Pre-production Summary and Pics


I figured it was about time to show off some of the work going on behind the scenes. Preproduction is pretty important, as you never want to just jump in and start filming. Enormous amounts of time and effort are required to be sure your shoots go as smoothly as possible. I'd like to share with you my creative process. 

First, the great minds are all gathered in a private feed. The plot is given and feedback is considered.

The scenes are explained one by one on slides, then reordered as seen fit.
The script is then written in (somewhat) proper formatting.

The shotlist will be written up in an excel-like program, with timing and lines corresponding to their shots.

Storyboarding will then take place, and those images will be edited together into an animatic for clarity and recruiting purposes.
Actors love to see what they'll be doing before they do it.
These documents are all hardcopied and kept on location for the duration of the shoot, and any and all actors and crew are given copies of what they need for their part.
