I love filmmaking, but it causes a lot of distractions and headaches. But I'm ready to jump back on the horse and finish up "The Heart of Christmas." I need to get a hold Kyle and Casey about...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/roofpig8737/2463974/6/05 Wednesday I lied. I didn't have the time or energy to write yesterday. Oh well. I did get to see the footage, though. It came out really awesome. The compositions and lighting were all great. I have to contact Kyle soon to let him know (he called me before I got to view it). There are a...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/roofpig8737/2456294/1/05 Friday Shooting was a success. Eric took about an hour and a half doing make-up on Casey, but it looked great. And in that hour and a half I was able to set up and do some shots without the zombie. Kyle is really easy to work with and is a great cinematographer. We ended up getting some...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/roofpig8737/2444053/31/05 Thursday I've passed the point of no return. The first shoot is tomorrow. But despite the natural nervousness I'm feeling, I'm excited. This is my most ambitious project yet, and I got it all together in less than two months. Hopefully the end product will look all right. Tonight I...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/roofpig8737/244000(I'm giving you guys a double update on this so you can catch up to where I am not. I'll try to keep it in "real time" from here on in.) 3/28/05 Monday I got my clapboard and fake heart today. Lucky for me I took the day off of work, so the UPS guy caught me while I was home (although I had just...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/roofpig8737/2436393/27/05 Sunday Happy Easter! Spending the holiday with Katie's family, but my mind is still on the movie stuff. It's less than a week away, how could I not think about it? My main concerns are still the chest and the number of actor/extras. I have solutions (sort of) for both. The chest, if I...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/roofpig8737/2433003/25/05 Friday Casey got back to me. I need to email him back. I'm going to try setting up a Thursday meeting with him. That's cutting it ultra-close, but I'd really like to get a practice run with the make-up....shoot, except Eric is doing my make-up, so I have to see if he's available, too....http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/roofpig8737/2421933/24/05 Thursday Got an email from Casey, my lead actor. He's definitely a friend of Dom's. I responded and asked to get together with him next week for a make-up test, but no answer yet. Speaking of make-up, it came today! Thankfully I caught the UPS guy before he left - I had to sign for the...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/roofpig8737/2418203/23/05 Wednesday I finally managed to get a hold of Kyle (the cinematographer). He seems like a really nice guy. He just forgot to call me back because he had been in Florida. Understandable. I have a meeting with him 5:30 on Monday at UB. That'll be a load off my mind. I also ordered the fake...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/roofpig8737/2413973/21/05 Monday I finished up the behind-the-scenes featurette for "Out in the Cold" on Saturday night. I showed it Lisa, who shot most of the footage, and she thought it was great. Now I just have to finish the actual movie. Stupid audio. I still haven't heard from my cinematographer. He's a...
