There are a lot of little things on the web that are based around a thing and a time period: album-a-day, a novel in a month, etc. One day, while hyped up on coffee, I came up with the brilliant idea: what about a movie a quarter?
One month of pre-production. Writing, scouting, casting, etc.
One month of shooting.
One month of post-production. Editing, reshoots, etc.
Seems like a nice, tight schedule to build up my work and force me into deadlines, but not as restrictive as the 48 Hour Film Project.
Well, it’s already a week into the new year and I’m not sure about ideas. I just think I need to relax and do some freewriting to get some stuff out and come up with something.
Lisa, Tomy, Beth and James are all chomping at the bit to get moving. I just got a great book called “Master Shots” that makes me want to play with some test footage. I am seriously considering buying a Canon HV20 for its 24p cinemode.
Watch this space.
