After a year of an annoying process called "planning", we've finally commenced our first two days of filming. There were a few bumps along the road, but that happens with anybody just starting out in the biz.
While we had planned to film at Kings Island, some circumstances popped up that made it impossible for us to do so. The major circumstance being that one of the boys we conned persuaded to come with us got kicked out. For a year.
Anyway, the first day of filming was a success regardless of our failed K.I. experiment. We went to the park where the director gave us the entire park to do whatever we pleased. It was the coolest day we've experienced in Middle-Of-Nowhere, Kentucky for 105 days. We were still in the 80s when we filmed, but it was a glorious cool 80s that didn't make me want to slit my wrists.
Although the ominous black clouds heading our way did. But thankfully, it was as if the storm split and went around us, so we got to deal with some pretty awesome overcast-ness, which is a photographer/videographer's dream.
The only downfall to the beautiful day was the wind. The blasted wind. But how can I complain when everything else went so well?
Besides, I'm all "complained" out. The Director got the gist of it, anyway, so I won't bother anyone else with it. Mwahaha.
Oh, and principal photography is finished for the short film!

Director and Producer (me) are meeting with a guy that runs everything over at the local park today. We'll be filming there, hopefully, two days in the coming months. That is...if he likes us. Fingers crossed that he will.
In the meantime, Director wrote a script long ago that was meant for stage, but we adapted it into a short film. Since I have a new, amazing, fantastical camera, we're going to test the short film on that and try to impress people with our amazing skills so they will work for us and give us money. Dream big, right? I just threw that last part in there about the money. But I will accept cash if offered.
Bundles of it.
Composer is doing some neat things right now. He gave me a sample of the soundtrack that he came up with pretty much on the spot, and I was so green with envy it made me want to vomit. People, look out...he's the next Hans Zimmer.
If you don't know who that is, google him or youtube him. Then you'll realize how empty and void your life was before Hans.
And finally, I came to a conclusion today. I love Fall. I love everything about it. The temperature, the colors, pumpkins, the temperature, no allergies, the temperature. I'm happy to be filming in the Fall.
I made a promise to myself that I would never, ever, EVER film in the summer. I did for KFW this Summer, and it's just too much of a hassle. What, with the sweat and tears. And misery.
