Production Day Five

The house was sold so we had to rush a shoot day. we had originally planned to film the next weekend but we only had the key for two more days. Everyone was very cool about it and showed up on time even though I was ten minutes late. We got a lot of film that night. I managed to fill in a lot of holes. I tried getting some supplemental footage with my computer camera. The resolution is not that great but I though the extra film couldn't hurt. Unfortunately I had not practice well enough using the new computer cam. Somehow the files never saved to my hard drive. I don't know what the problem was but I have found a better way to save the files. I rearranged my database of footage to comply with the movie time line. Now all the files go in a specific place and can be retrieved a lot easier than before. The organization database is the best tool I have found for the movie project. I really like how this is turning out. The marketing plan I have for the film is going to have some changes. I feel that this film can really take a piece of the market if advertised correctly. I think it will be great practice for the future when I have a real budget. Here's a clip from the fifth day.

Storyboard Concepts

This is the most dificult problem so far, making an accurate storyboard for the movie. Bakk has helped a great deal with the organzation. I wouldn't be this far without her help. We made a card for each single segment of the scenes and we need to finish the complete set with all of he splash pages and animation included. Once that is done the editing can continue and the graphics designers can create some art for the film. Here is an example of the storyboard cards.

Production Day Four

Sunday was fabulous. Everyone was there in great spirits. Our film was great. We had some intense scenes with Amean and Christina, but she is such a good sport. Amean threw her around some more and even choked her in a few scenes and she was still up for more. I love actors. In any other situation I would be arrested for doing that to another person. But in the movies everything is fake. Here is a clip from Sunday.

Production Day Three

Most of the actors had to cancel on Saturday for various reasons. I got some footage of the Evil dungeon and outside footage for driving scenes. I wanted a little more with the actors but few scenes have less than three people. This might be something to consider when writing the next movie. It helps to have a large number of scenes that can be shot with a fewer amount of actors. All in all it was great that we got over 45 minutes of film with less than half the cast! Here is a clip, Super Bakka is fighting with herself. This was filmed to be cut into the fight scene with the other actors. I left the finished cuts out because those shoots were on a different day.
