Movie Diary #1

Well....Wednesday, July 14, 2004 was the first day of shooting our movie.

I think overall, everything went well. Many thanks to Natalie for letting Matt into her apartment complex. I'm sure she'll receive calls from the neighbors about "What tha HELL was going on in there?" Even I was getting concerned. Also thanks to Matt's mom for letting us spill (as Mr. Stevo calls them) "Fruity Tooties" everywhere.

So out of cheapness and lack of actual film-making know-how, we had/will have to shoot in Matt's house and in locations that are readily available. And seeing as how I don't know that many people...much less many who would let us shoot at their place....the movie will NOT have very many exotic scenery. Sigh.

But I'm pleased because we got the first scene completed for the most part...at least the opening credit sequence. So when I'm able to I would like to go ahead and get a rough cut finished to see if Andrew can score it. Then I should be able to get a feel for how it's all going to work out. Because right now, you have as as much of an idea as I do.

So that's it for "Movie" Shooting Day #1.
1. Opening Scene - Alarm Clock, Pouring cereal
2. Computer scene - principal shots
3. Everything in the Bathroom (although we forgot [!] to actually shoot Matt's foot slipping on the soap)
