How the magic happens.

Pondering lighting. And life.

Discussing shots.

Rehearsal on set before shooting

Time for my closeups and getting notes from our director.

Over the weekend we did a little guerilla filmmaking with our production company. When we started this company at the beginning of January, we discussed the various projects that we have ideas for and decided that we should first shoot a few short scenes that we wrote so that we could get our feet wet before we move on to our bigger projects. See what works, what doesn't. Being a group primarily made of actors, we are used to being in front of the camera and don't have that much know-how behind the camera.  But we're learning! And that is the point of shooting our scenes with no money invested and no other goals for them except to use them on our reels or as little youtube sensations.  Yes, we are using books to create our tripod but that is what guerilla filmmaking is all about. Our company shot a scene last Monday that R. wrote and the scene we shot over the weekend was one that I wrote. I'm excited to get it edited together. It is a quick two minute scene called "Writer's Block" that took us about four hours to film...which is how the magic happens. I'm excited to share it with you!
