Greetings, one and all! Real life made this week fairly… fun. To avoid unnecessary complaining, suffice it to say that there are some parts of life that make one wonder “Didn’t we just leave this party?” But anyway, despite that I do have a shiny picture from the work last week.
As this Sunday was Mother’s Day, the stunt teem took it off, so I simply labor in front of a computer. The final model for the last shot has been farmed out to someone who is far better at lettering than I am, and we await its completion while we move into the next steps. We continue to hunt for a composer, being repeatedly reminded how blessed we’ve been thus far. While we understand the need to pay one’s bills, almost twice the cost of every project I’ve ever made combined is a bit steep for our budget. So the saga continues. We have several avenues to pursue, and we’re only on Plan B right now. No need to worry unless we get beyond Plan E.
The funny thing about being a filmmaker is that you can spend a massive amount of time doing film-adjacent work, stuff that doesn’t feel like “filmmaking,” but is nonetheless vital to getting the film out there. Kinda like the recurring refrain from some in law enforcement who question their career choice when they realize how much paperwork they have to do. Anyway, that’s where I am right now. Researching, writing, discussing options with the rest of the team… The less fun stuff of the process.
That said, we are looking to shoot a short later this summer that will allow us to experiment with a few new techniques we haven’t played with before, so there’s something to look forward to, eh?
Well, that’s about all for this week. Until next time!
