pre-est production

 I went to pick up production equipment from BECON (mentioned them earlier) on Monday and they gave me the deadline of returning the equipment on next weekend. So. I am definitely filming everything this weekend. The original actor for Jim (Graesen) is unavailable this weekend, so I do have a back-up person (actually two back-up people) to play the character if I can't find a good alternative by Saturday. All things considered, the role will probably end up being played by one of these people, which I'm okay with, they can definitely do it.

Anyway, I got a bunch of equipment from BECON: Camera, tripod, lighting, and a boom mic are the main ones. I'm very lucky to have this equipment for free, like I can't overstate that this I am insanely fortunate. I'm planning on giving them a "Special Thanks" in the credits.

The plan at the moment is to shoot the film on Saturday, starting early around 2PM, and there will be around 5 people on set, 3 cast and 2 crew. I'll start setting everything up on Friday, specifically set design. That'll be its own blog post but the plan is to make the place a slob-mess-slob with clothes and trash everywhere. Everything's pretty much ready except that, props are all here, cast and crew are on standby, doing pretty swell right now. I am feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety which is normal. Not much to do until Friday, so I'll see you then..... Goodbye........
