Getting ready to shoot

I'm at the edge of the great endeavor! I have the script and cast and location and tomorrow I shoot FAt Men Don't Run. It's been a pain to get everyone on the same page and in the same place to shoot as everyone has wildly conflicting schedules ("I can't do saturdays" when no one else can do sunday). I have had other issues with cast, one of the actresses broke her collarbone, then the replacement realized that he had a conflict in scheduling, forcing me to step in. I hope it works out. The Plot moves on.

Progress, ever progress.

The script is done and now I must battle the weather. In order to make the most of what short windows of good weather I will have, I'm setting up some barebones story boards and blocking diagrams to expedite the process of shooting. Dear god I hope this weather holds.

Bam, script DONE!

Finished the first draft of the script for Fat Men Don't Run. That's my movie you see. So after meeting with Jason we've decided that I need to do some storyboards and camera diagrams to solidify wat I need to do. Considering that it's February and my shoot is outside, I'll need to make the most of my time. I have permission to use locations I've scouted and written around (spoilers: It's in my backyard) so I'm all set on that front. I'm beginning a lot of the other preproduction and I can't wait to start shooting.
