Pre-production is rolling along.Last bit of equipment aquisistion. Tweaking script and shot list. I have a decision to make in regards to the lead role. My first choice backed out due to scheduling conflict (Hello?! We are making a movie here....shouldn't that take priority?!!!) Ah,Life....it's better on film.
What kind of budget do most other people have for their movies in the Fest? It may not be appropriate to ask..like asking a lady how old she is, but I am curious. Not counting equipment that I already have, I guess I am spending very very little, $150 (maybe $200 after I buy food for everyone...)or so I guess.
Post (That was supposed to say PRE!)production is essentially complete ( is it ever really complete until you are actually filming?) Just waiting for our shoot day and tweaking everything.
I would really like to have a real photographer to take the still shots I need, but it looks like I will have to do it....man, I have to do EVERYTHING! 8 days and counting to shoot day.
You know....I think he could! But it would have to be old school tube socks that you can pull up past your kness with 2 fat red stripes a the top. He just sent me a picture of the steady cam rig he built.....very cool.
Posted a few pictures from our first day of shooting (1st page of thread, 3rd post down) All in all, things went well. Had a few sprinkles fall from the sky. Had more pedestrain traffic than I expected, but a good day. The lead, Bobby Rapson, did a fantastic job, as did Darryl Glen, who travelled up from Tennesee to shoot his scenes. Enjoy
Another day of shooting mid week if the weather cooperates. Getting close to completing principle photography. Composer has been secured. Waiting to hear about securing rights to one song I want to use.
Principal phtography complete. Our final day of shooting went really well. Thanks to all involved. It was a great learning experience. Some BTS stills are definaltly coming soon. I never had time to get any Day 2 shots up. ( I swear I had the swine flu last week! Feeling much better now, thank you ) Won't be long now!
