“…always present your best cut.” That was probably one of the more useful pieces of advice I got from Editing Professor Bill after I screened the first cut of Cubicles yesterday to him and Editing Professor Sandro. I felt the screening went pretty...

During a futile attempt to contact the publisher of Office Space Planning, it hit me that I have a blog with readers (many thanks to FreshDV), so referring back to the previous post, I’m on a quest for B-roll. I’ve got plenty of pre-cubicle footage, but...

This will be a fairly short post because I have a lot of work to do today. Right now I’m on a search for B-roll – any footage that will support or better illustrate the documentary. I mentioned the Prelinger Archives before, but now I’ve finally had...

Within about an hour of this morning’s post, I get a phone call from the UPM of the other thesis film that’s been shooting since last Thursday asking if I’d like to be an extra because a bunch of their extras didn’t show. “Suuure”...

For thesis films we get three days of shooting. The original plan for the thesis I was working on was to shoot the final scene today, but it would have only been half a day since the actors had to leave by noon. Instead, we finished early last night so the decision...

Day wrap. Off to Moe’s for some dinner. # Off to set. # Setting up for next shot in a few hours. Playing ‘favorites’ in the meantime. # Finished completely rearranging a family’s living room. Hopefully I took enough photos to put it back. Now...
