I find myself walking on set to what looks like a house party on the fhird floor of the Ollie Center. The actors have showed up, and brought friends and girlfriends. They're surprisingly quiet and respectable, and when we begin filming, the extras filter out slowly. Shots are fast paced and beautiful, and for the extra smoothness we got with the steadycam, it was worth it for a single shot. We wrapped on our first location and a few actors, then moved on. Filmmaking tip #26, always bring a hilighter and a shotlist. Marking things off shows progress and guarantees a shorter, more streamlined experience. Hmm. Filmmaking tip list. I'm making one. Be looking out for it. Editing was a joy with our shots being checked off, until timing and shot speed/length became an issue. Thanks to our organizational skills, we even had time for a little easter egg to add to the end of the video. It's right here, for those of you who made it here. Consider it a show of hands of how many people actually read the blog.
