumes except for my female lead. I just dunno what I wanna do with her. I drew them out first pretty extensively. I'm going with the KISS theory, keep it simple stupid. George lucas said thats what he did with his outfits and if you look they really are very simple in the first star wars movies.

At first I thought you were planning on using black and white face paint, large shoulder pads with metal spikes sticking out, guitars, and giant tongues. Then I kept reading. :laugh:
 
DUDE dont give away my costume ideas, we're not supposed to discuss specifics before jan 31!!!

I hope i don't get disqualified now!!!!

:D
 
I have some really cool pictures of a location we might potentially use. Would it be against the rules to post a few pics up?

I would think so. There is no promotion of your film allowed.
 
just finished the first draft of my script. Time to find 4 actors and 1 more location. I hope to start shooting by december. I'll probably to do most of it during winter break when everyone's out of school.
