Hey Dan

I am in DC again. For most of the flight, I was looking at the scriptlet I want to shoot. I cleaned up some of the language and added more set direction. Then I wrote a list of the things I would need to start this project. They included:

Actors: Two of them a twenty something guy and a punky looking girl. I have a couple of people in mind as possibilities. I want to have a number of people read. The chemistry of the actors will be important.

Director: Because I want to be behind the camera, I need a director. This means I will have to let go at some point. I am trying to get use to that idea.

Sound: for the shoot I will need a boom mic and a soundman. I know this is an important element. In the past I have not paid as much attention to this as I should.

Storyboards: Once the script is reviewed, the next step is to draw out storyboards for the shoot. This will determine how many shots we need and what camera movement we can put in. It will also be another review for the script.

Post Production: I need to think out the elements that we will need. These things include music, authoring format and art.

It sounds like a great deal of stuff. In truth it is. The good news is that I have a script that is in good shape, a crew ready to film, camera that can handle the job, location with power and support, editing equipment with a kick-butt editor and one guy that wants to tell a story.
