Shot List

We went to the location again this last Friday and went through some of the buildings and looked at what they had set up. I have started putting together my shot list and am doing some storyboards; I hope to have them done before the first of the year.

The final script is 103 pages which will require us to shoot a massive 8 1/2 pages a day with our shooting schedule. I will have to be extremely prepared to be able to pull this off and my 1st AD is going to need to help us all in accomplishing this. If we are able to raise a little bit more money then we should be able to extend shooting a few days and shave off a little bit of our required daily page count.

stay tuned...

It has begun

It has begun. Today deal memo's were signed and our dates officially confirmed for production. We have had the dates scheduled for a few weeks now but now have it in writing. Bounty goes into production January 22 and should wrap principle photography on February 3.

Along with that, the script is finally locked. It was locked on Wednesday and the only changes that will be made now will only be for a few select scenes. It has been a long processes of rewrites spanning an entire years time since December of 2005. From conception of the project in May of 2004 this project has come a long way.

Things are getting really busy with the prep and will be jam packed right after the holidays. It has been a long ride and we are soon to get to the exciting parts.

Stay tuned...
