Picture Lock and Picture Start [Editing]

Feb 29, 2008 |

It's time to flip flop. I locked Lauren's picture on Tuesday, meaning all the edits and cuts are done. All that's left are titles and sound design. Wednesday Lauren began editing my film. I'm not involved in this process, nor do I want to be. She's making her cut,...

Making the Hard Cuts [Editing]

Feb 23, 2008 |

The past week has been all editing, with a few classes thrown in. I've been having a lot of fun with the process. To explain a bit about it, this is the first time we're not editing our own films. There's three editing cycles, followed by three sound design cycles....

Dailies and Director Cuts

Feb 17, 2008 |

Wednesday I finally got to see all the footage from my F3, and I think it looks great. It was a lot funnier than I had anticipated, but it was the comedy I was hoping for. Dry, this-is-life-and-it's-funny comedy. The strange thing about seeing the footage, though, is...

Office Director

Feb 4, 2008 |

Prepare to Sell Your Soul

Jan 29, 2008 |

Today is Director's Prep for my film, and the last for the F3 cycle. Between Production Design and Directing, these past two weeks have been the busiest yet. I feel slightly unprepared, mainly because I have no cast. But I do have locations, and they're great, so...

Producing a Happy Crew

Jan 26, 2008 | ,

Producing is like being the Chief Happiness Officer on set. It's all about keeping the crew happy and the set flowing smoothly. After producing two films, my view is the 1AD works on a micro level, creating a detailed set-up schedule and working shot to shot, while...

Tim Gunn Would Cringe

Jan 25, 2008 | ,

It's been a busy morning, but the action on my part has finally calmed down, leaving time for a little on-set reporting. Today is day one of 'The Groom is Becoming a Tree,' which, as you might have guessed, is about a groom becoming a tree. Since this takes place...
