Final Steps

After the blog went up last week I had a chance to talk with Max, a fellow filmmaker and former LCC winner, who put me on the right path to find a decent way to compress the entry so we wouldn't require a ridiculous amount of bandwidth. As of September 13th, the entry has been accepted for the competition. Last I checked, the entries are allowed to go public about noon on the 28th, after all the entries have been received, and the judging will be that Saturday. Exact time still to be announced.

With the entry being processed early, we have at last been able to turn our attention toward the last scenes for the promo short. Storyboarding and scene breakdowns were completed, followed by costume tests:

 

 As we are planning a long and complicated shoot day, this was followed by a scheduling and logistics meeting, where we blocked in the various phases of the shoot day, running from early morning to 9-something at night. (Not to worry, not all of you actors and extras will have to experience all that. The crew, on the other hand...) With the current elevated fire danger some locations may not be available, so we're definitely praying for rain between now and then. A strange thing to do here in Oregon.

This looks like it could be our largest shoot yet, so here's to the adventure. We'll have one more update between now and then, so until then!
