Day 3 of Production

Today, I moved indoors to shoot some remaining scenes that take place inside houses. Everything went fairly smoothly...largely because my expectations about how many scenes I am going to shoot in an evening are now much more realistic. As a result, I feel better about the scenes that do get shot.

I have been trying to convey some of the mood with the way I have been lighting the shots. I want Herb to have a comic-book detective feel to him. So on some shots of him and the suspects, I have purposely placed some shadows for effect. We'll see whether it works or if it just a distraction for the viewer!

I have completed all of the video shots that talent will appear in. I have some voice overs to record, graphics to create, a theme song to write and cutaways of leaves, needles and flowers to film.

I'm looking forward to having time at Emma to start sorting and arranging these raw elements into something that resembles my story idea.

  1. You have an amazing head start Jon, I think your goal of being done by the end of the lake experience will be a reality. WTG!

  2. Thanks Jon for sharing your production stories so far. I can sympathize with the annoying neighbor stories from working on 802 with Rick.

    I can have everyone sent away from the Emma Lake area next week if it helps you out.
