End of shoot and wrap party



Alsodann...

It has been a busy few weeks since production wrapped on Into Temptation. It's in the can and we got to see a rough 5 minute edit at the wrap party. Nice looking stuff, I like David Doyle's style as a photographer. I'd let him shoot my movie. Heh. And, as always, Jim Morgan and Lion Thompson kicked it -HARD- in the sound department, delivering some rich tonage for post production to work with. I think this movie is going to be a serious player. Last I heard was there were going to be meetings between some people.

The overall experience was terrific. I had a blast and did my best to work hard and stay out of the way. At least by the end of the shoot I wasn't walking into shot carrying 4x4 foot reflector cards... anymore. Everyone on the shoot was very tolerant of us noobs and wannabes. Well OK, one guy wasn't very patient, but he was by nature a little grumpy.

Hopefully, more work will come. I'm still learning, so I will work 4 cheap. Hell, this beats going to school, and when i think of the student loans I am still paying off, for education I never use... "free" sounds like a bargain. Unlike my virgin day on Nocturne, I think I actually know what most of the stuff on set is called, at least generally. I need to get a good book on lights and electric. One of the Nicks on the crew went for a full electrician's license. I don't think I will get that hardcore.

I also need to spend a shoot on the production side, seeing how a movie gets prepped, organazized and executed. If I am going to make a cheap, CHEAP movie, I should at least know how you do it when you have some money.
