Drama: Preproduction Update
The story and concept has been developed and we are awaiting to see who our casting options may be. We are searching around for some locations and are on the right track... trying to leave some room for the sponsored location that we will be given on Wednesday.
Drama is always a tough one - for one, it is very vague and can be done from various different angles - which makes it hard to focus. Also telling the story of the rise and fall of a character in 4 - 7 minutes is a difficult feat, but I love a challenge.
I work visually and like to prepare myself by surrounding myself with imagery, sounds, and moods that will accompany the project. I have MEGA BEARD RECORDS thinking about a dramatic score and cannot wait to see what they have come up with.
Tara Pfister-Minogue (also my wife) will be participating as a actor in the film as well as helping to shape the overall story and process. I am considering some big things... that may or may not be able to be done in the time line.
Needless to say my preproduction time has been spent more on organizing the whole project and not specifically on my film yet... but that will come. At noon on wednesday I will be focused on creating a great short film.
I did however create a mock poster and I think I have come up with a title. "The Strange Attractor". Happy shooting!~
