That's a wrap

We wrapped last night! Everything was great! I really hope we don't need any reshoots and I really hope everything turns out as great as I think it did. Expect a trailer soon. For now, I'm going to rest just a short while. I'm going to lay around and do whatever else I forgot that the world has to offer for the next day or two and then off to editing and scoring and I guess I should begin writing a new project.

Wow

It's so close to being over with the film. We have 1.5 scenes to film and then 1 tomorrow. The scene today is actually one of my favorites. We'll see how it goes. Fingers-crossed that everything looks good, fingers-crossed that we'll be done and clear by tomorrow. Fingers-crossed.

Three more

Well, three more days of shooting. Our ability to shoot has gotten easier each day and we're coming to the end of the road. I'm a lot less stressed than the last few days and I've actually started to get some sleep. However, I am still a little bit stressed but nevertheless I'm finding time to help remind myself there's another world that I must reenter after this film. Including last night, Two Stick Trivia. We won first place and it felt great. It let me go to sleep easier. However, it is now the morning and now I'm back to being the worried guy I've been since last weekend. After we shoot today, we will only have 2.5 scenes left in our film to shoot.

Filming

We have completed four days of filming, completely on schedule. After a few mishaps and problems, we are going strong and everything looks beautiful and great so far. Although I can't necessarily say my health and stress level is at its best because of the film, I can easily say it is worth it right now.

Hopefully I'll have some footage up soon, of course the one or two of you that read this know, that my promises of footage aren't always very good.

How quickly

How quickly things change! The sound equipment is in, the camera is ready to go, the lights too. The script is even better now, I'm super excited. Hopefully I won't lose sleep tonight. Hopefully everything stays like it is now. Hopefully.

Nerves Deteriorating

I keep waking up every morning, worried. Ready to work. There are still a few things going on that may be problematic, but I got one good thing this morning so far: the weather. I know predicting the weather isn't always perfect, but it seems like for the week we film, the weather is going to be great. So that's one good thing I can add to my list.

The sound equipment is coming in today and hopefully everything else will finish falling into place.

Can't Sleep

It's 5:42. I've been awake for about an hour. There are butterflies in my stomach (I know, what a coincidence). I know it's been a while since I posted anything, I apologize. This film has been getting the best of me, as it should. This past weekend was very important. Clay (the DP) and I got together and went over most of the locations, story, some ideas, etc. The art is really starting to come together in the twilight of production (how existential). The actors were great, everything was great. The Memphis Zoo, the Butterfly area, was stunning, comforting, everything I could imagine if not more so. It settled my mind. It all settled my mind. Knowing, that everything was coming together when it needed could not have made me feel better. It was really good to have all these people around completely ready to help out and who you can count on, that is except one person.

Which brings me to the reason I am awake this early. I'm worried. The thing is I'm always worried, but I've never lost sleep over it.

Filming is scheduled to begin on Friday. Almost everything is in order. Almost.

Keeping my fingers crossed and praying to the film gods,
Winsor
