Let’s have a little production update, shall we?
We have nearly two-thirds of episodes 1 & 2 in the can with a successful, long weekend of shooting. And the footage we have is funny and looks freakin’ awesome! However, after a weekend off, and with our next weekend of filming quickly approaching, we found ourselves facing some unavoidable delays. I won’t go into details, but it was enough to send us scrambling for solutions. Ah, the joys of producing a web series. We are now attempting to schedule our final two days of filming.
During this “downtime”, the director and I are working on doing some video pre-visualation so that we can begin cutting together the footage we have so far. This will allow us to determine how the episodes will cut together, timing, and more importantly how we should film the spaceship scenes. The pre-vis will also allow us to start working on the handful of effects we have in the show.
We are also doing some revisions to the spaceship set. Our new Art Director has jumped right in and is throwing bits and pieces around, and I am redesigning the control panels for a more up-to-date look and feel. One of those “wish we had done this before” – but I know the results will be freaky awesome. So, no worries, right?
Big production meeting tomorrow to discuss finishing up this “pilot” and how we turn this fun, two-weekend project into a viable web series.
