So some new developments on the production front. We gained a production manager. That made us all cry collectively out of joy… then we promptly lost them which made us all cry collectively out of pain and anguish. We lost one of our main actors only to have them replaced by what I think will be a much better fit.
We shot the movie. Well we shot a sketch of the movie. Meaning that we went through our script and storyboards and tried to get every shot we could over the span of four horrifically grueling days. This was, of course, all the week before our class came back from break. This sketch has proved to be utterly necessary in understanding the movie that we had planned to make. Parts of this sketch was screened in our Student Orientated Studies: Media class. This was an eye-opening experience in that a lot of our gags fell flat, some of our scenes just didn’t work the way we though they would, and one of our main characters caught a lot of flak during the critique session after the screening. This and many other factors have led us to the conclusion that the script needs one last definitive rewrite. So the rewrites have been mostly about us throwing out ideas on how to spice things up. The rewrite have consisted of Morgan, Jed and me holed up in Jed’s room as he types madly as we all go back and forth. It has been great. Collaborative writing and brainstorming at its best. So… yeah I am going to go over to Jed’s house today at nine o’ clock and cook everybody some blueberry pancakes while we work through the rewrite.
